Thanks - yes saw that. He was such a talent!
God rest his soul.
Good morning, Lysie.
Thanks for the scrumptuous looking breakfast!
Just a thought, shouldn’t we wait until after the dem-panic to fill out the census?
oh ok, makes sense?
And a good thought.
Our oldest daughter, who I call a conservative libertarian, posted on FB that they wrote “human” on the race question.
Obamacare kicks in at a certain income level, the poverty level for the state, around $12,000. Below that, Medicaid would cover them. And yes, it is subsidized on a sliding scale up to 400% poverty level. There’s something different if the state expanded Medicaid, i think the lower income limits were raised and Medicaid covers more.
There should be an Obamacare rep at a local hospital that would explain all the choices and let them know how much they would pay and help with forms.
LOL. Thanks.

“Why Italy?” by Tracy Beanz
Gotta read!
Morning - Be back later!
Islands in the Stream one of my favorites.
Thank you Kenny Rogers for being a part of our lives for so long. Your songs are woven into the fabric of our memories, classics, that will live on in the musical heart of a world that will miss you so much.
Rest in peace Gambler— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) March 21, 2020
Excellent work
Amen.
“Why Italy?” by Tracy Beanz sure explains the whole situation that the Italians have gotten themselves into.
It explains to me why China is reaching out to them and helping Italy fight the virus.
Good morning to you, pax!!!

Mornin’ Lysie.
Any more of that breakfast left?
I know I’m getting here late but I’m still hungry!
My new plan is to tell the Obamcare reps that I self identify as an illegal alien so I can get Obamacare for free.
I'll let you all know how well it works...

A CORONAVIRUS AMA
31 questions and answers about COVID-19
My thoughts on what to do now and other topics.
By Bill Gates| March 19, 2020

Is there any chance that the 18 month timeline for development of a vaccine can be shortened, and by how much?
This is a great question. There are over 6 different efforts going on to make a vaccine. Some use a new approach called RNA which is unproven. We will have to build lots of manufacturing for the different approaches knowing that some of them will not work. We will need literally billions of vaccines to protect the world. Vaccines require testing to make sure they are safe and effective. Some vaccines like the flu don’t for the elderly.
The first vaccines we get will go to health care workers and critical workers. This could happen before 18 months if everything goes well but we and **Dr. Fauci and others are being careful not to promise this when we are not sure. The work is going at full speed.

Thoughts on chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine?
There are a lot of therapeutic drugs being examined. This is one of many but it is not proven. If it works we will need to make sure the finite supplies are held for the patients who need it most. We have a study going on to figure this out. We also have a screening effort to look at all the ideas for Therapeutics because the number being proposed is very large and only the most promising should be tried in patients. China was testing some things but now they have so few cases that that testing needs to move to other locations.
How is your foundation helping the current pandemic? Are you donating money, producing products for health workers?
Our foundation is working with all the groups who make diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines to make sure the right efforts are prioritized. We want to make sure all countries get access to these tools. We donated $100M in February for a variety of things and we will be doing more. One priority is to make sure that there is enough manufacturing capacity for therapeutics and vaccines. We have other efforts like our education group working to make sure the online resources for students are as helpful as they can be.
(snip)
When will this all end?
To bring it to small numbers globally we need a vaccine. Many rich countries will be able to keep the number of cases small (including the US) if they do the right things but developing countries will find it very difficult to stop the spread so a vaccine is critical. A group called *GAVI helps buy vaccines for developing countries and they will play a key role once we have a vaccine being made in volume.
