I hope they remove the foot covers and other disposable items when they enter the floor and put new items on. I’m sure they do. Still strange. Lord knows what odd habits they get into while spending so much time working in a hospital setting.

thanks for the link about ratio of elderly in Italy. Of interest will be the mortality rate.

Has Italy sequenced their strain yet?

“ It has Europe’s highest proportion of people older than 65, a ratio that is second in the world to Japan.”

Now do...Congress.

How many House members are over 60?

How many Senators are over 60...70...80?

How many Governors (replacement appointments) are non-GOPe Republicans?

Excellent idea to keep the hand sanitizer bottle on the outside of your bag so it’s easy to get to.

Thinking of sewing a little tobacco sized tote that comes below the flip top and loop the drawstring around my purse strap.

DW is up and running in full swing. Some friends from Tx are there now. (I realize it was just an example. But thought I’d let you know all is well in the world of Disney. )

Always.

Every single time.

Authorities make the right decision to close things down about an incubation period too late.

Because of ‘business’.

And after, business is hurt even more because of the delay.

I saw last night on some news program (no link and no proof it ever happened for those in a tizzy) other countries’ test results come back in 4-5 hours. There is NO reason ours can take up to a week.

Saudi of 75yrs ago would have stopped it cold.

Or actually hot.

Unfortunately(?) Saudi is highly airconditioned.

They even aircondition OUTDOOR venues.

You're just utterly, irretrievably wrong.

One of the doctors in China, who had not been to Wuhan, caught it from a doctor who HAD been to Wuhan (this was back in January, btw), merely by sitting at the same table as him at a conference.

Nice try, though.

Here in Seattle the Sounders played on Saturday. Attendence was down an estimated 7,000 - “only” 40,000 people showed up.

One guy said he lived in a retirement home. He was more concerned about getting it there - “And of course I have to come out and support my Sounders!!”

I’m guessing if he can afford to go to a Sounders (soccer) match he probably has enough money where he can live in a decent retirement home. You know - one that has people sign in and out, have someone monitoring, etc. That is MUCH more dangerous than a soccer game with 40,000 people. /s

Using my VXX call profits and rolling the right into Gold.

Tempted to buy gold.

Looking when to buy Baltic Dry Index, and airlines. ("Buy when there's blood in the streets").

Any other ideas for unjustly-battered stocks or sectors, let me know.

Yes and a regular size bottle in my car and at each entrance into my home. It’s been SOP for visitors or those who live here tho use it when coming in (for 4.5 years now). I wash my hands when I get in. But I don’t put that kind of expectation on anyone else. Luckily, I don’t have to ask. Everyone knows what to do by now. Take off your shoes and sanitize.

_Somebody_ is going to make a killing on the vaccine—no clue which pharma company, though.

I coated my feet with peanut butter ***

I have to stop and say, that is the first time I’ve ever seen a sentence that incorporated feet and peanut butter. I guess you live to see it all after all

I know you are intelligent. Let's say Disney shut down tomorrow for two 14 day incubation cycles = 28 days. 100% of Disney workers are on the verge of serious hurt after a month without wages. 100% of hotel and restaurant workers are behind in their monthly payments too.

Now, we re-open Disney World. Are you ready to shut it down again the next day when COVID-19 is still active?

What is your executive decision?

I can’t tell if you’re serious or sarcastic. If you look at the numbers it’s not panic it’s real. Are you suggesting people to bury their head in the sands and pretend this is all fake news, and it’s just the flu? I’d think seeing you’re in the medical field, someone in your position should be taking this way more serious than the laize faire attitude I’m getting from your replies.

Yes. That was last year’s attendance.
