Death rate conversations are kind of moot, aren’t they?

If it is you or a loved one, the only rate that matters is 0% or 100%.

Debating this stuff—at this point is the “dancing on the head or a pin.”

It really doesn’t matter.

We have been discussing supply chain disruption.

This is coming home to roost in Germany.

You cannot make and sell stuff with parts and products that are not there.

Does anyone know if positive tests for the flu are ever preserved? I would expect the great bulk would be disposed as medical waste, but if any are preserved, could those collected in Sept-Dec 2019 be tested again to determine if the Wuhan coronavirus was already in the USA then?

And is there a way to test for antibodies cheaply and quickly? If so, and if a significant percentage of the US has those antibodies, perhaps the panic curve can be bent down sooner.
