R naught was calculated in China at 3.8 before quarantines. they are now well below 1.0.

CRAZY contagious.

R naught is only a measure that is relevant absent intervention. Quarantine reduces the R naught.

Here we go folk. They’re buying MBS, mortgage backed securities

Let the fun begin. If you have room in your schedule, view "The Big Short" on Amazon. It's a fact filled dramatization of the 2007/2008 meltdown from bundled, unworthy mortgage backed securities.

The only thing I’ve seen my Gov, Abbott do/say, recently is that he’s removing regs to allow alcohol delivery trucks to help deliver groceries to stores.

OK. Thats cool. Here is what I was ALWAYS told by medical professionals here.

Drink enough to pee once every 30 minutes to 40 minutes or so. You go once every 40 minutes to and hour? So what? The point is, as I was told, that the body needs those fluids to flush out the virus. When you are dehydrated, the body withholds fluids, and you will experience more problems.

I have YET to have any so called medical “expert” on here to tell me that they have a better way to treat this than mothers home care we were all brought up with. That is..lots of fluids, getting fresh air after your fever breaks, Soups, crackers-light meals, and bundling to break the fever, getting into a hot tub and soaking..etc.

BTW, every single person I know who I have talked to these past days are really laughing about this. They are as amazed as I am at the whole thing.

I hate to tell you this, but the country and rural people are getting so they do NOT LIKE anyone from the urban/population centers. One told me that the city slickers cows have finally come home to roost.

The “experts” can go shove it. Until they have a cure all for this, I aint listening.

What do you want us to do about it? We can’t even shut down Chick-A-Fil after they backstabbed us, or Target when they started sending men into the women’s rest room. All we can do is discuss what’s going on.

Yes if I still lived in California I would be required to stay in my home by the Governor, because of my age. Thank God I have moved to Texas where I can still roam free.— Chuck Woolery (@chuckwoolery) March 16, 2020

You have to give us some hints/direction....of where/what to stay away from.

YEARS ago, we had a friend that sold sanitizing products to grocery stores. He told us to stay away from our (closest) neighborhood store’s meat dept :- /

Dang! 41 cases? The local news is sure not spreading that one around. My child didn’t even mention that. He is in the medical field and is in Phoebe Putney (Albany’s hospital) at least once a week. First responders are a tight community and they have been trying to keep one another informed.

“I had a heck of a time trying to find a freezer.”

I got my most recent one a week ago, and yes, they were getting tight!

Maybe to hospice care, but not hospitals. Very real codes which won’t be financially feasible would prohibit hospitals, but hospice for this temp condition is feasible.

Do you have any good butcher shops near you Jane? I bought a 1/4 beef the other day here, much better than chain store meat. $3.29/lb hanging weight cut and wrapped.

“social distancing “reduces the r naught... or doesn’t?

We’ve heard locally that the big box stores are really low on or out of the smaller chest freezers.

I can’t remember what thread I posted on but yesterday our power flickered in the afternoon a cpl times. Unusual because it was clear/sunny. Hubby and I joked it was everyone plugging in their new freezers LOL.

Beginning of Feb I bought a small 2 eye hot plate. Just in case my stove kicks the bucket. Pretty sure the control board has MIC stuff. It was a $30 investment in being able to cook. Worst case hubby takes it to the deer camp.

Also bought a big toaster oven. I do a LOT of baking and cook from scratch so I use my oven a lot. This way if something happens to my stove I can still cook. Also lets me cook w/o cranking up the ‘big oven’ in my stove if I want to just cook some brownies or something. It was a purchase we’d been thinking of making for a year or so and just decided to do it.

Hopefully if something happens to my oven...between crockpot, instant pot, hot plate and big toaster oven we can still eat.

This is really scaring me a hell of a lot more than this damn virus, watching these legislators SHUT entire cities down AND their ability to scare the entire population into this kind of submission OMG I never expected our country to EVER stand for this kind of BS!!! I am completely saddened to see this!! Walking into the grocery stores was just like walking into a store in Venezuela, Cuba, USSR extremely eye opening, I can understand store shelves looking like this in a weather situation in certain states BUT to see this across the entire country FRIGHTENING!!! This makes me realize just how easy it would be for the media AND government to take TOTAL control of our lives!! Makes me want to cry out loud!! More surprising to me is people on this site falling hook line and sinker for this BS, WE are the citizens that are supposed to be pushing back full throttle!!!

I had it the second week of Jan.

Headaches, dry cough, fever..for a day or day and a half.

Did what I always do and my mom did when we were sick. Lots of fluids-green tea, water, juices, etc. Soft boiled eggs, soda crackers, a little toast, soups, etc. Got in front of the heater and turned it up and breathed the hot air, took several hot soak tub baths. Vicks vapor rub..all that. Lots of rest, etc.

Broke the fever and then got out in the fresh air. Went to work the third/fourth day and walked virtually all day at 7000 ft alt.

And I am a son of a B for saying that and stating that a panic has been caused by people in the media, and here, and now we have people fist fighting in front of Walmart over TP-this afternoon in Kingman Az. Wife saw that.

You are right. It hit late Nov to early Dec and we heard nothing till guess when? AFTER the impeachment thing failed.
