They assured me they were screening at the door and if you meet certain criteria you arent allowed in...big whoop. Havent they heard of people shedding the virus with no symptoms

I have my gear set up I am going to wear.

Not going full hazmat..but might look like something from some sci fi movie. Mask, Goggles, tight cover thing I wear to cover my hair, gloves and going to wrap a winter scarf around my head

Don’t care if people say masks dont work.

It will help some

Rather look like a freak then catch it from the frontline or someone waiting .

"As much as I have enjoyed sports over the years, I am finding I’m not missing them all that much."

I agree. They seem kind of silly right now, don't they?

They should be closing it soon—hopefully they never open it up again—and use it as an ancillary hospital—forever!

“If it continues to spread at that rate, then we will hit 100,000,000 on April 23.”

Confirmed cases will increase with wider testing, artificially increasing the rate.

Still, assume your sentence above is correct.

In your experience has any epidemic spread like that?

What you’re saying is mathematical but not necessarily realistic biologically.

People said similar things about China.

Can you tell us what percentage of tested people are positive and if that rate is changing?

“See, he overreacted!”, when, in fact, it was his action that prevented the disaster from developing. If, on the other hand, he takes action too late, then everyone properly says he blew it. Either way, he loses. And then there’s the normalcy bias, which is strong in politicians, and apparently even stronger in you.”

The exact opposite is also true.

Thanks but not what I want.

Example: the “Daily New Deaths” here... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/south-korea/

That tells me that a month ago the spread peaked in SK. Assoming no change.

In the great pandemic of 1918 the flu peaked in the spring, declined to almost nothing in the summer.

Then it ramped up again in the fall, stronger than ever.

It ain’t over til its over.

China needs to close down during the next Chinese New Year to avoid a repeat.

It is incredible that I am being forced to do this. They are requiring I come and have blood work done..like just regular bloodwork just to get a refill

Yeah, I got tired of that years ago and get my BP meds (and other things) off shore. 10 days for delivery and more expensive, though. But no prescription needed.

you should watch the lectures that go with those sources first. Taking a zinc lozenge and eating some kale ain't gonna do it.

re: The second method is breathing hot air of 104 deg F for over an hour.

sorry Charlie, no cigar:

(deep breath of hot air:)
Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Eswatini, Ethiopia,[115] Gabon,[116] Ghana, Guinea,[117] Kenya,[118] Ivory Coast,[119] Liberia,[120] Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia,[120] South Africa, Sudan,[121] Tanzania,[122] Togo and Tunisia.

(exhale, more hot air:)
: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, Venezuela and the French overseas department of French Guiana.

(and another:)
Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, the United States, Aruba, the Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Barthélemy and Saint Martin.

(almost there, one more)
Australia, New Zealand, French Polynesia and Guam.

whew! I wonder what all those folks think of inhaling hot air? You're smarter than that.

Got that old written prescription still? I’d have no problem with getting creative in terms of ordering the blood pressure medicine off an internet site at a time like this. It’s not like it’s some controlled pain killer or something. Good luck with it and take care of yourself.

Yeah, we don’t know about the seasonality of this yet.
I won’t try any vaccine this year. I’ll let others test the first vaccine.
I assume we’ll have vaccine soon.

Just for thought: this covid may result in a fantastic advance in anti-RNA virus medicine. Saving uncounted lives in the future.
Just something to think about.

Yeah, the online Indian pharmacies have most BP meds available right now. Don’t need the script.
