Daily thread #23 here:

“That is what a dr we know in Houston is saying as well.”
Yeah, it seems pretty consistent. My doctor friend, someone I’ve known pretty much my entire life, would tell me if this was nothing, or if it was the end of the world. It’s not the flu, but it’s way further from end of the world. As long as we keep up the containment and mitigation efforts it won’t blow up. The words he used regarding the HCQ+AZT treatment were “cautiously optimistic”. So there’s a ray of sunshine!
Don’t get me wrong, WalMart is stepping up too.
They’ll be the only two left standing after it’s all said and done. And there’s some question whether Walmart will make it. After all, they only deliver. They force their suppliers to deliver to them.
Out of all the logistics companies.
UPS, FEDEX and innumerable smaller outfits are dead meat hanging. Neither has a supply chain of PRODUCT and their data systems are still mostly old school.
It takes a lot of horsepower to track 100 million simultaneous shipments and get them all delivered on time, to the right person.
What if they already have utilities at their 2nd home?
How’s Garcetti going to keep them from heading out?
Also....I don’t think I’d like a small town, overwhelmed hospital situation.
Maybe the small town folks can fight them off with big sticks/branches like the China ppl fought of the Wuhan folks, who tried to escape.
You are too kind but you are still seeing it as a finance guy. We are in the exponential phase. The momentum of the disease is going to drive the path it takes into the well worn grooves of epidemics. We are doubling every two days. If we have been good boys and girls the number of daily deaths should peak at the end of next week. Lets pray we have been.
I suppose your CDGR (whatever that is) lies closest to the line for doubling every two days if 37% compound is a actually 50% per day which my poor memory of Calculus Three seems to faintly recall.
interesting things that Former Bond girl was taking
BUt she shouldnt be sure she is totally recovered...wait for the relapse
CALIFORNIA -
per LA’s Garcetti -
State has waived the one-week waiting period for unemployment. Apply as soon as you’re laid off.
Dept of Ed has waived all interest on student loans for 2 months.
Medicare will provide tele-care free for all medicare people.
HUD properties will suspend all foreclosures/evictions until end of May. But pay your rent if you can.
DASH buses will be free - but leave them for critical workers. (don’t joyride the buses ijits)
Priority is Angelinos, who are the most vulnerable (barf)
All city employees get full benefits and 30 days pay
Starbucks and related will stay open drive-thru near locations where critical workers are working
Sign up to volunteer to provide service to the most vulnerable, locations and phone-trees
Keep checking on your neighbors (DH says throw a rock thru their window to see if they come out the front door haha - j/k)
Those of you that have the means, give, give, give. Garcetti will be calling you. Give him $25M to support child care for health care workers, grants for families who need financial assistance right now, meals for seniors. Coronavirus.lacity.org for more info

500,000 n95 masks to Seattle and NY.
self employed and those on 1099ers get nothing when they cant work
Lancet is the medical version of CNN.
I only saw one online example where it was estimated to be between 1.7 and 3.5, but if the average R0 is actually 6, that would explain how one misdiagnosed patient passed it on to 10 wardmates and 4 medical people, and how 31 people who attended a wedding in Australia ultimately tested positive.
I’ll take a lot of heat for saying this, especially with all the sh!t CA is doing and has done wrong.
But I’m thinking CA is setting the standard for the US on how to handle the Chinese Plague.
And they started early when everyone thought they were crazy. Myself included, and I’m a native.
Maybe that’s why they have around 1,600 cases in 40 million people and enough test kits to have begun surveillance testing in several counties.
NY state has over 10,000 cases. Hell, by the time of this writing, NYC alone may have that many...diagnosed.
Almost all the quarantine has been through admonition. They assumed that everyone knew what was essential and what was not. And a lot of their great companies led the way.
I look for Walmart to buy fedex.
They should test the HCQ+AZT treatment on the coronavirus patients currently slamming that large hospital on Long Island. The medical folks are overwhelmed there, and there is a shortage of proper PPE, so they’re in danger of contracting the virus themselves. A real-life experiment under Right To Try.
WebMD Coronavirus 2020 update:
We’re like that sometimes.
If I have to pay 50c or a cpl bux more to get somewhere else I do.
But sometimes that’s just not possible.
Well, with all the people crowding the beaches and evading stay-at-home orders by pretending to go to the store — with children in tow — Winnie the Flu’s gift will simply keep on giving. Hopefully, none of us here will end up at a slammed hospital because of these idiots.
Amazon’s hiring workers. It’s a rough trade, and hopefully they can provide PPE, but that might get you through the next year.
Wow. In context, that’s quite inconsiderate of them. If they holed up at home, they would help minimize the spread. How many of these runaways are untested carriers?
