“My grudge is with the ‘just burn through it’ with no quarantines or shutdowns kind of people.”

Agree.

“And how are people going to support their families and eat?”

That’s easy. When grandma dies of CV that her stupid grandson brought back from Spring Break, her kids will get all her money and full pantry.

He said it was named covid 19 because there were 18 more like it and they included the common cold.

Rush has definitely blown it on this one. Perhaps it's because he's got other things on his mind and doesn't have the bandwidth to keep up with things not related to his own health. I don't mean that as a criticism. When my sister had breast cancer, I got a wake up call about how much of your attention it takes. You have to keep track of every. damn. thing. that happens to you. It takes over your whole life. So I'm willing to cut him some slack, but he does need to be educated on this.

Wrong.
He’s been on it.
As POTUS left it to the state governors, so did desantis leave it to the counties and the cities.
As things change the counties and cities have made their call

That’s who is getting this prophylactically.

I won’t say more as it was a private mail.

I do know I read somewhere that India was using it as such.

Heaven help us if it gets totally out of hand there.

“I am afraid if the new Choloroquine treatement does not work our Hospitals in major city will be overrun.”

Some are already close.

The outlook for HCQ is promising. But there is one caveat that I know of - if you are too far along, it doesn’t help.

Isn’t it amazing how few people understand that we are a Republic rather than a democracy? I guess civics was a class they slept thru?

A quibble. That only works when those who developed CV during the 15-day period are also tested for it, AND THE TEST RESULTS COME BACK IMMEDIATELY. The government hasn't realized that last detail yet. Right now a 15-day lockup period means little. A 21-day period might work.
"A quarantine gives time (15 days) for those who got infected just before the quarantine to fall out and self-identify - they get sick."

You’re correct.
I’m surprised, even here, at the civics illiteracy level.

“I know we will all die if we shut down until a vaccine is made.”

I don’t think that has ever been on the table. Nor do I recall seeing anybody advocate for that.

But if we had a 24 hour curfew for 2 or 3 weeks, nationwide, (call out for supplies) and absolutely sealed our borders, we would be largely free of the virus. Simply not feasible, though. Instead we have to fight a slow retreat until reinforcements arrive.

I meant in a larger sense. When I was the only non-banker on the senior leadership of a bank, I asked a lot of stupid questions.

What I learned is that hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into the system every pay period.

That money is funneled into mutual funds run by a handful of companies. Those funds are run by analysts and managers who pick the companies included in heir “diverse” fund. The amount of stock they buy will generate great returns in stock prices.

Now, that manager or analyst will come around to do due diligence. When that MBA with little personal interest in the business decides that you can scratch out 9% YOY next quarter, you had better hit that. Or you get dumped from the fund. That would cause a stampede because no one else is paying attention.

It’s not like the old days when a big insurance company or pension system would hold huge amounts of your company. The Presidents would have relationships and history. They could warn of a bad quarter coming, and make adjustments.

Now it’s some little jerk with an HP12c, who pretty much threatens the board.

All of this because the 401(k) gave up the direction of America’s pensions to the fool picking his nose across from you in the cafeteria.

And take a look at the boards of directors of these 401 funds and managers. Lots of former banking committee members and Senators on those boards.

What is this herd thing ?
The infected rude spring breakers were crowding into local restaurants , grocery stores , walmart , and any food establishment.
They are a menace in any town.
They infected lots of locals go look at the FL infected map.
Look at Miami , Ft Laud , Palm beach , Naples , Tampa , and Ft Myers .
S FL will explode thinks to spring break not being cancelled .
Just like NOLA and Mardi Grasi .

“It is a very, very fine line to walk, and we can’t expect him to walk it perfectly.”

Concur. I have great faith in him, though. He’ll do as well as anybody else might have, probably better.

On this thread it was stated that the CFR of 4% meant that 4% of those who get infected will die - that is WRONG. This is due to the fact that not a random sample are tested.

We have been in lockdown for about a week, I think. Trump is giving us to April 15. That should be sufficient.
99 out of a hundred people will survive. There will be social unrest is the economy shuts down so badly that they are unable to feed their families.
