I would like it but I don’t want to end up in the ER.

Yes, it does hit the young and fit (FluBro Cult says: they must all have secret illnesses, you see). But it affects the old and ill much more. Fat people often have other issues, and we still don’t know what counts.

Everybody is at risk.

My wife, who works at a nursing home, came home with a letter on company stationary that said she works in an essential field and is an essential employee, here in Missouri. MO did the stay at home order on the 21st and it will last until Apr 6th.

Her papers are in order.

There was something else going around. lots of people had it. It was too early and too widespread to have been CCP-19 if the timeline we know about is accurate. I don’t dispute it was nasty - I had what ever it was, too. But I think it had to have been a flu strain or a vicious cold.

Widespread testing will tell us. Coming soon.

We should be concentrating on what needs to be accomplished to reopen the economy.
That will be clearer as time passes.

One thing we’ll need is a level of immunity in the population so the outbreak doesn’t restart. Probably around 50% is the line, but that’s a wild guess.

That chart is entirely plausible. We should peak about mid-April, which is when everyone, and I mean everyone will be freaking out. 300,000 confirmed US cases is not beyond reason.

More than 100 deaths were added to the US tally, after I posted the chart earlier today (775 total). Numbers of dead are doubling every three days.

There are 21 days until tax day. If this doesn't slow, the death toll will double 7 times by then. We're looking at maybe 100,000 dead by the middle of next month, April 15, at the peak - according to JPM's analysts - chart source.

That's three times the flu. That many more could die on the other side of the peak. That's a possible 200,000 dead, if we don't find better cures, before the Corona virus burns itself out in the US alone.

“She was sick with all the classic symptoms at the end of Feb, that could be traced back through six other people to a person who had just come from China - sick.”

That I can believe. Much more appropriate to the known timeline. She can get tested now, I presume. They want people with antibodies for some of the treatments being tested.

“Of course, I know there’s two strains and that there is question about immunity, etc, but still, if she’s had it along with the others and if they are immune, the herd immunity is getting there.”

Not to disappoint, but for herd immunity to be truly effective, the vast majority of folks have to have acquired immunity either by vaccination or the hard way. And my contact says we can’t count on cross strain immunity, at least not yet. So much we don’t know yet. But it would be good for your daughter, for one strain, anyway! That much is good news.

Keeping people locked down has another benefit. It keeps the strains from mingling. We have no idea, yet, what happens under those conditions. Is that the source of the reinfection claims, or is it just relapses? Can human beings handle the 1-2 punch of both strains? Or does one just soften you up for the other? If that’s the case, I’ll be totally in the bioweapon camp. And then all timelines and assumptions are out the window.

“I get tired of seeing everything in ALL CAPS with 3-5 exclamation points posted after it !!!!!!!!!!!!”

I can think of several posters that do that.

And, IIRC, it's been scientifically proven ("maybe"), that ogling over women's breasts is good for a man's health and can add years to his life! :)
