Home gym? Put an exercise bike in front of your computer with a generator attached. You can only surf while you pedal! Great motivation.

"Patient Infected With Two Strains of COVID-19 In Iceland"

"It is thought the mutated second strain could be more malicious or infectious because people infected by the dual-strain patient were only found to have the second strain. If this is the case, the virus could be mutating to become more infectious over time."

Looks like about 3/4 of parishes to me. Time for LA to shut down.

I take ibuprofen and acetaminophen almost daily. I try to balance it out for liver/kidney issues so they go out together.

Not kidding. Pain sucks. Can’t help it.

NYC is Wuhan. Forget them in ‘the big picture’.

From what I’ve seen we haven’t been ‘treating’ covid cases.
They’re tested for flu, etc and die waiting for real treatment.

Docs discussing their covid cases.

OTOH lots of America seems free of the virus. Which is bad because they aren’t creating immunity.

It’s a complicated picture, but will get clearer.

“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! :)”

Yes. Well known scientific fact. Well, it was before the FemiFascists suppressed it.

It can mutate either way. If it becomes too weak we just brush it off and it becomes another "cold". Too strong and it kills the host too fast. It's those happy mediums that suck the most.

Better ‘n’ nuthin.’ Or just do it geographically by opening up counties that haven’t reported a recent case.

That will change rapidly in coming days and weeks. Most hospital ERs/ICUs will be unrecognizable, as they will be treating patients in the hallways and waiting areas.

Maybe posted already:

Amy Klobuchar’s husband in serious condition with coronavirus.

In hospital, on oxygen, not a vent...has pneumonia.

Also, 65 American Hasidic Jews visiting Jerusalem in hospital with Covid.

The rest of the group, 117, under quarantine in the Hotel Dan.

And at that point, you just need to make sure you’ve made your peace with your Maker.

Nobody gets out of this life alive. Something is going to get us, and there are far too many ways I’d prefer to not go. Far more than the ways I want to, like in my sleep.

I guess God put too much of a will to live in me. Hard as this life is, I’m not in a hurry to get out, much less by pneumonia.

Oh Sh*t.

It'll take out ...they'd better quarantine EVERYONE on our Trident subs 24x7 while getting stores.

We don't want *that* kind of boomer remover.

I don’t think it will come to that except in some areas. Our hotspots are there already it seems.
Treatment is the key, the ‘silver bullet’.

Gardening is great exercise, too, and many people are going to be trying it if they want to eat.

Here in Minnesota, there’s converting a closed private prison to treat future COVID-19 cases.

It’s in Appleton, way out in the western part of the state. Not far from the South Dakota border.

Peer the map in the article, there doesn’t seem to be many ICU beds to accommodate the more sicker patients.
