Hyperventilate much?
Welcome aboard!
I’m still on edge because what percent of our manufacturing is shut down waiting for those chinese widgets.
Any idea when we’ll start getting those chinese widgets again?
I’d hate to lose a major appliance, like my washer, and not be able to get another one. that would be icky. banging clothes on a rock down by the river...
And domestic antibiotic production would be really great too.
The deaths are disappointing.
I wonder how long it will take to know from that daily number whether the new meds are really working or not.
I am not sure if the factories in China are fully operational yet.
NY state accounts for HALF of US cases and deaths. Thanks, primarily, to NYC.
Let that sink in.
“In early Feb they were still saying there was no aerosol transmission.”
I think the CDC had all their faith in the WHO when they stated that. The WHO was claiming that.
I will have to go back and review what they meant by “Low Risk”. I am not sure if they meant low risk contracting it, I believe that was low risk of dying from it. I think they keep saying low risk keep us calm.
I am still thinking we will turn out better then South korea, but I could be wrong on that after watching New York City. I am hoping for far less.
“Dr. Birx was just up there saying that the UK had revised their death rates down from 500,000 to 20,000.”
That is really mess up. Wonder how much that 500K effected markets and decisions. Lesson do trust UK science.
I won’t believe they are until our factories get the widgets they need to restart production.
Until then, those workers will be SOL.
Betcha that takes into account the HCQ.

During a press conference on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis says Atria Willow Wood negligence is possibly criminal.
Six residents of a Fort Lauderdale assisted-living facility have died from the new coronavirus, including three new deaths reported Thursday.
The death toll at Atria Willow Wood has been rising since the first resident died March 16, and others have tested positive for the disease.

State Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli said the person was a part-time worker in the northern part of the state. Officials did not identify where the person worked.

“but they didnt”
So what is Birx reading?
“Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leave Canada and set up home in LA “
I guess the Canada heath care was not good enough for the virus treatment.
“I am still thinking we will turn out better then South korea”
If infection and death is the game, they aren’t in the same league with us. They are not even playing the same sport.
We'll see three waves, and the first is just starting in NYC. This wave will end around May-June after it hits every major metropolitan area and some to a lot of the medium-size ones. Deaths will lag new infections (those with symptoms) by 10-20 days, which is pretty normal.
There will be an apparent pause in July-August which most will attribute to summer, and that might even be true. Many will say the epidemic is over.
Then the second wave will pick up in September-October. That depends in part on whether the schools reopen. It might be worst than the first wave in both infections and deaths, and will peter off about two months after it starts. This may well be the real killer wave. It will be everywhere, i.e., including where it swept through the first time.
And there will be a third wave coming on around February-March 2021. This too might be a bad one, but IMO there is a reasonable chance that its death rate will be low because I expect a reasonably effective cure for it by then consisting of a combination of drugs and therapies, plus there will be sufficient ventilators and oxygen systems by then.
This isn't speculation but it is a non-expert opinion, though based on a whole lot of data, mostly the history of past epidemics.
My opinion on the epidemic's end is clouded by the current uncertainty about the degree of immunity conferred by contracting and surviving the Wuhan Virus. Leaving that out of the equation, I'd say it will end either with widespread use of an effective vaccine (if nothing else ends it first), or perhaps earlier by mutation into a less virulent and lethal form the way the Spanish Flu did.
I await the antibody tests.
Are they still working on one that operates like a home pregnancy test? only with a finger stick for blood sample?
