how much DNA do they share with cats..it has shown to jump to cats

[RummyChick]

does any know what is causing people to be so exhausted as they fight the virus? Is it that the red blood cells are not getting enough oxygen

SCOTLAND’S chief medical officer has resigned after being caught flouting coronavirus lockdown rules with trips to her holiday home.

If it wasn’t exponential, wouldn’t the line be flat on a log graph (slope = 0). It just means our various measures, including those eeeeeeeeevil HCQ treatments, are decreasing the actual exponent, which is better ‘n’ nuttin’.

(BTW, I love how the recoveries are currently outpacing deaths.)

You CANNOT make this chit up.

I prefer Trump over Hillary or some gutless jive turkey like Romney or Obama.

Almost missed it! Thanks, Mariner!

I worshiped with my church family online, planted zucchini, then added a new “room” onto my chicken coop for my new babies. All In all a productive day.

A Turkish village made headlines because a dozen or so people died of it there. Later, maybe a year, maybe two, an American researcher went to that village and tested everyone in the village for antibodies and asked the relevant questions and concluded that the entire village had been infected. The ones who died made the news and the flaming statistics

That is interesting.

Many on other threads are posting defiant statements that they are going golfing or what not.

In some states, golf is okay as long s no carts, maintain social distance, leave flag as-is, no use of rakes, etc.

As long as people are abiding by those stipulations, is there a problem with playing golf?

[LilFarmer]

Not good, I was afraid of that.

China figures indicate

Dude. China has been lying from day 1. Literally.

South Korea and Diamond Princess and numerous other data indicate that the distribution of case severity is 55% asymptomatic, 25% mild, 15% severe and 5% critical. If all those "90% asymptomatics" were out there, where are all the hotspots and bodies? It has been well documented that asymptomatic infected can be contagious, and just because you caught it from an asymptomatic person does not mean you will become one. You might very well end up a critical case. Or an asymptomatic super spreader like the ones that caused many of the hotspots. Don't make up imaginary friends that even you don't want to play with.

But you believe what ever makes you feel good about being a FluBro. Leave the grownups to discuss important matters.

[LilFarmer]

Tell me about it. GA changes when they report everyday. I am keeping a spreadsheet, but I only take GA stats at about 10 pm daily

[calenel]

There are people right here on FR that are doctors that flat out disagree with you. As do the RL doctors that I know and have discussed this with. As do the large majority of doctors in general.

But, of course, what you feel must be the truth.

Just wear a damned mask and go vote. Shutting down various businesses, regulating the number of people in stores, the stay-at-home rules, etc. are fine*, but if we keep postponing VOTES, we WILL give all these police-state fascists what they want.

Who wants to live forever?

*if done on county-by-county basis until a supermajority of counties are effected - THEN you shut down the entire state - it's more consistent with our notions of liberty and localism.

I don't think that is unusual. When we had h1N1 we were exhausted for weeks. The smallest things and we'd all just be wiped out after. It gradually went away and our energy levels came back. It probably took a full 4-6 weeks to feel normal again. Also, the get our appetites and taste for things back took some time.

I have had the flue probably 5 times in the past 20 years, and it's always like like though the H1N1 was particularly tough.

[riri]

Same and it's what I am really concerned about. Otherwise, I wouldn't be too, too worried.

Until I know the answer to if this thing ever truly goes away, I am doing everything I can to not get it.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Oh, please! Just wait until a couple of week’s after your state’s curve gets a negative slope, then start opening ‘er up! Easy peasy. Don’t listen to the Microsoft Nazi Geek.

[LilFarmer]

Good post. I agree, if people really had this, they would know. A lot of folks around them would be sick and some would be in ICU
