Yesterday's thread is here: http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3823939/posts?page=1301
It’s the same problem there is with test numbers:
You find what you look for, you don’t find what you don’t look for.
Netherlands are testing the general population. Italy, for example, is testing those most at risk. US is looking at cost.
What they find will not be comparable.
I believe I read that same statistic for France. Not good.
Maybe G-Cov (northern Europe and Russia) has a higher youth infection rate. Would be nice to get some type of data out of northern Germany. England and France going log.
These reports are sucky, but really a lot of the people on this thread for weeks have seen that coming - ever since we mourned for Li Wenliang. The stuff out of Iran has been really clear: this doesn’t spare people in their 20s. And despite the paucity of data about children, having run my 3 kids to the ER enough times with croup, flu, strep, etc - I’d be a monkey’s uncle if this virus really automagically skips them!! And now low and behold, the data is starting to say maybe a lot of them will get pneumonia - and that will certainly lead to deaths if you infect enough of them.
This thread has been fantastic - the BEST of FR as I told John Robinson on twitter last week! Keep it up guys this coming together of data and thoughts could help save lives. God Bless you all.
Not liking what i am seeing at the airports tonight
people coming from the hot spots in Europe being screened but airports packed and the line to get screened is hours long
at least some people have the virus
might be better to drop the screening rather then have it spread at the airport ...many super spreaders possible
just do the 14 day quarantine
We already got that stuff last week. But I forgot to get eggs and hamburger buns. We got several extra and will put that in the extra frig. I sent hubby with a list—which usually works out better.
He normally just goes in and gets stuff on the list and doesn’t shop around for other stuff. Today he got a bunch of extra stuff that wasn’t on the list.LOL
I’m hoping the arugula and lettuce in the garden will be up enough to use a little before I run out of lettuce. We still have a few deliveries coming in—all related to my spring reorganizing. Shelves and a garden shed. They should all be here by Mon.-Wed at latest.
I plan on making some home made no-knead bread when the regular bread runs out-so I didn’t get extra bread, but Hubby likes his hamburger Buns and I just can’t make a decent one of those.
We’re ready to stay home for a few weeks now.
Was this the cardiologist at the University of Pennsylvania?
Orlando International Airport has TSA employee test positive.
All 24 hour Walmart stores will begin closing at 11 beginning tomorrow.
oh lordy ..the internet will break if Chuck Norris goes down. He is one of the Top Memes about being strong and kicking butt
if any cheaters took fever reducers, it’ll be worn off by they get to the front of the line?
He’s fine, it’s the virus that’s quarantined.
Don’t know what kind of Doctor.Worked for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.I don’t think it’s been announced yet.It’s a hot mess.
That’s 35 million people. With severe pneumonia? That seems a little high. At least night now.

BREAKING: Hoboken, New Jersey has instituted a 10pm-5am city-wide curfew, and has closed all restaurants and bars. (Restaurants will be allowed to deliver & fulfill takeout orders but not to serve on premises.)
Maybe I was raised by crazy women?
Have you ever wondered why women worry about personal cleanliness? Did you ever even ask?
Women are more vulnerable to infection and disease in our vagina because of our anatomical differences. That was the point I was hoping to make, to get you to stop bashing us girls for needing more TP than you think we should use.
The Italians have an expression -”who do you think you are... “da bossa da backhouse”.
Not interested in a silly unimportant web squabble about toilet habits. Just thought you might be interested in how a woman differs in her efforts to maintain personal hygiene.
Let’s drop it. Not worth the bandwidth, and it bores our fellow Freepers.
The one I saw was
Chuck Norris has coronavirus

I cant tell if Chuck Norris tested postive or if people are just joking on twitter.
