permanent crowns installed I think those may be considered emergency.

Not by my dentist. One of my crowns came out 3 weeks ago in a coughing fit at the start of a bad 2 1/2 weeks of coughing. I don't think it was Coronavirus, but I suppose it could have been. Anyway, I'm fine now, and I called this morning to have it put back in, and they said they're closing for 3 weeks and that the only patients they would see are those who are in extreme pain, which I'm not. So I have to wait at least 3 weeks, and probably more to have it put back in. I'm thinking of just using Gorilla Glue myself, LOL.

I’m totally confused about ACE inhibitors

ARB stands for angiotensin receptor blocker. Angiotensin is a chemical that controls your blood pressure by vascular pressure, and blocking it causes your blood pressure to lower. A precursor chemical is turned into antiotensin by an enzyme called angiotensin converting enzyme, or ACE. ACE-2 is also a target for Covid-19. It is thought that your blood pressure med may keep the virus from attacking various places in your body - your lungs, liver, kidneys, and intestinal lining - that have this receptor.

I would prefer the states doing it...but Florida’s governor has no intention of going there.

So then what, do we isolate Florida from the rest of the country, since they’ll be another Wuhan (assuming the other 49 states do lockdown and control the virus)?

I’d prefer we all do it together.

Not like any flu.

Virus has same interaction on cells as HIV. Binds to ACE - protein to gain direct entry into cells. Happens in lower lungs.

“I’d prefer we all do it together.”
Not if you have any libertarian or Constitutionalist genes in you!

Sure, it’s become a national problem now, But it wasn’t earlier.

States could have implemented containment and suppression efforts if they’d wanted to (and they should have).
But they could blame the feds and the medias would back them!

If we don’t hold the states responsible for their duties, then we’ll have no states except in name.

It really looks like a serious facility.

I don't remember all the stats, but the USNS Comfort is a 1,000 bed hospital with a helipad, several trauma-equipped Operating Rooms, Intensive Care Unit, and living quarters for several thousand crew. I'm not sure, but I think I remember learning that it began life as an oil tanker, of all things.

Everyone in the CDC leadership needs to be airlifted to the center of Antarctica without clothes, food, or shelter. Parachutes optional.

I said CDC last time, but that was a typo.
