Lol yea that's important to note,not. Perhaps the worst part of this whole thing is everyone who tries to make political points out of every discussion. Screw ya right and left wingers it's not about you

Basically what I am saying is if a nationwide panic starts who knows what happens. The potential for total societal anarchy is always under the surface. Do not let this virus define who you are. Maintain your calm, take reasonable proactive measures to assure your safety. But don't be the person who panics in the crowd and sets off a chain reaction.

N95 masks need to be fitted by someone who knows how they are supposed to fit. I see these people on TV with N95 masks on with obvious gaps.

Wrong about what? I agree with the good Doctor. Fear mongering and panic accomplish nothing. Good hygiene and being calm is what I say. Its coming, keep your cool. Not looking to find an agenda

Please be careful in stoking uncertainty and unnecessary fears. From Doctor Abdu Sharkaway I'm a doctor and an Infectious Diseases Specialist. I've been at this for more than 20 years seeing sick patients on a daily basis. I have worked in inner city hospitals and in the poorest slums of Africa. HIV-AIDS, Hepatitis,TB, SARS, Measles, Shingles, Whooping cough, Diphtheria...there is little I haven't been exposed to in my profession. And with notable exception of SARS, very little has left me feeling vulnerable, overwhelmed or downright scared. I am not scared of Covid-19. I am concerned about the implications of a novel infectious agent that has spread the world over and continues to find new footholds in different soil. I am rightly concerned for the welfare of those who are elderly, in frail health or disenfranchised who stand to suffer mostly, and disproportionately, at the hands of this new scourge. But I am not scared of Covid-19. What I am scared about is the loss of reason and wave of fear that has induced the masses of society into a spellbinding spiral of panic, stockpiling obscene quantities of anything that could fill a bomb shelter adequately in a post-apocalyptic world. I am scared of the N95 masks that are stolen from hospitals and urgent care clinics where they are actually needed for front line healthcare providers and instead are being donned in airports, malls, and coffee lounges, perpetuating even more fear and suspicion of others. I am scared that our hospitals will be overwhelmed with anyone who thinks they " probably don't have it but may as well get checked out no matter what because you just never know..." and those with heart failure, emphysema, pneumonia and strokes will pay the price for overfilled ER waiting rooms with only so many doctors and nurses to assess. I am scared that travel restrictions will become so far reaching that weddings will be canceled, graduations missed and family reunions will not materialize. And well, even that big party called the Olympic Games...that could be kyboshed too. Can you even imagine? I'm scared those same epidemic fears will limit trade, harm partnerships in multiple sectors, business and otherwise and ultimately culminate in a global recession. But mostly, I'm scared about what message we are telling our kids when faced with a threat. Instead of reason, rationality, openmindedness and altruism, we are telling them to panic, be fearful, suspicious, reactionary and self-interested. Covid-19 is nowhere near over. It will be coming to a city, a hospital, a friend, even a family member near you at some point. Expect it. Stop waiting to be surprised further. The fact is the virus itself will not likely do much harm when it arrives. But our own behaviors and "fight for yourself above all else" attitude could prove disastrous. I implore you all. Temper fear with reason, panic with patience and uncertainty with education. We have an opportunity to learn a great deal about health hygiene and limiting the spread of innumerable transmissible diseases in our society. Let's meet this challenge together in the best spirit of compassion for others, patience, and above all, an unfailing effort to seek truth, facts and knowledge as opposed to conjecture, speculation and catastrophizing. Facts not fear. Clean hands. Open hearts. Our children will thank us for it.

Christ that's the bummer post of the year

Shot hour

I added all the cases your pic only has cases over 100

Take China out,then add all the cases get % of deaths

I worded that badly, death rate outside of China

Death rate out of China is .5% if like H1N1 61 million Americans get it that's 305k dead

Wow even Blue Hill had 90 while HFD had 53

Field test obviously. Impaired driving is impaired whether alcohol weed or prescription drugs or illegal drugs.

Let's be real the big problems from people are people who can't control themselves. Often combining weed with alchohol. Maybe wrong but stoners who only smoke don't go into THC fueled rages, don't steal to support a habit,don't beat up people. Tend to be mellow,laid back and live accordingly. People who drink and get drunk, tend to be loud, prone to violence and destructive. I mean why exactly is the private consumption of weed so scary to folks. I just dont get it.

It does bother me how states are trying to keep people from growing small amounts so that big business growers corner the market. I would live to grow 4 or 5 plants, make some butter without risk

He does live in VT too ,practically the epicenter of weed. The amount of older people I know who use edibles for arthritis and aging pains is significant. Many of them would never inhale smoke. The strides made from Cbd to THC medically have made a huge positive influence on society.

What culture surrounds weed. You do realize everyone from Doctors to laymen are consumers. More often than not casual users know their limits and are recreational only. As with anything moderation is the key.

I rise at 5 am each morning bed 10 or 11. Some people need more sleep than others. A 30 minute power nap is really great to reenergize the day.

Is it meh? Mehing to jackpot meh or mehing to meh meh

First detected in Wuhan? Its all speculation but I know quite a few folks who had a nagging 3 week deep cough that was basically undiagnosed and not associated with the flu. Each person said they never had a cold last that long. I remember people posting here too about their experience. I have no idea but it is interesting

There has been a lot of speculation that the 3 to 4 week cold a lot where getting back in Nov Dec was possibly Covid. Unproven because no one was testing for it but it is possible it's been here for months.

Why the fund raising?
