  1. Correct. Degree is O.D. But have spent years working on major national projects with public health implications.
  2. Common sense and the pattern throughout every country so far. Keeping your head in the sand won’t protect you.
  3. We’re going to have to depend on state leadership and unfortunately that is very uneven across the country. Defer retirement? First goal is to make it in one piece to the retirement date!
  4. There are many symptomatic people who are getting denied. We don’t have enough tests. Leadership has been focused on the politics vs the public health. The actual number of infected people is probably way more than currently known. This is going to be the biggest public health issue in 100 years or more.
  5. It’s why our country is behind the 8 ball on this. The Israelis and Palestinians are cooperating over there regarding Coronavirus but we can’t.
  6. Don’t kill the messenger but eps setting is up for one last dance late month.
  7. Also anecdotal is that guy (tweeter not necessarily the guy on the vid) is quite the right winger.
  8. Anecdotal reports. Still wide variety of presentations and courses which is what is so concerning.
  9. Think of Citi Field on a May evening with game time temperatures of 47 with drizzle.
  10. I hope that came out of the laundry and isn’t a re use!
  11. As the virus mutated, it spread faster and faster. Initially it was slower in the very early days.
  12. The workers who often don’t get paid sick leave are the people serving you in restaurants, cleaning houses, providing all kinds of personal services. The chickens of the elevation of the almighty dollar at the expense of many workers for the past 40 years are coming home to roost.
  13. Other masks will protect if worn properly in a high risk environment. Don’t sell this thing short. Personally, as a man in my 70s working in a hospital I’m ultra cautious. I had pneumonia as a child and the rare times I get a virus settling in my lungs I get pretty sick. Overall I consider myself healthy but not stupid. That said...I’m not wearing a mask.....yet. Avoiding flying wouldn’t be a bad idea.
  14. This is the biggest world wide (including the USA) threat in any of our life times.
  15. I had the flu 2 years ago and went in to be tested in the early stages. There were no masks to be found but doctors in the office wore them to protect themselves. I thnk there’s a lot of misinformation regarding masks. If you’re in an area with sick people and you have no choice but to be there....I think masks can be protective, particularly N95 masks.
  16. So looks like another week with reasonable readings at BOS. Fixed?
  17. Driving up to northern VT via 89 Thursday returning yesterday. I had been there on the same route 2 weeks earlier. Snow line advanced 50 miles north in that time...now just beyond Concord.
  18. For a small subset of people. It’s almost impossible to know who though....
  19. I bet you eat cold hot dogs....
