  1. I do think the USA death toll goes over 100,000. I hope I am wrong.
  2. Hopefully not because a lot more will die. Also, flu shot ahead of that one blunted symptoms most likely. No shot for this one. More contagious also.
  3. Answer to second question is yes but transferring all now.
  4. That was bad but we were prepared. We hopefully will be when it hits the fan very soon. Google estimate of actual cases in the USA and you will come up with some good articles. My copy and paste function isn’t working on this broken down iPad.
  5. Correct. Degree is O.D. But have spent years working on major national projects with public health implications.
  6. Common sense and the pattern throughout every country so far. Keeping your head in the sand won’t protect you.
  7. 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!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Don’t kill the messenger but eps setting is up for one last dance late month.
  11. Also anecdotal is that guy (tweeter not necessarily the guy on the vid) is quite the right winger.
  12. Anecdotal reports. Still wide variety of presentations and courses which is what is so concerning.
  13. Think of Citi Field on a May evening with game time temperatures of 47 with drizzle.
  14. I hope that came out of the laundry and isn’t a re use!
  15. As the virus mutated, it spread faster and faster. Initially it was slower in the very early days.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. This is the biggest world wide (including the USA) threat in any of our life times.
  19. 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.
