Keep in mind..it isn't the life of a few...and it isn't only the old. Doctors and nurses are at extremely high risk of death during pandemics because of the extreme stress and amount of viral load they come in contact with...America will have 2 million deaths if nothing is done, 1 million deaths if you isolate the old and vulnerable...and maybe half that if you isolate during the peak and then play a careful dance until the middle of next year.
I think the death estimates have come down a lot due to the steps that have been taken. We'll see. New York is going to get really ugly over the next week or two then this thing is going to drag out for months.
I don't believe that anybody has found that surfaces in public buildings that you don't touch with your hands are a significant source of infection. Hopefully people are maintaining the physical distance in the subway and buses and using the hell out of hand sanitizer if they have to touch anything.
It's good news but it will be a couple of weeks of horrible fatality rates yet I'm afraid for them. Then they'll have to very careful to keep the thing from taking off again.
As Kelly Bundy would say, you would be on the horns of an enema. You might try two condoms instead of one. I would check with CDC, though.
I was stunned by NYs local government, when Nebraska schools were shuttered, ncaa activities, pro sports etc,all shut down, yet they still had bars open, schools open etc.
This. Plus, the virus on surfaces out in open outdoor spaces are unlikely to survive for very long due to UV. I'm all about mitigation, but some actions are futile. For example, the pictures of trucks in the streets of South Korea spraying disinfectant on the roads was probably all for naught. Although it did achieve a display to tell citizens they were taking proactive measures.
Those subways are, people out,people in. Very little time between potential contact areas.
Are those hot wax burns?

Is that one of your ex-wives? She could probaby socially influence me.

We're still early in, and everyones going to get help. Riots are only exposing oneself towards infection.
I doubt there will be any widespread retrospective serologic studies done to determine exposure rates. In some areas that may and should be true just for educational purposes. I think you could maybe go to your Dr at some point and request an antibody test but you would likely pay for it entirely out of your own pocket.
Stop. It is not the flu and this is not just media hype. Entire cities are shutdown, economies crippled. It’s not because of sensationalized media, it’s because of the advice of every leading expert in the field. Why can’t we just listen to the experts and stop pretending like it’s less than it is, just because we want it to be.
Oh goody, another person with a PhD in molecular biology to discuss this paper with on the board.
all those things are shutdown/crippled due to decisions made by elected people, not by experts.
.Someone step on your wee? PS4 offWhat is it with you and commas?? LMFAO!! I clearly wasn't an English major but damn man you just stick them anywhere!You obviously love them but don't have a clue how to use them (that info is readily available via Google my friend). I guess I'm not surprised after seeing your math skills awhile back. Maybe just don't use them at all, that would look better than such blatant over-usage. But hey, you do you
The CDC isn’t saying it’s the same as the flu, you are. Which is complete nonsense.
Yes it sucks financially that we are stuck in this global pandemic, but that doesn’t mean we should pretend like it’s not happening.
