Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Two more deaths reported.
One in Louisiana and another in NYC.
Total US cases: 2500+
Total US deaths: 52

 

Dining in for a Taco Bell? I don't know. The levels of dejection I've seen on the faces of those who choose to dine-in at a laxative factory have never inspired me with great faith in the human race (I have not physically been in one in at least 20 years, and it was never my choice). This may be a net-positive for society.

 

Here is the problem with how we have handled it to date (and I say this as someone who has largely supported the closings etc).
Let’s say we get this under control, cases drop, we go back to work, and then it blows up in Africa or SA and makes its way back here again.
Do we go through all of this again?

 

Well said.

 

Unfortunately yes until a vaccine is developed

 

Not if this exercise teaches us anything. Personally, I've learned nothing. As soon is this is over I'm going to stop washing my hands and start touching other people's faces. It's unfortunate that I haven't had toilet paper during this time.

 

Its unfortunate that anyone dies from a virus, but, so far, most of the population will probably spread it unknowingly, be hardly affected, and potentially put those 'at risk' folks in jeopardy.

Just my 2 cents on this:

Stores need to start putting limits on the amount of items customers can buy. No one needs multiple cases of hand sanitizers. Who needs 4 massive packages of toilet paper from Costco? People lined up at 8AM at Costco which opens at 10. Nutz. For Gods sake, production hasn't stopped in the United States. Now the old people can't even get anything because of the panic and greed.

Had a lady come in to the store yesterday saying “at least it’s not in our county yet.” I thought to myself “it is but the government isn’t testing so people like you don’t freak out.”

 

Six degrees from Kevin Bacon applies to this virus.

South Korea’s biggest weapon has been testing. When we get it under control if it’s reintroduced testing will be much easier to obtain and results will return much quicker.

 

18 new cases in Teaneck NJ. Mayor said those infected had been moving around freely for weeks.

 

I can connect myself to Kevin Bacon in three (maybe fewer?) steps. I can connect myself to coronavirus in two. Since Tom Hanks was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon, Kevin has the closer connection.

 

Meanwhile, in Chicago.......

 

I think they are updating throughout each day. The caption has a time/date stamp. Revisions downward would be an outcome of state/local, CDC numbers revisions. For example false positive tests would make for a downward revision.

 

. Not a big conspiracy guy but maybe China did make it. Codename: idiocracy virus. Doesn’t kill dumbasses

 

How many of this board’s political leaders and visionaries voted for this moron? Yes, we need you guiding America’s future.

If you really think the President was not tested before today you are backing up.
