I really need to stop by the grocery store on the way home from work for a couple of items. I tried on Monday and it was packed, shelves were empty, and two guys were arguing and about to come to blows over something...so I gave up.

Hoping it will be better today.

Typical neo-rapist behavior. Trying to "rescue" me. We women don't need to be rescued by rapists.

I can practically feel you undressing me with your eyes.

New analysis of coronavirus risk: Young adults are not invincible - STAT


Not sure if this has been posted but some new data from the CDC regarding stats on those needing hospitalization, ICU, etc.

The CDC does not have complete data (such as on use of an ICU) for all counted cases, and therefore gave a range for its estimates. More than raw numbers, the percent of total cases gives a sense of the risk to different age groups. For instance, just 1.6% to 2.5% of 123 infected people 19 and under were admitted to hospitals; none needed intensive care and none has died.

But of the 144 cases in people 85 and older, 31% to 71% were hospitalized and 6.3% to 29% needed intensive care. The death rate in that age group was 10% to 27%.

In contrast, among people 20 to 44, 14% to 21% of 705 cases were admitted to hospitals and 2% to 4% to ICUs; 0.1% to 0.2% died.

The rates for middle-aged people fell between these extremes, while 29% to 44% of patients 65 to 74 were hospitalized and 8% to 19% needed intensive care; 2.7% to 4.9% in this age group died.

Sadly, people seem to have a very poor understanding of how capitalism works and what it means to our country.

All these little protective mommies thinking things will be fine after barricading the family for 2 weeks, have quite the unpleasant surprise coming.

It's a petty thing for the President of the US to continually say. Call it a coronavirus. Call it COVID-19. Heck, even call it the Wuhan coronavirus if nobody can convince him otherwise since that's what it was known as for the most part till the name COVID-19 appeared.

Continually calling it the Chinese virus at this time is juvenile.

I feel like it would be juvenile if the Chinese hadn't behaved in such a malicious and dishonest way. But they've knowingly suppressed information and contributed to the death's of thousands. I imagine they wanted to take the west down with them when they realized how badly they were about to be hurt.

It is but it's still less inflammatory. The Wuhan coronavirus is what it was called for quite a while at the start by everyone in the world.

What benefit is there for him to continually say the Chinese or China virus? I'm sure it's personal for him as he thinks it somehow frees him from the stupid remarks he made initially, but nobody else in the world is better served by it.

I'd like to think it reminds people of where this and almost every single major epidemic this century has come from. China. I hope people might stop and start thinking why do all these viruses start in China? Maybe people will start thinking about why the US and others are dependent on China for things like pharmaceuticals and rare earth minerals? Maybe wonder why China, while knowing about this since December, didn't try and contain it and instead ignored it and allowed to spread world wide?

China has benefited from the civilized world basically looking the other way since the 1980's while they scramble to create their giant economy and become a world power at almost any cost.

This century:
China

Polio..It starts with Polio..wtf..

I'm afraid our future generations are going to bear the burden of our collective ignorance when it comes to China.
