Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[Stew Cook]

History says it will never go away. Isn't SARS and the other uncommon viruses of the last 2 decades still around and basically resting on the cupboard? Are they still contractible?

Ya got me... I'll add that list of things to lookup later.

He's outflanked a number of Democrats on the left, and it's working

This number will go to s**t if hospitals start running out of supplies and we start see images like are coming out of Italy here.

Mines saying the same.

Traveling out of state? Dang.

One of my co-workers can't come back to work for anther 8 days, but that's because he went on a Caribbean cruise with the family last week.

If you find no ways to treat this, the best you can do is beef up preparedness. If the second wave gets sicker because immunities weren't built up but you can brag about all the extra beds you built while flattening the first curve, then no it wasnt.

"Beefing up preparedness" largely means social distancing, which is already happening, and a vaccine, which in many ways depends on flattening the curve. Suggesting that people should go get sick in order to "beef up preparedness" is dumb

I’m going to Japan or Brazil either next month or in May. I know there isn’t a guarantee I’ll be able to go due to this crap, but I’m optimistic and if I’m allowed to go I will be going. Not letting this stupid ass virus control my life

Doesn't matter, and he doesn't need to. That wasn't the point of the post.

He intentionally tries to get under your skin and mine. He brings out the worst in both of us apparently. That is why I have him and only him on ignore. I have no idea what he has said to you, or if he has said anything to me in the last month or so..

I find it interesting to read up on. Maybe I will find time to do same. It makes me curious. At some point, after it's run it's outbreak course, I feel this will take the same path.

Why cant the people most at risk distance themselves? Why does everyone have to?

Because it's hard for old people to live alone in isolated areas, because grouping the old people together would result in disaster if one of them got infected, because it's harder for them to distance themselves if a higher percentage of the population is carrying the virus, probably a number of other reasons

I would also add that people in the US, due to our inherent sense of freedom since founding, are not accustomed to and find it difficult to practice distancing or any other activity that imparts a sense of closed society rule.

A student at our local small college just tested positive for the virus and they were sent home to wherever. The students are always at the local food store where we shop. The college is about a mile from here, and they are shutting down all residence halls, and they have until tomorrow to vacate. A large percentage of the student body is from New Jersey. It has been that way for as long as I can remember.

Why Central Planning Fails

Why do you even vote, to elect the people that try to make it fail?

Tusculum University in Greeneville TN. I live here most of the time. Avery County is where we have a place. I don't know what their situation is.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

As of Friday (today) : There's 154 Coronavirus cases statewide in TN. Consider ourselves lucky I guess...
