Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[RavinDave]

Vaccine's almost always take at least a year. The contagion has to run a few cycles to even start the process of developing it.

Best bet is containment and symptomatic treatment. 3D printing ventilators is going to be huge factor.

First I had heard about using 3D printers to make ventilators. That could be a boon to alleviating that bottleneck to saving those most ill.

Well, I've been on a positive note since this virus started up. Now, I'm starting to feel depressed....just got back from Kroger a minute ago and there's nothing to buy. Everything is pretty much gone. I came home w/2 baking potatoes and a banana also some lunch meat.....all that cost was a little over $6.00 The stock clerks can't keep things on the shelves because people buy it all up whether they need it now or not. No milk or coffee cream.......lots of bread and chips & soda drinks galore.

It's a nice thought. but I imagine this would come up short, unless we are talking about going analog.

Try a small town store. I had completely different experiences in city versus small town stores.

We will have the election.

We’ll be getting paper ballots in the mail and also be able to vote online.

Fear of what the govt will do next.

Stores are going to have to limit the hoarding. Maybe no more than $200 worth of groceries on any one trip and no more than X amount of certain high demand items (tp, hand sanitizer, etc). I'm sure there are lots of a-holes in both of our neighborhoods sitting on enough supplies to survive for two years.

My wife was wanting some Campbell soup..........it was all gone.....except the kind for cooking.

We pretty much gave up on grocery stores for now and have just been taking advantage of the restaurants offering free delivery

I would hope so........this was like 9:15 am when I went early....surprised I found a parking spot.

My local Kroger is actually rationing TP.

As soon as you walk in the door they have posted a sign saying blah blah blah stuff that nobody reads because for now it's me first & screw all the others that come in behind me. This is a pretty good size Kroger that would serve at least 20,000 people in the area.

I agree that:

* current confirmed case will always be smaller than actual cases (but how would that not be true with every disease)
* many people have relatively mild symptoms (I have never said otherwise so stop projecting)

I disagree with:

* your prior statement that we would have 1,000s of cases in January (we would have clearly seen it)
* that people with mild symptoms are not counted in the total numbers (they absolutely are)
* Italy even has begun quarantining asymptomatic positive cases now in an effort to slow the spread

I also notice that:

You have provided zero proof of your assertions that there were large numbers of cases in January.

Where is that proof?

Im saying most with mild symptoms or no symptoms absolutely are not counted because they didn’t get tested, or even knew they had it. Why would they get tested?

I said we probably had thousands of cases in January. Given we werent testing, the majority of cases showing no or mild symptoms, where is your proof we didn’t?

Your throwing around confirmed cases like it’s gospel without addressing the FACT that we werent testing until recently. Given the FACT that most cases are mild and that asymptomatic people are not tested (why would they be or even know they had It)...Pray tell, what is so unreasonable about assuming we had cases in January and current confirmed cases are on the extreme low end of actual reality?

Your position seems to be it was here on the day we got our first confirmed case, which quite frankly, is stupid.

Hey Dems what does this mean and why is even there ?

I still love the nonsensical contradictory beliefs of:

It took 5 months to get from china to here.

I was in a different Kroger across town shopping for my mother Thursday and they had TP on the shelf but not much tho....they had some weird off-brand TP that nobody buys until like right now.
