They'll get better defined as people recover. It sounds like it takes 3-4 weeks to recover even for the milder cases. When I say recover I mean test negative for the virus.Kinda goes both ways.
On the one hand, there's unresolved and undiagnosed patients that will eventually test positive and will either recover or not...
Then there's people that probably have it, had it, never got diagnosed and recovered just fine.
The math nerds will have figure the +\- out... But none of these numbers are gonna ever be all inclusive... And most won't have context about things that probably do matter.
Yeah.. Speaking of concerts.. We have tickets to go see the revivalists in Wilmington NC next month. They've already rescheduled all their March shows... And it appears many venues are going to stay closed... So I'm expecting that to at least get postponed.On a side note - one hell of a year for Rage to finally decide to get back for a tour. Woof.
At some point the consequences of social isolation will outweigh the consequences of the virus. It’s just a factor of time.
Depression, suicide, economic recession, and other unforeseen negative consequences are all in play. Yes, it will get worse. Yes, use caution. Yes, flatten the curve. Yes, take measures to protect the vulnerable population. But why is there not this same level of action for other issues? Let’s compare death totals for this year so far.
COVID19: 12,955 (total, not just 2020)
Suicide: 236,585
HIV/AIDS: 370,882
Cancer: 1,811,962
Abortions: 9,376,882
So let’s say that the fatalities continue to pile up for this virus. They will, but they won’t catch up to any of the above. For those saying not to compare it to the flu, remember that there was also not a vaccine for the swine flu when it popped onto the scene. In the time it was a pandemic it killed somewhere between 151,700 and 575,400 people according to the CDC. I would say this ends up in this same range for the first year. No, they’re not the same thing, but they were both pandemics yet the responses have been entirely different.
Put me in the crowd of starting to loosen restrictions here in about 2 weeks. Otherwise, I fear the other consequences will be worse.
For sure postponed imo. It's going to be a total mess for everyone touring. I mean, let's say the venues re-open in May...the bands that had shows in March/April will now want to reschedule for May, June, etc, and we're talking 30-40 venues per tour, depending on the size of the band's tour schedule. But other bands will already be locked in those months and eager to get back to playing for all involved. So do bands that had shows for March/April get pushed to the back of the line, well into the Fall? As meticulously as tours are orchestrated to be efficiently traveled, it's going to be controlled chaos reworking everything. Crazy times for all in the music industry.Yeah.. Speaking of concerts.. We have tickets to go see the revivalists in Wilmington NC next month. They've already rescheduled all their March shows... And it appears many venues are going to stay closed... So I'm expecting that to at least get postponed.
Already had a hornets game we have tickets for postponed...
So... We'll see...

Smooth Ambler here in WV did the same earlier this week.Old Glory Distilling Company switching from whiskey to hand sanitizer | ClarksvilleNow.com
Go buy Old Glory spirits before they close the liquor stores. I have had the vodka, gin, and moonshine. I hate vodka but their's is fantastic.
It was 39 degrees this morning in Dallas. I couldn't believe it. Must just be a freak weather pattern. We've had probably 10 inches of rain in the past two weeks also. Way out of the norm for this area.I agree. I was thinking mid April with businesses. It will be 81 here next week, so I hope the warm weather is coming. But it will probably be longer for mass gatherings.
I’ve read several things that said Swine Flu is both deadlier and more contagious than COVID19. The difference is that symptoms of Swine Flu are acute and manifest quickly, allowing sufferers to be quarantined quickly and thereby containing the outbreak. People infected with COVID-19 can remain asymptomatic for days or weeks, potentially spreading the virus to everyone they come in contact with.
I’m of the mind that the entities that have taken unprecedented measures to slow this outbreak have done so based on significant deliberation and analysis. Surely, the long term economic and psychological impacts of the precautions has been considered, and so far the risk of infection still outweighs the precautionary risks. The fact that entities on all sides of the political aisle have embraced the precautions speaks volumes to me. Also, it is becoming evident the entities that resisted precautionary advice at first are now presenting higher numbers of cases.
We’re at the point where numbers in some states have doubled in the last 24-48 hours. Numbers of cases would have to level off or begin to decline before any of the preventative measures in place would be lifted.
