Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

What is lost here is flattening the curve is delaying the healthy and not at risk from getting it, extending the threat timeline for those that are at risk.

From the beginning, this should have been strict quarantine for at risk and their caretakers, and limited social distancing for everyone else. The blanket social distancing order and shutting down the economy in order to carpet bomb our way to a flatter curve will definitely cause more damage economically, and possibly more damage medically, long term. The fastest and safest way to get 80% of the healthy population infected and immune should be the goal.

I’m not an expert and will freely admit that, but that seems reasonable and there are epidemiologists that agree.

Exactly. What we're doing right now is just drawing this thing out. Ultimately I think the approach you stated is the one most states will begin using come May 1st. Some may start doing it before that date.

My question is , when we get it “under control “ in the hot spots , then the rest of the country and those hot spots pop up again ( and they will ) along the borders . What will we do ?

Then I'll stick with the opinion that it would be great to get younger, less at risk people, immunized now.

What age group?

Watch: Islamic Scholar Decries Poor Toilet Habits of ‘Impure’ Westerners

Jordanian Islamic scholar Ahmad al-Shahrouri has scolded people living in the West for their “lack of purity and cleanliness” in the age of coronavirus.

He says those living beyond the reach of Islam are more prone to diseases like the coronavirus because they do not wash their behinds with water after using the restroom like Muslims do.

“They have currently run out of toilet paper in their markets because they do not use water,” al-Shahrouri told Jordan’s Yarmouk TV on March 29, as translated by the Middle East Media Reserch Institute (MEMRI).

He added: “They are plagued by these diseases, these microbes and these viruses because they do not clean their filth enough.”

Recalling a time when his “head almost exploded” from the “stench” of two Westerners he sat between on a plane, Al-Shahrouri said Muslims should praise Allah for requiring them to perform ablution, according to MEMRI.

Is that so? Lemme' tell you something, AHKK!mad.

As Forrest Gump would say "If Ah wanted to fahnd moah cousin-marrying than in yoah neck of the woods, Ah'd have to go back to GREENBOW, ALABAMA!!"

Drawing it out was the whole point.

I've was on the 50 and younger/healthy staying active, from early on.

Learn from previous outbreaks. Local lockdowns. Better treatments. Shift resources where they are needed.

This really should have been our approach.

 

[NCFisher]

How do you build herd immunity when people are staying away from each other?

There's an app for that.

 

[allvol123]

Agreed. I've yet to understand why we havent even seen a movement to switch to it now.

That’s like 70% of the country. Even a very low level of hospitalization for that population causes chaos. And that’s most everyone that the elderly relies on.

 

[TennTradition]

I know this is (possibly) a private sector company, but this is still concerning that they would have this information...

We can clearly tell how it would benefit government, but what commercial benefit would there be in having this information?

Here’s one example. We subscribe to a company that uses satellite data and cell phones to track how busy restaurants are, malls, Wal Marts, drug stores etc. See a surge at Walgreens. Flu season is possibly early. For example.

You can lay correlations over various malls and track via cellphones what zip codes those phones return to at night. That gives you data about the average income of who is visiting the mall. Trends in that can give you an understanding of anything from disposable income to where you might want to make investments as an equity investor.

Politicians are too afraid to recommend it.

I know. I know. First reaction is to believe we are to stupid or ignorant to perform that at a high level.

Good grief.

Di Blasio wasn’t. I assume his approval rating is through the roof right now?

I don’t understand what you are saying.

Cautiously optimistic here...bureaucrats that’ve been head cheese since ‘84 and who are aligned with billionaire vaccine manufacturers give me pause to consider other angles and agendas.

Hoping for the best.

I guess that was more of a rhetorical question. But it just seems like the info is too intrusive.

He's out the door anyway. No body liked him before. No one likes him now.
A sad attempt to secure the high ground in the debate.

It's over, Panickan. I have the high ground.

Most NYC Covid-19 Cases Came From Europe, Genome Researchers Say

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

That was evident in the first genome sequencing in early March. Is someone trying to say otherwise?

 

[NCFisher]

Pretty obvious their data was likely manipulated in some way and I certainly wouldn’t have endorsed it’s accuracy like that, but I’m not really sure what options they had other than to use the data available.

It was that they didn't qualify it, really, at all. Fauci dismissed the possibility under heavy pressure by Ingraham.

The high ground being that this virus was no big deal?

"That's everyone the elderly relies on"

It is so lazy.
