wear a mask when you go in public, it can even be improvised

keep social distancing as much as possible, even with the mask

check your temps regularly

mask wearing? for the next several months, if not longer. or until you catch the bug.

social distancing? will probably be relaxed in proportion to mask wearing and testing capacity.

if you're 65 and older, you'll probably want to be staying home as much as possible at least until July. maybe longer.

You are a trip. There are very few silver bullets in real life. Most solutions are a combination of synergistic, complimentary steps. That drug combination could be one of them. Be glad.

OK. Thanks.

So if I do all of that, do I have to continue to read your posts telling everyone what to do?

Or is that like public TV used to be ... you had to listen to the sales speeches even if you donated ...

What's the movie where that guy won't leave the house because the sun is going to melt him instantly (in his head). I get in this thread and picture it over and over again.

My sister works for Landry's corporate. She was at a Willie G's today volunteering to serve free food to the laid off workers.

4 gunmen came in. One got killed by the cops. My sister is fine.

Make sure you're carrying right now.

No. We can't do anything we want right now. How about people that are concerned stay the **** home in their 'shelter at home' and the rest of us get on with our lives and work to help rebuild the economy?

We don't live in a bubble. We take an intrinsic risk every time we step outside that something may happen to us that is out of our control. This is no different. Take the precautions you deem necessary for you and yours and I'll do the same for mine.

1,100 deaths in France now.

673 in the US.

Death rate in confirmed cases at 4.5% worldwide.

Complete garbage statistic. Wish we would just stop trying to calculate it. We'll be lucky if we get the number of deaths within a factor of 10 of being correct, and # of confirmed cases is completely meaningless.

What does that stat even mean? Could you explain that further?

I will help.

It is a bungled up number that has no value except to make the doomers feel superior to us simpletons.

I am not a math expert, but I googled fractions and percentages. As such, my conclusion is that you can not have an accurate death rate without an accurate infection rate. That is what I have deduced.

But as I said, I am just a simpleton.

During outbreaks there's lots of ways people track numbers.

One is deaths / known cases

One is deaths / closed cases

Neither is likely to be a very good approximation of the final infection fatality ratio.

I had no idea there are so many cases who test positive despite being asymptomatic and are therefore potentially contagious. Yet another reason for mass testing regardless of symptoms. This is a very clever pathogen. Does US data bear this report out, too?

Lots of sources of error. False positives, false negatives.. asmyptomatics, pauci-symptomatics... PRE-symptomatics...

There are a lot of diseases that have low or no-symptom carriers. Ebola, even. Flu some years is as high as 50%. Lots of bacterial illnesses too.

This is why a few on this thread were pushing for mass testing that is just now getting up to speed. The more testing, the better idea of who is carrying it (especially those asymptomatic cases) then you can contract trace.

We need to get antibody test rolling fast so we can determine who already had it and can get them back working.

Not saying that is even close to the actual mortality rate.

However, it is worth considering that testing has become a lot more widespread in the past week. Last week, 3.7% of confirmed cases were fatal. Now it is up to 4.5% of confirmed cases.

The true mortality rate is far lower. But it is apparent that countries with overrun hospital systems (Spain, France, Italy) are seeing a spike in the mortality rate.

4 gunmen went into Willie G's? Just asking because I right next door but not at the office today. Haven't seen anything on the news yet - that's just crazy!

There are a number of considerations that must be taken intro account, not just the overwhelming of hospitals.

Maybe so.

Regardless, If they can catch people before they need O2 and keep the hospitals more clear, isn't that a really great thing?

Let's at least take a moment to take some good news.
