North Carolina goes into the heavy duty mandatory Stay-Home, Monday at 5pm.
No more than 10 at any gathering etc... it was 50 Probably what majority of states have already had enacted. Through April 28, until further notice otherwise. My brother runs a hospital in Rochester NY and they are overwhelmed. Also big problems with supply chain of basic essential supplies like masks and gloves. Whole different ballgame up there |

I have six siblings and thirty cousins that live in every state on the east coast from New York to Florida, and I myself in the Midwest along with a few in Texas and Oklahoma. Not a SINGLE one has contracted Covid-19 or know of anyone PERSONALLY who has. And this doesn't include the multitude of friends and aquaintancies that I have less frequent contact with. I also wonder why there is no mention of ethic mix when it comes to defining the most vulnerable. I'm sure that such a revelation would probably lead to more "racist" proclamations and such, but I think that would be vital in nailing down where our emphasis should be focused. |

Yep. We get those every year. "Letter of Access". I work for the city water system. We go through hurricane season every year. So, we stay with those. If you don`t show up for work during a hurricane, they say, stay home.

In Sweden they only test hospitalized, hospital personel and dead as the disease is spread uncontrolled in the society hence are the deathtoll numbers the only figures that counts. The key word we hear all the time is heard imunity.....
The numbers are as of 27/3 3046 infected, 92 deaths and 214 in intensive care. The worst area is Stockholm with 1300 infected and 60 deaths. The problem is that the Stockholm city people are still going to ski resorts up north or fleeing to their summer houses spreading the infection and adding stress to the medical resources in the small municipalities which makes the locals react. The business is good but if you get sick there will be less chance of getting help as the summer guests will also occupy the local hospital. The high schools and universities are closed but all other schools and kindergartens etc are still open. Crowds over 50 people are forbidden effective from 27/3 but with an exception for stores and workplaces etc. The general recommendation is that if you hav any symptoms of a cold or flu like a runny nose or soar throath you should stay at home from work or school. I was told that I was not welcome to work due to a runny nose and mild soar throath, no fever, and that I had to call in sick. You are welcome back when you have been symtom free for 48 hours. Been home for a week and a half now but should be fit to get back to work on Monday but I guess people will walk in wide circles around me or avoid me.

The flu kills thousands of people a year and and there is a known vaccine, that should worry everyone. Add in Covid 19 with no vaccine and this is what you get, the health care system stretched to it’s limits. I can only imagine how terrible it is dying from Covid 19, basically drowning on land gasping for air.
The beginning of March there were 50 cases of Covid 19 now there are over 100,00., hype I think not. Every major news source is reporting the same news even Fox News. Hopefully cases do not spike in late May as data

Thanks for adding to worthwhile data.
Both me and my wife work in healthcare, and she is dealing with COVID-19 patients every day! The V.A. hospital got the FIRST COVID-19 patient in Louisiana, and unless the patient has some rare contraindication to use hydroxychloroquine and azithromyacin, THOSE LONG USED, OFTEN PRESCRIBED, overall VERY safe record of use drugs are proving to be completely effective! Also, understand that the data is now being revised, especially the % of those who get infected with COVID-19, and the % of those who die. By testing for antibodies, and other testing parameters, the total number of people who have had COVID-19 can be estimated, and THAT is the critical data to determine how fatal it is. "influenza — known as the common flu — has infected as many as 45 million Americans since October and killed as many as 46,000, according to estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention." PERSPECTIVE! |

The stance that we shouldn't make a big deal about this ignores the pandemic aspect. There will be plenty of time for back study (forensic) data analysis after we are over the wave. Calling fellow Pontiac people "hysterical" is unbrotherly, demeaning, and exaggerated. Concern is not hysteria. It is great being "calm" about this. Being "intolerant" is another thing.

There should be NO comparison to the Flu!
Excerpt: Quote:
It would be like the model the Intelligence Committee got back in January, which made most of them sell all their Millions of dollars in stock before it became known. The rate of infections is logarithmic. From '5' when it's under control to over 120,000 cases now. (still under control ). These become 240,000 in couple days to 480,000, then 960,000, etc in week or so. (if no following the medical rules, 6' apart, unnecessary interactions,etc) These are documented actual cases not estimates based on a mathematical formula on estimates like the flu cases. It's the lackadaisical attitudes of many who think its not a problem so don't do anything to keep from spreading it around. Without massive testing to determine where the people are with it, it will keep on spreading.

The Irony
This thread is growing at the same rate as the Speculation about the Subject Matter.
If the actual Deaths that were reported in this country warranted the Speculation - perhaps it would be justified. 303 million folks live in the lower (48) states. I would wager the number of suicides directly related to the Response to this far exceed the Medical losses by the virus. The new drug & alcohol addicts created by the Response to this far outweigh the folks being treated. The Response is what is destroying our Country economically - socially - health-wise. Jim

Calm down, people - this is a place for discussion of the issue. Don't turn it into an argument about whether it's is a big deal or not, or if it's some country's fault or not, or if there's a government coverup, or any of that kind of stuff or I'll have to close the thread.
Thank you. |

The "bird" flu was going to kill everybody, there was no quarantine, or mandatory shutdowns, and now you hear nothing about it. The "swine" flu was going to kill everybody, there was no quarantine, or mandatory shutdowns, and now you hear nothing about it. One of the worst things about this disease that's going to kill everybody, is it's setting a blueprint for every other coming disease that's going to kill everybody. We can expect widespread panic, hoarding, mandatory shutdowns, quarantine, government handouts, next time somebody sneezes.

Hysterical cmon everything I said was fact, look at the numbers. Is President Trump being hysterical when he said in his press conference, 100,000 may die at the end of this. Dr Fauci estimates 100,000 to 200,000 may lose their lives when it is said and done. I keep seeing people trying to downplay this but this is serious. The flu is bad and this has the potential to be worse just ask the President. POTUS also said June 1st is when things might return to normal, just like I have heard. People need to listen and stay home, we are all in this together. Time to panic no, time to take this serious and think of others yes.

I think it was an interesting point about the suicides from the shut down could in the end out weigh the deaths from the virus.
I will say I am eating more and drinking a lot more in my garage with my neighbor! |
