    Actually, testing is everything
    the failure to get testing started early is why we are guessing now

    Now when we see cases spike we do not know if it is increased testing or increased cases

    Testing 4-6 weeks ago would make the experts jobs now easier
    That is true and I ought to have made myself clearer in that testing doesn't do that much for the symptomatic patient. It does help society as a whole.

    Lets be real people the majority from Singapore were recovered in 2 weeks after infection, and they dont have the greatest medical system there.

    This virus does show the major weakness in socialized medicine how quickly it was overwhelmed in most places.
    Actually Singapore has a very good medical system.

    Yes, exactly.

    Plus if something like the Black Plague hits, we'll be far more prepared.

    With the current overpopulation, that could easily happen in the next few decades.

    ... I don’t mean to cheer you up even more, but last year there was a typhus epidemic in downtown Los Angeles due to all the trash in the street. Not sure if it’s been cleaned up yet.

    I just hope that people learn from their mistakes and that the next generation growing up in this mess has a healthy respect for nature. : )

    Yeah BUT that typhus outbreak was mostly thanks to all the homeless living on the street ; not showering and otherwise letting themselves be infested with lice and mites. Which is where typhus comes from.

    New controlled clinical study conducted by doctors ​in France shows that Hydroxychloroquine cures 100% of coronavirus patients within 6 days of treatment.

    Very interesting, one study and it was not even single blind, but although it has side effects it is a pretty widely known drug for a very long time

    Won't that piss off the drug companies if it proves out.....

    The length will depend almost entirely on community response to the directives.
    This is not like the flu or a bad cold, though it is a respiratory infection. For example, the death rate is 10X that for the flu.
    No one knows especially, the young, on just how severe it will become for them.
    I worry about clubs closiing under orders. Maybe it's time for online eroticism,now that so many have to stay home.
    Please, everyone take care of themselves and keep healthy, so we can once again have fun together.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I keep seeing the aerial shots of all the springbreakers having fun on Florida beaches. I'm not sure what to think.

    I start to wonder if I'm overreacting.

    You're not. So far, five spring-breakers have tested positive for coronavirus.

    In a few weeks a lot of those idiots will be sick and some hospitalized, not to mention the elderly and immune compromised people they infect. Apparently they don't care if they sicken or kill their parents or grandparents. Also there are more young people being put into ICU care than first expected.

    We have all been under-reacting. I was stupid enough to still be eating out and socializing a couple weeks ago before I realized how serious it is. Just look at Italy, with so many bodies they had to call in their army to transport them to other areas to bury and cremate. Hospitals in New York are already being overrun and it's nowhere near at it's peak.

    If we had handled this right we would not be in this situation.



    "Goldman, who is also a nurse, says that Elmhurst Hospital and NYU’s Brooklyn campus are seeing their intensive care units filled with a share of patients under 40 years old they had not anticipated.

    “It’s not who we were expecting,” she says.


    Over half of all Covid-19 patients in New York are between 18 and 49, the state says."

    I'll admit that I underplayed this virus in the beginning. :-/

    I was too busy working and doing other stuff, that I was barely catching up on the news.

    Two registered veteran nurses told my best friend that it was just a cold and that ppl were blowing this out of proportion. >_<

    At least I'm not an asshole spreading shit around. Stay the fuck home.

    My cat, Jazz, requires a specific brand of prescription food. If he eats anything else, he could literally die. Apparently, I got the last bag last week because they've been sold out ever since. There's a notice now about long delays, etc. I do have some stored away, but it might not last.

    While other people were rushing for toilet paper, some had better priorities.
