Listened to an interesting piece on NPR this AM on my one hour trip to the grocery with on-line ordering & remote pickup
https://www.npr.org/2020/03/28/82307...ial-distancing
4 minute listen. TLL = Cities who shut down harder and longer in 1918 did better economically

One big lesson: You can’t give up early on social distancing.

That would be very hard to sort out right now - it would mean finding people who have currently have zero symptoms, swabbing them, taking the people that swabbed positive, tracking them, then taking the people who remained symptom free (didn't start showing symptoms a couple days later), following them to make sure they never picked up virus from others and then became infected, and finally checking to see if they developed immunity through antibody testing.
This may be information that is available in the future but right now is not ( I don't believe) - so hard to make any firm statements.
It's possible that someone could have covid virus in their nose/throat and not show symptoms and not get the disease and not develop immunity from that - but that would suggest a very low load of virus in there (that never takes hold) and that person would be very unlikely to be overly contagious to others (my opinion). But the lack of exposure of the virus to their immune system would mean that technically yes - they had covid in their body but did not develop immunity.
My armchair epidentist call is that true asymptomatic covid spreaders are likely developing a degree of immunity for themselves. Our immune systems are very complicated and "immunity" is not a all or nothing position nor is it static - so that complicates answers further.

I was kind of proud of myself taking a shower and shaving.
Take it from a retired person. No drinking until 5pm. You'll thank me.

While I agree that commies gonna commie, the numbers are bigger than that. China on the whole had a death rate in 2018 of 7.13/1000. Wuhan has 11 million people. That's just short of 215 deaths/day in Wuhan city. 10,000 urns would be less than a 2-month supply for Wuhan or less than a 2-week supply for the province (59M population) under normal circumstances.

The same dipshit that said this:
"Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president."
then went on to say this:
"This whatever they want to call it. You call it a germ, you can call it a flu, you can call it a virus. You know, you can call it many different names. I'm not sure anybody even knows what it is, but the children do very well."
The emperor has no brains.

The Army Corps of Engineers said on Friday it was aiming to provide facilities for 3,000 people with the coronavirus at Chicago's McCormick Place convention center by April 24 for about $75 million.
