Chinese Rat Flu
Our county’s rate is high too but it means little since they’ve only given out 50 tests total.
Went to the grocery store today... supposed to be a 30 customer limit at one time. There were easily 100 people shopping. Half of them were shopping for 2 days, not 2 weeks. One elderly woman had on an N95 to buy one carton of orange juice. People are freakin idiots.

A good read. Uncertainty creates an alternative facts problem. The bottom line:
1. We need more data
2. The data might show extensive lockdowns and quarantines are not worth the costs
The problem is people are using the first argument to justify the second argument.
The limited serological testing we've seen so far suggests the widespread infection hypothesis is wrong but we desperately need randomized population testing before things can get back to normal.
We should not believe claims here and elsewhere that 80% of cases are asymptomatic. If Japan is in reality ahead of our timeline then hygienic discipline is the best thing going right now. Small behavioral changes like hand sanitizing, avoiding face touching, along with heightened awareness of door handles, revolving doors, and elevator buttons etc., masks too, coupled with North America's lower population density stand a good chance of overcoming our failed response.Last edited by MultiVerse; 03-27-2020 at 10:08 AM.

I'm right next door in Bronxville. Tight lockdown here, police out yelling at anyone that they need to stay inside (as they should). Chief of police says many people in our town have it including an 18 year old on a ventalator. I have a neighbor/friend who has it -- mid-40s and in good health.
Gimme five, I'm still alive!
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck!

So the elderly woman was the only intelligent one there wearing a mask?
I hope you let her in front of you in the line. Or offered to help in some other way.
Saw on the local news last night that many stores in NYC are taking the approach of, "No mask No gloves No entry"
Seems smart to me. Especially for an 85 yr old.

Try to wake up and get to markets at opening. Less crowds, better stocked.

Sorry, this thread moves quick.
From the Guvna....
Exceptions:
For outdoor activity. To engage in outdoor activity, provided the individuals comply with social distancing, as defined below, such as, by way of example and without limitation, walking, hiking, running, or biking. Individuals may go to public parks and open outdoor recreation areas, including public lands in Montana provided they remain open to recreation. Montanans are discouraged from outdoor recreation activities that pose enhanced risks of injury or could otherwise stress the ability of local first responders to address the COVID-19 emergency (e.g., backcountry skiing in a manner inconsistent with avalanche recommendations or in closed terrain).
Heading to the markets right now for a supply run, fresh veggies etc. I found a stash of slightly used N-95s from when I was drywalling and some dust masks as well. Gonna take one just to gauge the reactions.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Another reason to avoid getting sick ... you can't afford it.
The cost of hospitalization for someone privately insured with COVID-19 could top $20,000. If the patient needs a ventilator, the bill could average $88,000.

Some good news?
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...health-england
On Wednesday Prof Sharon Peacock, from Public Health England, told MPs on the science and technology committee that a home test to detect antibodies indicating somebody has had Covid-19 was being evaluated this week in Oxford to make sure it worked as well as is claimed and would be available next week. Government advisers later cautioned that the test might not be ready so quickly.
