    David Geffen seems to be happy.... .... https://www.tmz.com/2020/03/28/david...gram-backlash/ Don't worry about David Geffen, the multi-billionaire is staying as far away from the coronavirus as possible aboard his personal escape raft ... that just happens to be a $590 million yacht.

    Yes, the media mogul is aboard the "Rising Sun" cruising the Caribbean Sea, where, unfortunately for him, he has WiFi, and decided to drop a pretty tone-deaf anecdote to the world ... considering the pandemic and all.

    Geffen posted a glorious wide-shot of his vessel with the caption, "Isolated in the Grenadines avoiding the virus. I'm hoping everybody is staying safe.
    what's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?

They stop a huge fraction of particles, especially the largest/most dangerous ones, from flying out into the air around you. Effectiveness is a spectrum and this is dynamic, so do what you can and improve as you go.
    Was waiting to respond in case someone brought up ski masks . . . until surgical masks become available either through industry or homemade, we've been doubling up and scrunching our ski buffs - think it's better than nothing!

    Great idea. If we lock down New York, we will contain 30% of this city virus and the rest of America can get back to normal. That would be a real punch in the gut of this virus that is everywhere. If we all assume only this could happen in NYC, then we will be fine. Just fine. We all know what a cesspool the city is
    Amright?

    Bifurcated society. My sister, who has some disabilities, and her husband, a few days ago were exhibiting low level symptoms. She wanted to get tested for Covid19 but was told "No. Unless you need hospitalization" (or something like that). Then last night I hear this 'breaking sports report'.

    Absolutely. Except Coumo will pout and rant and rage and threaten to sue you.

    https://www.newsweek.com/cuba-drug-f...ctions-1493872. Maybe Bernie was right about Cuba. ......
    Cuba has mobilized its medical corps around the world to distribute a new "wonder drug" that officials there say is capable of treating the new coronavirus despite the United States' strict sanctions that continue to pressure the communist-run island.

    The drug, called Interferon Alpha-2B Recombinant (IFNrec), is jointly developed by scientists from Cuba and China, where the coronavirus COVID-19 disease outbreak first emerged late last year. Already active in China since January, the Cuban Medical Brigades began deploying to dozens of nations, providing personnel and products such as its new anti-viral drug to battle the disease that has exceeded 400,000 confirmed cases across the globe. As of Tuesday, over 100,000 people have recovered from the infection and more than 18,000 have die. .............. Can't be worse than the damage that our Orange Idiot in Chief has already done...

    No. Why do you think the states of Florida and Rhode Island are taking names and telling fleeing New Yorkers they have to quarantine themselves for 14 days. Sure the virus is already there but fleeing populations spread it further and complicate efforts at containment.

    Do you really think "A strong travel advisory" is going to stop anyone from NYC from fleeing if they have the means?

    Vermont's first C19 case was from someone from NYC fleeing to their summer cabin.

    Been wearing the buff out for two weeks now. Luckily it had been pretty cool out so not too warm.

    Do you actually think that nobody, I mean nobody who was travelling in and out of the state in February to ski hills, from many places, didnt bring the virus before the people supposedly "fleeing" came?

    Breaking news: according to Governor Cuomo, "Upstate New York" is the entire state except NYC, Long Island and Westchester County.

    It’s kinda been like that forever if you live anywhere south of Westchester.
    We could also get into the nuances of where ‘upstate’ ends, the leather stocking begins, and what exactly is Central NY...

    My wife was showing me this a couple days ago and said "and he sent a drone out to photograph his yacht." I responded "What drone? That's from his helicopter!"

    Do you actually think the amount of influx doesn't matter? Math isn't this hard.

    IFN-Alpha 2b's aren't a new discovery. They've been around for a long time and people have been trying to use them for a lot of different types of viral infections.

    I'd be shocked if they haven't started to look at them as a treatment option in the US already.

    Not to be chicken little, but is anyone else concerned about food shortages as factories, manufacturers, farms, bakeries, meat processing plants, and all other parts of the supply chain get disrupted?

    and what do you think the effect of telling the tri-state area that they could be locked down in a few days might be?

    It works on genital warts so should be effective for some of the pricks in this thread. (Not you).
