Trump says he's been taking hydroxychloroquine for "about a week and a half" as a preventative measure against the coronavirus,


good follow up

bodes well for delivery and short shopping visits

doesn't bode well for the concert industry, unless we do 3 song shows and forbid sing-a-longs (which might be welcomed by some)

but as the article stated more than once, we have no data and have no idea if this is the case…all anecdotal

I read that a week or two ago and until now though the author, "Erin" was a woman.

Plus, what Hatch said. Plane rides and Metro rides seem like a bad idea. Maybe school too.

The state of Georgia made it look like its covid cases were going down ***by putting the dates out of order on its chart*** May 5 was followed by April 25, then back to May again, whatever made it look like a downslope.

Let’s face it…over 50% of covid deaths have happened in four states located in the northeast: NY, NJ, MA, PA…four typically Democratic voting states


It’s a very unfortunate reality with widespread political impact in our very divided nation….

If more people were dropping dead in other regions and states things might be different…not wishing it to happen

Very interesting

They concluded that k for COVID-19 is somewhat higher than for SARS and MERS. That seems about right, says Gabriel Leung, a modeler at the University of Hong Kong. “I don’t think this is quite like SARS or MERS, where we observed very large superspreading clusters,” Leung says. “But we are certainly seeing a lot of concentrated clusters where a small proportion of people are responsible for a large proportion of infections.” But in a recent preprint, Adam Kucharski of LSHTM estimated that k for COVID-19 is as low as 0.1. “Probably about 10% of cases lead to 80% of the spread,” Kucharski says.

Oh, see, I thought you were suggesting he wear one so he cannot get within 6 feet of a massage therapist. MY MISTAKE.

well schools are run by the state gov't and churches are private orgs

I'm really not a big fan of any organized religion* …so this might be a way to get less churches?

*The Church of the Subgenius is not organized!
