That's my sons high school - evidently a senior at the school.

they have been closed since Tuesday. Online learning started today.

This Covid-19 is super easy to spread.

Holy CRAP

Right! Messed up.

I just spoke to one of my clients - he said the high death rate in china - especially with the men there - was smoking. Hopefully I don't smoke any more!

You mean to say: In China, men who smoked had a high fatality rate?

Precisely.

But- where is the testing. I don't feel sick, but my sense is probably every student in the school should be tested, and if they test positive, quarantine them. Yesterday my son was looking to go out for lunch with his HS friends from in town - and I was like - nope, you have got to be kidding.

Thanks. It's also known to effect the elderly & sick, so it's obviously generally effecting people with some sort of immune deficiency.

Male smokers. Wow. Just a wild guess: more men in China smoke then women, so it makes sense there too

I forget the stat, but I heard it on the last Joe Rogen Podcast. But I think the male smokers were people around the age of 50. I'm not clear about the mortality rates of men in China, but I'm sure it is low to begin with. Joe gets Looney from time to time, but it's a good podcast. Still not clear how the virus originated. I saw something about pangolins being ground up and eaten as herbal medicine as a possible cause. Everything is just theory at this point. I don't buy the conspiracy that this is a Chinese biological weapon gone out of control.

There is one Joe Rogan podcast with Michael Osterholm #1439. The guest is an epidemiologist/lawyer. Some very interesting info. Sheds some light on the statistics of it and possible outcomes as well as some other bits.

I saw that podcast — guy scared the sht out of me. The only great positive is that younger generation seems to have defense against it.

My sister's friends daughter was walking around Time Square earlier and a random guy punched her on the face and kicked her knees because of the Corona virus and also for being Asian. The guy just left and took off and no one helped her. 😥😡

Hopefully that’s the case. People need to stop acting like this is the apocalypse. The grocery stores have emptied.

The more I read about the 1918 flu the more it’s scary to look like this😞 it came in three waves with the second the worst. I think youre right— we’re gonna have a grace period from probably Late April early may to late august. But if it is similar they need to work fast to find protectionism’s.
Let’s pray to God for the positive side.

There could be supply disruptions in the coming months so I would stock up. All it takes is the trucks to stop delivering for a couple of days to empty the supermarket shelves. Agree we shouldnt panic, but I would plan for the long haul.

Yeah, it's pretty much from truck to cart where I'm at right now. Wish people use common sense. This is just the tip of the iceberg. You'll always be able to get water and toilet paper next week. No reason to buy it all at once. It's like people forgot how they responded during a typical flu season. I'm not comparing this strain to the typical influenza virus, but the protocol should be the same. Wash your hands, cover your month when you cough, be mindful of the elderly etc. This isn't the zombie apocalypse.

Lots of folks out there who arent in the best of health, elderly. It might not be the Zombie Apocalypse, but this is no joke to them. Not suggesting you feel that way. Reports from Japan say that some people are recovering with only 20-30 percent lung capacity. So its serious enough to socially isolate. Less trips for food.

I totally understand that precautions should be taken for the elderly and others that are vulnerable. But I don't get the sense that is what's happening. I think many people are overreacting. Yes, this is a situation that's out of our control. It means that we have to do better and control our emotions.
