  1. This is a great example of where we are at currently. This teacher, who actually got to be tested, probably has 15-20 kids in their class, all of whom have probably been exposed at this point. Those kids are going home to their parents, siblings and possibly grandparents, who now may also be exposed. So how many cases are there currently? We have a massive shortage of ICU beds and ventilators, by far less than what may potentially be needed. Add any craziness that will happen (see discussion on home self defense) and the system will get taxed even more.
  2. I agree about the media, for the most part. However, the hard part is not knowing truly how many people are currently infected. We are following the same curve on cases over time that Italy has, but we are a much larger country without the capacity to handle a proportionally larger number of cases, especially critical cases. Aggressive action to help prevent the spread is key, but in a calm and safe manner
  3. I have personal perspective as I am a physician. Even though the virus does not have proven cases in our area, we are still being cautious and appropriately so
  4. That is just cases and deaths we are aware of. Context is aways key. Presenting it this way is a great way to minimize the deaths of 5000+ people, with may more anticipated to come. To state an “infection rate” that way would indicate that everyone has already been exposed and “only” a small number became infected.
  5. America’s Best Comics 7? 🤞 In search of centerfold
  6. Not even sure why I bothered to make a narrow want list. 😂😂
  7. World War II, pedigree 9.8 with white pages? I couldn’t resist. Did just make a narrower want list earlier today, to maintain focus. My sticking to my list lasted a whole 6 hours 😂
