The point is the hospitals can probably handle a reasonable increase now capacity has been built in and it is not exponentially increasing. Regarding leaving your house and doing stuff now ...."You pays your money and you takes your chances"

@Spice Yep he is actually correct (measured risk vs. healing the economy) but again people with agendas seem to want to steer the conversation to the narrative they want.

@Rick Yea it's amazing what misinformation is out there. It's almost like its deliberately dumbed down to get compliance with the order.

@Rick - The sequestration of the populace has not been about waiting for it to go away or avoiding getting the virus over the entire length of the pandemic. It's simply to avoid overwhelming the health system causing high death rates for anyone needing critical care (of any type). Now that time allowed excess capacity to be built into the health care system measured risks can be taken to open up the economy once it's been established the curve has flattened. People will continue to get sick while we open back up unless there is a sudden surge that threatens the system again.

The present antibody tests are notorious for false positives a significant percentage of the time. So, at this time they are not a reliable source of data on "who had it / is immune to it".

shailynnThey never tell you what you need to know.
I watched Brady in the stadium during his entire college career. While initially not impressed with his athletics I was completely impressed with his presence of mind and decision making. At U of M He reminded me of Brian Greasy except an even better sense of the game. I am biased on this one but but TB has to be in the short list. I am in an awkward spot where I agree with Rick Dugan.

I bought some beaten down oil stocks and a couple REITs that are more focused on government income or more stable commercial enterprises.
The market is incredibly high variance and its guessing game on what is a value.
On that note I was highly entertained by Elon Musk telling the world the Tesla was overvalued 🤪

I had a conversation tonight with someone dead center in the medical field dealing with the infected. The hospitals have been filling up with serious cases but fortunately as planned things are leveling off. From his hospital 48% of the patients that go on respirators don't make it (interestingly this is actually better than I have heard in general). The lockdown is working but of course at a terrible economic price. But nonetheless the epidemiologists there recognize this as the threat that it is. People can argue the R0 (R naught) but it is considered to be a 5.7 in the medical community. That is a relative measure of contagion. which is pretty high The doctors in this institution feel we will get a resurgence in the fall which in there opinion will be probably worse. Citizen fatigue for following the social distancing is already manifesting.
This is just a conversation with someone on the front line. If there is anyone with facts from front line epidemiologists please share some feedback.
I would personally love for them to be wrong and this thing to just fade out so we can all get back to normal. This sucks balls in a bad way.

Ski...well if your life is all about words, politics and "wiinning arguments" then I guess this is just another "us vs. them" debate.
Highly concentrated populations are typically blue due to the more co-dependent relationship of the population with government. Those populations, especially the less affluent are disproportionally at risk. For the record I am not "them" but I take an objective scientific view of the situation and I choose to use and follow reason.
When a few thousand people died in early 2000 and we went to war (which I agree with) it cost the US a heavy toll in $ and lives. We did that to prevent and discourage future attacks. How that all played out of course can be second guessed just like this situation.
It takes balls to confront a national threat. Ignoring it is irresponsible and reckless.

^^^pathetic and boring osu. I am 2 seconds to midnight on checking out on this discussion board. Losers are results oriented so when things are going better they validate their flawed position. When heads come up 3x out of 4 coin flips doesn't make the conclusion of head>tails correct.

"What about the children?" You clearly don't care or have a clue on the practical measures associated with this transient event.
It's funny how people have to shade it with their own personal

Sorry for my harsh post but it is exactly why the measures are in place. If you break the back of the healthcare system then you get the disaster in Italy, etc

I live in Michigan which has been pretty badly hit. California always seems like it is pushed and pulled by crazy politics so I understand the immediate gut reaction.

I have friends who are Doctors and nurses. If you think this is all about you then you are pretty damn selfish.
