Trump wants to reopen economy by Easter
This is supposed to be satire, but not much different than typical press conference: https://youtu.be/sbPQCJtnT6o

I wonder if you understand the point, @CC? If you could somehow come up with a large random sample of people infected with covid-19, across all age groups, the fatality rate would be approximately 1 in 1000, which is about the same as the flu. Higher probably of dying if you're older with pre-existing conditions and less chance if you're a scrawny young guy like yourself. Initially, it was thought that covid was 10x more lethal -- but that's been revised down by the scientific community. Covid may be more contagious and there's no vaccine. So more people will probably come down with the disease. But @Dugan's initial statement is correct: the lethality of covid is likely about the same as the flu.

For fuck's sake man how are you still on this "its just the flu" bullshit? The case mortality rate is now estimated at 0.1%. That's a number backed up by Dr Fauci in a leading peer-reviewed medical journal. The case mortality rate is about the same as the flu.

^^^My guess is that sparsely populated areas (like mine) don't need such draconian policies. I can see shutting down non-essential things like the rec center, but not shutting down the local economy. Overall, with the case-fatality rate adjusted down to 0.1% (by people who know what they're talking about,) I'm feeling more confident that things will end.

^^^ Do you have a reliable reference from the medical or scientific community about your subway theory? NYC cases are probably exploding because it has the highest neighborhood population density in the country. Large densely populated cities are at the greatest risk. Trump's idea of encouraging packed churches on Easter Sunday is beyond insane. He's an incompetent idiot and we would be better off he would just step aside and let the medical and scientific community come up with a plan.

I live in the suburbs where only 50 people have tested positive in a county of over 400,000. Almost certainly an overreaction to shut down all the schools, rec centers, and restaurants -- especially if the case-fatality rate is now at 1 in 1,000. Situation is different in NYC with 20,000 confirmed cases and the hospitals on the brink of failure.

I don't know what the answer is but probably more testing and isolating those at risk. The article by Fauci is a big deal to me. If the fatality rate is only 0.1% then the worst case death toll is more like 170K instead of 1.7M.

^^Actually, a young person who's recovered most likely carries antibodies and is less likely to infect someone else

Dr. Fauci in a very recent article in New England Journal of Medicine states that the fatality rate from covid-19 may turn out to be similar to the seasonal flu: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387 "This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) " Short article, you can read the assumptions for yourself.

"why it is blowing up so much in NY " __________ That's easy: the neighborhood population density in NYC is highest in the country, 2.5x greater than SF, which is in second place.

Apparently you're *not* a new user and SA booted you in 2018 for mentioning p4p: https://tuscl.net/discussion.php?id=62170 That explains everything. Did you bother to change your username? If you did, they probably identified your pervy account with some sort of IP tracking.

I still say you should try my homegrown mixture of antifreeze and vinegar. Appears to kill those buggers and has great taste!

When is a stripper too old to make money?
The college-aged girls are better for raw animal attraction -- but they can be boring and self-absorbed. The older girls are more interesting to talk to. But for strippers or SBs I vastly prefer the former. I'm not looking for a GF.

S Korea flattened the curve with intelligent use of widespread testing. About 30x more testing per capita than we've done: https://nyti.ms/3aeD35c

I do mention PPM all the time (and state that PPM is temporary) but never hint at anything sexual. I've never had any problems with SA. I guess it's possible that new members are put under more scrutiny.

This will probably get muted, but just read from a reliable source that a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and vinegar has proven to kill coronavirus in vitro. Exciting news and I'm expecting this to hit the peer-reviewed medical journals, soon. Please tell the @OP. The info on Chloroquine spread like a virus starting from the medical pre-print servers and was picked up by amateurs. Until randomized clinical trials are done, take it with a GRAIN OF SALT. ...aLthough, I'm hoping the @OP will self-medicate and get back to us with the results.

Chloroquine?
@Papi: "^ don't worry - we'll make it up" ______________ Thanks for the platitude. We're facing complete economic destruction unless the fiscal stimulus is done right and it will probably be in the trillions.

Surviving celibacy during COVID-19
I'm probably going to take a risk and continue seeing the same long-term SB. But kissing is out and I might follow @Upright's avatar which shows a diagram for covid-safe sex: doggy instead of missionary so you're not breathing on each other. OT, It might help if a covid-antibody test because available, similar to the HSV antibody tests that are routinely available.
