Dang - it sure does get dicey if reins are being passed and we are still in the middle of this mess

Frankly I feel we'll be well out of it by then, but who knows?

A critique of the report I shared a couple posts ago.

It makes me feel some better.

It's a wonder they haven't got whiplash from that head-spinning turnaround!

Interesting how the nice ladies handing out the free lunches today in CT weren't wearing any masks.
Cannot believe it, actually.

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic (probably) or not.

But folks interacting with large numbers of the public should wear masks.
My parents in a heavily populate very international NJ suburb went to their local Costco on Monday.  Long lines outside as the warehouse store was only letting in a certain number of people at a time.  People somewhat spaced out by having their giant carts in line with them.

My parents are regulars there for the past 20+ years (dating back to when it was Price Club), so they know a number of the cashiers and workers, including one guy my father used to work with.  They asked a few of the cashiers/workers why they weren't wearing masks and the response was that they were told there's a mask shortage and those available are needed by health workers and the sick.  America 2020.

Yeah, the American people could easily be confused by competence.
One of the dumber comments I've read here in a while.  Though I appreciate the dangerous undercurrent.

Hey Bart, I appreciate posts discussing the medical aspects of the virus.
I've been studying brain surgery for the past 5 years, and have an earlier grounding in HIV.  But only a vague general knowledge of pulmonary functions.  Btw, pneumonia is also what often kills immuno-compromised HIV patients (though there are other opportunistic diseases lurking as well).

I probably should spend a month or so studying the lungs, then another for the liver, and on to kidneys.  Been meaning to read up on the spleen as well.  The human body and medical knowledge thereof is pretty absorbing.

Credentials and experience are useful, because it separates someone with some genuine knowledge from someone just googling around and perhaps not having a complete picture or not posting the most relevant info. 

I'm not a doctor and have no formal medical training, but I have learned a good deal about cranial aneurysms and their treatment, and anything I posted here about such should/would hopefully have a good amount of validity (and I would be likely to double-check with my brain surgeon circle).

As far as I understand, the primary reason that the flu, coronavirus,the common cold and seasonal allergies have similar symptoms is that your body has a limited repertoire of responses -- fever, mucus production, lymph and white blood cell marshaling.  that is, a lot of the symptoms are not caused by the pathogen itself, but by your body's response.  Cough seems to be produced by the sickness itself as your throat becomes irritated.  With the devilish invader causing you to expel viral particles to spread itself around.
