Coronavirus and the NFL

Note that HK and Singapore were ready for this because they got over the "newness" of actually reacting to a pandemic with SARS.
HK and Sing also social distanced and self-isolated despite their gov't's inability to order such measures. Again this appears to be due to a collective memory of SARS carrying over.
We don't have an event we can rely upon... even if we did, we'd probably have forgotten it by now.
And hand washing/sanitizing upon entering a patient's room is now a Best Practice for US hospitals. I know... the one where I had my hip surgery done employs it and asks patients to freely remind any staff that they see skip the hand station by the door to sanitize before they touch.
They are now in the top 1% of US hospitals for infection rates.
Hospitals were the amplifiers in China
Being as how hospitals are where sick people go, has there ever been an epidemic when at least initially this was not the case?

Ordered a Chinese take out for delivery. Chinese driver walks down the drive towards the door and I walk down the drive to meet him. He started shouting isolate isolate. I said calm down .... you're not late I only ordered it 15 minutes ago...

By the end of the day the US will have more coronavirus cases then any other country in the world.

We were ahead of schedule...

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson tests positive for the coronavirus.

We have had at a stay at home order since last Thursday here in CA. We had about half of the people here take it seriously. They posted pictures of crowds at the beach and people shopping for non-essentials. They initially Said exercise and going outside is fine so everyone congregated to the parks!!! They closed those Monday- finally. Loads of people complaining about the lack of testing but they aren’t even taking social distancing seriously. Stay away from people it is pretty simple.
It is getting a little better this week. They’ve ordered fines for people out and about for no reason. I’m a 50% essential employee working half home and half in the office. It is little strange driving in downtown San Diego with a handful of people walking around. Strange times indeed.

Our office is remote from our main office. We have 13 people total only three are in the office now. Two of the three are can work from home the other is a principle in the company. I have been working from home since last Wednesday. Daughter does not go back to school till May. People just need to stay home and away right now so things can go back to normal sooner.

NYC has seen same and so is trying an approach of blocking off streets and turning them into pedestrian ways to give folks the room to spread out. Traffic has been light to non-existent so worth a shot.
Also saw yesterday where some grocery stores have taped stripes on their floors that are 6' apart to remind customers and show what spacing looks like.

Yes we have the "X" on the floor six feet from the register and the plexiglass covering the cashiers.
I'm wearing gloves at all places- I have a 4 month old at home can't take chances.

Serious question:
What happens when the world decides to get back to normal because we closed off the planet long enough, and everyone must be virus free by now..... but whoops - we missed one.
Here we go again? Hell no D you dumbass, it would be totally different a second time because....? D, you're stupid, we won't miss one because we are just that good? D, you're an idiot, what we would do then is.....................................................??
Someone help this guy understand it all, and how this right here, right now completely and totally differs from the 2017 -2018 flu season where we lost 61,099 lives in the USA alone https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm and not one of us even batted an eye.
No media links please, as I wouldn't trust a single "journalist" if he or she told me I was on fire, even though I smelled something delicious.
I seriously can't wrap my head around this overreaction, and I'm beginning to think that I need to look for Morpheus and ask him for that red pill.

lol... sorry... Sometimes I just gotta be me. Well actually all the time... cause who else would want to be?
But i digress... again...
DB...
Setting aside any treatment or prevention drugs, which obviously change the outlook, here's how it could be different.
That guy we miss... if he becomes symptomatic we can react quickly. If he goes to hospital, he'll be ID'd... if he calls in sick with a fever/flu... his work can say "hmmmm" call local health officials and make them aware. Knock knock.... who is there? Test kit..
It's going to be a while even for we short-attention span 'Mericans before we forget the lessons we are learning here... at least for all those who actually learning.
ID early... isolate early... ID contacts early... test test test early... quarantine early... publicize the case early... all leads to nip it early...
The Covid test infrastructure that is still building will be with us for a while.
Hope I helped...

As I type, we've got almost 16,000 NEW cases TODAY. That's more new cases than all but six other countries have TOTAL cases!
If ya don't have to go out, DON'T. (I'm not talking about going out to your backyard for a little sunshine, of course)

I had to go out to pick up medication. Then I got some carryout food on the way home. But then I came back .

We have a Thai restaurant here that is to die for... carried out from them earlier this week. Know, love and trust the owners...
But have to say...
... the thought of a McD's or other drive thru sammich with extra sneeze scares me more than it normally would.

Scary Tectonix demo...
Link below takes you to Twitter post by Tectonix CEO. They tracked Spring Breaker cell phones from Miami Beach beach to their homes... mostly in upper midwest with 2ndary migration to upper east coast.
You can see the major interstate routes home. And a handful of flight destinations in Colorado, AZ, MN...

I have a friend who still insists on throwing weekly poker games at his house, where everyone crowds into a 10x10 room around a table. I quit going after Dewine shut down all restaurants and bars, but the games still go on. They played last night. Another friend of mine, in the group text for the poker games, will send a link regarding coronavirus every time a new game is talked about. Some people just don't care.

Yup... but marry the Tectonix migration tracking to the following US City Hot Spot Plot and maybe they will.

Scroll down a little. Cursor on a dot should bring up corresponding City/Area name and current counts.
There are a few Ohio cities that have low case counts, but high rates of increasing cases including Columbus and Toledo.
CLE is the dot to the left of DC... there are worse dot placements. Pittsburgh is the dot just below St. Louis.
