| Ohio has now joined the shit show. 37 confirmed cases with almost half being in Cuyahoga County. Thanks a lot Cleveland! At this point, I'm down to just get the damn virus, let it run its course, and then go about my life. My work has announced that there is some half-assed contingency plan in place in case the base restricts access to essential staff only. Basically, I would have to figure out how to telework for 8 hours per day until normal operations resume. Our main office won't be able to contain all of us, so some of us will have to stay home. Just to show that I'm a team player, I offered to bite the bullet on that. On the other hand, I might just say screw it and take the week off. | ||

| Question: If one gets this virus and and it runs its course and you get better. Are you now immune to it or can you get it again? Is the strain mutating and can you get the mutated strain and get ill again? | ||

Feds drop the interest rates 0 to 1/4%. Time for a refinance??? THIS IS HUGE!!! Fed takes emergency action to lower interest rates to near zero amid coronavirus pandemic Target range for the federal funds rate lowered to 0 to 1/4 percent clickable text The Federal Reserve said Sunday it is lowering interest rates for a second time since the coronavirus outbreak began infecting the global economy. The bank's committee said it would lower the target range for the federal funds rate to 0 to 1/4 percent. NEW YORK FED PUMPS LIQUIDITY INTO MARKETS "The Committee expects to maintain this target range until it is confident that the economy has weathered recent events and is on track to achieve its maximum employment and price stability goals," the bank said in a statement. The Fed previously lowered the benchmark rate March 3 by 50 basis points. President Trump has been pushing for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to drop rates to zero or below zero, saying he is "not happy with the Fed." "He has, so far, made a lot of bad decisions, in my opinion," Trump said. |

| @GAC Your videos are saying that it may be possible. Not definite. I would say that until such time it is proven, jumping to conclusions will only make things worse. We dont need to pump a bunch of inaccurate information out there. There is so much crap already. This is of course just my opinion. |

| LA Times Reinfection Forbes Reinfection When discussing the reinfections, there are some factors to consider. In the linked articles above, they discuss a little bit about why some people may be testing positive a second time. It could include weak immune systems, poor initial action by the CCP, false positives/negatives from testing, and mutated strains. |

| The peer reviewed science papers out of China are suggesting that the initial infects were the more aggressive strain of the covid 19 virus and that at the epicenter there were multiple cases of reinfection of the secondary or less deadly strain....with the obvious coming into play...older people, underlying health problems, and those already compromised in some way forming the target group for secondary infection …. So re-infection has been documented in the epicenter , at least. What I am surprised and not certain is that so far I have heard no further cases known or reported/documented of the initial more deadly strain being spread. The papers I am reading cannot offer insight why that case is unless the virus was so saturated in the Wuhan district that it mutated in reaction to reinfecting a previously infected orignal strain carrier. |

| A life spent in the military and also law enforcement has taught me to be proactive instead of reactive. Part of that is looking down the road to prepare for the worst case scenario. Having said that, here are my thoughts. Tonight the CDC "recommends" groups be limited to 50 people or less. Now at some point, those recommendations may become mandatory. As we've already seen, some people don't think the rules apply to them and have had to be forced to stay in quarantine. IF the government decides to enforce the 50 and under rule they would probably force the closing of venues that hold more than 50. Think malls, shopping centers, etc. If that happens, there will be people freaking out fearing running out of food and supplies. That's when some form of martial law has to be enacted. In my local area they announced Friday that all public schools would close this coming Wed. Tonight that was changed to their closing tomorrow. How much the announcement from the CDC affected that change of plan is unknown. Some states governors have announced the closing of resturants and bars along with schools. What's the next step? Mandatory house arrest? I'm not wanting to come off as an alarmist, but I think these subjects should be thought about and discussed before those situations actually arise. I'm in the group that's been warned about the virus in that I'm over 60 and have COPD and diabetes. So far I haven't altered my lifestyle other than staying away from my octogenarian neighbors who I cook for from time to time. My wife is an elementary school teacher and I fear her getting the virus from work, passing it on to me and then I might pass it on to my older neighbors. More worried about them than myself at this point. I have called them to see if they need me to pick up anything for them and if so to leave a list on their porch for me to pick up so we won't have close physical contact. In the beginning of this all I felt it was being blown out of proportion and I still feel that way to a certain degree. I've seen the crowds at stores with folks grabbing up toilet paper and water. So far locally there's been no violence, but as this is in the South and many people are armed (open carry state) I'm keeping an eye of folks just like I did as a LEO. In the past when this country has faced terrible situations, we've come together and looked out for each other. I hope this time is no exception. |

| The entire trick in an epidemic is to be proactive..most people here missed that chance when it was downplayed and pooh poohed repeatedly so now the response is outright panic as they continue hearing two separate voices...one that says no big deal, walk it off johnny, go back to work vs the experts at the CDC who have said repeatedly this is going to get worse before it gets better and to isolate and weather it out. Frightening times to be sure.... I appreciate your service in the military and law enforcement as well. Thanks for helping your nation...its great you are trying to help others in your neighborhood as well...wish more of the world thought as clearly as you are. For people that read a lot of the science, and knew how damn scary zoonotic illnesses are, there was never a chance of blowing it out of proportion....if you watch the trend, about every 5-8 years we get hit with one of these that is new, as the virus in question is passed along by some other animal....each one seems more deadly, more frightening and more hideous. We are getting off easy this time if it is already slowing in China...watch the next one though...and remember |

| My wife is her own boss so she will work at home and I'm semi retired and work just two days a week at a supermarket. Just feel for the people working in jobs where they can't work from home and close down the businesses so lose their jobs. We are now in a recession and it'll probably take eighteen months when every thing opens up to fully recover unfortunately |

| Another member posted this link and I've bookmarked it to follow it: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 Been noticing an interesting difference in death rate percentages: Spain 7,844 cases 292 deaths= 3.72% France 5,437 cases 147 deaths= 2.70% US 3,774 cases 47 deaths= 1.24% Germany 5,813 cases 13 deaths= 0.22% I wonder why such a big difference in death rates? |

Darkseid_of_town private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I could suggest some of it is based on exposure times...the longer the exposure the more the percentage should drop ...as many initial patients are not identified until they begin checking into hospitals or dying. ..….so initially the death rate is much higher, as the cases reported vs cases of death would be out of comparison. As more cases report in due to testing and actually checking despite the lack of symptoms the death rate remains constant as a fixture of the total number of cases. This means a country like Spain is likely to drop quickly in about a week... France is likely in a falling mode The US is likely going to level off at less than 1 percent or right at... The figures for Germany are odd however...there is more at work there we cannot see from just the figures...it would seem likely they are going to have many more reported deaths that have not yet been documented guessing by the percentages. |

| It kind of put things into perspective for me when I heard today that a very exclusive local Country Club was closing for a few weeks. Their members are successful business owners and wealthy members of society who take high-level meetings. I realize it's not so much about concern of serious illness as it's concern of being quarantined by association. If they are open and one of the members contracts the virus, then they would make the local news and every member would have to quarantine for 14 days as well as many others by association. They want to be able to say "we've been closed, we haven't been exposed to each other". The same with the schools, we don't want to have to quarantine an entire school because 1 student or teacher is diagnosed with the virus. I think we will see this for 3-4 weeks and then as a society we will say "we've done what we can to minimize things, let's get back to regular life." Many of the shut-downs come with a pre-determined expected re-open date, which reinforces this idea. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos I've only heard of one case of that happening. I think was is most likely is: she had a cold AND Covid-19. She recovered from the cold, but Covid-19 - which has a long incubation period - hadn't kicked in yet. Then she got sick from Covid-19, after being released because she "recovered." That's just a wild-ass guess on my part and may be wrong. Regardless, the experts think the few reports coming out of Asia regarding re-infections are likely some sort of error in testing or reporting. And they also believe you will be immune after having it once. https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/484942-japan-confirms-first-case-of-person-reinfected?fbclid=IwAR0BIVN131N9-sAKBWegP3Q8dxOXeSfjmWXHL7lluqX9lXZIElI2PnW2SIc |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkseid_of_town Isn't Germany one of the countries taking a very pro-active stance on testing, and being successful at it? That would bring the mortality rate way down. Particularly since they haven't been hit hard quite yet. I just checked: Germany has 5813 positive cases, 13 deaths, and 46 recovered. That means there are 5754 active cases there, where they don't know what will happen yet. By contrast, the US has 3774 total cases, 69 deaths, and 12 recovered. To me, that indicates that we aren't testing as many people as Germany, since both the US and Germany have enough ICU capacity (unlike Italy right now) and should have a similar mortality rate for that reason. So it is likely that we actually have more active cases than Germany and just don't know it. In the US, you still can't get tested - because we don't have nearly enough tests - unless you meet stringent criteria ... currently: you are high-risk (such as travel to Asia), have had contact with someone infected, or are severely ill. Just exhibiting symptoms is not enough. |
