Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

If this doesn't somehow loosen up in a week or two, half the country may be out of work.  It's bad.

That ain't happening.
My dad was "hopeful" of the same thing, but this is a mathematical equation and we have other countries to provide the answer.  I can personally guarantee there will be far more cases and deaths 2 weeks from now than today.  It's a certainty.

That's strong. What makes you state this?

Not that I entirely disagree. Of course the cases will explode with testing now available (assclown f-balls coming home from Florida, etc. won't help).

Not sure about deaths.

I didn't disagree with your premise. I think the medical profession is going to gain much more understanding on this and help beat it. Of course, the elderly and sick will be hit hard, no matter the intervention.

The state of Texas, you know - the one with 29 million people, has done jack-squat.  We might actually want them to secede because they're going to need an inordinate percentage of resources because of their inaction.  
But oh, you know, when it gets bad there, it'll be an act of god or some crap.  Mysterious ways n such.

We're not taking enough precautions and people aren't taking precautions seriously, especially outside of the hard-hit areas.

We don't have enough testing capacity so people who are potentially contagious are continuing to circulate.

This thing is going to grow, and we don't have anywhere near the capacity to care for severe cases.

One of the doctors at my wife's office is on the Coronavirus task force for her hospital in Long Beach, and says that the peak deaths will be about 40 days away here in OC. Also predicting 1M deaths nationally.

We're way behind on this thing.

It's so contagious that containment was never, EVER an option.  It's been in the USA since December.  More testing and earlier testing might have slowed the rate of the spread, and it also might have caused the panic a month earlier.

People are only going to social distance/SIP for 4-6 weeks.  After that, whatever the virus is going to go, it's going to do.  It was always going to be that way, anyway.

Flattening the curve doesn't mean preventing the spread, that's been impossible since Day 1.  It just means slowing it down so that health services, ERs, and ICUs aren't completely overrun.

Please don't use the word "might" here.  It's dishonest.

Yeah, that place.

Where my beloved 50 y/o Iron Man brother-in-law (brother) passed due to a medical error, during a routine (anal fissure) surgery. Sepsis.

F that hospital.

Got the call while on the I-80 Mississippi River bridge, coming home from a UW victory in Lincoln.


Sorry to change the subject...
