My step daughter has recovered from whatever she had, her husband didn't come down with anything.  It could have been influenza.  She was pretty sick for a week or so but tested negative, and the MD said that didn't mean anything.

A test of a group in a homeless shelter in Boston had something like 40% test positive and asymptomatic.

Seems there was a lot of PWI going on here last night.

Let's get back to the topic instead of trying to place blame for this. That rests with China, period, end of story.

That's basically all my posts at this point
So.. you are on Vegas time then?
I was told that quarantine rules are airport rules...

If you want a drink with a side shot at 9 AM, that's your prerogative.

Some double blind clinicals are not promising.

I sort of ponder who would support this stuff had a Democrat advocated for it.  Obviously we all should hope it has some efficacy.

The Gildead antiviral had some very very preliminary positive news.
Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine have some serious issues that it can mess with the heart... Not sure if it has enough positive effect to override the risk.

Remdesivir looked promising from the start... Interested to see if that one takes off.

I sent a message to my doctor yesterday. I want to know if what I had back in early March was the flu, or this thing. I dismissed at as the flu because I got better. Knowing what we now know, I'd like to learn more. My wife even got a little ill, and she (99%) NEVER gets sick. That was the first time in 10+ years since I've seen her down.

So, maybe we can find out. I'll keep you all posted on what I hear from him.
Definitely let us know, would love to see if you can get an antibody test.  In a weird way, this is one where you're hoping for a "positive" I'd say. :)

Wow, hadn't heard about the one in Boston.

Not sure if we touched on the Stanford Medical study in Santa Clara county, based on taking blood samples from 3,300 residents, which indicated somewhere between 2.49% and 4.16% of the population could have already had it.  That would translate to between 48,000 and 81,000 residents having it on April 1st, at a time when the positive test cases were 956. (total population in Santa Clara county is 1.93 million)

Alcohol consumption is supposed to increase your chance of catching the coronas, so look out! :)

Oh yeah it hasn't stopped me.   Just saying.

Yesterday we picked up crawfish from a local place, our first of the season.  So good!  And of course we had to have beer with it.   No Abita or Jax on hand, so we went with Mexican beer-- NOT Corona of course.

Out of the nearly 400 guests tested, 146 tested positive for Covid-19, according to O'Connell.

He's going with Glenlivet

The homeless would be the most likely to contract COVID, right?  (Not talking mortality.)  146/400 is pretty up there I think.

It would be nice to know what the infection rate is rep pop in various centers.

Talked to a clerk at the local Market.No one employed in their many outlets that he is aware of has contacted COVID.They use gloves but weren't wearing masks - they have the plexiglass partition at check outs
