Ron DeSantis is the shit.

one of my favorite Churchill quotes is when some lady said to him "Sir you are drunk" to which he replied "tomorrow I will be sober but you will still be ugly"
I believe it was the same woman who also said if I was your wife I poison your tea he responded if you were my wife I'd drink it.

Churchill's mother was American but he was steadfast in British political interests.So the USA didn't always see I2I with the Crown's government nor play party to it.Leading Winnie to state "You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing - after they tried everything else"

I love you playing the manliness card vs a virus.  Brilliant.  Out-tough it, right?  Hey, let's punch it out of the patients!  Hey, I heard if you don't shave for 3 days, you're immune!

Masks or no, anyone who shows up to a football game right now is kinda making the statement that they've assumed the risk for themselves. And anyone who thinks that's a stupid risk is free to avoid attending [as I would avoid if it were me].

The question comes down to whether we should allow stupid people to be stupid in large groups, knowing that infections will then spread outward from there once they all leave the game.
Stupid people should be allowed to be stupid when their stupidity endangers themselves, NOT when it endangers everyone else.

Yep.

Having had it, it's not that bad,

And DeSantis bragged about how well FL was doing days before it exploded there - a state full of old people with a virus that kills them off.  Yeah, he's the shit, alright.

I’m happy to report that my mom is home from the hospital. She was in there for 3-4 days.  She received REMDISVR and plasma. She’s resting at home and is on supplemental oxygen for a week or two while she recovers. 

I’m sad to report that my dad is losing his battle with Covid. He’s been on the ventilator since last Monday and he’s getting weaker by the day. As I stated he was already in poor health before this started so it’s not surprising. Even if he somehow beats the virus I’m afraid the effects of being hospitalized for weeks will weaken him enough that he never really recovers enough to make it home.

You should spend more time spinning your Wham records and spooning with Allen Harper.If left up to twat waffles such as yourself humanity would still be scratching on cave walls in Mesopotamia.As long as you are not sucking off the Government then ya shut everything down.The thought of a petulant,ill equipped,misguided knob such as you having to actually fend for yourself fills me with incredible joy

There is a sample size of millions who have had it and felt nothing.

I obviously prefer statistics over anecdotal evidence.  My 32 year old kid in Texas had it and it was far from asymptomatic.

That's an anecdote.  I still don't really understand what is happening with this disease.  You can point to Florida as a disaster, and it appeared to be along with AZ and GA and whatever else, and then rather mysteriously the case rate went down.  A lot.  Maybe this is due to folks getting scared and being more cautious, maybe.

Italy appears to be starting a new rise in reported cases that is significant.  That had been lagging a bit as France and Spain took off.  They are nearing their peak new reported case rate from April, which was very bad.

France is at three times it's max in April now, over 20,000 new cases per day.  Deaths remain low, which is obviously a sign our treatments have improved, or older folks are more protected, but this thing is nearing crisis mode in France.  Sweden is also picking up again, around 700 cases per day.

I don't see much correlation between behaviors and case rates, but it's possible that is the explanation.

I also am not sure what public health steps should be taken NOW to limit this disease beyond what we're doing.

1. Seems that some of "us" have natural immunity.

2. The public needs to take care of itself. Choose to protect yourself, or choose to not protect yourself. Natural selection is natural.

I don't remember your son being far from symptomatic. I thought he had some issues. Maybe I misremember.

I meant far from asymptomatic.  He was very sick for four days, short of breath, almost unable to walk across the room.  I was trying to figure out how to get out to him for a few days.  No apparent lingering symptoms.

It obviously can hit a healthy young individual hard at times (cytokines and all that).  

I don't think I have had it.  I was sick in France in January, but I think it was bronchitis, a lot of congestion and coughing, I stayed in bed several days.  Every time I'm on an 8 hour flight it seems I get sick.  

We're taking a short driving trip on Monday, three nights in motels.  I have reviewed their precautionary steps.

Sounds to me as though you had it. It was definitely in Europe at that point. The Spaniards found evidence that it was in their country in September 2019.
