At times, you'd just like a person to SHUT UP.  (No meant for anyone here.)

Also, mildly amusing to me:

Well I'd certainly leave those questions to the experts, to answer and resolve.  Dammit Jim, I'm an electrical engineer, not a doctor!

I know I am in the minority on this forum, but I just don't see the panic about this virus. Yes it is contagious, yes, people can die from it.  That said, your chances of dying (in the general population) if you actually beat the odds and get it in the first place is very small.

In the past month, I have travel to Massachusetts to visit friends and family. I have traveled to Ohio for my son's wedding and interacted with a large number of people I didn't know.

Every Friday night, I have gone out and officiated a football game and gone out afterwards to a restaurant to have dinner and drinks with my crew mates. 

I guess I could be a super spreader, except in spite of not taking a lot of precautions I haven't contracted it. From the fear espouse by so many (including a number on this forum) I should have at least got Covid by now. 

I will say what I have said countless time to people. If you have a co-morbidity, isolate yourself until this pandemic passes, if you don't live your life because you are at little risk.  Now I can hear it now, what if you get it and spread it to someone else who dies.  I will repeat, what was the person with a co-morbidity doing being out and about, because the great odds are that if a person died with Covid, they are someone with a co-morbidity. 

But that makes me a heartless jerk.

I don't recall where you live, RR.  Is it a place that has a high number of cases right now, or a large and densely packed population? 

Both of those are factors in how likely you are to catch it, at any given time.  For example, at its peak here in Austin back in July/August, I was more likely to catch it by being out and about, than I am now, simply because the environment around me at any given time was more likely to contain it.

Same thing for densely packed urban environments compared to less inhabitated rural areas. 

The spread comes from being in close proximity with a person that is infected and infectious, for a period of time that's > 10 minutes, evidence shows 15-20 seems to be the likely amount of time.

Also, badgerfan just told me you've already had it anyway.

Twice.

I used to follow some of this guy's stuff for OSU basketball.  I hear he's now a covid expert:

Listening to the daily briefing from the MN Dept of Health. Depressing as hell. Multiple references to unknown territory. 

Dr. Michael Osterholm was on the call. Among other things, he reminded everyone that the next 3 weeks of cases are already out there and would still be swamping the system even if there were 0 new cases tomorrow.

The father of one of our ring-bearers is an orthopedic surgeon, whose wing is being shut down and all the staff being moved to COVID floors. Both him and his family are terrified.

Hospital capacity could be exceeded.  I expect elective surgery to be curtailed soon in places, if not already happening.
