    SIAP:
     

     

    Who wants to bet that Jerry will not be anywhere to be seen on campus as he "orders" everyone back.

    At my hospital I was recently told by an administrator that I needed to to a procedure on a high risk patient without an N95 mask cause it wasn't required.  I told him, sure, if he comes in with me with the same protective gear that I have.  Suddenly I was given a N95 mask.  Unfortunately these Liberty  students and faculty can't do the same.

    It's just the olds.  That's all.  And preexisting conditions.  

    Trump did say he had a plan to take care of preexisting conditions for almost no extra health premiums.  Promises kept.

    Fuck, this is all depressing.

     

    Here's a break:

     

    This is awesome, but last time I did made a leaf pile for my dog I found 4 ticks on her.  Apparently ticks love leaf piles.  Bad time to deal with a Lymes outbreak.

    And fuck the cruise lines along with the airlines.

    They charter in foreign countries to avoid paying US taxes and avoid US regulations and laws.

    They’re an even bigger “NOPE” than airlines and hotels.

    No shit.  Why the fuck would we bail out FOREIGN cruise lines?  They are mainly based in the Bahamas to avoid paying US taxes and now they want US tax payer bailouts??  Holy shit.

    So my company (tens of thousands of employees worldwide) has been dragging its feet on any official work policy, so I went into the office today. I found out in the afternoon that someone on my floor went on a cruise LAST WEEK and came into the office today.

    I have an immunocompromised pregnant wife at home. I am fucking livid at my company for not having any official policy that keeps obvious potential high-risk employees out of the office. Am I being unreasonable?

    You should be more pissed that he got your wife pregnant during the cruise  and gave her the AIDS.

    We should get commensurate ownership stakes in any company we give bailout money to.

    How about conditions such as reasonable  seating distances, no more charges for stupid shit like seat assignments and carry on baggage, and general promise of humane treatment in exchange for keeping them alive with our tax money

    Aren't there suspected to be two strains of COVID-19 now?

    Yes there is supposedly 2 strains, a ‘L type’ and ‘S type’.  However, the differences are thought to be be very small which means that an immune response to one is likely to be at least partial for the other strain. But yes it will likely mutate, but as it mutates, everything mutates, including its potency.  Overtime, the new versions that cause widespread distribution without killing too many hosts too quickly tend to win out.  That is what happened to the cold. It started out potent and deadly but mutated rapidly and now is just a yearly irritation.

    I've had both the cold and the flu more than once. What makes you think surviving coronavirus makes you immune? It's not chicken pox.

    If it is the same strain, it does.

    It's a new strain. 

    You get the cold and flu more than once because there are hundreds of viruses that cause the cold and flu.  Each time you get one, you are immune, at least for a time, to that particular virus.   This COVID-19 virus is one specific virus.  It’s not completely certain since its new, but there is a reasonable chance that once you get it, you will have some form of immunity, at least for a period of time.  It it didn’t offer some immunity to the survivors, the virus infection rate on the population would not slow down, as they always do.  
    And yes, as pointed out above, it will mutate but usually the mutants are not as potent since you have had exposure to a similar cousin.   This is one working theory on why kids are not being as badly effected...they get infected with other corona viruses regularly at school.

    we'll find out soon enough if he has it.

    If DOTARD come down with covid19, and especially if he ends up in an ICU, I will have to extensively reevaluate my agnostic beliefs.

    What makes you think this?

    He recently returned from Europe which included stops in Italy in Germany.  I guess I shouldn’t have said  “80% convinced” which is an exaggeration and attributable to paranoia on my part.  The point I was making was that I agree that we have no idea what the prevalence on this virus is right now in the US cause a lot are mild or asymptotic cases and those will not be documented.

    I've said it elsewhere, but I suspect that "2% of people who get this die" number is WAY high.  I suspect that a large number of cases aren't diagnosed at all because the person is asymptomatic or has such mild symptoms that they never end up being tested etc.  Really, any such number is at most "2% of KNOWN CASES," which is likely to be a materially smaller pool than total cases.  This still may have a death rate that's significantly higher than the flu (which is .1%), but "significantly higher could still  just be ..3% or something like that.  We won't know for a while, because the data sets suck. 

    Agree.  I am just getting over a “cold” that i caught from my son which i am 80% convinced is the covid19.   Very mild but I stayed home over the weekend and now feel 90% better.  Will never know I guess cause I never felt bad enough to blow through $1500 of my deductible.
