At this point, it’s just going to be riding it out. I think we’ll start seeing a bit more of the deaths move to the south in Italy just based on when quarantines went into effect.

Not all parts of Mexico are being oblivious to it at least. Governor of Chihuahua issued similar guidelines to El Paso and New Mexico a few days ago. I could talk about AMLO, but let’s not CR it up.

Some people's behavior during this whole outbreak is just appalling.

Are their graphs that show the deaths instead of the amount of cases? Seems like there’s an issue normalizing the amount of cases based on countries ability to test, etc

Only news that’s come out recently is that Italy saw cases decrease but deaths increase after falling for two days per the BBC.

Because if they get closed down, you’ll see a run on the liquor stores that will end up hurting your original directive. source: I experienced it yesterday and the lines were more dangerous than keeping them open with more strict guidelines.

Denver already relaxed its liquor and marijuana closures. Having lines that literally stretched blocks probably were worse for the spread of the virus than normal operations at those stores would have been.

Also, liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries are considered non essential and will close. Headed to the liquor store now. Will be a mess trying to get it as there’s going to be a run today at both stores.

The short and long term socioeconomic effects of Covid 19
Hopefully we get a renewed focus on mental health and counseling beyond hitting the bottle. Seems like people are losing their minds a week into this, so hopefully this expands the need for people to see mental health experts about the isolation and loneliness that we experience beyond a quarantine.

Those activities are allowed under the order. I think it's more just unifying the recommendations from San Fran/LA to the rest of the state instead of letting it go community by community.

I doubt cruise ships would be retrofitted, but it’s more a possibility of where to put patients if hospitals are flooded. Think some of the colleges that were requiring people to move out of dorms were anticipating for the situation in which the dorms would be used for patients. I’d imagine it’d be the same concept for the cruise ships. If we get to that level, though, society is completely screwed.

I'm sorry, but this is complete horseshit. China is the one that was dismantling research and arresting/silencing people that were trying to wave the red flag at the start of this. They are the ones who had wet exotic markets in the middle of major metropolitan areas when we knew from SARS and the other avian flus that it was a tremendous risk. Our government's response isn't good at all, but China bears a ton of responsibility for this.

From the article you posted and where those new cases are coming from: Indeed, even as Hubei’s numbers have dwindled to zero, China is facing another concern as imported cases continue to add to the country’s tally of infections. The National Health Commission reported 34 new cases for March 18, all of them patients who brought the disease from other countries. the point is that if China and South Korea are unable to deal with people bringing it back in, that means the whole world will have to essentially go under the same quarantine rules to get back to “normal.”

Note that says local cases

And in completely awful news, China and South Korea are seeing a rise in their number of cases. If this holds, this may be months upon months for social distancing.

Honestly, those articles are great compared to some of the twitter journal papers that we are seeing. I've been reading their articles in the morning, and they are pretty damn good in terms of actual research.

On the other hand, Fauci came on Pardon My Take, and he did a pretty good job of not being so grim while being serious about it.

I don’t think it’ll necessary be a death count but more whenever we have images of hospitals making wartime decisions on who gets treatment and who doesn’t ala Northern Italy.

What would you do if the US Treasury sent you $1,000
Is that per person or as a married couple?

Eh, when you get these viruses, it doesn’t matter if you run all the time or not. I was consistently running half’s and whole marathons when swine flu came, and never felt sicker in my life. Had to get steroids to help with breathing. its crazy how the body reacts to these respiratory viruses and how they affect you.

Pretty much if you skied last weekend, you need to quarantine. Also, the ski season is over as Vail and Loveland announced that they are closed for the season. High country is really going to be hurting both from a hospital perspective where they don’t have the resources and financially from all the business at the end of season dissipating.

Austin should have done it earlier. Also, fridge/freezer died overnight. Seems like the worst possible time for this.

"All models all wrong, some are useful." After reading through the paper, his overall conclusions that the US and UK need to go into a suppression instead of mitigation is correct and that's generally what we are seeing with the shutdown of bars, restaurants, etc coming down now. However, his model is definitely wonky and doesn't seem to be calibrated against China or South Korea's performance. There's a lot of smart conclusions in there in regards to policy, but the model seems off with those second peaks. I never thought I'd defend Reviewer #2, but a lot of this research that is being published to twitter instead of being checked is the reason for that reviewer being a complete jackass.

Houston Texans Traded Deandre Hopkins to Arizona Cardinals for David Johnson
I was thinking there had to be a reason why Hopkins was traded in case he was old or a bad contract, but seems like he's absolutely in his prime and his contract is extremely manageable. Not a Texans fan, but the owner should have fired BoB on the spot when he brought him that trade.

Is there a defined time for another press briefing today?
