    my BIL is almost 39! However I'm pretty sure he has the mind of a 20 year old considering that his friends are all much younger than him due to his quest to get a girl waaaaay younger than he is.

    • thats an interesting drug that I took once for an auto-immune problem that tested positive one month for and the next month negative. So I took Plaquenil/hydroxychloroquine for about a month and it wiped out a few warts I had on my hand which was not at the time what it was used for. Warts are caused by a virus (HPV) so perhaps this drug will have some affect since it already works on different types of viruses. I like this line about Plaquenil on webmd: "it is not known exactly how the drug works."

      • The covid19 mortality rate in the US has been dropping, currently 1.62% But if we assume that for every confirmed case there's another unreported case then the mortality rate is 0.81%. +2 is 0.54%

        I wish there was a way to tell all the old and sick people to stay inside, have everything they need delivered, and let everyone else carry on with life and get sick and build immunity. To me thats the best way out of this until we have drugs that will work against the virus.

        • except the infection rate of this strain is way too high to do that all at once, as opposed to the flu.

          that's the point of 'social distancing' - we have to limit the number of new cases per day to a level that hospitals can manage.

            whats the hospitalization rate of under 50 years old? How many under 50 are so mildly sick they dont even bother getting tested and so are unreported? I saw the hospitalization rates yesterday but I'll never find it again...

                • per Washington Post today:

                  A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analysis of U.S. cases from Feb. 12 to March 16 released Wednesday shows 38 percent of those sick enough to be hospitalized were younger than 55.

                  • Sen. Richard Burr issued a warning at a private event weeks ago to prepare for dire effects from the coronavirus, going further than his more public comments, according to a recording obtained by NPR.


                    The chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee warned a small group of well-connected constituents three weeks ago to prepare for dire economic and societal effects of the coronavirus, according to a secret recording obtained by NPR.

                    • Well, you have to give the elites time to get money out of the markets and get prepped for this thing before we let the masses know. If the media or the people start too get wise before you want them to, just say all the concerns are really fueled by Democrats and left-leaning media trying to take down poor Donald Trump.

                          • It's amazing the people who are totally blowing this whole thing off.

                            Mt brother, the Cop and Trumpie, thinks it's a bunch of Bullshit. handfuls of the folks I used to know/live next to in Idaho think it's a democratic plot to Get Trump. The people I hung around with when I live in Mexico aren't doing much if anything to prevent the spread.

                            I was worried about those who'd defy rational mandates. Too bad there's not a virus that attacks the stupid and/or willfully ignorant.

                                they think that the Dems have murdered over 3400 Italians just to Get Trump ... wow ...
                                It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
