  1. As things get worse, it will get more racist. The effort by some to insist on calling COVID-19 the "Wuhan flu" or "Chinese flu" are just the first indicators. BTW, if this is how this thread's discussion goes, then here comes denial . . . and I'm not talking about a river in Egypt.
  2. This March 16 report from Imperial College in Great Britain predicts how the COVID-19 epidemic may develop over the following months, and it's very sobering to say the least. Here's the Complete Imperial College Report. Here are various media reactions to the Imperial College Report. Choose your poison: Mother Jones - the "punch in the gut" version Financial Times Reuters National Review Fox News CNN
  3. Do you and the "several groups" all have medical degrees? Do you submit your "findings" to peer-reviewed journals?
  4. I'm sticking with the CDC and WHO, not a Facebook doctor. Whats next snake oil?
  5. Welllllll, I'm not exactly hoarding but I sure bought more than usual at the supermarket today. Why? The supermarket lot was full, signs on the doors announced shortened hours, the entire paper product isle was empty, no sanitizers, no spray cleaners (409, Chlorox, etc), no bottled water, the fresh meat was gone, the lettuce and spinach were gone, etc, etc. A supermarket employee told me that their supply truck didn't come in today and that it may not be in tomorrow. Lovely. So I bought two boxes of cereal (instead of one), eights cans of canned fruit (instead of 2), and so on. Guilty as charged.
  6. Nope. See Coronavirus: The fake health advice you should ignore (see #6).
  7. I believe it's 80%. But, you're right . . . it may be higher or it may be lower. We don't know. That would be great if it's true, but it may also be wishful thinking. And even so, it may come roaring back in fall. Maybe. Since we don't know, let's follow the CDC's advice. The name of the game is to flatten that curve. Look, this pandemic has some powerful trickle down effects on an international scale. It freaks people out and rightly so. You can catch it from people who appear perfectly normal. That's creepy.
  8. The CDC has straightforward, easy to understand info on coronavirus, but Science Mike and Wheelin It are more "approachable" I guess. Just remember that neither is an expert so you're getting second- and third-hand information. Also, the Wheeling It couple are living in Europe.
  9. While your "Science Mike" YouTube video and Wheeling It blog are interesting, they are no substitutes for the CDC and WHO: CDC COVID-19 Website World Health Organization (WHO)
  10. Wrong. Compared with seasonal flu, COVID-19 has a much higher death rate, especially those older than 60. Also, the is no vaccine to prevent COVID-19 and no treatment after you get it. See Coronavirus Report from WHO (March 6) page 2, 2nd paragraph from the bottom. Seasonal flu has about a 0.1% death rate, coronavirus 3 - 4%.
  11. Works in that one too . . . the 6620L was my 1st try. It worked fine, but on the advice of MIRC I bought the 8800L on eBay for $65.
  12. I think the article's author, not Musk, said this.
  13. Where in this article (which is from Satellite 2020) does it say WHEN?
