    There's the hole in your logic right there.
    I hope you are not, but you could have been infected six days ago.
    This is all about ending the secondary and tertiary transmissions.
    You saw the fuckwit governor raising a mug of beer at the bar and grill and then declaring a state of emergency a few days later.
    Don't be like him.

    garrow-
    Nero had actual talents ... was a thespian, could sing and dance, write poetry.
    I'd like to know for real what it is Trump does well.
    That's what all of this is really about - he's sucked his whole life and for so long that he had to prove to whomever or whatever ghost that he could actually succeed at something.

    You know why we’re different? Because the Chinese mobilized and built emergency hospitals and began immediate testing and shelter in place measures. We on the other did zippo and we’re declaring “it’s a hoax, go party”.

    Keep running from science but science never loses.

    They were also able to totally lockdown their society, which on that level likely won't happen here. And now that they are coming out of it, does it come back? That's the next question for them.

    I love the strong example the President sets with all that social distancing at the podium.

    Then by mid-May the rate of infections will spike and there will be another 2,000 or more with it.

    That's the part people are missing. This social distancing/quarantine situation has to last until a vaccine is widely available - otherwise it does no good. You flatten the curve now, but you have to keep flattening it until the vaccine is ready.

    Demolition Man was ahead of its time with the seashells - I still don't know how that would work though after a trip to Taco Bell.

    Can well all just tell the President, "Hey man - closing travel from China was basically the greatest move off all time, and will be looked upon by history as the biggliest decision any president has ever made, so you and your media cohorts on Fox don't have to bring it up every other breath."

    It will also be good for people to know that the illness/situation is recoverable, and when celebrities like Hanks and Rita Wilson improve and get well (as I believe they are on the way to doing), that is also good for public health and well-being.

    Notoriety (of celebrities, and an illness) can go both ways.

    It doesn't matter how old you are, how much you work out or if you're vegan and nice to old people. If the hypoxia is severe enough it will lead to organ failure.
