    Right, see you’re relying on your intuition, not science, which has already put us behind South Korea and Japan.

    Your statements are based on nothing more than conjecture. See scientists and physicians have more credibility because they have spent 10+ years studying the subject matter. How long have you studied the matter? What is your factual basis?

    How was genetic the code discovered? By conjecture? Chiropractors? No by scientists who devoted decades STUDYING cells and their components in the lab.

    That’s how science works and how solutions are found; through hard work, not blind statements.

    It's not worth debating with you. You either are not willing to listen, too dumb to understand, or you're trolling. Tell you what, check back a week from today and we'll look at the numbers.

    On one tracker I've seen, this is the second straight day of at least 50 deaths in the U.S. A week ago there were only 50 deaths total. That rise is crazy and obviously only the beginning. Even if these measures knock that down and this is where we end up (it won't, at least for a while), what if a bus crashed a day and killed 50 people? We'd be going crazy. I know most on this thread feel the same way about the danger of this thing, but ugh, those who still don't think it's a big deal or minor.

    It's about to kill a whole lot of people, and that's going to make believers out of most of the hardheads. I guess it will have to kill friends and family before others get the message.

    It's coming. Better brace up.

    The numbers must get worse for the reality to get better. The more people we test, the higher the numbers of infected. But the death rate increase shouldn't go up as much. The more data, the better the response can be. Nobody wants to be the data, least of all me, but as a society, that's the situation.

    Just saw my first ad related to the situation.

    Gm has 0% for 80 months, no payment for 120 days. Some small print on the bottom of the screen also but still, heck of a deal.
    'Special qualified buyer' was listed rather than the usual qualified buyer. Must mean exceptional credit rating required.

    Great idea. They are not yet overwhelmed but are setting it up here to keep patients separate.
    I hear NY was starting to be very, very busy.

    Watching local news last night all the commercials were for new cars or ambulance-chasing attorneys.
