Some data on Covid-19 and why we're not over reacting...

As soon as possible ass wipe...you opposed to that? Think about it Magoo...
Better to get a vaccine asap rather than say two years from now...ponder it while you're in isolation because of underlying conditions, old age and senility.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Founders of the program 1 Day Sooner, a group comprised of scientists and researchers, hope to be purposefully infected with novel coronavirus, along with other volunteers to help search for a vaccine.

Some 13,000 people from 100 different countries have already signed up to participate in the initiative.

"Researchers are exploring whether human challenge trials could speed up the development of a vaccine for COVID-19, saving thousands or even millions of lives,"

So what are you whining about then?

Good chart. Any other years higher than 2017/18 flu season? Noticed it was above epidemic threshold, don't think anything got closed during that time

One thing to note. The US is at 226 deaths per Million. Thus this chart reflects that under the PIC. Many European nations are above 300. New York and New Jersey are at 1320 and 965. If New York was a country they would be the worst county in the world. Most definitely they should be under major stay at home quarantine rules. But for states that are below half the the deaths per Million, say under 100, which would be around standard P&I, they should have less stringent rules. California is at 63, Texas at 36. Get those states up and running, helping the economy and helping other states in need like New York and New Jersey. Keep a weekly watch and modify if necessary.

We had a vaccine and effective treatment in 2017-18 flu season; so far we don't have either for covid 19. One reason it almost got away was the low rate of vaccination before the season took off, which would mean getting the shots in September or so. I know I didn't get one - how about you?

As for states opening early, Georgia, Florida, and Texas have volunteered to test that tactic for us. I'm watching to see how that turns out.

I went out to three grocery stores yesterday, my first such trip since March 30, because I had to pick up a prescription at one of them. I didn't notice anyone whining about having to wear a mask. Irrelevant point - Smart&Final in Escondido still had almost nothing in the paper products aisle, just like in March. Another thing - because stores don't want people bringing in reusable bags (you don't know where those things have been) they are freely using the plastic shopping bags that were banned recently.
