Corona Virus

One of many little things come to my mind every so on, today it is the virus and the jump from whatever animal it came from, the earth has been around a long time, been through a lot of changes from cave dwellers to rocket scientists, apart from sars, swine flu and mars and now covid19...these are the only virus to jump ship into humans, it would seem 2000 years ago everything was ok, even 1000 years ago it was ok, so in this relatively short space of time, mere decades, 4 viruses have crossed into humans, THAT does sound strange, and every one has been stronger and more dangerous...I am not and never will be a conspiracy theorist, but I wish someone knew the numbers on this occuring in such a short space of time, I think 3 ? Of them came from China....what kinda odds on that ?, is there really something being held back from us, well most likely there is, but the gov's hope to sort this mess out before they tell us (in 500 years time ).
It is a very very strange time to be living in, and I just hope we all make it through this ok.

 

I agree that adding debt is not a solution. Not sure why you presume what you do.

There's talk of small businesses already shutting down, possibly permanently, because Congress delayed the stimulus.

 

Just my opinion, but we shouldn’t count on government of any type to swoop in and save us. They simply don’t have the smarts to figure it out, and the citizens pay for it one way or another.

I do feel sorry for all of the small business owners out there. Not only do they lose their jobs, but they also lose all of their hard earned cash they sunk into building the business. When this is over, I know that I’ll be shopping locally to support the local owners.

 

You're not supposed to quarantine the healthy. As the experts themselves said, there's lots of people carrying and spreading it who show no signs with, what, about 1% getting sick and most of them recovering? Those are pretty good rates for a plague.

The longer this universal quarantine stretches out, the longer the time frame for people catching it who would have been exposed and come down with it earlier. It's actually going to take longer this way.

Meanwhile, the machinery we ALL depend on continues to wind down to a stop.

 

Yes you will have to do massive testing to identify those who have obtained immunity and get them back in the workforce. We're nowhere close to that capability at this point -- even the sick don't get tested -- and opening things up prematurely will certainly only make things worse down the line. Having it take longer is what is necessary given limited hospital capability to treat the seriously ill.

And....? Missing your point. A lot of infected asymptomatic individuals are also in the workforce untested. Texas , for example, a state of almost 30 million people, has done 10,000 tests in total. That's not what you want.

Yep.

 

Like she said, they were already there. We need to get back to work and we don't need to wait on testing to green light it. If people are going to come down with it, they're going to come down with it. If they're not, they're not.

BTW...we're in first place with around 35 ICU beds per 100k people, with Germany in 2nd with 29. UK is a distant 8th with 6.

 

Those beds are not evenly distributed, nor is the virus. And since the US has no intergated national public health system, rationalizing distribution of health resources is proving to be a nightmare and things are just getting started.

I think you're nuts.

My assumption comes from the belief that the government isn't going to give grants to every small business. As history has shown, it will most likely come in the form of a Federal Small Business Loan

 

oh.

oh.

 

Senate bill includes forgivable loans up to $10 million.

WHO fatality estimates were wrong.

MSNBC issues correction for dangerously stupid lie.

The only thing I've read about is the "$367 billion loan program for small businesses".
Not saying that your 10 million forgivable loan isn't in there, I just haven't read anything about it.

 

Death rate is a function not only of the inherent lethality of the disease but also of the ability of the health system to treat it. The vast difference (3x) in rates between say Korea and Lombardy probably reflects this. Rather obviously when you run out of ventilators your death rate goes up among those whose survival requires them.

It's in there but nothing is passed yet.
