@Sgee, c’mon man…
Don’t post scary tabloid bullshit like this. The NY Post is not a reliable source.

Yeah, I suspect the SF Bay Area orders will be a model for other hot spots.
If someone aged 10-39 gets COVID-19, current guess is there’s a 1 in 500 chance that they’ll die. People in their 40s, 1 in 250. So obviously some people those ages have terrible symptoms.

I think some of it is true, friend from HK sharing some patients are recovering with permanent lung damage 
.
Obviously no one truly knows the full impact of the virus on the population at large at this stage.
Moral of the story, DON"T GET 
INFECTED!

The NYT has dropped some of it’s paywall, as has the Washington Post. The Guardian has two live blogs (one for the US, one for the UK and the rest of the world - new blogs are started each day) that are full access (as is the rest of their site).

Starting to see more resources and funds to help restaurant workers. I have not had the time to vet any of these sites but I’m sure more will surface soon.

Yay!
Btw, while I’m all for supporting legit journalism, you can get around the paywall on some sites (not the LAT or WSJ) by using the private browsing/incognito option. Also regularly clearing your cache.
AP News is free and a great resource, too.

I max out on this everyday - how I consume news daily. I switch between Chrome, Firefox and Explorer until I run out, then it’s fake news the rest of the day

Clear the cache, shut down browser, restart device. Oh, and run Privacy Badger (at least on Firefox) to block some of the tracking beacons.

One more thing: many libraries have subscriptions to the various newspapers. Get an online membership and access papers through the library portal!

I predict the political tide will turn soon when it dawns on everybody that there’s no exit strategy for these efforts to flatten the curve. People will not be willing to flush their futures down the toilet to flatten the curve.

That’s not going to happen if hospitals are overwhelmed, and nationally we’re still on track for that to happen.
With the shelter-in-place measures in the SF Bay Area, in three weeks spread should be drastically reduced. Epidemiologists and public health officials can then calculate when and to what extent restrictions can be relaxed and what new policies might replace them, maybe following the South Korean model.

In the meantime, scientists are running lots of models and getting more information.

The good thing is . The local bar called ABC. They did not know where they are located or ever heard of the name of it . Cool . Open for business.

I read about this $1000 check that is being proposed. Is that supposed to be for everybody? If so we’ll certainly donate it but then have to figure out where. We already make an automatic, monthly donation to our local food bank so I’d be inclined to do that.
