Friend I used to carpool to high school with has it now. She is a nurse in Baltimore. Apparently she isn’t doing well. I haven’t seen her in a while but both my wife and I hung out with her extensively in high school

One of the employees I had to lay off went to the ER with fever and cough. She tested positive for flu so they didn’t test her for covid, which I think was a mistake but I guess we will see

If you could smack her in the head with a tuna...Repeatedly (Monti Python) to slap some sense into this dimwit would it not be a kindness...I’m thinking...yes it would!

Wow.
This thing spreads like wildfire where you have people in close quarters. Prisons, nursing homes, cruise ships, aircraft carriers... wherever you have people in close quarters.

As of Sunday, a single prison in central Ohio has more positive cases of COVID-19 than any county in the state. With a shocking 1,828 positive tests among its inmate population of 2,500, the Marion Correctional Institution has more cases than Cuyahoga County (Cleveland), Franklin County (Columbus) and Hamilton County (Cincinnati).

More than 100 prison staffers have also tested positive for the virus there, which means that all told, Marion accounts for more than 17 percent of Ohio's total caseload.

Forgive me chellim1 but this story like so many others tells us little to nothing of value. Testing positive means nothing. How many show symptoms, how many have been hospitalized, and how many have died? Those numbers complete the picture. 'If' ~70% are asymptomatic or relatively unaffected, the picture changes dramatically.

Once again, Kurt hits a homerun. An excellent read and right on target. They Can’t Stop Us from Re-Opening America

-- Excerpt --

We’re going to see a rush back to freedom. What’s going to happen is conservative states are going to start opening up and they’re going to start opening up soon. Then people in fascist nightmare states like California and New York are going to look over at Texas and North Dakota and the rest of free America that lies outside of the future People's Republic and wonder why the hell they are still getting yelled at for going to the beach. Pretty soon it’ll be an avalanche as people demand to re-open. And then the stock market is going to soar and unemployment is going to come down and we’re going to put this nightmare behind us. And Trump will get re-elected, which they fear more than any virus.

And once this ends, it’s time to reevaluate. It’s time to reevaluate all the science people who couldn’t make an accurate model to save their or our lives. It’s time to reevaluate all the globalist jerks who sold us out to China – hi Hoover Biden! And it’s time to reevaluate all the Lil’ Himmlers who enjoyed this all way too much.

But first we’ve got to re-open America, and that’s going to happen faster than you think.

Indiana is to re-open May 1st.

There was previously posted a link to a very recent DHS study of COVID-19.

One point from the study:

Sunlight reduced infectious virus to undetectable levels after just 3 minutes of exposure to the solar equivalent of midday sun on a sunny day in the middle latitudes of the U.S.

the science behind how sunlight kills the virus is fairly well established, says Arthur Anderson, former director of the Office of Human Use and Ethics at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Md.

“[Ultraviolet] light breaks DNA into fragments. If the virus is floating around in the air and there’s bright sunlight, the UV component in sunlight will break the DNA or the RNA into pieces,”

That is evidently true of the Ebola virus, but that article leaves some doubt about the validity of the specific claim. What it does make clear, of course, is that things are still being learned about the virus and disease. It will be interesting to follow because it may relate to the reports that COVID-19 is worse for men in general. That’s more likely due to other obvious factors, but time will hopefully tell.

There is so much dreck in this thread that it’s hard to determine what’s worthwhile reading. If you know the link, can you post it here?

I researched the sunlight thing not too long ago, and most of the discussion I found was completely dismissive of the idea that it could inactivate viruses, or at least this one. That seemed odd at the time, but if the above report is true that would be important to know (for me, anyway). As I’ve mentioned before, one thing about living where I do is that most days are sunny and the UV level is higher than at lower altitudes.

Added: I should have searched the Internet first before asking for the link. "DHS COVID-19 sunlight" produced beaucoup hits. But thanks again.

Arrested for 'Posting on Facebook' re: Protesting against Draconian Lockdown Measures....Dangerous 'Mis-Information'!

In 'New Jermany' it's Shut Up and Obey!

To be current, it's getting more like what the Chicoms do to suppress dissent.

We made a terrible mistake

We're told that social distancing is working because we're flattening the curve. How do we know that those two things are related? There isn't that all-important-for-good-science control group. For all we know, the result would have been similar if we hadn't put such draconian measures in place.

In addition, for all our medical experts' talk of their high standards, they ignored those standards when they embraced the Imperial College model that, according to world-renowned epidemiologist Johan Giesecke, was an internal document that was unpublished and had not been peer-reviewed. Giesecke had never seen a document of this type garner so much attention as to shape major public policy decisions.

He also described the strict lockdown measures embraced by many countries as non-evidence-based. (What?! You mean our experts who uphold the highest of double-blind standards have been shooting in the dark?!)

And speaking of lockdowns, according to some reports, the U.K. hit its peak before it put strict social distancing measures in place (here, here, here at the 6:40 mark).

On top of that, Gabi Barbash, a top Israeli scientist, has a statistical analysis that shows that the virus peaks after about 40 days and fizzles to a low level after about 70 days, irrespective of the nature of the public policy to control it.

Sweden, meanwhile, continues to recommend moderate social distancing measures, and the country appears none the worse for wear compared to other Western nations. In fact, Sweden is doing better because it's implemented social distancing without law enforcement arresting people, without drones (made in China) hunting people down, without snitch lines set up for people to report on others breaking the rules, and without taking a sledgehammer to its economy.

In all, Giesecke, Barbash, and decision-makers in Sweden support social distancing measures, but not to the level imposed here in the United States and elsewhere, and not with enforcement that flies in the face of a free society.

So here we are as our experts (with their high standards) attribute current trends with the virus to the shutdown despite no way to prove it, after using a terrible model that informed public policy, and in the face of the very real possibility that no matter what you do with respect to trying to control the virus, the end result may be the same.

Let's practice good infection control and get back to work!

It was great to see the President smack Lockdown Larry yesterday at his press conference. Larry (Hogan) has been patting himself on the back lately and bragging how he bought all of these testing kits from Korea. The President came out and basically said - why did he do that? We have tests here he just wasn't smart enough to figure out how to acquire them.

Maryland is one of the only states now that doesn't have a clear timeline for reopening. Hogan is a joke.

Law of Unintended Consequences. Everyone was so focused on flattening the curve to prevent the health care system from collapsing, they apparently failed to anticipate that it could collapse financially under the restrictions designed to save it.

What happens when the hospitals can no longer pay the staff tending to the COVID patients? Ask them to work for free? Shut down?

Which was preceded by closing and entire hospital in that system shortly before.

I live in Md. Hogan is a joke. Every once in a blue moon he acts like the Republican he claims to be. Mostly he is a massive Trump hater and it shows. His press briefings are laughably short on common sense and long on power mongering. Funk that guy. If he could run again it might have been the first time I voted Democrat.
