  1. I went back home from PA to NJ and can say like I came from different planet.
    Btw CDC stated death rate is .3, flu rate is .1.

  3. US start to test around 500k covid19 per day. I’m wondering how much we need per day.

    Density is the fuel for this virus. Montana should not be taking the same precautions as NYC.

    I get it, but we just need to flatten the curve not prevent every human from catching the virus. Just like we can’t prevent people from dying of cancer, car accidents, overdoses. So that being said, again Montana should have a different approach than say other more dense populated areas.

    Shutting down the economy was pretty much based on the numbers coming out of NYC, which is apples and oranges.

  9. Nicely formulated, you know what you stated, basically US was closed based on NY complications. Wow such a simple thought but such a great one. A big big mistake to close all states. You got it!

  10. Boy do I ever hope I am wrong. I would be VERY pleased to be wrong but I fear the stats are wrong..MASSAGED..incomplete...and things are only going to get worse during summer...fall and winter.
