Actually he says 10 to 12 weeks for most non-immune, non-infected low risk workers to return to work. That puts his suggestion 3 months away assuming the testing takes place. You good with that?

Also some of his assumptions are based on a recent study from China. Well how do we feel about trusting that data set?

I think it’s likely we develop immunity (but of course the virus will probably mutate)

If we don’t develop immunity, we are wasting our time in shutdown as we can’t afford to do so until a vaccine is developed.

More than this. In Italy we already had people reinfected.

Anxious though he may be to get people back to work (like most of sane people), he is not recommending that those under 60 go back without testing. And as Paul indicated, his time period for testing is extremely optimistic. But let's go with it. He is still not saying a few weeks. Just add his numbers up.

His approach is similar to the approach by AEI and the White House CV Task Force. Wait for it to peak, and then verify in community by community, ease restrictions and then test and tract to maintain. Again, this is not projected to happen in a few weeks.

My hope is that the overwhelming majority of people in the US follow the guidelines and that this in turn cuts the numbers and the time line. But we shall have to see the data.

Stay safe.

This is an excellent article on how it is often true that not all exposures to this are equal. It is something I have wondered about for some time, and this piece summarizes it very well.

the Coronavirus outbreak thread

We were in Costco yesterday and there was no evidence of a TP shortage. Pallets available of Charmin and the store brand. That said. One of the chain grocery store was still low. Just a few packages on the shelves.

One of the interesting reads after this is after this is over is TP demand will plummet.

The medical and scientific community is highly skeptical of reinfections.

Worst case estimates is that we should get a minimum of a few years of immunity, and it could be much longer.

It’s tough to sort out truth from mistake in all the chaos.

After initially unravelling completely it seems to have partially rerolled. Not a problem for me. I installed a Kohler washlet seat about 2 months ago so I'm TP free.

Possibly... but I think they simply didn’t realize how contagious the virus is... nor the full benefit of the mask protection

I believe the masks helps overall due to the fact that lotta people don’t know if they have the virus or not. And in crowded and confined areas like subways or even elevators, one infected person can infect everyone around them. Not just by coughing... but also by talking (u will be surprised how much people spit when they speak)

If everyone wore a mask in public area, it would definitely slow down the spread of the virus.

Be safe everyone

the Coronavirus outbreak thread

A few days back I mentioned how quite the skies were with the 70% reduction in airplane traffic overhead.

Today, I noticed something different.

Did you notice that there are no more (or drastically reduced) election campaign ads on the networks, internet, radio, etc?

I’m not sure if this also happened in USA and across the world but in the UK at 8pm last Thursday and this evening people stopped what they were doing and applauded the Medical carers/doctors/nurses etc.

I live on the outskirts of a large English city with views over it and this evening my family stood on our doorstep and joined in.

A really loud uproar of people near and far clapping, cheering, beeping horns and letting off fire-works – a properly moving experience.

Needs to be a national defense directive to all consumer apparel companies to make masks. Brooks Brothers has done this already.

Government issued masks at cost ($1 or less) at Wal-mart/CVS/Target parking lots each week with the presentation of a valid driver's license.

Significant penalties for non-mask wear outside home ($5000 fine) enforced by national guard and local police. Same thing with employers.

This isn't different from what is happening in China/Taiwan etc.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/01/asia/...hnk/index.html

Writing last month, Adrien Burch, an expert in microbiology at the University of California, Berkeley, noted that "despite hearing that face masks 'don't work,' you probably haven't seen any strong evidence to support that claim. That's because it doesn't exist."
In fact, there is evidence of the exact opposite: that masks help prevent viral infections like the current pandemic.
Burch pointed to a Cochrane Review -- a systemic analysis of published studies on a given topic -- which found strong evidence during the 2003 SARS epidemic in support of wearing masks. One study of community transmission in Beijing found that "consistently wearing a mask in public was associated with a 70% reduction in the risk of catching SARS."

Simple math. You wear a mask, I wear a mask. My probability of getting infected is reduced by 1 - (0.3 X 0.3) = 91%

Go back to work in May with protection. Isolate the old and immuno-compromised. Be like Japan (world's largest aging population but low deaths/infection) - be a ninja. Even better, be a Fatninja

This may make sense as the advertiser or in this case the election campaign may not want to be associated with all the negative news. Negative by association.... I’m guessing

The link you posted isn’t working but I’m guessing you may have meant the White House may ask or require Americans to wear masks when outdoors. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trum...ry?id=69914514

I think until we know who was asymptomatic or mildly infected, and has recovered successfully, the idea of simple masks makes sense.

Good on BB for doing their part - I had not heard that. But as you know they are in a tiny minority of brands who still make clothing in the US.

The NE Pats just flew in 1 million N95’s from China in their team plane.
