I'm not paralyzed by fear and I listen to the news all the time. But I listen more because I don't trust the government or the media and would like to piece together the truth as much as possible. And I like to know what stupid crap Trump does before it hits me.

Neat story about Rolle ... i remember him transitioning to a doctor career
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

I would just like to thank you for all of the updates you are posting.
I'm from Miami county and find it odd how such a rural county has so many more deaths than a neighboring county, Montgomery, where places like Dayton, Kettering and Huber Heights are located.

So for the last few days I've been searching my shop for my N95 masks. I found my dust masks. I found my cloth face masks. BUT I had 5 or more packs of N95 masks that I got for nothing or next to it a couple years ago that I thought were in my cabinet with the others.
After three days of me grumbling that I can't find them, my wife finally tells me she gave them away to my son when he started his new job last year... Apparently they supply masks where he works but he didn't like theirs as much as mine... fml

I just saw this. Yesterday they were saying he went to the hospital purely as a preventative measure. But I knew better.

So are the numbers down today in OH No. New confirmed cases and deaths are higher today than yesterday. 407 new cases, 23 deaths. 4450 and 142 total, respectively. We're starting the process where the acceleration is noticeable. I truly hope the new models are correct and we peak at only 70 or so deaths per day.

Update on my buddy: still in ICU, still sedated, still on 40% O2, but his kidneys are no longer working right, so they've got him on increased fluids and and saline to try to kick-start them.

Best of luck to your friend, Purp. Here is potential encouraging news. Click on the link to see the slides. A potential coronavirus vaccine funded by Bill Gates is set to begin testing in people, with the first patient expected to get it todayAndrew Dunn 9 hrs ago Healthy volunteers in Philadelphia and Kansas City, Missouri, will begin to test an experimental coronavirus vaccine starting this week. The small Pennsylvania-based biotech Inovio Pharmaceuticals received regulatory clearance to begin testing. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with other nonprofits, have poured funding into Inovio's vaccine project. The biotech expects to have early safety data by late summer and is aiming to produce 1 million doses by the end of 2020. A small Pennsylvania biotech company is planning to start injecting healthy volunteers with a potential coronavirus vaccine, after receiving regulatory clearance to start clinical testing. Researchers plan to dose the first person Monday. The experimental vaccine was developed by Inovio Pharmaceuticals, with the effort receiving funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. Inovio's candidate, called INO-4800, is the second potential coronavirus vaccine to start human trials in the US. The Massachusetts biotech Moderna started dosing in mid-March for its own safety trial. Anthony Fauci, the longtime leader of the National Institutes of Health's infectious disease unit, has repeatedly stated it will take at least a year to know if any vaccine is safe and effective against the virus. Never miss out on healthcare news. Subscribe to Dispensed, Business Insider's weekly newsletter on pharma, biotech, and healthcare. For the study of Inovio's vaccine, the company is enrolling 40 healthy adult participants in Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania's medical school and in Kansas City, Missouri, at the Center for Pharmaceutical Research. Each volunteer will receive two doses of the vaccine four weeks apart. Inovio expects quick enrollment in the study and safety results by late summer. If those results are positive, the company will quickly start another study focused on assessing the vaccine's efficacy against the virus. Given unprecedented global demand, any vaccine that proves to be safe and effective will face a major challenge in manufacturing. Inovio stated it is now scaling up its production capabilities and is aiming to have 1 million doses available by the end of 2020. These doses could be used in additional clinical trials or emergency use, if required.

lol... I'll probably keep her at this point.  She has done this several times over the years. I don't use something actively it's up for grabs and our son knows it. When he was younger and had first moved out on his own they would grocery shop in my cabinets and freezer. And until he got a decent job about 75% of his tools came out of my shop... So I'm used to it. But with the situation she was a little hesitant to tell me what happened.

What I'm afraid is going to happen is that we're going to start coming out the other side of this and folks will begin to clamor over how we "totally overreacted", "this thing wasn't that bad", and when it flares back up we're not going to take as severe a stance and we're going to get crushed.

It wouldn't surprise me. I hope your friend gets better. He certainly isn't what one would consider a typical candidate for this serious of a case. The only thing I think that may be good to come from it is a cautionary tale for those who think, "It can't happen to me".

Purp, But also if you look at flattening the curve, the hospitals will not get completely over run, but the curve will get elongated. And if people get a false sense of security on a dip, we will have a chance to spike back up until we get a vaccine or other measure to deal with this.

I posted the first couple of paragraphs of an article on CNN that now predicts less hospitalizations and about 82,000 deaths-If we keep business and schools closed until August. I don't think there is a chance of this. The link to the rest of the story is here https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/07/health/ihme-updated-covid19-model/index.htmlAdjusted coronavirus model predicts fewer people in US will need hospitals, but 82,000 will still die by August By Arman Azad, CNN Updated 7:27 AM ET, Tue April 7, 2020 yolanda harrison fabric of america (CNN)An influential model tracking the coronavirus pandemic in the United States now predicts that fewer people will die and fewer hospital beds will be needed compared to its estimates from last week. As of Monday, the model predicted the virus will kill 81,766 people in the United States over the next four months, with just under 141,000 hospital beds being needed. That's about 12,000 fewer deaths -- and 121,000 fewer hospital beds -- than the model estimated on Thursday. A "massive infusion of new data" led to the adjustments, according to the model's maker, Dr. Christopher Murray, who serves as director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Additional data on the pandemic's trajectory -- in the United States and around the world -- has always been expected, along with methodological changes to fine-tune the predictions. And from the start, researchers at IHME, who built the model, have emphasized that it would change. But the newest version of the model underscores just how important social distancing continues to be: It assumes that those measures -- such as closing schools and businesses -- will continue until August, and it still predicts tens of thousands of deaths. While the analysis has been repeatedly cited by Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus response coordinator, the administration's current guidelines only recommend social distancing through April 30.

They can't accurately predict any of this.
The numbers they have are only those that got tested, and those tested only got tested because they showed symptoms and met a health profile necessary.
There are probably 10-20x that number of people infected than what is being reported, and if your presume those that were infected and recovered without testing are no longer a carrier. That would severely alter the numbers when calculating predictions.
Not that predicting these things to better prepare ourselves is a bad thing, but often these "models" are used to stir up fear in the media.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

The fact your prolly right really is a shame ... even though over 10,000 people we share this country with will have died from this some will say we overreacted ... not sure how when 10k+ of us are killed by it how we overacted but that’s just me ... Here’s to hoping “they” have the chance to rip us for overreacting ...

My father-in-law was tested this morning and we're supposed to have results back tonight/early tomorrow. He's going through radiation right now, and got to the point he couldn't eat and was having a hard time breathing. He went to the hospital last night for that. This morning he had a 103.9 fever and was basically displaying all the symptoms of someone who has covid19. They have him on oxygen and an IV. He does feel better, but we're awaiting results. They see a spot in his lungs that could be a sign of an infection.

I just want to say that I thank God every time I open this forum and see that no one has responded to the "People we've lost" thread. I pray that it continues to be an unused thread.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
