He might as well impose suburb by suburb guidelines. That would make just as much scientific sense. Ie none.

I think the poster meant Dr. Birx, that's the one standing next to Trump in the Trump's briefings. We know Trump wants to end all the lockdowns and fill the churches at Easter.

Thank you - you helped me find her. Her name is misspelled even in MSM.

She's more politically motivated than Dr Fauci, bless him. I do not trust her, but I guess she'll have to do. I mean, she's mostly credible but her attitude is incomprehensibly optimistic to me. Placebo effect maybe.

Some states are going to go with Trump's advice and Dr Birx needs to be stern, the way doctors are when a patient needs to comply. Authority works in compliance, at least in medical settings, lots of research on that.

I think NY will do what is best for NYers (the next week is make or break for a true disaster in NYC) and other states will also protect their citizens, but we all know that some states will take the Open for Easter attitude. Business over health. From what I can tell, that's okay with a lot of people. Different nations are taking different policy attitudes as well.

If those universal DNR policies go into place, we may see a few people switching sides, but frankly, a lot of people are okay with the very elderly transitioning out of life. As for the collateral damage (people under 60 who end up dying for reasons unknown or because underlying conditions), well, that's just how it goes. (This is not my attitude and not the attitude of any medical professional either).

Oh no. We have surpassed Italy and China. We are Number ONE in the number of positives. I keep praying for the day when we have reached the top of the peak and the darn wave washes over the U.S. and we begin making our way out. This feels like a horror movie.

And they are for the majority in highly concentrated city populations like NYC and Los Angeles.

Florida, too.

Don't forget, the United States has a total of 327 Million people, too.

I'm going to predict "Low Risk" will have a strong association with the highest number of firearms / person.

Florida is going to be a mess. I have family in Central and in the Southern Gulf Coast. The governor refused to shut down beaches during the height of Spring Break until they were ridiculed in worldwide news showing large groups of young and old on the beaches near Miami. Everyone then went over to the Clearwater area and when he finally made an announcement for that area on a Thursday, he said he wasn’t going to shut down there until Monday. Clearly he was putting the economy before the health of his citizens. Now all the tourists are back home spreading the virus. The governor still has beaches open in the northern Atlantic coast and someone here mentioned that Mexico Beach in the panhandle is still open. They never shut down Bike Week in Daytona with over 500,000 people earlier this month and just a few days ago finally shut down the hotels in WDW.

Florida is also the home of the government surplus property auction site called GovPlanet., who had over 100,000 surgical masks, that last year they were selling for 25 cents each, and now auctioned off through a bidding war of several states for $26,000. Luckily, they got caught with their price gouging tactic at a time like this.

Jockey Castellano Tests Positive for COVID-19 - BloodHorse

the jockey WILL NOT BE RIDING AT GULFSTREAM - he will be in Quarantine. I am a big horse racing fan so I follow this stuff closely. Also, most tracks have closed: They don't know where the jockey contracted the virus, but it wasn't at that track.

Are the race tracks with casinos closed? All large gathering places here were ordered closed weeks ago. Even our high school sports play-offs had attendance restricted.

Oh remember the fervent discussion that the Affordable Care Act required "death panels"?
 
Coronavirus Global Health Emergency, 2019-nCoV

I read this below article today and I was surprised. I tried to run from from this horrible virus when it first came out. My family was freaking out a bit so I had to stay focused on them. I came in very late here. Now, after @JerseyGirl (thank you) reminded us of when this first began, I see this connection. My young granddaughter was the first one in our family to really catch onto it with vocal urgency. I remember her coming in and asking me if I knew how it started. She said a bat and a pig something. I don’t recall her exact words. My mind instantly transported to a movie about a rampant world virus where the ending reveals a pig eating bat poop behind a casino restaurant waiting for butcher. I can’t remember the name of the movie. Anyone know? Anyway, here’s the article:

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses. Some cause illness in people and others cause illness in animals. Human coronaviruses are common and are typically associated with mild illnesses, similar to the common cold.

COVID-19 is a new disease that has not been previously identified in humans. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people, and more rarely, these can then spread from person to person through close contact.

There have been 2 other specific coronaviruses that have spread from animals to humans and which have caused severe illness in humans. These are the:
  1. severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV)
  2. Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS CoV)

Dr. Deborah Birx: Coronavirus data not matching extreme predictions

The White House response coordinator for the coronavirus task force said Thursday that extreme predictions about the pandemic don't line up with the incoming data, while also pushing back against unfounded rumors that could alarm the public.

Dr. Deborah Birx said 19 of all 50 states with confirmed cases have low levels of the outbreak.

“When people start talking about 20 percent of a population being infected, it’s very scary," she said during Thursday's White House briefing. "But we don’t have data that matches that based on the [actual] experience.”

Birx also pushed back against rumors of changes to do-not-resuscitate policies, saying such falsehoods could scare the public. Hospitals across the United States are reportedly discussing the possibility of a blanket do-not-resuscitate policy for infected patients to prevent the virus from spreading.

"There is no situation in the United States right now that warrants that kind of discussion," Birx said.

I don't care what Trump decides or even what the Governor of my state decides, I'm going to continue to stay at home and stay safe until I see how this all shakes out. I will give it at least 3 weeks and see how it goes. I have a very uneasy feeling about the next few months even though there is no Covid 19 in my county or even in the neighboring counties. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
 
UK....obviously they are not believing the guy today who massively reduced the UK forescast...watch what they do, not what they say....

"Nurses will be transferred to London from other parts of England under NHS plans to help hospitals in the capital facing a “tsunami” of Covid-19 patients within days, the Guardian has learned.

In an unprecedented package of measures, the NHS will also ask doctors to sleep on site for six weeks at the newly-built Nightingale hospital, scrap limits on the number of patients nurses can look after in intensive care wards, and explore whether ventilators intended for one person can be used for two.

NHS England has also asked its network of regional chief nurses if they can spare any of their staff, especially those specialising in intensive care, to work in London during the peak of the pandemic – expected to start early next month.

The moves emerged as the total number of reported deaths in the UK rose to 578; one official said the NHS faced an “extreme surge” of seriously ill patients early next month.

The plans are part of a series of measures drawn up in recent days by senior officials from NHS England’s London region and disclosed to the Guardian.
