I suppose if you work as a fisherman, or live within 250 feet of fishable water and walk your dog with your fishing pole. O take your boat out of Miami waters and sleep on it.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

At least 281 people have died from coronavirus across New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio said during a news conference Thursday.

About 21,873 people have been confirmed to have Covid-19 in the city, he said.





I would love to see the clinical and epidemiological information on these people.

US now has more infections than China.

I don’t know what to make of that briefing

I live in Miami, I havnen't heard of anything yet?

Oh please give details I missed it!!!

That Italian mayor that did the whole "hug a Chinese to prove you aren't racist" twitter campaign, I can't remember which of the impacted cities he's mayor of. He did that stunt a week or so before the case numbers started going up like crazy.

Has anyone seen anything more from that guy?

Number of patients on ventilators "more than doubled" in past three days, NYC doctor says

Dr. Craig Smith, chair of the department of surgery at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, said the number of patients on ventilators at his hospital “more than doubled” in the past three days.

“We have not exhausted our existing supply of ventilators but if we keep doubling every three days, we might,” Smith wrote.

Smith said the increase is placing pressure on ICU capacity, and that operating rooms have been converted to ICUs, and an entire 36-bed floor has been renovated to be converted to ICU space.

Smith said a call went out yesterday for doctors to volunteer to staff ICUs and within a few hours, 20 surgeons volunteered.

US sees record number of coronavirus deaths today

At least 237 additional coronavirus deaths were recorded on Thursday across the United States, according to CNN's reporting.

This marks the deadliest day for reporting of US cases, according to CNN.

On Wednesday, there were 233 total death cases reported during the full day, CNN reported.

In total, there are at least 1,175 deaths from the coronavirus in the United States.

Interesting. But not surprising.

"Sununu noted that this is not an order to shelter in place, something he said he does not have the authority to do. He said no one's prevented from leaving their homes, transportation isn't shutting down, and the state's borders are not closed. All state beaches on the Seacoast will also be closed effective Friday night."

"We cannot stress this enough. You should stay at your house unless absolutely necessary. Of course we will not prevent you from leaving your home to go on a walk or when going to the store, or if you need groceries or are simply going to work. But beyond essential necessities, you should not be leaving your home," Sununu said.

The governor said the order will be in effect until May 4.

I did not watch it all because it seems like the same regurgitated rhetoric, with a few nuances sprinkled in. I cannot tell if he's distracted or overly-scripted.

This got my attention when he was referencing supplies - "fully stockpiled." Not "fully stocked" he used the word "stockpiled".

He is not an uneducated man. Context, and the words chosen, need to matter. And, maybe I'm reading too much into it.

I don't know any dogs that can suffice with a 250' walk. Wouldn't it be better to just let ppl walk around the block instead of having them stand outside stressing out & begging their pooch to poop???

China reports deeply disturbing coronavirus development

[snip]

However, new research has shown that there could be a second wave of infections looming.

As many as 14 per cent of recovered coronavirus patients in China have tested positive again, according to medical experts.

Research showed that between three to 14 per cent of patients were diagnosed with the coronavirus, after already being given the all-clear.

[snip]

In another briefing, deputy director of the Guangdong Centre of Disease Control and Prevention, Dr Song Tie, reportedly said there is no clear conclusion on why this happens and whether such patients could still be infectious.

The patients in Wuhan showed no symptoms after testing positive again, according to research done by the Wuhan medical.

The researchers also found no evidence they were still infections, as family members all tested negative.

New Hampshire isnt under any orders for stay home. Gov. Sununu straight up said, I can't make anyone stay home. I'm asking you to. No governer has the power to close borders. Borders are still open. Non essential business are closed by 11:59pm Friday.

And its only in effect til May 4th. Not end of May. You should find better sources OP.

I would 200-400 ppm bleach solution it (calculations can be found online). Let them stand in the solution for a few minutes. Air dry. Rinse. Eat. Should be good at that point.

Or peel them, cut them up into your favorite vodka solution, wash hands. Enjoy some vodka infusion. :)

Good morning.

There is a lot of hubbub about Neil Ferguson's "revised model." Of course, it's out of context, and accepted without actually reading the quote of Dr Ferguson by the 'nothing-tards.' Below is a repeat of my response when asked about it.
