Will the travel quarantine pertain to those of us that want to to go to AZ this fall/winter so at least we can stand outside in line in warmer weather to get our government controlled rations of essential goods?

BTW this is not directed at you just found that part above interesting but that box has been checked thru April 30........ but my guess is Fauci on Easter Sunday will tell Trump "better make it thru Memorial Day just to be safe". Just read an article in the Forum "Scared, angry, hopeless". It's about those already out of work in this areas but nothing relevant there. Now reading "ND's rural hospitals face 'daily struggle' to make ends meet". States that ND's 36 rural hospitals operate on an average profit margin of 1.5%. Can't acute care patients in Cando just drive the 2 hours to Minot or GF? Where's the "potential" models for the number businesses and restaurants that will permanently close, bankruptcies, divorces, deaths by mitagating factors on the back side of this crisis? Apples to oranges right? Early estimates are another 2M jobless claims when report come out Thursday.

Kind of irrelevant now that we are locked into another 30+ days of federal "slow the spread" guidelines but I appreciate you checking in. Pop back in here on April 30.......we can count up all the businesses and restaurants locally that go under.

So let's say 2700 are going to pass away from this virus over 18 months.......but Burgum ended up flipping the lives of around 117k students K-12 upside down for how long??? He better see the big picture pretty soon.

Based on that model and the current death rate of 1.8% that is roughly 2700 deaths in ND over the 18 month span. 25 obits in Forum today. Say 20 deaths a day in this area and that's over 7000 in a year.......just in this area. Not the entire state. I think most reasonable ND residents will give this 3-4 more weeks tops of sitting at home doing nothing, not working before they say we need to get back to living.

San Francisco Chronicle reported this morning that the state of CA had 21M N95 masked stock piled. All of them are expired. All of them surpassed it's wear-by date.

19 weeks is a long time. 240 is alarming but still a lot less than 400.

The statistics are accurate. My verbage was not. My wording should been better as to say confirmed cases.....you are definitely correct there. As of yesterday morning 2.87% of those tested in ND were confirmed positive. Probably slightly higher today with new cases.

That's very alarming.....and I completely agree. For some perspective though if I may........worldwide as of this morning it has been 19 weeks since first confirmed case in China. The world is average 240 deaths per week over that time frame and that is with a death rate of 4.7%. That 240 is about 170 less deaths per week (estimated) than the flu season in this country. Also the current death rate in the US is 1.8% which is still high. 10 weeks since confirmed outbreak in US...... average weekly deaths is currently at 32. See above.........SD has one death. Go ahead and call them for an explanation

0.008% of SD residents have been infected. 0.27% of NY state residents have been infected. Most populated state CA has 0.014% infectious rate.

Cue the MafiaMan rant in 3...2...1

Says every HS student athlete in ND. What a travesty.

So if snowbirds leave PHX, stop in CO to see family then get back to ND is that then 28 days Mylynn???

I'd be better off having a misdemeanor record at Rikers...........

What if I'm just walking the streets in my Nick Schmaltz Coyotes jersey???

One thing not being mentioned is the severe loss in revenue to the healthcare systems in this country. Most systems will lose roughly a third or more of their revenue during the fight against COVID due to most outpatient visits are most non-existent. No elective or non-essential procedures are being done. If a multi-billon dollar system which operates on a small margin of +/- 3% loses that much revenue it becomes a challenge moving forward. Maybe yzerman and/or UND...MICH can speak more to this.

So you're saying clubs stay in storage and just keep snowblower out and ready for next October?

Interesting........I have heard a number of people with similar symptoms from late November to early January. Main symptoms........fatigue and cough. Most of those got influenza testing that was of course negative

Symptoms? My brother who travels abroad quite a bit for his job thinks he had it in early December.

He's your quintessential Never Trumper. He's got a huge poster of Alyssa Milano stapled to his ceiling above his bed.

Not yet. My guess.......2 weeks.

Hospitalizations are around 550K so far this flu season

A number of days this flu season. CDC estimated deaths this season is 24-62K. Median total is 43K. Flu season is 13-15 weeks.15 is 105 days. 43K divided by 105 is......on average 409 per day. It happens often.

Should have stated 83 positives out of 2892 tested so far in ND

For the week ending 3/21 there were 446 influenza cases reported in ND for that 7 day period. For the season thru 3/21 reported flu cases in ND are almost double from last season. 12285/6769.
