It seems the state has done a great job of preventing a spread through the nursing house/assisted living communities so far. Those situations in Fargo could have been a huge mess. Hopefully they won't be.

You run a bigger risk of having your vehicle dented by an angry buffalo! And I’m sure they have to turn people away in droves after making the call. Total bs pr move.

No matter what age the virus causes long lasting effects on heart, lungs, kidneys etc. 27 residents under the age of 60, please follow along, Old Fella. Tell me more about these “long lasting effects” that we know of in this virus that we’ve had all of a couple of weeks/months to study. Tom Hanks recovered well enough to host Saturday Night Live... 2

No matter what age the virus causes long lasting effects on heart, lungs, kidneys etc. Do you agree with the "experts" that the vast majority of folks will get the virus at some point? If so, it's a good time for not-at-risk folks to get it when there is plenty of medical capacity to get any treatment they may need. Are you opposed to the strategy of flattening the curve? That seems to be the universal goal, not having no curve (which isn't at all realistic)

No matter what age the virus causes long lasting effects on heart, lungs, kidneys etc. Younger, less likelihood of other conditions, less likely to experience the full brunt of the virus, better likelihood of quick 100% recovery. Not sure where the long-lasting effects comment comes from. This hasn't been around long enough to know that.
homer Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Can’t believe the virus has caused people to suddenly start beating their spouses, abuse drugs and commit suicide.

If that is the goal, and we abandon the "flatten the curve" strategy, we are screwed. Batten down the hatches for the next 18 months while we wait for a vaccine I guess.

But it doesn't matter because they were in a bad relationship before this happened, kind of like having an underlying condition so the covid doesn't count. 1
802Sioux Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 I have to say it’s not like our economic situation would be perfectly normal if we didn’t have a lock down. The mess in New York and shutting down major packing plants would have gone a long way to crashing the markets. If there were no ban would anyone here be hopping on a plane to New Orleans for Jazz Fest for now? I wouldn’t have gone to the frozen four if they hadn’t cancelled it. The shut down may be making things worse but there was going to be big financial pain. Especially as people sheltering in place has slowed transmission. We would have had more sick people faster with all that would have entailed 1
Walsh Hall Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Sounds like some drug from Gilead is showing serious effectiveness. That would be phenomenal. DOW futures up over 700 on the news... Cross your fingers.

yzerman19 Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 Remdesivir is the one...it’s been considered for at least a month.
802Sioux Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 And it looks like it might be affordable to produce
