28 new cases in ND yesterday.

1 age 60 and over'

27 under age 60.

That's good news.  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.

It's good news 27 ND residents with the virus are under 27?  No matter what age the virus causes long lasting effects on heart, lungs, kidneys etc.

Yea, because the risk of catching coronavirus while...[checks notes]...driving a 30+ mile loop in the badlands in your car or truck is so great.  

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.

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...

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)

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.

The point is to kick that can as far down the road as possible so they can get treatment figured out.

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.

FPD reported a 14% uptick in domestic abuse reports since beginning of March.

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.

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

You are correct,

Containment is not the solution/Elimination is the solution/Remember polio/Vacine is the elimination

just a guess but i'm thinking that a majority of community spread is from people being on either an airplane or the subway for extended periods of time whether its four hours to mexico on a plane or 20 minutes locked in a subway in nyc.
