Don't let your monkey mind get the best of you. Statistically you'll be fine and see Saban win another NC.

Then you shut the economy down and have massive layoffs and entire industries like restaurants and tourism abandoned and we are headed for a riot in the streets crisis
Those businesses who were holding on and hoping for a ramp back up in 2 weeks are going to layoff people tomorrow. Might as well save that two weeks of pay you were going to try to help your people with since in the end, you can’t help them and will fold.

Nobody is going to cook at home for a month once this is lifted, restaurants should bounce back quick. Tourism is going to be down for a long while, cruises in particular are going to have bad name for a long time.

Well, the 3rd and 4th case was today in Pointe Coupee this evening. Both are in a Nursing home.

Restaurants and retail will be the first to bounce back. I have a hard time seeing people travel in any meaningful way for a long time. International flights will be the last thing to be released. Sports and activities with large groups of people won't happen until we have a known vaccine/treatment.

Real talk. What do you think the likelihood of football season being cancelled is? Our country would go into a collective depression.

High.

When would they make that call? I guess if no vaccine they’ll cancel? This will be financially detrimental to big football schools, among other things. I’m already depressed with this, I cannot imagine having to forgo football.

At the very least it’ll be shortened

Don’t know if you can have any type of mass gatherings or even players traveling without restrictions from the virus. That’s the crazy part, there is so much damn unknown with this thing.
I really can’t imagine not having football in the fall, but never thought I’d see the day that march madness would be straight up cancelled too.

Right. This makes me furious towards the Chinese government. This is going to change the way the world does business and deals with that country. I have zero problem with Chinese citizens and people, but their government is evil. They will have to pay.

It's not dependent on a vaccine. There won't be a vaccine available for over a year. What we will need, in order to have a football season:
1) Widespread testing. If we have identified most cases of the virus and helped and largely controlled it, then we can think about football. I think that this is likely. Warmer weather will help.
2) Successful treatment options. If there's no drug treatment for the virus by the fall, it's going to be hard to open up stadiums and risk people's lives.
3) Serious health measures in place. You'd have to have someone with a thermometer testing everyone before they enter the stadium to make sure that they don't have a fever. You'd give everyone a hand sanitizer packet and have them use it before they touch the handrail that everyone else is going to touch. Etc.

What’s funny are the self righteous ones who are holding their nose in the air and lecturing people to stay home, but they’re still going to work everyday and out and about themselves.
Individual business owners for example (with that attitude) ... who offer a service that requires them going home to home, etc.. telling others to stay at home, but because it doesn’t personally affect THEM and THEIR pocketbook, in their minds it’s still okay for them to keep riding around town all day.

I dont see how this could be remotely accurate. Alcohol, excitement, people walking considerable distances from their car in hot weather...

We are actually seeing a fair amount of patients without fever or cough, too, but lungs completely trashed in CT. Their o2 sats are low but that’s really the only physical finding beyond imaging.
IMO, o2 sat screening in conjunction with temperature screening would be most effective

Zinc has been known for ages to interfere with viral adherence to cells, can’t hurt but dunno how much it’ll help at this point
I keep 50mg zinc on-hand for when colds creep up on me, but is it worthwhile to take it as a prophylactic? Is 50mg too much for that purpose?
