Her blinking is how she keeps coronvirus out of her eyes. Like a cow's tail swatting flies. The psi of her lid-blinks is off the charts and can literally smoosh a microscopic coronavirus.

They've said many times that Dr. Birx is a retired Colonel.

So fauci said don't get tested unless you show symptoms. Doesn't that advice completely skew the whole data? It will be skewed towards testing those that show signs of sickness...

Yes.

We still have finite resources and the priority is on those who are symptomatic.

And, yet, a large number of those tested do NOT have it

Why aren't places sanitizing the masks? Might be a dumb question

I think what it is saying that at this point, don't waste tests given the high demand. It is triage at the moment.

The point of flattening the curve is to slow the acceleration and elongate the plateau of the life of the outbreak.

Good article, lengthy, but good regarding coronavirus data

And now banks will be left holding the bag on home loans that don't get paid. I'm guessing the government will begin to back these loans... sounds exactly like the fanny mae freddie mac housing fiasco that caused the last recession.

Economically, this panic shut down will hurt our economy for a long time.

But the curve is based on positive versus negative tests of the population. If sick people are the only ones taking tests, the curve is not accurate representation.
