    At this point testing really is more for isolation and trying not so spread it. I know there have been some antiviral therapies tried, but I haven’t researched this and I don’t really know if they have any real impact. I’ll have to research that more. If there is some effective therapy then...

    These types of political articles aren’t helpful. We need to depoliticize this whole thing. I will state my bias, I think trump overall has been a good president. BUT.....I am not his cheerleader, and I will look at everything he does and call out when he does things I think are wrong. I think...

    Thanks, will look into that. Just finished the first podcast. Tried monologue style first, wow that’s hard to talk by yourself. So pulled Jackie who is in medicine to for a dialogue style, much easier. But I must say it is much harder to create that it seems. I think it’s pretty good, but...

    @lowtek analysis is pretty rational. Don’t insult his contribution, he is pretty accurate is most the things he’s saying.

    I agree the vast majority of Americans are positioned to survive this. But I guess it depends on what you mean by OK. Many people will lose parents and/or grandparents. Some young people will lose a friend, colleague, partner, etc. Even though risk is low, every young person that gets sick has...

    Got some podcasting gear from guitar center. Just need to learn how to publish them. Initially I’m hoping to have discussions with people in foreign countries that are ahead of us. I think this will be very insightful In projecting what might happen here. And also to help provide...

    yes. I saw this video several weeks ago, so it is old. Who knows what’s really gone over there. Hopefully things are as they say as that will bode better for those in the beginning of their own epidemic.

    It is very true, but we go there all the time and the volume of people in there was probably at least 4-5x normal. Every car stall was filled, even the ones clear out by the car wash. The self checkout line was all the way back to the freezers and walk in fridge. Took us almost 1 hr to...

    it just occurred to me that this panic buying cycle is almost identical to the technology adoption cycle. Basically the preparers that began preparing and sticking up 2-4 weeks ago (or even earlier) were equivalent to the innovators on this graph. Those that started buying up supplies on the...

    Hey guys. I’m going to start a podcast to disseminate information about coronavirus. I’ve been getting blown up with emails and calls the last week. It’s all good and made me more informed. But I really want a way to share this with more people to help them be informed. I’m interested in...

    Ok, was watching FOX, they were reporting on the state of Arizona. And it’s horrifying how little testing has been done to date. To date there have been a whopping total of 143 tests in Arizona. ONLY 22 yesterday...

    There is near 0% probability trump hasn’t been tested, probably multiple times. trump has his own personal physician on hand all the time. His health is monitored constantly. When he travels there is an actual trauma surgeon that travels with him, I personally know someone that was a...

    actually, if you become infected you no longer quarantine for 14 days. You quarantine until recovered. This is reported to be 5 weeks on average. Ideally you quarantine until you receive 2 negative tests. Trudeau’s wife testing positive means they are in for a much longer quarantine. the news...

    I want to share somethings about vaccines, because I think that a lot of people are putting somewhat false hope out there for people. We have tried to fast track vaccines before such as Ebola, we still don’t have an Ebola vaccine. It’s super unpredictable. I keep hearing 18 months until we...

    I decided it was smart to go ahead and get a pair of oxygen concentrators. Total cost for 2 setups was $2500. This will provide high flow concentrated oxygen for 2 people indefinitely. This probably isn’t the right solution for a lot of people, but gives me the security to take care of my...

    To my Arizona peeps, aparently Mayo will be starting drive through testing tomorrow. I’ll give more details when I get more info. This is good news for the people in Maricopa. supposedly it’s is a PCR test, which should be very very sensitive even in early infections.

    Anyone quoting a rate of 0.6% loses my confidence as any sort of authority. I know many people haven’t read this entire thread, but that statistic is based on deaths/infected. The extreme majority of their cases at the moment are listed as active. If you did deaths/deaths + resolved, right now...

    I’ve been debating buying a couple 10L/min O2 concentrators. My parents are older mid 70’s and anyone could get sick. I just worry if we ran into an Italy situation where there were limiting care to older people who are sicker, I could just try to take care of them myself. I’ve heard pundits...

    Will be curious how that plays out for California. Probably the single worst state to have no restrictions. When this gets embedded into homeless population I’m willing to bet it becomes a huge problem for them. people living on top of each other, in poor sanitation, common smoking and drug...
