We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

This horse has left the barn. You can’t run, you can’t hide. You can’t even live off the grid in a cabin in the woods.

The good news is besides the intelligence branches, the government still has no clue on how to utilize this tech or the competent people to run the systems.

In the end we're just noise... aggregate data... another brick in the wall.

Seems a little unorthodox, but has any consideration been given in terms of our testing focus? It seems to only make sense to test really sick people when they are coming in because you want to know what they have and in most outbreaks the truly sick drive an outbreak. However, given rising evidence that the individuals that do not appear sick or have milder symptoms are driving this pandemic should our primary focus turn to them given our limited time and resources?

You could test the truly sick coming in for the other potential health issues that the sickness could be from. If they test negative on all of them, the assumption would be that they have it especially if they are exhibiting the classic symptoms. With the time and resources saved from diagnosing the truly sick, you could (1) test the ones would believe they have it, but are told to stay home and (2) test statistical samples of the population to determine the extent of the spread.

Certainly the numbers of positives from people showing up at the hospitals would not be dramatically different, but we would get a far greater understanding of the problem we are dealing with.

okay so if nothing changed then why are 10 million people suddenly out of work, you can't go to see a movie or eat in a restaurant, you can't go to the gym, my kid can't go to school and there isn't a fucking bottle of hand sanatizer in any grocery store in the country?

You'd need the capacity to test a large, random sample, and quite frankly, you need a test with much better sensitivity.

JFC, 1,314 deaths today. 800 of them out of NY and NJ.

I agree with all of this. My question is more focused on who we choose to test. What information at this time is of greater benefit to us in fighting this pandemic?

I think they're going about this the right way given limited resources. If they can flatten the curve, they can likely perform a large antibody test on a large, random sample that will have both the specificity and sensitivity we need. However, given that hospital occupancy is demonstrating/ near exponential growth, it is highly unlikely there was large community spread prior to late February.

Teams with the Missouri National Guard have evaluated Hy-Vee Arena, the Independence Events Center, Bartle Hall & the Adam's Mark hotel as possible temporary care sites due to the coronavirus.

Flew out of Bozeman Montana today and they have there army reserves testing anyone coming into the state now to put them under quarantine if they’re coming from certain states. Meanwhile Minneapolis Saint Paul still has a couple restaurants in the airport that people are sitting at the bar eating.

Also Delta made quite a few passengers sit right next to each other until the plane was fully boarded and they knew they’d have extra seats...plane wasn’t even 1/4 full. Very weird policy during these times some passengers were not too happy
