One last comment.. People are put on a ventilator for a reason, they are in such respiratory distress that they can't breathe on their own..So that means 100% of people would parish if sent home, so 87% actually looks pretty good and according to Cuomo it's about 80% that doesn't make it off...(state wide)

So what are the options? Let people suffocate to death right in front of you? I don't know what you can do in that scenario.. Maybe this drug everyone is touting? We have no therapeutic vaccines to my knowledge... At least on a ventilator more times than not you are in an induced coma, which at the very least prevents suffering... Unfortunately most people on a ventilator are going to pass anyway, maybe drug them up and make them as comfortable as possible in their last days especially if ventilators are making the situation worse..

Almost 1100 test to get those 50 positives lol Still 50 pending.. Social distancing is nothing new for most of Oswego county, comes with the territory lol

50 cases so far out of 120k spread throughout the county, couldn't ask for better results imo.. People have been taking this serious from day one.. Still no confirmed cases where I live in Albion twp..

Well if there is one positive i'm saving a shit load of money lol Not much to spend it on..

Well I don't like to get sick lol Not even the common cold..If you get symptoms it's gonna suck and for weeks lol Not a fun feeling to have your air way feel restricted..But to each their own..

We should just start injecting them with the covid-19 virus, they wanna get sick that badly, let them lol If they survive it they can go back to work.. Many of those people are old geezers anyway lol

I guess so.. LANSING, Mich. - A conservative group upset with the Michigan governor's restrictive shelter-in-place order are protesting Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Stay Home order in Lansing on Wednesday. The Michigan Conservative Coalition is organized Operation Gridlock in Lansing today. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people drove into Lansing and have surrounded the Michigan Capitol Building to create a traffic jam - a symbolic gesture of disagreement with Gretchen Whitmer's Stay Safe, Stay Home directive.

What are they protesting? Lol Restrictions put in place? Buddy of mine sent me a protest March for unemployment in Florida lol

Wouldn't surprise me to go OL first 2 rounds as they need a Center and they should get the"cream of the crop" early in the 2nd...

Yeah it seems most Giants fans want all world LB Simmons out of Clemson, young "should" be gone at#2..I agree about the OL in the first round, I think it will be the kid out of Iowa..He had one of the best combines ever for an offensive lineman..

8 more days, it should help to occupy the mind for a few days..

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered all residents that they must now wear masks or face coverings in public if they cannot stay 6ft apart as part of his 'blueprint' in reopening the economy which is based on how essential a shuttered business is and how successfully it can keep employees part. Cuomo signed the order regarding masks and face coverings on Wednesday and said people would receive civil violations if they do not comply. It will apply in any public space where social distancing is 'impossible', including in grocery stores, on public transport and on busy streets. Your right to go out for a walk in the park? Fine. Don't infect me. You don't have a right to infect me. If you're going to be in a situation in public where you may come into contact with other people and a situation, that is not socially distanced, you must have a mask or a cloth covering nose and mouth. That is by executive order,' he said. He later clarified that a person should go out with their mask and be prepared to pull it up over their nose and mouth if they come within 6ft of someone, but that they can leave it down, around their chin, if they do not. He is not yet imposing fines but says he has not ruled it out. People will be given a three day compliance period from now in order to get one, he added. Cuomo's 'blueprint' will involve reopening businesses based on how essential they are and how they can ensure that they will maintain social distancing among employees. He says that the crisis will not be '100 percent' over until a vaccine has been created which will take 12-18 months but that in the meantime, testing and tracing and then a treatment will allow people to get back to some sense of normalcy sooner. Deaths increased by 752 on Tuesday which brings the state's total to 11,586. That number however does not include the some 3,000 that were added to New York City's death toll because officials are now counting people who died without ever testing positive for COVID-19 but who medics fear had the virus.

Probably his press conference..

Business insider Old enough to drive a car? Then you would be old enough to receive $2,000 a month under a plan introduced this week by two Democratic lawmakers in the House of Representatives. Under the Emergency Money for the People Act, US citizens who are 16 or older — and make less than $130,000 a year — would receive cash payments from the federal government for at least six months and until unemployment falls to pre-pandemic levels

I just got my batch in today...Took about 2 weeks from China..These are the KN95 mask that are regulated by the Chinese government.. According to the CDC they have the same kind of performance as the N95..They are now "FDA allowed" in this country..They have plenty on AliExpress if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks or ordering from China..lol

The one positive is not many people like going out in the winter... Hopefully we see 300" and keeps everyone indoors

'I think we have to assume this is like other respiratory viruses, and there will be a seasonality to it,' Redfield said. 'The CDC is science-based, data-driven, so we don't know for certain until we see it. But it is critical that we plan that this virus is likely to follow a seasonality pattern similar to flu, and we're going to have another battle with it up front and aggressively next winter.'

President Donald Trump on Tuesday abandoned his push for 'total authority' to reopen the country and said he would leave the decision in the hands of the individual governors of each state. 'I will be speaking to all 50 governors very shortly. And I will then be authorizing each individual governor of each individual state to implement a reopening, very powerful reopening plan of their estate in a time in a manner which is most appropriate,' Trump said at his daily White House press briefing. 'The governors are responsible, they have to take charge and do a great job,' he said, a remarkable change from his angry tone on Monday, when Trump proclaimed he alone has the authority to reopen the economy, which is suffering in the wake of the coronavirus.

Yeah but those are considered "lag" numbers (deaths) with many of those people possibly on ventilators for weeks.. I'd like to see what the numbers look like in a few days and hopefully they start going down.. You can see the updated numbers during this morning news conference as well as the governors relationship with the federal government..(starts at min 35)

It's rare but it does happen.. Source

3 vaccines are already in human trials, over 70 total being worked on.. According to Pfizer they could have a vaccine in about half the time of the original 12-18 month time table..They aren't the only ones.. One of Britain's top scientists is "80 percent" confident that a vaccine for COVID-19, which has killed over 108,000 people globally, could be ready by September. Oxford University vaccinology professor Sarah Gilbert told the Times of London Saturday that “if everything goes perfectly" her team's vaccine could be ready by the fall, The Washington Post reported. “I know quite a lot about the Oxford project, and it is really great to see some hope, especially on the front page of the newspapers,” Matt Hancock, the U.K.'s health secretary, told the Post. Article about Pfizer last week.. Drugmaker Pfizer said Thursday that it is working on a promising treatment for coronavirus, as well as a vaccine. The drugmaker said preclinical studies showed that an unspecified compound that was originally used to treat SARS — a different coronavirus — has shown potential in battling the dangerous illness. Pfizer research chief Mikael Dolsten said the drug blocks COVID-19 from replicating, slowing the spread in mild or moderate cases, the Wall Street Journal reported. The company said it will conduct additional preclinical studies and plans to launch human trials in the summer. Pfizer also said it will support studies to determine whether its existing medicines, including its rheumatoid arthritis drug Xeljanz, may provide help for those suffering from respiratory problems from the virus. The drugmaker has also finalized a plan to work with German company BioNTech to develop a vaccine, which could be tested in human trials as early as the end of the month. The companies hope to produce millions of vaccines by the end of 2020. “I feel confident that we will win, battle by battle, to turn around this viral war against our society,” Dolsten told the Journal.

Not related to the coronavirus but a shock nonetheless.. RIP

The New York governor made it clear he would not obey any such order from Trump to reopen his state, adding he would take the matter to the courts to let them rule on it. 'If he ordered me to reopen in a way that would endanger the public health of the people of my state, I wouldn't do it. And we would have a constitutional challenge between the state and the federal government and that would go into the courts, and that would be the worst possible thing he could do at this moment would be to act dictatorial and to act in a partisan divisive way,' Cuomo said. The governor warned Trump could create a 'constitutional crisis.' 'The only way this situation gets worse is if the president creates a constitutional crisis. If he says to me, I declare it open, and that is a public health risk or it's reckless with the welfare of the people of my state, I will oppose it. And then we will have a constitutional crisis like you haven't seen in decades,' Cuomo said on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe.' 'I just hope he gets control of what he was saying last night and he doesn't go down that road,' he added.
