Some truth in that, why Ellis Island was the first stop.The Public Health Service started as a branch of the Navy, too, enforcing quarantines..

Better start preparing the deadly memes, but hold your fire a bit until the Dems are more committed to making him the nominee. Then pull the trigger when they can't regroup.

And extra rainy, interspersed with warmish days, but only 80 tops.

He came from China and was quarantined after only a few days, so he didn't have much contact, and people started distancing soon. Schools have been closed 3 weeks, lots of restaurants, the traffic is down

If aspirin and digitalis were discovered now instead of over 100 years ago, they would have a hard time getting approval because of side effects.

They should be scared that their students might get pushed to look at contrary views while they are doing what students do, cruise the nets looking for something to use. Probably relying on Google, which means they get a left bias, so the problem is to steer them to the right news.

Scale. Consider how close he appears to be standing compared to the size of the books and the perspective angles. Look at either him or the books a while until your attention is blotting out the other part: then quickly shift your gaze. You will feel like too big a jump.

More evidence that he is Plan C for the Dems, make him the hero of the virus problem.

Also put in funds for the gig workers who are now out of work thanks to California's bill "protecting workers"(TM).

I know nothing about stock trading. But I can read that this move tanks the futures market until an auto cutoff stops selling. Who will be the big beneficiaries from that?

So 350 of them were young children, even ages under 9, and 1 died. Then the rate goes up slowly then holy cow. This is somehow the weirdest thing to me, how it rises.

Infections in millions maybe, deaths under 1000. Riskiest people are the homeless of course. This is where the NG and FEMA bases could be very useful.

Yes. He's been working for the govt. since Reagan. He managed by being nice to everyone. Also, caregivers are supposed to be on everyone's side equally as an ethic.

If it can affect people it can affect any age. Just because more older people got it doesn't mean young ones can't at all. I have my own theory on why things got so bad in China, Iraq, and Italy for older people, namely because most old people have high blood pressure, all these countries can and probably do offer ACE blockers because they are cheap and effective, and ACE blockers cause increased histamine in the airways and lungs, which is why Losinipril causes a cough. Just contributing a little insult to add to the other inflammation, maybe the last straw for someone. Another common HTN drug, Losartan, makes angiotensin II receptors less avsilable and might have a similar small preventative effect. It should be looked into

Ha ha, I went to the fancy store yesterday because Walmart is out of meat and learned they have this program--from 5 to 6 a.m. on Wednesday. This senior isn't going out at 4:30 for anything. They were selling beautiful steaks at Walmart prices all week anyway. What they were short of was eggs, canned vegetables, flour, rice. There was a sad looking hispanic guy checking out a small bag. I suspect more affluent people are the hoarders and the poorer plebs are eating candy.

I'd say they are doing it right. First, it isn't generally possible to know which of several comorbidities contributed the final insult to push the patient over. Second, how much is it going to matter? You already have statistics enough to predict how long a cancer patient, a heart patient, a heart patient with cancer, etc. will live. It will be a range with increasing probability of death as time goes on. However, when you have a bunch of people, and they all have this one common factor, virus infection, and they are all dead short of their expected lifespan, be it ever so short already, you can be pretty sure that a lot of those final insults are due to the virus and it is quite fair to attribute the death to the virus. This is "excess mortality/morbidity." The countries that are trying to pass the excess off to co-existing problems are still going to have an excess, it will just look like a bad period for cancer, etc, patients. Over the scale of a year, if these deaths are dispersed like that and if it doesn't increase too much, the excess will get smoothed over, but it will not disappear.

Search algorithms really break down from sudden mass interest. Use a different search engine like Bing or a foreign one, and search first by date, e.g. "2005 chloroquinine." I know that in 2005 it was journalized as effective against SARS. By the Chinese. Once you can find anything past the current bump of stories, try expanding from any detail like author, journal, place that is mentioned in your find. e.g. 2005 Sum Ting Wong.
