In my state it is called a "Stay at Home" Directive by our Governor. It allows going out for essential items like medicine, Doctor visits or Grocery shopping. No family, friends, or personal visits at all. Masks and gloves while not mandatory are highly recommended as are the use of hand sanitizers.

Any violation of this Directive can result in a fine of $5,000 USD or 1 year in prison or BOTH. Pretty serious here.

The wife & I are doing well.

Yous should also know WorldOmeter shows, of all cased closed in USA, 40% die. That means basically 1 in 2 people die that get CV in USA!

No Lock, 40% would mean 4 out of 10 or 2 out of 5 people would die. 1 out of 2 would be 50%.

NBC numbers indicate a total number of confirmed cases (currently in treatment or undergoing quarantine) compared to those who have died. That percentage is more accurate and shows about 4.8 % compared to the WorldOMeter's same comparison of 4.2% of deaths.

Now the thing that is equally sickening would be some of the political folks trying to affix blame as to when it was known, who knew it first and did nothing and why and blah...blah...
Come on...this is not the issue. People need to put that crap aside and quit trying to discredit each other and work for the common good, if that's even possible! Come on Robots. Work on your own AI to do away with these idiots!

But it says 40%, not 4%, 40% of 100% of Americans that get CV die. Do you object?

Unfortunately https://ncov2019.live/ shows different stats, that Italy has like 70% die as the outcome.

Another way to look at it is the front page, 21% that get it die.

Recovery could be a long road. If 1,000,000 rain drops spawned over a skyscraper with an area 5% that of the ground, and each drop took 4 seconds to become level with the top of the skyscraper, and 40 seconds to reach the ground, how would the distribution of raindrops in the air/roof/ground change over time?

1-4 seconds 1,000,000 infected, 0 deaths, 0 recoveries

4-40 seconds 1,000,000 infected, 50,000 deaths, 0 recoveries

40-50… seconds 1,000,000 infected, 50, 000 deaths, 950,000 recoveries

The ratio of deaths to recoveries first rises, then falls. Since the rainstorm keeps intensifying the newest ratios have the most numbers and therefore carry the most weight. These ratios have a some of the 4-40 second effect on them.

One of the problems with looking at the percentage of infections is that many people who are infected are not diagnosed as such unless they display severe symptoms.

No matter how bad COVID-19 may be, there are plenty of other things that are much worse and much harder to avoid.
It's not a contest, but a sum. I'm not sure if this needs explaining to anyone but we get the virus deaths on top of the "normal" deaths. A real and present danger is that as hospitals become overrun with virus patients, more people with "normal" life-threatening conditions will die simply because there are not enough beds or doctors or medicine left in the health care system.

The Netherlands is in what the prime minister has branded "an intelligent lockdown" (roll eyes here), i.e. a lockdown with day-by-day changing measures, constant moral support on the radio, and only fines when 3 or more people are gathered without keeping 1.5m distance from eachother, so we can still go outside as long as we avoid proximity. We have hospital intake rates back under control after the initial exponential surge, but I expect it will drag on for months, and in the meantime somebody still has to bake bread. The economy I am not concerned about: That'll spring right back up when lockdowns end. It's not like people will suddendly have learned to live in frugality.

Meanwhile a certain American president is playing a game of pin-the-blame-on-somebody-else and defunding health organisations. It's time to vote for someone better.

I myself am doing okay, I applied for a temporary job to make respiratory machines for hospitals. I may not pick up a gun to kill soldiers but I'll pick up a screwdriver to save lives.
CO2 retains heat. More CO2 in the air = hotter climate.

"At Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, Dr. Nicholas Caputo followed 50 patients who arrived with low oxygen levels between 69 and 85 percent (95 is normal). After five minutes of proning, they had improved to a mean of 94 percent."

We still have "enhanced community quarantine" here which means wearing a mask, carrying a quarantine pass, and having a good reason to go out if you want to avoid being arrested. We just learned that it has been extended by another two weeks until the middle of May.

I hope you are able to keep the gains that you have made and that you don't have to go back into lockdown.

This study shows a significant reduction in Covid 19 severity in people with higher vitamin D levels. It's especially pertinent now, since many of us are stuck indoors, and can't synthesize vitamin D from the sun.

Orange juice is fortified (added) with Vitamin D but many types of fish like salmon, herring & sardines are rich with vitamin D.

One can also buy over the counter vitamin D supplements. O0
