Re: Covid 19
Not gonna get involved in the bickering. Having been a career Fire Chief, you quickly learn in these types of situations to garner the facts and act in a manner to keep everyone as safe as possible. FWIW, the numbers are increasing and it seems like they will continue to increase into the foreseeable future. I wake up every morning and check the following webpage from ARCGIS, it gives a very real time report and map of just how global this thing has become. Until the numbers start going backwards, I will continue to protect in place and reduce my families risk. Unfortunately in my area, caregivers in hospitals are now starting to become victims. https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

I should add, Dear Leaders true allegiances will come out now. If he has lost the $$$’s in the financial markets and economy that were his tool for reelection he will stop downplaying and quickly shut this country down.
Re: Covid 19
Thanks for your thoughtful post LT. Agreed, engaging in a "political rock fight" is not expedient.
As neuropsychology professor, I've been researching COVID-19 viral RNA, and the synthesis of the polyprotein that produces the transcription signal sequence binding the CoV-19 to membrane receptors which are particularly vulnerable in lung tissue. The transcription works through the replication-transcription complex (RCT) organized in double-membrane vesicles and via the synthesis of subgenomic RNA coding sequences and then enters the body primarily through the respiratory system.
In other words, this thing is wicked man. It's like the virus has a "secret code" or counterfeit key that can unlock ion channels and then rapidly replicate in the intercellular space. This is an incredibly difficult transcription code to crack because it is atypical of previous CoV viral genome sequences. The most efficient antiviral compound IMO is one that "jams" the signal sequence and thus prevents it from replicating. That will take time to construct.
Most likely, a devastating spike in cases will hit the US very soon through community transmission. Stay safe and stay vigilant.

Re: Covid 19
Thank you for an intellectual post. My daughter is a RN at a large hospital nearby, and she keeps stressing its the potential of this virus is what has them worried. Their frequent daily internal briefings are "darker" each day.........

Re: Covid 19
This was a wonderful post. There is a more sane thread on the other side where this would be most appropriate.
Re: Covid 19
Thank you for your research and your work in trying to stop this virus. I thought two hurricanes hitting my City in two years was the worst that I would have to endure. This is a whole different ballgame. Stay safe.

Finally caught up on this thread. Learned a lot about the virus from SteveO and that chickod is a complete moron.

Re: Covid 19
You know how I voted? How? Have the voting machines been hacked?? I'm flattered you cared enough to go to the trouble of finding out, but remember in the United States our ballots are - secret!
Remember, I said, classic liberal. I believe in free speech, free markets, free trade, free thought, freedom to do what we want as long as it does not affect others, limited government. And an anti communist! Sadly, what we call a "liberal" today does not believe in any of these. Our liberals today lean more towards being socialist/communist/totalitarian.

why name call? why not say "I disagree". times are tough, let's have civil debate.

Re: Covid 19
SteveO, can we copy/paste this into Facebook streams where my befuddled Ohio kuntry kusins insist on calling this just another case of the flu? Thank you for the insights.

Re: Covid 19
Keep it civil, IMHO. It's funny. When I hear or see someone, whose only argument is "he / she is an idiot" "is stupid" "a moron" etc I almost immediately discount their argument. If you don't have the intellect to debate your case civilly , you aren't worth my time.
Because he can't DOPEslap?
I get it though. Keep it civil.

Re: Covid 19
No, I remember you coming into the forum and celebrating when Sarah Palin was named the running mate.
What you described is not a liberal. That is a libertarian
libertarian
[ˌlibərˈterēən]
NOUN
an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.

Re: Covid 19
Liberal is improving society through government involvement, libertarian is without government involvement. At least any of both categories that I know think that way. Both want freer societies but through different means.
