None of what you posted is remotely accurate but thanks for posting. The asymptomatic rate is estimated to be between 30-50%. The incubation period is extremely long. A person starts showing flu symptoms in 1-4 days. For COVID19 it is 5-14 days. Meanwhile they are contagious during at least part...

Good article from Nate Silver on why case counts are not a good statistic to follow. Uses the same underlying data for 4 different scenarios based on the testing that is occurring. Depending upon what type of scenario you are in you get very different results in positive cases and almost all...

I agree with the thought that once you have 1 positive case among players it is over. That's also part of the reason I am getting more convinced that it may never start. All these leagues ultimately have some responsibility to everyone that plays the games, everyone that helps put them on, and...

I disagree with this. This is a very short-sighted rationale. This is not a US problem. This is a World problem. If we don't all work together then it will be worse for all of us. If you prevent companies from filling orders they have with other Countries, then other countries may choose not to...

Not really that shocked. The 3 Georgia counties are around Albany which is already well known as a huge hot spot. The areas in LA are actually not small counties like in GA. They are mostly the parishs around New Orleans. Mortality rates will likely be worse in smaller, rural communities as the...

MLB is looking into possibly trying to quarantine players and anyone else needed to play a game and have games at spring training sites with no fans. They are not anywhere close though to working out the details where they could restart. Also, from the SEC today The SEC has announced that all...

NBA and the Players Union now appear to be switching from trying to play this year to cancelling the rest of the season and trying to come up with a plan that allows them to have a season in 2021...

FWIW, I think the season looks less likely by the week. Certainly the idea of a full season, and possibly even a partial season, NBA is now starting to give up on the idea of resuming this season and instead is working with the Players Union to try to figure out a way to best plan for hopefully...

I don't think the doctor's story is an opinion. it is a fact. I think the story of it being made up in a lab is an opinion with no basis in fact. Try not to confuse an opinion with a fact.

I take the numbers as even if you practice strict social distancing, at least in the short term the best outcome is leveling of the curve, not even bending it back downward. So the question that Spain and Italy will likely help answer is once you start mitigation how long until you can start to...

I explained that days ago - from a dcotor, The Coronavirus' are all virus' that start in birds. At some point this virus mutated from a bird into another animal. From there it mutated in November where it went from an animal to a human. Then it mutated where it could be transferred from human to...

So let me give you the take home points. 1) This virus is bad. I have never felt this sick before in my life. I'm nearing fifty and I have controlled hypertension, 25 pounds overweight, and controlled atrial fibrillation. I exercise almost daily. That's pretty much healthy. Trust me, I am a...

Tylenol is a wonderful drug. It was the only thing that helped break the fevers. Every patient on my ward was needing Tylenol around the clock. On Day 4 the hospital had run out of 325mg tylenol tablets and were using 500mg tablets at six hour intervals to conserve resources until the pharmacy...

Now, a harrowing, personal, first-hand account worth reading... You’ve been warned. PS- This dude’s a doc. Now that it's been 15 days and my wife and kids remain asymptomatic, I can now tell my coronavirus story. I was wrong. I had seen it before. Media had sensationalized the news. SARS was...

Here is a good article on how COVID19 attacks your body. https://theconversation.com/what-the-coronavirus-does-to-your-body-that-makes-it-so-deadly-133856

Sorry, as of right now this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory with no real basis in fact. in your very first quoted sentence there is “no basis to suspect the virus was engineered,”

It was mentioned briefly in GA's 7 pm update last night but here is the first article on the 58 nursing care homes in GA that have Coronavirus outbreaks. https://www.ajc.com/news/state--regional-govt--politics/coronavirus-cases-now-reported-georgia-senior-care-facilities/BRPt7AIobRRAYKvw3SF6aJ/...

FWIW, there is a new study by a professor and his colleagues at MIT looking at the effects of the 1918 pandemic. In particular deaths and economic activity. Their basic conclusion is that in 1918 the cities that started mitigation efforts the earliest and kept them in place the longest had both...

More data fun. Goggle has Comminuty Mobility Reports now available. They have them for most countries and for the US they have them for each state and each county within a state. They measure change in activity from a baseline. % change in going to parks, going to grocery stores, going to...
