    Andrew Weill discussing Corvid-19
    Lot of hype, CDC is a great resource

    One of the things that drives Dr. Weil crazy is that people who are sick don't stay home- Amen!!!

    Me too, but I work in an office where people have the option. For a whole bunch of workers in the US, staying home means not getting paid, and not getting paid is not an option. This is going to get really interesting really quick if we start seeing more closings en masse of schools and workplaces.

    Sure, that makes perfect sense. Since we have such a complete and well-documented understanding of how the virus transmits itself, its infection rate, its mortality rate, and the disease's symptoms.

    IMBY content - Wednesday I start a 35 session run of radiation 1x daily through my vocal cords and so far no discussion of this from my oncologist. I am sure it'd be a completely different deal if I were getting chemo. I was doing that, had about zero white blood cells and caught the flu. That was fun. I can see why anybody that has anything that won't tolerate that kind of thing well would be a little nervous right now.

    1) what is the reinfection situation?

    2) if the entire world were to quarantine for a month at home, would everyone need to get infected or would the whole thing die off naturally?

    Well, that is the reason I'm just "wondering" about it.

    Respect. You have the right to be nervous. Everyone else shopping desperately on Cosco get the f outta here.

    First thing that came to mind when you mentioned lottery was a dead pool list. Morbid.

    But then again, we have an all-hands meeting for my day job at noon. I'm picturing the topic being: "We need a 3% headcount reduction. You've all been infected with C19. We expect the normal attrition rate to take care of this, so there won't be any involuntary lay-offs."

This will transfer germs from your hands to the mask where they will thrive in a warm moist environment.

    Avoid crowds. Wash hands. Two impossibilities if I leave our apartment in Manhattan. Might walk to pilates instead of taking the subway. 52 blocks?

    Not sure why I am in NYC right now actually. Except perhaps for delivery sushi and the density of high quality hospitals.

    Something sobering I heard on the radio about this idea yesterday is that the Spanish flu of 1918 actually claimed many more lives in 1919 after the summer season had diminished the virus somewhat for several months, only to return with a vengeance for the following winter season. Some say this could be similar.

    It's a bad cold. You may eventually get it. Ride your bike, and if you're smart, profit off market momentum driven by others' emotion. That is all.
