One thing we have going for us is our population density is nothing like China and Europe. Most of us don’t take public transport, etc. It’s way easier for us to isolate. 

Nobody is staying in the house all day though. People will find a reason to go out and come in contact with public places.

We are way more hygienic too.  Europeans accuse us of Americans of being germaphobes.  I had a really close friend in college that was a French foreign exchange student.  Great guy, but showered maybe 1-2x a week and frequently smelled of BO, especially on hot days.  He would tell me how crazy Americans were constantly freaking out about germs claiming Europeans were less sick from building up immunity because they weren't hand washing/showering all the time.

Absolutely, it can be done and I think it will be done. 
 

A lot of people think this is nothing more than the flu and we don’t need to take all these precautions. To me, that is what Tom is getting at. 

A lot of people don't understand that the normal flu we experience each year, that takes 20-50k people down, could be much worse without the flu shot.  In this case, no flu shot, that is why we need extra measures like mitigation, etc.

Not just that, its novel, meaning this is our first encounter with it and we have no immunity to it.  The flu of 1918 was so deadly partly because we had no immunity to it. The swine flu was the same strain so it wasnt nearly as bad as the first time

My father in law is a pediatrician. He saw a child today presenting with fever and flu symptoms. Mom (herself a doctor, this will blow your mind momentarily) was sick too. He asked her if they'd traveled anywhere recently. They just got back from Italy recently. Wait... what? The kid had been in school all day. Mom had been seeing patients the last two days having just gotten back from Italy presenting with these symptoms. The child's flu test came back negative. Waiting for the coronavirus results. FIL is self quarantining pending those test results.

The test came back negative.

i used to have a drinking problem, I overcame it, got through nursing school, and now work as a psychiatric/detox nurse to help others that have the same problem I had.   If anyone can relate to these patients and not treat them as inmates, its me  

kiss my ass

      Canales is holding us back

      By bandu · Posted

      so the current Carolina Panthers are a team that is in a similar situation that the 2022 Carolina Panthers were in about this same time exactly 3 years ago. & after the 2022 season & missing the playoffs because of a last game of the season loss to the Tom Brady led Bucs  Carolina Panthers brass then thought hey you know what we are just a Qb away from taking that next step & becoming a playoff contender in 2023 .so of course that's what the Panthers proceeded to do when they traded up to the #1 overall pick in order todraft Bryce Young .& here is history repeating itself as it often does & the Carolina Panthers are once again in a close race at the end of the season with Tampa Bay for the NFCS title in 2025  it's took what 3 years now to get back to where we started to begin with prior to drafting Bryce Young  &so tell me once again who is really holding this team back ? ...just saying hRi

      Well, looking at it now I would agree that he should cede some of his power and focus on being a leader of an entire NFL program and becoming a better strategist. And leave the details of implementing that to the people he has hired to work under him.  But I am just some guy that gets his info 3rd hand and works off of incomplete info, using assumptions to draw conclusions.
