It is cryptic often by choice, good observation.

Let me partially decode this particular subject,

I chose not to explain/answer the previous questions further, nor explain why.

In any profit-driven industry, spending capital (money) on capacity you're not likely to ever use can be considered a waste of money.

I've always felt that any operation/business (I managed airports and other public facilities) should not spend all their profits on bonuses and dividends. Seems in the old days we saved up and worked extra jobs to get through winter, now industries (many non essential) immediately stick their hand out the moment a downturn materializes. I'm particularly surprised of the immediate wails for relief made by the cruise (foreign licensed ships and foreign employs) and resort industry.

I heard on the newstoday regarding Italy, per capita they have a larger quantity of beds and equipment then the US.

I have no way to confirm.

Unfortunately for us, the planet Earth does need a major Pandemic to wipe this parasite called Human off its face.

14) Now, what does this all mean? A) With this assay we can figure out who was infected and who wasn't. That means we can determine the true infection rate and infection fatality rate. B) We can use the assay to screen for people who seroconverted and are now immune.....

15)...and they can donate their serum and it can maybe used to treat patients. C) We can test health care workers and ask the ones who are already immune to work with infectious patients. In that way the virus is not easily spread to colleagues or other patients. And D) ....

16)...we can now use this assay to better study how our immune response reacts to the virus. And then there are two more take home messages that are important: First, it looks like we are all naive, meaning we have no immunity whatsoever to SARS-CoV-2. That would....

17)....explain why it spreads so quickly. And second, it means we make an immune response to the spike. Antibodies to the RBD domain are often neutralizing, and it is likely (but needs to be confirmed) that once the antibody response sets in, we become protected.

18) Please keep in mind that these conclusions are preliminary and based on small numbers. Larger studies to confirm this are needed and ongoing. We have started to share the reagents globally and hope that this or similar assays can be set up in many places.

19) Finally, I want to thank the student who took the lead on this, Fatima Amanat as well as my whole group of dedicated students, postdocs, techs and assistant professors who dropped all their beloved influenza work to help out with creating tools to fight SARS-CoV-2.

well so much for my planning on staying home for months, the person I talk about from time to time that I take care of had a cardiac event and it took cpr to get this person back yesterday afternoon.

So off I went on the 30 mile drive to the er of a town of 3k. There is no point in calling the meat wagon here, its 45minutes then the long run to the hospital.

I was not allowed in the ER, sucked, but do to this person prior issues, they chemically delt with the svt issue and watched for an hour and we all agreed home was best. I have a defib unit here so other then the svt issue and blood work things can be done here.

Now how much did I put this person at risk and myself? I tried the sneaky ice water in the face deal that has worked a few times but for me to use the defib unit at home is a very very last resort.

She is in here mid sixties, 2 heart attacks, 2 strokes, 7 svt-s, 2 took a defib, 2 after heart ablation?. I hope we skated through.

That announcement has already been contradicted by the FDA.
