In the ray of hope department....
The Wall Street Journal in their Opinion section has an article Wednesday by two doctors who lay out a case that COVID-19 is far less deadly than previous estimates, like Korea’s 0.6%. They make the case that far more people have been infected and felt little or no symptoms. They crunch numbers that show that the case fatality rate (CFR) might be even less than 0.1%
If this is true the epidemic will end sooner too, as a large number of “quietly recovered and now immune” people will not be passing on the virus to others, and further slowing an infection rate that may also being reduced by springtime seasonal high humidity. I have been thinking this as well. I had a cold in late January that had me feeling really wiped out. I rarely ever get colds. It has been years since I had one like that.

anyone self medicating would do well to write on their forearm with a sharpie the meds they are taking should the emt's show up and someone is unresponsive Great advice... anyone on heart meds and blood thinners should carry a list with them. The er doc was so happy my wife kept a daily list when her a#$hole cardiologists would not answer the phone when she was in the er. They have protocols but will adjust if they know what and how much you are taking. He helped her find some new docs and things are pretty good now, getting off the meds slowly. Make the list, could save your life.

Any body know iif the ups pack and ship stores are open and taking items needing packing in order to ship? Does everything have to be boxed up when it comes in? Ours are still open and considered part of essential businesses. I would call your local one to confirm.

My wife has a folder with all my medical records in it and I carry a list of all the meds I take and she has a copy of them also... the folder came in handy when we were down in Texas for vacation(a couple of months)... I had a stroke down there

as this dies down eventually, what are the odds of a severe upswing next flue season in the fall ? Odds are better IMO that all thermometers sold after COVID will be required to be online models, so any outbreak can be spotted and tracked almost real time. Sure would have saved a lot of time and likely lives with this pandemic. I am all about personal privacy (long gone), but I don't think these new thermometers share any personal data other the approx location of the user, not sure.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

You do realize that just because you have a fever does not mean you have COVID-19, right? Most diseases and infections cause a fever, even the common cold. It just means your body is fighting an infection.

Got any better early warning world wide better low cost reliable early warning suggestions?

I'm hoping this doesn't contravene the "no politics" rule. if a moderator perceive that it does, please feel free to remove it. This is a surprising article from a Canadian publication that is generally quite supportive of communist China: Despite the opening paragraph, it doesn't really speak to politics directly, but as I stated above..... https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/when-will-china-be-held-accountable-for-coronavirus/

Or American Shingles is no big thing kinda of thinking? I remember American Chicken pox parties well, I never attended, and never got Chicken Pox or Shingles.

Sample quote Early evidence from Iceland, a country with a very strong organization for wide testing within the population, suggests that as many as 50 percent of infections are almost completely asymptomatic. Most of the rest are relatively minor. In fact, Iceland’s figures, 648 cases and two attributed deaths, give a death rate of 0.3 percent. As population testing becomes more widespread elsewhere in the world, we will find a greater and greater proportion of cases where infections have already occurred and caused only mild effects. In fact, as time goes on, this will become generally truer too, because most infections tend to decrease in virulence as an epidemic progresses.
