If you aren't familiar with parts of western USA then you might not understand that a quarantine was never imposed in some areas because it was pointless. When there aren't very many people there isn't much need for a quarantine. I've driven parts of southeast Oregon where you can drive for an hour and never see another car. If you live in NYC you might not comprehend that there are thousands of acres of land with no people at all. If there aren't any visitors then there isn't any virus and no need for a quarantine.

I live out west.

Well in that case you should understand why there are counties with no reported infections.

If you were honest about your location it would reflect that instead of Gabba gabba NYC.

The virus is real, but this is the big problem causing disbelief and mistrust.


Early on 1 to 2 million Americans will die. A sad number now yes but not even close.

The death % is horrific, now for everyone who tests positive, 20 to 100 have had it before and never even knew it lowering that % drastically. Plus its been around us since last year.

Don't touch anything, the virus is everywhere - now the CDC says its transmitted person to person and its extremely unlikely surface to person so common sense hygiene is practical

Don't leave your home - save lives, then the mayor of Chicago goes to get a haircut because personal grooming is important to her and the mayor of NYC has his motorcade take him for a walk in a Brooklyn park because he's been working hard

All the parks in our state were shut, now the beaches are open you just aren't allowed to stand or sit on the sand, you have to keep moving. The CDC says sunlight kills the virus extremely fast, and wind dispenses it to harmlessness.

Cuomo broadcasts daily saying flatten the curve over and over to slow the rush on the hospital emergency wards. That has happened but they morphed it into stay home anyway insinuating it would make the virus go away. Now gets all made up to broadcast his face daily so he can throw his numbers at us then broadcast his family or talk about the Jordan documentary and treat us all like little children

11% of Utah citizens “might have had” COVID-19
But this is based on self selected antibody tests

New York never shut down public transit,

TY
K

That is true, they shut everything else down and so most people stopped riding public transportation but the buses still ran even if they were empty. Maybe NYC should've shut their schools down earlier or canceled the parade or things like that. We might never know. The virus has hit different cities in different ways so it is hard to say what the best approach would have been. Tokyo is a very large and dense city with an older population and crowded public transportation but they only have about 300 deaths. So at this point nobody really understands what is going on.

My location is irrelevant.

As is your handle.

You must be racked with cramps for the past three years from tactless inspired cringing.

It's a sign of the times.

It's also as I touched on earlier, IMO this pandemic is just a bellwether of what we face in the creeping climate change the world will likely face.

Strange how we quickly go from "We are all in this together" to "Oh, it doesn't effect my age group or region, See ya"

Same will likely repeat with future severe hurricanes, rising seas, drought, etc, it's only, "All about me and my wallet" as I see it.

The human drug Celecoxib
and the animal drug Carprofen
mildly inhibit COVID-19 virus replication

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-05-anti-inflammatory-drugs-inhibit-replication-covid-.html

Sample quote

Moonshot which has selected 2 of these 7 compounds (i.e., Carprofen and Celecoxib) in order to test their ability to inhibit M-pro in vitro. The results obtained show that at a concentration of 50 μM of Celecoxib or Carprofen, the inhibition of the in vitro activity of M-pro is 11.90 and 4.0%, respectively. Therefore, both molecules could be used as a starting point for further lead optimization to obtain even more potent derivative drugs.

Thanks for posting this !

Some of you guys are funny, like one trying to appear smarter then the other about something they know little about on a car site, where on some days the combined IQ couldnt figure out how to shake and bake a pork chop.

Then to read on and find out the mind of some just dont fit the old decrepit body and life some project, visions of a institution with a ward just for the senile old guys BSing comes to mind.

Why not go to an intelligent site that might challenge some of the great minds here? I think the feeling of inadequacy would quickly creep up on many here.

But anyway, it blows, in my lil town of 80 someone had to go see a family member that worked at a meat packing plant, poof, 1/2 the town is under self quarantine as they took one out on a helicopter sat night.

Luckly, im a non sociable [censored] and deal with no one here, but I do hope god watches over them, alot of old people here.

Looks like my local Ohio tracks got the go ahead to race next weekend. I hope you stay at home guys have a great summer

Be safe, be sure to post some good thoughts from the morgue.

Wow, Mr P, sorry to hear what happened there. Sure sounds like you live in a tight knit berg. Please be safe and help those you can.
Our extended family (we're some of the the oldsters) consists of 9 siblings and their spouses, kids, grandkids and gr grand kids. At some birthday gatherings we have more relatives than residents of your town. Not all live in the area, but most within a couple hours drive. We all are pretty careful and fortunately have dodged bullets. We miss the family yet do the best to celebrate important events. Our granddaughter graduated today, school put together a car cruise for the kids while family and friends scattered along a 1 mile main street waving hooting, hollering and holding up banners in the direction of their equally decorated cars. Extreme social distancing by all and masks on about 40%. We did the best we could to celebrate this important milestone. We do this as California's cases are higher than ever. I can only hope this event on the heels of memorial weekend where many visitors came to recreate at recently opened lake (and the neighbor had his rv round-up of out of towners, 2x time this month). I laid low and worked on projects with wife. I sure hope our rural community does not unwittingly jump on the covid elevator.

Stay home and you won’t get sick!!

Oh, BTW, NYC is 15 minutes from me, I can see the skyline from my house.
