Midwesterners must not be a fearful bunch as in the last week, I've been to Costco, Walmart, Aldis, Krogers, CVS, and even Menards and all had plenty of rolls of bog paper.

It's been at least twenty years since I last bought a cd. They don't come in plastic cases anymore.
In other news, it is a magnificent 88°A, with very little humidity. I barely worked up a sweat on my 37km ride.

It is, the fatality rate being only one of them and only the tip of an iceberg of bad news, and just remember: For each of those fatalities, there is a handful of people in the hospital with bad pneumonia and some subset of those on ventilators hanging onto life the ICU. Some of them are young and fit. Serious business.
Jadesfire can tell about the epidemiology, but everyone sees two general problems. Number one is the load on the healthcare system, which is only starting to be felt. Our system, like everyone else’s, has virtually no excess capacity because its very expensive and there is virtually no public funding for it. There is a potential for things to go Third World at US hospitals very fast. The second obvious problem is the economic knock-on effects of the pandemic, combined with the collapse of oil prices and a corporate debt crisis. Closures and quarantines have the potential to put hundreds of thousands of people out of work much faster than a normal economic downturn and, although it’s early to say, it will likely be followed by a global recession.
No ******g joke at all.

My wife’s company had an urgent “all hands” meeting and told them all employees were to work from home till the end of the month.
The irony? This is a company that does not buy laptops because they don’t want “sensitive “ information “moving out”!

It's Terry Barentsen's YouTube channel - he follows all of the cyclists that he films. And it's not just a case of being lucky - these folks are very skilled (I would have been killed 17 times over if I tried the same).

Agree. My hope is the measures everyone is taking will really slow down the spread of this pathogen so it will spread around over the next couple of decades. At that rate, the system can absorb the shock. If it spreads rapidly, the system will get overwhelmed and that will be a big problem.
