I Am Having A Sad Day

The virus just became real a good friend of my wifes a man she admired and considered a mentor and friend died from Covid 19. He was only 60 and well known in our area but wasnt able to overcome is. The even sadder part is there are no public viewing for friends to say goodbye just a few members of his family. I think think may be like cancer everyone of us will know someone who has it and even dies.

@questionWeaver 6700 in the US thus far?

questionWeaver

@TexChik I modeled 6600 to 24,000 to the peak .. with 3 different paths from the peak

I may be a bit low

@questionWeaver lots of libs claiming its higher. Now the libs advising the president are crawfishing in their estimates

questionWeaver

@TexChik is sad in all respects

@questionWeaver this is less severe than swine flu thus far

questionWeaver

@TexChik yes ... but, numbers hidden in the numbers point to it ending up far more severe ... the transmission mechanism is leveraging the urban life style to induce heavy losses there

@questionWeaver and that is without figuring in the use of meds found to be effective . The lib in charge of the CDC has gone out of his way to say there isn’t time for testing ... the testing has already been done ! They are FDA approved drugs .

@TexChik the vaccines should be released to everybody over 80
