    people are going to have much bigger concerns than a police state in about 10 days and an awful lot of folks are going to be grateful if/when it arrives.

    I am being totally serious here, but what do you guestimate the # of PFA posters that will perish in 2020? 20%? Obviously healthy posters are not part of the fabric here. Likely 70% of the posters here eat meat, cheese bread and mayonnaise every day.

    like id say the line would be like -160 less than 4, +120 over 4... +340 over 8.

    poker players are Total Catastrophes in all the ways that would keep a functional adult healthy, and most of us are getting on in the years to boot. also very few people here have the sorts of resources you and i can leverage for safety/security, and will likely find themselves low hanging fruit for kidnapping, extortion, home invasions, which im including in the body count.

    Which is kinda BS. They should make it $1000 and then start bringing it down on a sliding scale at a certain point, like lowering it $100 for each $10,000 of reported income in 2019.

    We should have a separate thread for the stimulus package. I had joked that we should just go $8k per person and we might very well get it. The proposals keep going up up up.
    lol @ $1000

    The approximate cost of the commercial test is $199

    I literally was going to post how I thought something is changing. Something is pointing to the end of the increased # of cases every day. I can feel it from everything I'm perusing/witnessing, but I need someone to confirm this feeling.

    For Sonatine to bring us this news story, now, I am speechless. He will be right again. Mar 17th-Mar24 will be the start of the slope not getting higher for new day-to-day cases for Westernized countries in general. We'll still have more cases from that peak slope day forward but they will start to follow the China model.

    We missed containment. We're gonna go all China-like now. Outstanding.

    Considering no one had tests, and we are going to get tests in, I don’t know how we will know when and if it’s spreading. It’s going to look ike it’s spreading more. Obviously we are isolated and that will help. Italy is probably near the peak and will begin to decline. We are weeks to a month from that point, maybe more like six weeks, and it will be hard to determine given the initial lack of testing.

    Iran Model....
    The coronavirus pandemic that has spread across six continents, caused more than 7,000 deaths, and forced multiple countries to implement nationwide lockdowns has already spawned remarkable images, from the hazmat-suited municipal workers manning drive-through test centers in Seoul to the balcony acapellas of quarantined residents of Siena, Italy.

    But the defining images from Qom, the early epicenter of Iran’s viral outbreak, might turn out to be footage of body bags lined up at one of the city’s morgues, or doctors without personal protective equipment tending to the sick. In interviews with TIME, staff on the front lines of the hardest-hit nation in the Middle East painted a bleak picture of a healthcare system in the throes of a crisis that threatens to overwhelm its capacity. While experts point to critical errors in Iran’s early handling of the highly infectious virus, its experience now — in terms of the high impact on healthcare systems and frontline workers — is already finding echoes around the world.

    I think it's going to be earlier than that. North America has had the benefit of seeing what happened in China/Europe/Middle East. Now that being said people are extremely stupid and the leadership didn't take drastic measures right away. But they are starting to now.

    But I feel like it's still ahead of where Italy/Iran/etc were at this point.

    The numbers in North America will explode, but I think our peak is in 6-7 days not 10 days.

    Good points. The new tests are going to make it LOOK like it is going up yes. Until it doesn't. That will happen soon, I believe. As long as the social distancing happens for a while, all these businesses/institutions stay closed for a while and so forth. There'll always be the temptation to ramp things up before they should be ramped up.

    Let's face it, we probably have already passed the peak slope for new cases, since older days did not include "proper testing" and had more cases than we recoreded. We are "catching" more of the real cases now. Too much (and that's a good thing) testing will not show this for a while (that we've past the peak slope increase of daily new cases). Just a carbon copy of China...maybe takes a bit longer though.

    Reports from Spain is that Sevilla FC are claiming 35% of the playing group and support staff have it and none are showing symptoms.

    Sports teams worldwide are being tested regularly, might be a good indicator to judge the real infection rate amongst communities as the majority of these players are asymptomatic and probably wouldn't be tested if they were ordinary citizens with no symptoms.

    Of course close contact from playing soccer would heighten infections... but damn 35% asymptomatic.

    This is the scary thing - I came down with a fever last Wednesday, went to urgent care the next morning. No test to give me. I have no fever now, but have no idea if I have it. Have been good about quarantining, etc.

    How many millions of Americans are in my shoes right now?
