There’s absolutely something that makes people much more susceptible than others. I don’t think it’s far fetched to say that by now just about everyone has been exposed. So why do most people have little to no trouble while others - sometimes young and healthy - get it die.

Yep.

 

And tracking another stat:  the negative test results, which have been running around 90%.

 

Sort of. I think the lack of testing throws a wrench into that data. Most areas in the country still have a shortage of tests.

That right there is the whole point of trying to flatten the curve and social distancing. It may be fine for me and you, but if we are a carrier, we may give it to someone who by random chance, dies. 

Man, the numbers out of Italy today are just depressing

919 deaths today and 9,134 total dead.

Read this today too. Not a bad read. Why Italy so bad, yet Germany has a .5% death rate.

He’s a good dude 

Steve Ballmer and his wife are donating $25 million to the cause. And immediately people on Twitter are criticizing him because that’s “all” he donated.

Glad you said this. Now I'll be sure to not open Twitter anytime soon.

I think we are all hearing all these new cases and deaths. I think right now as a country, we are tracking like 1-2% mortality rate. That is pretty damn good all things considered. 

From what I’ve seen today, it looks like they have said it’s lower to more like .1% flu level unless you’ve seen different.

Dunno who this guy is but I read it earlier and searched twitter and this account had what I was looking for.

Let me introduce you to my friend named Beer. 
 

I saw Rhinegeist is still doing pickup (and delivery?) orders. If that included growler fills and I lived near there I’d be doing that every other day.

Dang this is crazy......play the video on the link.  

Our club just announced the course is closed until at least April 6th. The Ohio Dept of Health can bite my ass.

Seeing April 6th as the reopening for a lot of things. Wonder what that date will be pushed back to. April 20th I’m guessing. 

It's going to keep getting pushed back. The 6th will turn into the 20th will turn into the 4th will turn into the 18th...

DeWine won’t do just 2 weeks

I wonder how many additional suicides are acceptable to the Ohio Dept of Health? Because I think we're going to start seeing a pretty big uptick soon.

It’s a slippery slope. I think right now he has a lot of the public on his side. But I don’t know if it keeps getting pushed back how that changes. 

As long as the number of positive tests and deaths keeps increasing, there is nothing he can do but extend it. 

What is the point of closing golf courses and state parks. Let people get out of the house. Members of a course can walk and not be around anyone.

same here.....had to pay online and no entrance in clubhouse.  Seemed just fine in regards to following all rules from local and national health experts.
