    Thank you for your detailed response. I unfortunately fall into one of the groups you mentioned, and have some high risk people close to me, so I'm going to look into one.

    My wife and I both had minor symptoms of something, which we noted in late February. That supposedly would have been early for this thing, at least in our area, but one never knows. Hopefully that was it and we're good now, but I'm not taking any chances.

    I'm kind of worried sick (not that I already had or have it, but that I or someone I know will get a severe case of this) and I'm very stressed trying to look out for others, but that's just between you and me. ;)

    Stay well!

    US now with over 100,000 cases. By next week will we be closer to 250,000 or 500,000? I don’t believe we are anywhere near our peak yet.

    Guess we aren't as virtuous as the County Judge thought when he said there was no reason to do this earlier in the week. Evidence would be the need to make sure gun stores stay open...as if the nuts haven't already stocked up.

    There is some doubt about that and some criticism that they were rushing to publish it without complete information

    Basically a short piece by a known Belgian expert questioning their findings, i don't really understand all of the technical things but i would wait before jumping to conclusion about that.

    Tragic for the animals but it sounds cool.

    Well, we were watching the same town hall, but she just caught something (chloroquine) that I didn't catch. They didn't list all the drugs, but did mention the one. Neither of us remember hearing colchicine. sorry!

    I mean, this person listens to that type of music...so I tend to trust them, but I won't lie and say I did any further research into it. Either way, as I said -- it doesn't reduce the value of his life in any way in any case. Just a potential point of note.

    I don't think that's "new news". There was a "study" a month or two ago from China that stated the same thing. I'm not sure anything conclusive has been found about it.

    It's amazing. I like to picture this tweet coming from Obama.
