To that point, it's interesting that the 3 AMP girls I see outside of their shops are now considering other careers out of fear of returning too soon. And, from what they say, several of their MP friends are considering the same. Can't wait for all this to be over so we can get back to business as usual.

Careers can these ladies be contemplating?

Has anyone else noticed an add between every two or three post? It is on every forum I look into.

Plus I can not PM anyone. Any info would help.

Thanks.

PP.

Those that were tested and had zero symptoms were tested because they were in close proximity with someone that got sick and tested positive.

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronav...ny-as-covid-19

Lastly, if you look at the death totals and the demographics, almost all deaths were elderly and / or people with existing medical conditions. Very few, a statistically insignificant number have been young and relatively healthy, but obviously the death was significant to the victim and their family. I think we will all get exposed eventually. Social distancing just drags out the inevitable. Social distancing was implemented as a way to avoid hospitals from getting overwhelmed, not a means to keep people from catching the virus. Slow the spread, but you can't stop it.

On the CDC website today, as of April 28th, recorded are 981,246 cases and 55,258 deaths which equates out to 5. 5%.

So how many actual cases are there and where do you get your info?

That's not a political statement from either side but rather a mathmetical fact and it's all I need to know to stay away from this hobby until this all settles down.

Based on this, the probably death rate is going to be more like 1 / 1000, a tenth of a percent, and not the 4 to 6 percent we've been hearing about.

The bad news. The good doctor says we don't have a vaccine and won't for some time. So if you are in an At Risk group, maybe you want to still practice your social distancing.

I'd love to try and convince myself that my almost 60 year old ass is not at risk, since I don't smoke, take care of myself, and was healthy all winter. On the other hand, I had a flu shot in October.
