    What font are those numbers in?

    Did he type that while still asleep?  It says nothing, helps in no way. 
    Not helpful.  This is our leader.
    I don't think what Thoughts posted is a direct quote. There have been lots of fake things thrown out by them this morning. It's unfortunated that this is easily believed because he says stupid vague shit all the time.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    And stupid shit shared, repeatedly.
    Aggravating but par for the course these days - people read at a surface level, only.

    Yes it is and after this he went to get a large bag of ice. Question is, was it cubed or crushed ice? =)

    To support your stay safe, hits the healthy, I found stats stating half of Frances' critical patients are under 60.

    People have talked about it. Haven't seen much shortage of toilet paper myself.

    This has just been released though, so will have to take a risky visit to the local Corona-infested store. Hopefully I will see this barren toilet paper aisle you speak of.

    Saw that too...wondered about pre-existing health in them.  Seems to be missing that statement one way or the other, which is kinda dumb.  When reporting on these things, they should be covering it all otherwise they are either making people worry for no reason or giving people to ignore real threats.

    Have you seen it mentioned anywhere with all the info?

    No, I'll have a look at WHO reports. Good point.

    The world also needs to accelerate work on treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. Scientists were able to sequence the genome of the virus and develop several promising vaccine candidates in a matter of days, and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations is already preparing up to eight promising vaccine candidates for clinical trials. If one or more of these vaccines proves safe and effective in animal models, they could be ready for larger-scale trials as early as June. Drug discovery can also be accelerated by drawing on libraries of compounds that have already been tested for safety and by applying new screening techniques, including machine learning, to identify antivirals that could be ready for large-scale clinical trials within weeks.

    I am hearing that stores are going to be limiting quantities of certain items to prevent hoarding.  Good idea.

    Our local Kroger wasn't too bad this morning.  Some stuff looked low but there was still plenty to eat there.

    Cincy,

    Looking at the mortality/age/pre-existing condition charts: the numbers at Hopkins site (accessed March 14) are identical to mid-February charts.

    Edit: deleting web link to medical journal as data is based on older outbreaks.

    I'm trying not to over react, but it's hard not to based on reports coming out of Italy.

    Anecdotally, based purely on my own observations as a tourist and as a friend and coworker to quite a few people from France, curbing cigarette smoking never really took off in France. Being that this is a respiratory illness, I would think that the "healthy" younger folks likely have compromised respiratory systems from smoking cigarettes.
