NY Gov Cuomo is on the news right now saying they will be giving 10,000 people that Hydroxychloroquine/Plaquenil lets pray it works. Must be they are going to streamline testing.

Oh I'm sure the "bread" does go bad...eventually, maybe, sometime in the future, possibly. I still have a whole box from my short Seabee stint , and had some fine ones while at relaxin Jackson. They have improved considerably, but still only meant ideally for high speed, low drag scenarios vs. an in shelter rat. As I said earlier, usually if not in a humid environment they go for 3 years before items start to go bad.

I just want to find BISQUICK somewhere

124 cases today, 7 in my county. Took the kids on a car ride yesterday(just to get out of the house for a while) and saw many people hanging out in large groups in the park, stores crowded, etc
Seems like maybe I'm the only one in my county that's doing the social distancing thing lol.

We here are all proud of you!

OKAY, Raise your hand if you're using this time at home by cleaning everything spic and span

No way. I hate cleaning. 1 hour is my max or I certainly would get depressed.

What's the dose you need to take for it? And do we have enough supply for the entire world?

Absolute unknowns at the present time, right now it's a hope not a cure.

Well the good thing here is no one has lost their sense of humor!
I'm retired so I'm doing the same thing I did before "self imprisonment"
I just ordered my veggie seeds.

It's Saturday, Chocolate. Time to spend the day in jammies doing something you enjoy.

That's a good question. If 1,000 people get sick at the same time, there's a peak on a graph. If 1.000 get sick over a period of a month that would flatten out a peak . . It's a matter of how many get sick at the same time. It's still the same amount of ill people, just spread out more.

Except that everyone who's sick has the potential to infect someone else. If you have a thousand people with the virus spreading the contagion to 2 people, then you have 3,000 in care and they have the potential to infect 4,000 more (assuming the first 1,000 are recovered and no longer shedding virus at that point).

In contrasts if you keep the infected down to 100 initial by keeping people isolated at home and going out only for essential errands, they can infect 200 people, who infect 400 people, etc.

Eventually everyone may come down with Covid-19 but if they do it slower, fewer people are in hospitals, hospitals have time to restock supplies, personnel have the time to rest and even to get sick themselves.

There's a simulation of that here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/grap...FMtalJM3wsEgRx5Bt2vQTYklYXxzGbNLg0irWAxj5XImc
