I thought vents run by pressure they inflate the lung with in sinc with breathing. How does 2 people do that?

I couldn't explain it. I'm just repeating what she said. They're coping the best way they can and adapting as fast as they can. Happily, someone's come up with some accommodation.

For those that can't get any bread. Pass it around it may help someone.

I would be happy to talk anyone through making bread. We could do a bake-along.

It's not hard and, in fact, it's a very pleasant thing to do. The ingredients are probably in your pantry (OK you might have to order some yeast online), they're inexpensive and I can guarantee you'll be able to eat anything you come up with even if your first loaf isn't something you want to post a photo of online for all to marvel at.

I'm making a 3-day loaf of bread today that I started sprouting wheat berries for days ago.

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

Super cool. I wish i was computer savvy and could post links like that.so interesting. But what concerns me is how long the virus lasts. Gleep can live up to twenty to thirty days and parvo is even longer. Its morre resilient than us.lolSo if thats the case its gonna stay on the ground anyway. Also do we really believe soap and water will kill it. Years of dealing with adaptable viruses and parasites make me skeptical but i live out in the middle of nowhere and rarely go to town anyways

Our food stores in Wyoming too, even though we have only 20 cases state wide.

However the Ranch supply stores have seen no drop in deliveries from venders.'
On is now taking orders over the phone, the next day you drive to their storage building where you order and receipt are waiting, you or the yard guy load your car. Drive through feed supplies!

"t i live out in the middle of nowhere and rarely go to town anyways"

All we folks who live "out there" live social distancing anyway, and usually have food supplies. TP, not so much.

Medical authorities are saying it may be with us from now on. The good news is people will begin acquiring immunity to it over time and time will probably produce a vaccine for it. More knowledge about how to treat it successfully as well.

The problem is how new this particular virus is and how little we know about it at this point. But eventually all that will change.

Think of when AIDS was new and was ravaging some communities. They were dying left and right and it was looking bleak! Now we have drugs -- think of how long Magic Johnson has survived with AIDS! -- and we have strategies everyone knows for avoiding it. That will happen with Covid-19 in time too. It's just our job to cooperate to "flatten the curve" of infection so medical personnel are able to keep pace with it.
