Disturbing news as Re: high 'prevalence/incidence'
Good news as Re: Low pathogenicity

Good news as Re: Low pathogenicity

Even better: faster time to herd immunity.

 

Didn't I hear something about a second wave of this (?)
Can't quote where I heard it from cause this would break forum rules of posting from a Cough, cough political person.

My SWAG: Wuhan virus will become a seasonal flu, just like Influenza A and B.

I hope we will be able to respond sanely to such "outbreaks" without destroying our economy every year.

 

Bored? Take a kid fishing! Fishing was included on the list of essential services !?!? This might just belong under the Weird thread...

I hope news articles aren't off limits. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-covid-19-second-wave-1.5507522

Canada and other countries must prepare for a second wave of the COVID-19 outbreak to emerge once social distancing measures are eased, and they should only lift those measures gradually, infectious disease experts say.

My first thought was when they said they were bringing our infected people back here was....WHY?
I get that they wanted to come home but you just brought the virus here when there was none.
They could have treated these people off shore and never should have allowed the people treating them to go home and pass it out.

Yes, you can still hunt and fish here too.

With your family.

The Executive Order states that “Individuals are directed to minimize travel, other than essential travel...” It also states that individuals should “maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet from any person who is not a members of their immediate household.”

So carry a fishing rod and a gun when you travel.

I've been years way ahead of the curve on this one...

Except that was a pay for what you catch small pond crowded with people... I must admit if my boat wasn't in the shop I would be tempted to go offshore (can't very well go 25 miles out with no GPS and find your spot). Problem... Who to take... How to avoid interacting with people at the boat lift...

Perfectly. They are a private company and can (should be able to) do whatever they like with any part of their inventory -- including raising prices.

Q. If supermarkets decided to stop selling food, and only provide it to (pick a target), how would that fit into your economic model?

The shark was just stunned temporarily?

 

I never brought a shark aboard over 3' alive and found out the hard way that small sharks can bite you when you grab em by the tail and have the scar to prove it. And NO, I don't take lawyers fishing!
