I survived chicken pox at age 42. Pool time.

End of January when we were at Disney my daughter got sick, stayed in bed last few days and kept her home from school for two days when we got back. She had a dry cough, was really fatigued, and had a 101 temperature...she was never tested for rona but I'm 99% sure she had it. I got sick a few weeks later, I probably had it. I'm going swimming today, can't wait.

Have her get the antibody test. Just to be safe.

A friend of mine had something that wasn't strep or the flu in January. Hung with him for several weeks and really kicked his ass.

He was sure he had it too. Went and had the antibody test last week and it was negative for COVID

Herd immunity and monitor high risk is the only way through this. I've read/watched/talked to doctors, we have to hope the initial quarantine suppressed the first wave but with summer coming up more people like me are going to enjoy the outdoors.

I guess since it's just the old, poor, sick, financially desperate and otherwise "weak", who gives a farg, right?

If nothing else this has become quite the study (not to mention referendum) on eugenics theory.

High risk should be monitored, their families should also stay quarantined. The virus isn't going to magically ago away and a vaccine is still far off. At this point we're just delaying the inevitable of how this is going to get solved.

Having Herd immunity as your official policy is just another way of saying you're willing to kill a few million Americans that otherwise don't have to die if you take other measures.

The absolute minimum % of Americans infected needed to reach herd immunity is 60% (it's probably higher than that but that's the low end of estimates)...with a 1% fatality rate, that would be 1.92 million dead. The real number would probably be higher because the hospitals would get overwhelmed and treatment for not only covid but other things would be severely rationed by the demand.

If you think the economy is coming back and people will live lives as normal while all that is going on, you're crazy.

I hope everybody outside in the summer dies painfully.

[phattymatty]

You don't think sunlight kills it?

[General_Failure]

You have to trap the sunlight in antifreeze, then drink that to kill it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

And here I was about to inject bleach.

[Diomedes]

Inject the lysol, drink the bleach.

Most effective just after a seven mile hike.

Our county judge is coming under fire again because she extended the stay at home order.

The racists are out in full force. I'm sick of this shtein.

I wonder what would happen if JJ Watt kneeled prior to a game during the anthem to protest the stay at home orders? Would the Cheeto Dick Militia call him a Sonofabitch or hail him as a hero?

[General_Failure]

Obviously he'd be a hero because Muh Freedoms are under attack by these fascist liberals.

Here's Dr. Katz's resume, post yours and let's compare who's more of an expert

David L. Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, FACLM earned his BA degree from Dartmouth College (1984); his MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1988); and his MPH from the Yale University School of Public Health (1993).  He completed sequential residency training in Internal Medicine and Preventive Medicine/Public Health.

He is the founding director (1998) of Yale University's Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, Past-President of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, and Founder/President of the True Health Initiative, a non-profit organization established to promote messages about healthy, sustainable diet and lifestyle in the service of adding years to lives and life to years around the globe.

Katz directed the development of the Overall Nutritional Quality Index® used in the NuVal® nutritional guidance system, the world's most robustly validated nutrient profiling system. He is the Founder (2016) and CEO of his own start-up company, developing a disruptively innovative approach to dietary intake assessment, and diet coaching – known as Diet Quality Photo Navigation (DQPN; DQPN™, LLC). He serves as Senior Science Advisor to Better+ Therapeutics, a digital therapeutic platform devoted to the use of diet and lifestyle for the treatment and reversal of chronic disease; and Senior Wellness Advisor to Indigo Ag.

The recipient of many awards for his contributions to public health, he has received three honorary doctorate degrees. Dr. Katz has held faculty positions at the Yale University Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, and as adjunct professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine. He served as Director of Medical Studies in Public Health at the Yale School of Medicine for nearly a decade.

He holds 5 U.S. patents with other patents pending. He has published roughly 200 scientific articles and textbook chapters, and 17 books to date, including multiple editions of leading textbooks in both Preventive Medicine and nutrition. His most recent book is The Truth about Food, with all proceeds going to support the True Health Initiative. His next book, with co-author Mark Bittman, is due out in the spring of 2020 (How to Eat; Houghton Mifflin).

Dr. Katz invented the meta-research method known as "evidence mapping;" the behavior modification construct called "impediment profiling;" a multi-site clinical trial approach to community-based participatory research called the multi-site translational community trial (MTCT); and most recently, "evidence threshold pathway mapping," a method for applying diverse evidence sources in particular to questions about lifestyle practices and lifelong health effects.

Prominent as a journalist and commentator addressing matters of health and medicine, Dr. Katz has been quoted in most major magazines and newspapers and has appeared widely on radio and television – and served as a regular on-air medical contributor for Good Morning America/ABC News for over two years. He has delivered addresses at major universities and conferences throughout the United States and countries around the world on six continents.

Widely recognized for his abilities as an orator, Dr. Katz has been hailed by peers as "the poet laureate of health promotion." In 2018, Katz was named conference chair for the annual Art & Science of Health Promotion conference. He has served as one of the expert judges for the annual rankings of diets by US News & World Report for much of the past decade. Katz was a 2019 finalist for a James Beard Foundation Award in the category of health journalism for two pieces in New York Magazine co-authored with Mark Bittman.

Recognized globally for expertise in nutrition, health promotion, and the prevention of chronic disease, he reaches a social media following of nearly one million.
