Gene DellaSala Has Coronavirus

Correct geoffkait. For every 10 known cases there are about 1000 you do not know about. The only way this could have been stopped was at the very beginning. So here is what has to happen. The entire low risk population has to self immunize by getting exposed. As the immunity of the herd increases the block to further spread will increase and the disease will die down which is exactly what is happening in China now. The case reports are falling off. In the mean while "at risk" people are going to have to maintain a low profile until it blows over. I tell my older patients to stay home and avoid visitors. If they have to go out shopping they should go out just when the store opens in the AM and wear a NIOSH N95 mask which I supply them with. In two to three months it will blow over and everyone will wonder what all the excitement was about. 

my logic is not your logic. Your logic is not your neighbor’s logic.

You know that your logic will never prevail and never work. Neither will mine. We can all have excellent functional plans, but the outcome will be none of that, it will be..whatever it is.

And that given whatever...is usually ugly and formed by the emotion of the crowd vs the misapplication of faulty logic and incorrect force by the given authority.

Wow. Proactive quarantine. That's all it takes.

@thecarpathian,
I couldn't find Dr. Fauci quoted online but it was broadcasted all day long on TV. The only online quote I could find is his saying "many, many millions" will get it.

The only quote that uses those figures that I could find were from Dr. Monahan, the attending physician of Congress and the Supreme Court.
And, I inverted the numbers which should be 70-150 million. I was tired when I posted it.

Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court, said he expects 70 million to 150 million people in the United Stateswill become infected with COVID-19, NBC News reported, citing two sources.

Monahan made the comments to Senate staff during a closed-door meeting Tuesday afternoon, according to NBC News. The meeting did not include senators and was for administrative office staff and personnel from both parties, NBC News reported. – Lovelace

Numbers aside, the Italians are warning us not to do the same thing they did, which really worsened the situation. They all went around saying it's just another flu and didn't take it seriously.

All the best,
Nonoise
