Talk lately has me a little nervous about 2020 football season. Thoughts?

K. So hopefully they're proactive enough to come up with a plan to make that possible. Run and hide can't be the only viable solution....

Not really an enemy you can just stand up to. Vaccine is about the only hope.

How am I misrepresenting Santa Clara? Ninja I live out here! Lol. It’s been all over our news.

But, to your point, that’s still a very low mortality rate. Here’s the article.

Way more people may have gotten coronavirus than we thought, small antibody study suggests

Between 50 and 85 times as many people in Santa Clara County have coronavirus antibodies as have tested positive for the virus.

I will also like to add, I don’t think the fear is contracting it, if you’re healthy...I think the fear is contracting it, not knowing u have it (like me w the common cold), and unknowingly passing it to someone w a weak immune system.

CNBC has been pretty much all I’ve been watching, pretty sure they’ve had good reporting on manufacturing numbers and the like. Can’t say there’s not some bias that creeps through on there, but by and large they have by far the most balanced and reasoned reporting I’ve seen since the beginning on this thing. They’ve talked about us sending ventilators to Europe and Africa since it now appears we’ve ramped up our production capabilities beyond our need.

I'm not sure if that's ventilators we produced since the outbreak or if it's ventilators that we might not need now that we have flattened the curve. Maybe the truth will come out one day.

That's a fear amongst civilized good people like you. It's, unfortunately, not a primary concern amongst rednecks.

Is that absolute? Does it fall under your area of expertise?

Gotta co-worker, well she’s my assistant....she calls me in tears b/c she’s deathly afraid to go back to work. Poor girl suffers from a compromised immune system. She’s been given the OK to work from home, til this all blows over, but her pay is going to be cut.

No not absolute at all. There's always the miracle virus treatment developed in record time but that is unrealistic to expect.

Yeah, I think it’s more that we didn’t need as many as initial projections/fears, but it does take time to ramp up production and the gist that I’ve gotten is that we will have a large production capacity within a few weeks and we’re not going to need them. A better problem to have than the other way around.

The truth always comes out, man.

Of course. That's a valid concern. It makes sense to be vigilant and protect people with vulnerabilities. That's what we do as a society. We fight for and seek to protect the innocent and vulnerable. However, there are millions of otherwise healthy vulnerable people who live paycheck to paycheck and are going to be disproportionately affected by this shutdown. Some may take years to recover financially. This **** needs to end. The initial projections were off by 100 miles. That much is crystal clear.

It's a horrible situation from a health standpoint and from an economic one. **** shame.

On a side note, I keep hearing the puffy orange guy crowing about how great the economy was. Greatest economy ever! Yet, a week after people got laid off or furloughed, most were out of money.

Does that sound like a great economy? It might have been great for the super rich and their like, but it clearly wasn't great for the overwhelming majority of the citizens/workers. People should be able to survive longer than a week or two without a paycheck if the country was in such great shape economically.

If the country is really thriving, the majority should be thriving, not just the super rich or some wealthy business owners or Wall Street types. You can't tell me the economy was thriving when so many are living paycheck to paycheck or even day to day.

Stumbled back onto this thread to get some more feedback on the upcoming season or lack thereof. I don’t have a good feel for it, but I’m not feeling optimistic anyway. Hate to post this here, but people keep talking about a vaccine

So, what you’re not being told is that there may not be a viable vaccine in the foreseeable future. Or maybe for several years. Or never.

They probably don’t tell you that on MSNBC or Fox or CNN whatever you watch. I really don’t watch much cable news myself.

Coronavirus (19) may very well be something we have to learn to live with. And treat with drug therapies. Think the cold or HIV/AIDS. No vaccines for those. Vaccine development is never a guarantee, it’s a crapshoot

We'll see. If we truly don't need them, then they can easily stop the ramp up of production, if there ever really was one, right away. I've yet to see evidence of any of these hundreds of thousands of ventilators that the our stable genius claimed are being produced. Maybe they're out there, and it just hasn't come to light yet.

For sure.
Oh, but at least Amazon is now valued at $1.2 Trillion during this crisis & Jeff is doing just fine, buying another $16m apartment in NYC.

75% of the LED lighting you see in offices , stadiums and just about every building structure out there .
China makes almost every LED driver ( this runs the LED diode) that produces light candle power to illuminate.

Even though there’s a average (5) year warranty it comes from China and not a guarantee there in stock in USA and you have TWO choices if it fails and they do believe me.

1) wait for back order to arrive YEAH RIGHT

2) Buy another China made fixture .... GET IT?

China owns easily 85 % of our market place and same in real estate.

Thr only thing USA has going for us with China they cannot allow us to fail, we make there investment prosper THAT IT our own salvation WERE TO BE TO FAIL TO MAKE CHINA MONEY

So...it all starts on personal levels.

What will you do to try and change?

Incredibly difficult obviously.

For me...I jettisoned every apply product...3 iPads...1 iPhone...

yes..yes...i sound like a d!ck because look at me I tossed those items...not my point...

I've committed to making choices other than China sourced throughout life from now on.

Call me Don Quixote.

If she can work from home, there should be no reason to cut her pay specifically because she is having to work from home for medical reasons. If that’s the case, her employer should be ashamed and I’m quite certain she would have a case for labor law violation.

It’s not all or nothing. “Going back to work” doesn’t need to mean going back in time 45 days. It means we we take reasonable precautions and slowly restart the world while monitoring the situation closely.

Not a new status, and has nothing to do with party. Absolute truth, though.
