If your concern off contracting C-19 is greater than mine, then don't go out. Manage your risk tolerance, not mine.

I just read the Swine Flu infected 61 million people in the US and 12.5k died in '09. I don't remember that at all. Which one of you forget to tell me to stockpile toilet paper?

Not quite the same scale. It's likely that 20 to 60% of Americans will be infected this year. 20% is 60 million which means that at just a 0.5% death rate, 300,000 will die.

There’s no way on earth to successfully mitigate the death toll while only isolating those at risk. The more prevalent it is in non-at risk populations, the more certainty we have that it will reach everyone.

There are people here that have been on quarantine, and correctly not showed up for work. However, they have gone to the gym and the store. So silly.

I'm not comparing or minimizing I just really don't remember the swine flu.

Oh, I meant the TP situation is going to be much worse, probably. That's why people are talking it about it now and not then.

It was much smaller, but I remember it vividly. The only time I’ve ever had a flu shot.

A new patient came in from Chicago with a cough. They took him to the hospital. I'm not picking up his property until Monday and I'm trying to spend all day back here alone in my office if I can.
