I think I’ve mentioned this before, but ill health would be Trump’s perfect escape plan. - Mop Jun 13, 13:04 3

B3 on closing back down again: if you believe the stats, it makes no sense to close down again unless it’s to slow the burden on hc assets, 70% gonna - Rollo Jun 13, 12:04 15
- It's definitely about not overburdening the hospitals. Look at what was happening here in NYC when we were getting thousands of cases a day. - Krusty Jun 13, 13:06 4
  - Exactly. When you exceed capacity more people die. In NYC you could bring in military and federal units in a central location. - loosilu Jun 13, 13:08 3

  - This assumes there ever will be a treatment. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 12:39 1
    - It's more likely than the vaccine. They've figured out this is a virus that attacks the blood. That gives them some ammo to start trying treatments - . Jun 13, 13:03
  - The R&D cycle is too long to be a factor imo -- nm - Rollo Jun 13, 12:26 3
    - It's not about remesdevir (sp) or new drugs. it's about using what we've already have. - . Jun 13, 13:06 2
      - I think it will end up being a combination. Different tools, medicines, modes of treatment. -- nm - loosilu Jun 13, 13:09 1

    - my fave moment: - mud Jun 13, 12:04 3
