This is how it goes. Expect a near doubling of cases every day if younger folks don't start taking the social distance thing seriously. I still see these selfish little spits say it won't affect them and they can't keep their precious little spawn cooped up all day.

Play tag in the front yard for crying out loud. Ride bikes. Teach some life skills. Make cookies. They don't need McDonalds play area or the trampoline park.

From the Wall Street Journal

Scientists and government officials fighting the coronavirus epidemic say they have a problem: Carefree youths.
As authorities moved to restrict social gatherings last week, bars and restaurants from New York to Berlin filled up with revelers, illegal “lockdown parties” popped up in France and Belgium, and campuses in the U.S. lit up for end-of-the-world dorm parties.

So far, most young Covid-19 patients have experienced mild or no symptoms from the virus, while more severe cases are concentrated among those aged 50 and over. Data released last week by the National Health Institute in Italy, currently the world’s worst-hit country, shows mortality rates starting at 0% for patients aged 0 to 29 and edging up to peak at 19% for those over 90.
Yet scientists say tests have shown children and young adults are no less likely than older people to get infected and transmit the virus. Epidemiologists are growing concerned that the millennial pushback against social-distancing measures—and an emerging generational divide about how the disease is perceived—could undo all efforts to slow the spread of the virus and put vulnerable people at high risk.

President Trump on Monday stressed that young people can spread the virus even if they only have mild symptoms and recommended that Americans avoid restaurants and gatherings of more than 10 people. French President Emmanuel Macron went further, announcing a nationwide lockdown and punishment for those who violate the rules.
So far, the young don’t seem to be listening.

I'm happy to see AOC acting with some sense:

After social media became filled with reports of packed bars and restaurants in New York, 30-year-old Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) tweeted to her millions of followers on Saturday.
“To everyone in NYC but ESPECIALLY healthy people & people under 40, (bc from what I’m observing that’s who needs to hear this again), PLEASE stop crowding bars, restaurants, and public spaces right now. Eat your meals at home.”

And this is just freaking scary that some of them have these thoughts:

In a display of juvenile gallows humor, the hashtag #BoomerRemover, a nickname for the novel coronavirus, briefly trended on Twitter last weekend.

Take it from me the cases are highly under reported. The numbers are many times higher. They are only testing people sick enough to be admitted into the hospital regardless of symptoms or exposure. Positive side is unless you have underlying health issues this is not a killer.

The lack of test kits is a failing that the left is attacking Trump like crazy. Taiwan had their first case about the same time we did and they have the kits to test more in a day than we have tested since it started.

Case numbers are going to stay low and make people think it's not contagious if we don't get going.

The problem was the FDA. They required data to make sure existing test kits did not give a high percentage of false positives and negatives.
 
I was just informed that my diagnostic procedure scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled. The nurse said that it is considered elective and they were told to cancel all elective procedures. This is at a surgery center, not a hospital. They really expect the feces to contact the rotating blade.

I'm afraid you're right. These knuckleheads who are not limiting their outings will soon see what non-compliance and rebellion leads to....a prolonged state of emergency for everyone. Honestly, I was one of those folks two weeks ago but I'll do my part to prevent being a carrier.
 
yeah i'm not holding too much hope for mine next week. It's at Barrett Center at Cobb Hospital and I suspect they will need the nursing help elsewhere.
