Update on my Bro, Sis and mom that had it. They're all recovered. The worse my mom had was really bad body aches, muscles tightening and diarrhea. My Sis, was shortness of breath. My Bro got it the worse. He tried to go for a simples walk and after 5mins felt like he was having an asthma attack and was dieing. Couldn't keep any food or fluids down. He went to a field hospital where they gave him meds to keep food down and a nebulizer. All in all, they're all feeling better and seemed to have beat this damn thing. Can't wait till this damn thing is over so we can get together as a family again.

Fantastic news. Now tell your bro to hop on a treadmill instead of outdoors.

Stimulus intended to help coronavirus-ravaged small businesses instead rewarding hedge funds, brokerages
If small businesses don't have access to the stimulus funds, they will increase layoffs — many of these employees are minorities and all of them working-class Americans — or face bankruptcy, as is happening today.

I'm referring to people are also asymptomatic with the seasonal flu and just have the ability to spread it. I never knew that before this.

So you close the subways for one week and then what? What is one week going to do when you still don't have the testing capacity, contact tracing and will not have a vaccine for at least a year from now.

Estimating the COVID-19 Infection Rate: Anatomy of an Inference Problem
Charles F. Manski Department of Economics and Institute for Policy Research, Northwestern University and Francesca Molinari Department of Economics, Cornell University
Abstract
As a consequence of missing data on tests for infection and imperfect accuracy of tests, reported rates of population infection by the SARS CoV-2 virus are lower than actual rates of infection. Hence, reported rates of severe illness conditional on infection are higher than actual rates. Understanding the time path of the COVID-19 pandemic has been hampered by the absence of bounds on infection rates that are credible and informative. This paper explains the logical problem of bounding these rates and reports illustrative findings, using data from Illinois, New York, and Italy. We combine the data with assumptions on the infection rate in the untested population and on the accuracy of the tests that appear credible in the current context. We find that the infection rate might be substantially higher than reported. We also find that the infection fatality rate in Italy is substantially lower than reported.

your right one week is not enough
the subways need to be closed for a lot longer
contact Tracing at this point I believe can’t be done too many people have it in the 5 Boros of nyc
if it takes a year then that’s what it takes to shut the subway down Before we can get a vaccine that might or might not work too many people are sick or Dying there’s no easy solution to this
there are also a lot of homeless people sleeping on the Subway now
I’m sure a lot of them are carriers
also with the Hundreds of thousands of people Who use the Subway and buses Everyday thats what caused this to explode in nyc

Just to let you know, I agree that the packed subways and buses most likely contributed to the rapid spread of Covid in NY and other cities, but it would be very difficult to implement a shut down of all public transportation in a city like NY for an entire year.

Agreed. It is very sad and frustrating (virtual hug). I just don't know what the alternative is for big cities like NY.

Don’t worry you are far from the only one. That’s why I never got why some people are acting like they’re all medical professionals when some say the flu is similar and nobody was as concerned. It’s not even a conspiracy for me but to get folks to look at how easily people can be made to care about things you didn’t before.

Nyc especially cannot lay still. Never. It'll breakdown with the quickness.

nyc is slowly breaking down right now and even considering to opening up the city in the middle of May is a big mistake
Something needs to be done with the subways and I believe New York City needs to stay shut down at least the end or the middle or the summer
there is no easy answer and no one's gonna listen to a couple of Nike talkers

So... let me get this straight. Banks are worried they are going to get regulated, because financial industry is pillaging the stimulus meant for small businesses?Stimulus intended to help coronavirus-ravaged small businesses instead rewarding hedge funds, brokeragesStimulus intended to help coronavirus-ravaged small businesses instead rewarding hedge funds, brokerages

How will essential workers like healthcare and government get to work? Public transport is vital, if you shut it down NYC is done. Not possible.
