The US is on the same curve as Italy......
Dire warning from Italian doctors: How U.S. can avoid COVID-19 disaster

"The situation here is dismal as we operate well below our normal standard of care. Wait times for an intensive care bed are hours long. Older patients are not being resuscitated and die alone without appropriate palliative care, while the family is notified over the phone, often by a well-intentioned, exhausted, and emotionally depleted physician with no prior contact."

This thread moved fast. While I was out performing life sustaining activities. I suppose this belongs in the silver linings but the absence of traffic is divine.
I went out to pick up some some groceries and saw where they had put up what looked like a drive in testing facility in Palmdale at a county health facility. Traffic is still pretty ugly up here. If anything our defense industry seems to have ratcheted up.

Different hoes in different area codes, I suppose. (We're not the hoes in this analogy).
They set one up in our Zoo parking lot. I live about 8 minutes north of city proper. And was working bout 30 minutes north.

Today:

"According to Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton, patients who contract the COVID-19 coronavirus are showing new symptoms.
Acton said some of the data, particularly out of Cuyahoga County, show patients exhibiting GI upset, more fatigue, and sometimes not showing a fever, in addition to the previous flu-like symptoms. Previously, symptoms of viral infection were thought to be limited to those similar to the flu – fever, tiredness, and a dry cough, with difficulty breathing in more severe cases. Patients continue to show those symptoms as well.

A small study out of China found similar cases. Published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, the study found that GI upset, not previously considered to be a common symptom, were the “chief complaint” in almost half of the COVID-19 cases studied, CNN reports. Symptoms ranged from loss of appetite to diarrhea and vomiting.

Researchers warned, “If clinicians solely monitor for respiratory symptoms to establish case definitions for COVID-19, they may miss cases initially presenting with extra-pulmonary symptoms, or the disease may not be diagnosed later until respiratory symptoms emerge.”

They went on to suggest that missing early GI symptoms could have contributed to the early spread of the virus among health care workers in China."

Backed up to the bridge the other day I heard. If all those fucking cars had a positive case, I may head to the center of Lake Erie.

Can you charter a sub?

The two luckiest people in the county. They're almost through it and will possess the most desirable antibodies on earth.

How much would you bid for those antibodies?

We'll open the bidding at $1000.

$0.00

Holy shit! You still have traffic??? That's insane. Chicago is no small city, and there is ZERO traffic anywhere...

So where did he get the 1300 new deputies and what did they do before this week?
Some probably worked at the jail. Others probably did desk duty, school resource officers, overtime, etc...
