Gene DellaSala Has Coronavirus

The US is very fortunate to have Governors and state health depts. taking the initiative.

As the immunity of the herd increases the spread of the disease will decline until it is gone.

Or mutates you know like other viruses.

We don't really know how many have it here in the US. We haven't been able to do large scale testing so the numbers will be skewed.

No visiting Nursing homes in my state they announced that a couple of days ago. 

I'm more cognizant of washing my hands, keeping distance from others when out but that's all I'm doing that differs from my normal routine. Went to the gym this morning place looked deserted I guess that's a plus hopefully it will be tomorrow as well.

47 states to go KY canceled schools starting Monday for 3 weeks.

Well it was a marble rye.. 

Why assume it will be gone in 6 months? Not sure they know enough to make that prediction. Could make a comeback like the Spanish flu, might be a yearly occurrence where a vaccine is needed. This virus is new though similar to other viruses the experts I've been listening too say they don't know what course this will take.

Didn't know that, I haven't been in a Walmart for years. Is that a common occurrence in Walmarts? 

In 2009 schools closed, social distancing was enacted, US Gov declared a national health emergency within a few weeks and the CDC released millions of antivirals and respiratory equipment. No we didn't panic as much but it wasn't as deadly. We have no antivirals that work on this virus,  the response it to try and get ahead as much as possible with the only thing we can do make people aware and use social distancing, Hygiene methods of washing hands and covering sneezing and coughing.
