I’ve gotten the feeling seeing the task force taking the past couple days that they are worried about a vaccine never coming. |

“It’s the responsibility of every person to know when they are sick and can get others sick” might be the most ignorant statement today.

I wonder what's the permutation that yields the highest probability of infection for a person among these parameters: the "amount" of virus being shed by an infector through droplet spread, the amount of infectors shedding any "amount" of the virus, the space of separation between an uninfected person and an infector, and the persistence of the virus through droplet spread in an enclosed area. At worst, data concludes with a high amount of certainty that all it takes one viral spreader passing briefly within 20ft of N amount of people to infect a large percentage of them. The commonality among Italy/NYC/Spain/Wuhan seems to suggest that it's consistent exposure to infected spreaders to sustain the outbreak, and that seems too simplistic to be the case. |

She’s crazy.
So you want to open the casinos? I didn’t say that, I want people to work. There’s professional teams to come watch here. So you want to open the stadiums? You’re putting words in my mouth. I didn’t say that. I want people to work. |

Mutations are not strains in and of themselves. There are all types of mutations, called missense mutations, that can occur in an organism that result in no functional change. If you were to sample any person with a viral or bacterial infection, you are not going to find genetic uniformity within the pathogen. Also, since you are not transmitting all of the virus to someone through a few respiratory droplets, the virus itself undergoes genetic bottlenecking during every transmission. This actually happened to cheetahs several thousand years ago, which is why they have less genetic diversity than other big cats. Their study, which again has not been subject to peer review, does states that mutations have the possibility to affect pathogenicity of the virus, but this is true of every virus. |

I want them to open.
What are they going to do to keep people safe? I don’t care, that’s for them to figure out. Just open |
