    not so much to lighten the mood - although I think the data is reason to be cautiously optimistic...from NYT and the first link is more national
    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...3971fba176d6af

    this is colorado specific...the flattening of the curve seems pretty apparent....and the recent jump in death rate might be explained by a reporting issue from some counties that got backlogged....

    Yes, it exists, but just how common is my head scratcher.

    Not that you ought to take influenza lightly. Flu season in the US, which runs from October through May, claims tens of thousands of lives every year. This season CDC estimates that, as of mid-March, between 29,000 and 59,000 have died due to influenza illnesses. Add to that the misery of hundreds of thousands of flu-related hospitalizations and millions of medical visits for flu symptoms this season.

    That above is yearly. For most, in the U.S., we think little of "flu season". If someone is in a high risk group, they might always go for the vaccine and watch what they do - but most in society live as typical.

    Now, I'm not looking to start any debate. This bug is an unknown and as such taking measures that can be seen as excessive, in hindsight, were an unknown at the time. I'm hoping this shutdown event will be a one-and-done thing. I imagine that once life gets rolling again a "second wave" will happen and I hope we don't go into lockdown again (I don't imagine any lockdown will be to the same level - hopefully nowhere close)."

    FWIW - I had a neighbor (3 doors down) who is a nurse and she was exposed at work pretty early and got sick but not hospitalized (she has since recovered). Then an elderly couple across the way from me both tested positive on Easter (currently quarantining at home, but seem to be doing okay). Today I got a call from my mother to let me know my uncle just passed away last night from the virus (he had been in the hospital for surgery to repair a broken leg and somehow contracted the virus while there). So, I'd say you should count yourself lucky if you don't know anyone affected by this.

    We saw the 5 jets flying straight north - maybe returning home after the front range flyover? Saw one bigger plane that I thought at first might have been a commercial airliner, but it was pretty low and not on a normal DIA flight path, and then saw a helicopter circle around near it (probably news video feed?)...

    The below video is 30 minutes long. It runs quick though. Several topics are highlighted below.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDSDdwN2Xcg

    Dr. Richard Bartlett | ACWT Interview 7.2.20



    - From his experience with patients, Dr. Bartlett believes the generic medicine Budesonide, inhaled via a nebulizer, is the answer. Low cost, low risk, quick. The medicine is long used to prevent asthma attacks. "It's a respiratory inflammatory solution for a respiratory inflammatory problem."

    - Other high-population-density countries (Taiwan, Japan, Singapore) are using a similar process - with great results - very low death rates


    - He comments on the high number mutations the virus has taken (Iceland found 243 mutations as of April)


    - He believes a vaccine will not be possible, due to the high mutation rate

    - A vaccine would not be needed


    - The inhaled Budesonide process is not affected by mutations - it's still effective

    - Big pharma won't make any money on Budesonide (it's generic and is in ample supply)

    I'm getting my second vaccination in a week myself, although with so many abstaining I do think mutations are likely to end up being a huge problem.

    To each his own. Some people have other health concerns or life experiences that make them wary of vaccines. That article and others have been circulating for a while and have given me serious pause; when I was 9 I watched my Dad, ironically a thoracic surgeon, die on a respirator. Believe me I've had my reservations too. However, I first off am pro-vaccine across the board, but moreover I contracted Covid early last year and had a rough time with it to say the least. they treated me for Strep with a Z Pack, it was early and I was initially misdiagnosed, but conveniently that was the treatment at the time for Covid too. I mostly recovered, but for over a year I've had lingering symptoms, specificaly incredible pain in my right hip and lower back to the point that simple hikes like the Quarry at Golden Gate Canyon were so painful I mostly stopped doing them. Uphills were torture, took all the fun out of it. My workouts were terrible as well. No treatments, yoga, exercise etc... worked, meds helped me sleep but I've been sleeping on my couch with my hip-in-the-dip. Three days after my first shot I woke up feeling fantastic and did (in sets) 100 squats, 100 good mornings, and 42 minutes on the eliptical. I am almost pain free and actually going hiking this afternoon.

    This lady had a similar experience:

    "To each his own."

    No reason to get a vaccine for something with a 99% survival rate. Simple as. If you wanna get nuanced about it have the at-risk folks seek treatment/vaccines and leave the rest handle themselves. Personal responsibility is key.

    Glad you're doing better now Paul, my mom was hospitalized for over a week after trying to handle it at home for 10 days on her own, it was brutal and took her months to recover before she was cleared to scuba dive again which is her passion. My neighbors brother in law had a bad case early on and was in a coma for 2 weeks and in the hospital for much longer. I also have bunch of friends including my sister who tested positive with not a single symptom, the whole thing is crazy.

    Getting my 2nd shot on may 5th and will be happy to moving back towards normal
