(I am reposting the following here because it is relevant, and the attached video is very informative)
Unfortunately, a large percentage of the people in the US (and the world in general) will eventually get infected. Projections range from 20% to 70% of the population will eventually get infected. Infections are growing exponentially.
What needs to happen is to slow down the rate of transmittal because hospitals are projected to be overwhelmed with serious Coronavirus cases within the next two weeks.
This virus gets transmitted very, very easily. The majority of those who are infected (80%) will feel minor effects from the virus, but they will still be very contagious. And 20% of those infected will suffer more serious symptoms and a percentage of them will need to be hospitalized (Coronavirus induced pneumonia requires respiratory treatment).
If we slow the rate of transmittal by not gathering in public places with many people who can transmit it to others quickly, by washing our hands, and by actively trying not to infect each other, we can flatten the rate of transmission to a manageable level allowing hospitals to effectively treat the sick. If hospitals are overwhelmed, the death rate is going to quickly increase, which we need to try to avoid or this will truly be a disaster.
The hospitals in Italy are currently overwhelmed and their death rate fluctuates between 5% to 7% (6.64%). We are two weeks away from being where Italy is now.
Again, the problem with COVID-19 is that it is highly contagious and the death rate isn’t very high (I know, it is counterintuitive). If the death rate was really high, like 60% with the other Coronaviruses, then it will essentially extinguish itself. Dead people can’t spread the disease.
However, COVID-19 is highly contagious and a lot of people won’t get very sick but will still spread it easily. So more people will be infected very quickly, the total number of people infected will explode, and even the small percentage of deaths will equate to an astronomical number since so many people will be infected.

Not directly, as I am old and picky with my friendships/relationships, but I am seeing my favorite bars, restaurants, and no tell hotels empty up to the point they may close their doors.

I'm going to sneeze, cough and perhaps throw my ejaculate at anyone supporting Trump.

With over 60 million of those, pretty sure even your massive ballsack will run dry before you get a tiny fraction of them.
Prove me wrong though!
