What have we learned from all this?

The good to come out of this is that Trump understands how vulnerable us as Americans are due to our lack of manufacturing that has been shipped abroad.

Flaming liberals are still blaming Trump for this species threatening virus, just tune into the twisted media and listen to what these so called educated idiots are saying, tell me that Jim Acosta is playing with a full deck. Does he really think that this country has a respirator for every person!
What goes??? Bob

I have learned to do a daily Lysol cleanse then stick an incandescent up my ass, to stay healthy.

If you are waiting for government permission to go back to living, good luck.

So its a hoax but one for which the president is pondering the possibility of injections of disinfectant?

I haven't checked to see exactly what the President said. Don't care either because I do not take medical advice from Presidents. Not this one, the next one, nor any of the prior ones. And I'm certainly not taking medical advice from a billionaire computer guy. Or from gov't bureaucrats, the gov't health bureaucrats have a terrible track record and they are the 'credentialed professionals.'
PS add journalists to the do not take medical advice from list.

Quick update: The US death toll from Covid-19 now stands at about 50,000, and that's in only about 2.5 months since the first US death reported. A bad influenza year might incur 60,000 deaths over 12 months.

A lot depends on how we look at these data. If you average out the deaths from all causes by the week, we find that for the last two weeks COVID-19 is right now THE leading cause of death in the US! So it's serious, and certainly far more contagious than cardiovascular disease, cancer, auto accidents, whatever . . .
Jim

No, COVID19 is NOT the leading cause of death - that would be heart disease (647,457 in 2017) followed closely by cancer. COVID19 would come in 10th, right behind nephrotic syndrome, at the current level. It will probably end up in eight place between flu and diabetes.

33% of public believes government is WITHHOLDING a COVID cure!

Clever making people think you have the answer they think they need

There's an interesting piece in this week's New Scientist. It appears
that substantially more men than women are being admitted to hospital
with COVID-19 - male:female ratios are 2:1 in Wuhan, 7:3 in UK & Northern
Ireland and 62:38 in NYC. Apparently male:female death ratios show
similar proportions.

It also seems that the same male:female imbalance also applies to other
coronaviruses (SARS and MERS) and to viral pneumonia, though this
imbalance is not seen with other respiratory infections.

However, older men are generally in worse health than older women across
obesity, blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, lung and cardiovascular
disease. The NYC study showed that, when this factor is included, the
male:female susceptibility to COVID-19 vanishes.

There's also a suggestion than, as several critical immune genes are on
the X chromosome and that, as women have two X chromosomes against men's
single copy, they may have higher natural immunities.

No, no, no, Dan

The real reason is that women have been cleaning and scrubbing with Lysol and bleach for years. We were just exposed to a lot of it. That is why we live longer.

Well, what have we really learned, just to make a few observations one can conclude that things will probably take longer to get back to normal as we understand normality.Food supplies are in danger of being limited as farmers cannot get food and cattle to markets. Gasoline prices are cheap, I paid 1.67 per gallon today, last time we saw that was the day GW Bush left office. Airlines are in turmoil, no passengers and fewer routes. Restrictions are taking a toll, you cannot even get a haircut in Florida. Georgia governor thinks tattoos are so important that the shops must reopen. The governor of NY thinks that New Yorker's keep the economy of Florida rolling. Trying to find a roll of toilet paper in a store is nearly impossible, thank goodness for the USA Today, a bit rough but it works.
Glider activity has been curtailed, not many dual flights and lessons, no baseball, cannot even go to Outback and get the special. Drove by Walmart today and say a 300 lb lady wearing a two piece tank top, WOW, that was ugly! I have seen a few good OLC flights lately and it looks like Moriarty is looking active and posting a few good flights. Take care and I hope everyone stays safe and enjoy their gliders.

I think what I have learned is I should have kept my ASH-26e all those years ago. I am starting to understand the benefits of a self launcher.
