Three members of the group, who spoke to CNN’s Chris Cuomo Tuesday, said they want to remind the public that the pandemic is not over yet. “We want to raise awareness and get ahead of it,” Kat Layton told Cuomo. “We...
https://www.10news.com/news/coronavirus/san-diego-county-exceeds-community-outbreak-trigger “Thursday, community outbreaks rose to eight from June 11-17.

bendthecurve. #shelterinplace. #socialdistancingisnotenough “When a healthcare system gets overwhelmed, death rate goes up from something like 0.9% (Korea) to something like 3-4% (Hubei, parts of Lombardy).” “Italy death rate, worst is yet to come (lags case rate)” “US case count will exceed Italy’s in 5 days time” London and US (NY, Louisiana, Florida) still at 35pct daily increase due to...

No, cotton masks aren’t as good as N95 masks, but they are much better than nothing if N95s aren’t available. Some Healthcare providers are accepting these. Could be used in the community too. Even imperfect barriers are better than nothing. Save the N95s for the sick and healthcare workers. And make cotton ones for when we run out 🙁 Here’s...
Both Italy and South Korea were able to “bend the curve” of case rise from 35pct growth to 11pct growth, by different methods. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/italy-south-korea-differ-tackling-coronavirus-outbreak-200313062505781.html Lesson: country-wide action (lock down or test everyone) is required to slow the spread and avoid overwhelming hospitals. Lesson: must be sustained for many weeks (it took China 3 months). http://nrg.cs.ucl.ac.uk/mjh/covid19/
This is why I pay for my New York Times subscription. Has the best data visualizations. The below shows how China appears to be well past the first surge of cases, in about 3 months, after belatedly forcing people to not leave their homes.

Really interesting thread on reddit right now in r/askscience discussing the Spanish flu and coronavirus. The Spanish flu is thought to have jumped from horses to people when 1M horses were shipped from US to Europe for WW1. The Spanish flu is thought to have killed more than 15M people. “The initial...
Excellent article from the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-51674743
Another very satisfying meal at Meze 8n the late afternoon. We’ve gotten in the habit of late breakfast and early dinner giving plenty of hobby time before bed. Greek meatballs with lots of cumin seed. Red pepper hummus. And flaming shrimp and saganaki cheese!
We have been fortunate enough to have visited Spain several times and have become big fans of Spanish food. One of our favorite Spanish restaurants in the US is Jaleo. We love the Las Vegas location in the Cosmopolitan, and tonight we visited the location in Walt Disney World in the Disney Springs shopping center. Spanish food is still a...
“An analysis of 44,672 coronavirus patients in China whose diagnoses were confirmed by laboratory testing has found that 1,023 had died by Feb. 11. That’s a fatality rate of 2.3 percent. That is far higher than the mortality rate of the seasonal flu, with which the new coronavirus has sometimes been compared. Thirty percent of those who died were in...

https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/01/27/coronavirus-uncertainty-spreads-but-investors-shou.aspx “… Consider the impact of seasonal influenza (what we call “the flu”) in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that an average of 28.6 million individuals have become ill from the flu each year since 2010. An average of 37,400 individuals died each year in that span, including an estimated 61,000 deaths last year. Did...
Classic snacks at Albert Hynh Market. FRESH tender Stroopwafels, totally unlike cold ones. Carmel is always better warm anyways. And crisp little pancake Poffertjies with powdered sugar. Lunch at Bhatti Pasal Nepalese near Rembrandt Square. Delicious Chicken Chowmein with curry flavors, dry fried. Sekuwa BBQ chicken with furandana (crispy beaten rice) and mint and tomato sauce. Afterwards, we ran into...
Flemish Carbonades (beef stew with onions and beer), sliced chicken with potato galette, steak with herb butter. Quite possibly the best restaurant in Bruges. While Mr A was climbing the Belfry, we jammed over here to make a ressie. Good thing, as shortly afterwards, all ressies were gone. Comfy, nice service, excellent food, probably our best meal so far.
