I dont understand the fascination with celebrities. No one would read the article if it was about Bill Thomson, retired butcher. I get that part. I skip any article that has a celebrity in it. thats just me to each his own.


If the story was Bill Thomson, retired butcher, suggesting a tech startup with no healthcare experience run the testing in our state, and the gov listens to him, it would be just as much of a story.

Well, this is something that might totally **** the herd immunity and "immunity passports" scenarios/concepts if this ends up being like the common cold or flu as it relates to immunity.

Maybe just me but that tells me if that’s the case then we are just going to have to live with it. It would suggest that we’d have to wait until a vaccine is created and it would also seem to suggest a vaccine is probably a lot further off.

You will still have temporary protection that just wears off over time, but I've been expecting that this just turns into an annual thing along with the flu and probably have to get two shots each year now.

Shows how much Info Reynolds has, or cares about the info she is givin.
She said each hospital would have to determine their ability to do elective surgeries. The state didn't order hospitals to do elective surgeries, they are just no longer prohibiting it.

Also out is the prospect that it will be 'just' 60,000 nationwide deaths by August.

We'll hit that by this Tuesday at the latest.

I think WHO was also in the dark on if there's human to human transmission originally so we'll see how accurate they are here. Hopefully very inaccurate.
