There's more than a single source of food in the nation.

True...

:mjlit:

But we get them by truck regardless. And those other sources all have something in common...it takes PEOPLE to get it done. Now what if the people involved get infected?

They aren't opening back up next week they're laying the groundwork for how the reopening will happen.

Yeah they're not going leave this country on lock down past May. That's obvious. They can't.

I think the choice made is clear. They're going to force things back open, force people to work and there will be winners and losers. They're banking that more people can catch the virus and bounce back than die.

COVID-19-Mania has gotten so widespread that even Bill Clinton is practicing social distancing -- he now separates himself from interns through gloryholes during business hours.

Yep California may have already been thru a first wave and it didn't cripple us :lupe:
That would be interesting if true especially if the immune response/development of neutralising antibodies is similar to that with other Coronaviruses

15 volunteers inoculated with coronavirus 229E (a coronavirus that causes the common cold). Ten of them, who had significantly lower concentrations of pre-existing antibody than the rest, became infected and eight of these developed colds. A limited investigation of circulating lymphocyte populations showed some lymphocytopenia in infected volunteers. In this group, antibody concentrations started to increase 1 week after inoculation and reached a maximum about 1 week later. Thereafter antibody titres slowly declined. Although concentrations were still slightly raised 1 year later, this did not always prevent reinfection when volunteers were then challenged with the homologous virus. However, the period of virus shedding was shorter than before and none developed a cold.
The Time Course of the Immune Response to Experimental Coronavirus Infection of Man - PubMed

Among 176 patients who had had severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), SARS-specific antibodies were maintained for an average of 2 years, and significant reduction of immunoglobulin G–positive percentage and titers occurred in the third year. Thus, SARS patients might be susceptible to reinfection >3 years after initial exposure.
Duration of Antibody Responses after Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome

however there’s no guarantee that that’s the case with SARS-CoV-2

Plasma collected from 175 COVID-19 recovered patients with mild symptoms were
screened using a safe and sensitive pseudotyped-lentiviral-vector-based neutralization assay.


The titers of (neutralising anti-bodies) were
variable in different patients. Elderly and middle-age patients had significantly higher
44 plasma NAb titers (P<0.0001) and spike-binding antibodies (P=0.0003) than young
45 patients. Notably, among these patients, there were ten patients whose NAb titers were under the detectable level of our assay (ID50: < 40); while in contrast, two patients,
showed very high titers of NAb, with ID50 :15989 and 21567 respectively.

About 30% of recovered patients generated very low titers of SARS-CoV-2 specific neutralising antibodies

DID YOU FORGET 77% OF RUSSIA'S LAND IS IN ASIA?


:devil:
:evil:


Not at all. That is a point of contention for geographers, politicians, and the Russian people themselves. Europe wants to claim all of Russia, Asia wants to claim some of Russia. But Russia is for sure a European country, therefore I side with them on the topic.
