I heard this (i think) former Obama admin interview on msnbc last night.  He's been calling for just a flat $1000 per adult and $500 for children payout.  Yesterday he said that might need to be doubled.

 

At first I was thinking, boy that's a trillion to 2 trillion in borrowing for the govt.  But there's the 1.5 trillion released for credit by the feds....

 

US is gonna have to deliver on something for the average joes.  Even just a interest free credit line for those affected or something.

In self quarantine for three weeks with loads of groceries on hand. Going to spend time cooking some new recipes that are easy, high nutrition and that hopefully taste good. I'm in really good health but I recently found out that my body doesn't process meat that well and I need to switch to a plant based diet. First on the menu is this lentil recipe from Washington Post that looks really good:

Good luck with that. Best friend is a Marine and went this route, and growing multiple plants in his house as a hobby.  I call him the Black Posion Ivy now.

The Worst-Case Estimate for U.S. Coronavirus Deaths

 

Officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and epidemic experts from universities around the world conferred last month about what might happen if the new coronavirus gained a foothold in the United States. How many people might die? How many would be infected and need hospitalization?

 

One of the agency’s top disease modelers, Matthew Biggerstaff, presented the group on the phone call with four possible scenarios — A, B, C and D — based on characteristics of the virus, including estimates of how transmissible it is and the severity of the illness it can cause. The assumptions, reviewed by The New York Times, were shared with about 50 expert teams to model how the virus could tear through the population — and what might stop it.

 

The C.D.C.’s scenarios were depicted in terms of percentages of the population. Translated into absolute numbers by independent experts using simple models of how viruses spread, the worst-case figures would be staggering if no actions were taken to slow transmission.

 

Between 160 million and 214 million people in the U.S. could be infected over the course of the epidemic, according to one projection. That could last months or even over a year, with infections concentrated in shorter periods, staggered across time in different communities, experts said. As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die.

 

And, the calculations based on the C.D.C.’s scenarios suggested, 2.4 million to 21 million people in the U.S. could require hospitalization, potentially crushing the nation’s medical system, which has only about 925,000 staffed hospital beds. Fewer than a tenth of those are for people who are critically ill.

Announcing he has contracted coronavirus.  Will say it's no big deal.  He has the best immune system.  Will not self-quarantine.  

 

"Just like the flu as I announced before, in spite of the doctors saying it was dangerous. I know more than the doctors, as I told them."
