some pandemic news tidbits:
it could be 2 to 3 years before economies return to pre-pandemic levels of output
pandemic pandemonium?
chaos, pay us
chilling and challenging
repetitious pleonastic redundancy
wreck reckoning
10 news sources:
wikipedia, yahoo, email, wapo202, echo (daily 'flash briefing'),
ny times, economist, onion, apple news, 1440
facemasks, while originally not recommended, can still help for 2 reasons:
1. prevent you from touching your face
2. if you have it (and they say maybe 25-50% are asymptomatic),
it prevents others getting it from you
it doesn't necessarily have to be a sneeze or cough,
breathing can transmit, too.
80% of patients needing intensive care have at least one underlying condition
(which means 20% don't!)
social-distancing needs "several more" (3?) weeks to be effective
size and scope
number of cases worldwide hit a million today, with 50k deaths
best and worst case scenarios, forecasts, vary widely
maybe 80-200,000 dead, of millions (infected)
a 102 yo Italian woman got it and recovered (good news!)
cold, flu, or covid? we need testing (isolate if sick, no matter what)
I think we need a strict, global 2 week lockdown, to get a handle on this
more pain now, less pain later!
there are several different strains
"mutating slowly, with 8 current strains" (3/30/20)
the dna code has been sequenced and shared with scientists, worldwide
it will take 12-18 months to make a vaccine, longer to do animal testing, and large scale trials, with more time necessary to make, ship, and inject. "likely at least a year, if not much longer"
We don't know if recovery confers immunity.
seasonality and duration are also open questions.
the mistral minstrel/minister got a mistrial
administer admonitions
infected and infarcted
orc orchestra
funny symphony
the duma doesn't do much
demulcent hos (hearts of space)
learn, yearn, earn, turn, burn, then into the urn
rhyming dictionary as a systematic source for puns
laughter, after
testing "positive"
god, guard-dog on duty
vainglorious- with inflated pride, vanity, or self-importance
