    In NYC, tests have shown maybe 25% likely had it and deaths are 0.26% of the total population. Even if we assume 100% in NYC were infected, the lack of deaths and hospitalizations in the rest of the country point to the infection being at most 20% of the US population having had it. If we assume 25% of NYC was infected then we are looking at 18 million in the US infected and can probably double that due to increased protection of the vulnerable so max is about 35 million infections vs the 5 million positive tests.
    It's like more prevalent in urban areas. For those of us who live in rural areas, we're much less likely to have been exposed to it at this point. It will be interesting to see what happens when a reliable, cheap antibody test is widely available.

    My daughter likely had it in March, but at that time they were not testing in Alaska.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

They so want to be the next tea party rebels but they were uprising against suffocating taxation from the crown of England that could have driven the colonies into poverty. These mask twits just want to disregard public policy and safety when it inconveniences them personally. They somehow got it in there heads that if they think laws and mandates are personally unfair they have the right to disregard them. They think it's them throwing the tea into the harbor.

    Sounds like she's as lazy as her mother.

    I bet she thought she should still get paid.
