Ironically the processed shit that Americans put into their body will kill way more people than this Virus caused by these bat eating slobs.

Hong Kong flu 1968/69
4 million worldwide dead
UK 80,000 dead

First I ever heard about it today

Why was it not seen as that much of a problem?
Easy, no internet back then

seems the sources fluctuate 1million and 4 million seems to be a bit of a stretch

the 80k in the UK seems consistent across sources

amazingly the Spanish flu in 1918 had 200,000 UK deaths roughly 0.5% of the pre war population, so a higher percentage it being post war

Nice try, that’s not exactly a “tiny home”.  I meant given your living situation, with your daughter and grandchildren and soon to be great grandchild, it might be safer for you to be on your own in a small place as opposed to your current home.

I referred to the tiny homes because Oregon has a tiny home community set up for homeless people. They are transition homes.

Stay safe. Weirdo.

Not sure why you think it would be safer for me to live elsewhere. 'Our' house is my house, which I share with them. If something happens to me or I decided to sell it, my kids would probably get something smaller and less expensive to maintain. They've sometimes talked about moving back to Hawaii.

No, the place in the picture I posted isn't technically a 'tiny house' in the strictest sense. What it is, is an example of my ideal of a small one person place. Anything tinier would feel too claustrophobic to me. How folks sleep in those lofts where the ceiling is so low that you can barely sit up much less stand would make me even crazier than  and weirder than I already am. Also, I have a lot of clothes and need a decent sized closet.  ;)

Exactly.  Can we believe any numbers, form any source?

I'm surprised they haven't tried blood transfusions with severe cases.  A fully recovered individual would have anti-bodies.  And the fight goes on!

They probably figure it isn't worth it to give a blood transfusion to a 93 year old man with advanced lung cancer, emphysema, asthma and hepatitis.

Johns Hopkins immunologist Arturo Casadevall is working to revive a century-old blood-derived treatment for use in the United States in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease.

With the right pieces in place, the treatment could be set up at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore within a matter of weeks, Casadevall says.

The technique uses antibodies from the blood plasma or serum of people who have recovered from COVID-19 infection to boost the immunity of newly infected patients and those at risk of contracting the disease. These antibodies contained in the blood's serum have the ability to bind to and neutralize SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

“You can’t save everyone. This virus is very good at what it does, and it kills vulnerable people,” Cuomo said at his daily briefing providing updates on the outbreak. “The question is, are you saving everyone you can save? And there the answer is yes, and I take some solace in that fact.”

“Our health care system is operating. I don’t believe we’ve lost a single person because we couldn’t provide care,” the Democratic governor continued. “People we lost we couldn’t save despite our best efforts.”

A record 731 New Yorkers died between Monday and Tuesday, Cuomo reported. He cautioned that the death rate is a “lagging indicator,” meaning that those who died are often sick for weeks before they pass. More than 138,000 people in the state have been infected with the respiratory illness, with 8,157 new positive cases on Tuesday, the lowest rate in a week. The number of patients being hospitalized and moved to intensive care has dropped as well.

Plasmapheresis is a thing and they are running trials right now to evaluate the efficacy of it.  However, the supply is limited to those who are willing to donate.  Furthermore, the machines used to process this plasma are expensive and in short supply--nevermind the technicians that know how to perform this process.

It would never be a mass-produced thing but could protect those at high risk (healthcare workers, etc) and could possibly serve as a blueprint for a synthesized solution down the road

I thought Getbiggers had already established that this virus was originally engineered to kill fatties.

Fatties and those burdening the Social Security safety net.
