    -Gross generalisation: the Gendarme you meet in most of France is not at all the riot police deviants we have seen in some incidents with the the yellow vests.

    No everyone was supposed to be back home at noon and they went shopping many miles away ignoring the law. I went shopping nearby late afternoon legally and had no trouble.

    Bed time here, good night.

    Well, might be too early and too optimistic to say this, but are we seeing some light to the end of the tunnel?

    I know testing hasn’t fully ramped up yet across america, but deaths are undeniable and greatly emphasized and reported on...

    did some simple math; as of this post we have at least 8,500 infected (obviously will only grow as testing ramps up) but only 140 deaths? That puts us at a 1.61% mortality rate which has dropped significantly from just a few days ago...

    Not seeing the exponential death rate spike that happened in China, Korea or Italy which to me bodes well, because death rate only declined when the infection counts were at their peaks in China and Korea...

    I hope so, We need the bans lifted in the beginning of April or I don't know what this country might do. Especially if the National Guard is ordered to keep everyone indoors.

    #William 'In France, the police is an instrument of state and works with brutality and violence ; in Britain the police protects the public and is respected for it.'

    Smokers are the ones that get hit the hardest by the virus. Italy has a ton of people that smoke, along with an aging population

    Agreed. I’m French and parents live in Lyon still. Not as bad as what William says... France is finally realizing the problem and the UK are a complete danger to everyone right now with Boris being a lunatic

    Perhaps the stats will come out one day, that demonstrate that smoking was a big factor in the number of people who died from the coronavirus.

    Consider also that by smoking the person is repeatedly touching hand to mouth, either directly or through cigarette.

    Also read that other contributing factor in Italy is multigenerational families in same household, with the more social younger people going to the city for work bringing back infection to the parents/grandparents.

    Via Bloomberg Newsletter -- ****New evidence from Europe and the U.S. suggests that younger adults aren’t as impervious to the novel coronavirus that’s circulating worldwide as originally thought.

    Despite initial data from China that showed elderly people and those with other health conditions were most vulnerable, young people — from twenty-somethings to those in their early forties — are falling seriously ill. Many require intensive care, according to reports from Italy and France. The risk is particularly dire for those with ailments that haven’t yet been diagnosed.

    “It may have been that the millennial generation, our largest generation, our future generation that will carry us through for the next multiple decades, here may be a disproportional number of infections among that group,” Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said in a press conference on Wednesday, citing the reports.

    The data bears out that concern. In Italy, the hardest hit country in Europe, almost a quarter of the nearly 28,000 coronavirus patients are between the ages of 19 and 50, according to data website Statista.

    Similar trends have been seen in the U.S. Among nearly 2,500 of the first coronavirus cases in the U.S., 705 were aged 20 to 44, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Between 15% and 20% eventually ended up in the hospital, including as many as 4% who needed intensive care. Few died.

    It’s true that risk of death climbs precipitously with age. While there were only 144 patients over age 85, as many as 70% were hospitalized and 29% needed intensive care, according to the CDC report. One in four died, the agency said in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

    Yet emerging evidence suggests that infants and toddlers may also be at risk of severe complications. In a study of more than 2,000 young children with Covid-19 from China, published this week in Pediatrics, Chinese doctors found that about 11% of cases in infants were judged to be severe or critical, as were 7% of those in toddlers and preschoolers. While still a lower rate of severe disease than adults, it's hardly insignificant.

    In the White House press conference Wednesday, President Donald Trump implored younger people to stop reckless behavior, such as partying, going to the beach and hanging out at bars. Yet, as college campuses across the country close down and require students to leave, even the most conscientious young adults face a difficult choice. Finding their academic years abbreviated and graduation plans shattered, many are driving or flying home, where they risk exposing their parents and grandparents to Covid-19.

    The same concerns apply to young people starting out in big cities who suddenly find themselves under pressure to head back to their hometowns. Livia Calari's father has been begging her to come home for weeks. The 25-year-old and her boyfriend live in Brooklyn, New York, and have been nervously watching the warnings from officials intensify and the city they live in shut down. But they're staying put, for now at least.

    I saw pictures of Clearwater Beach, FL this weekend and it was crowd with kids on Spring Break.. I was really surprised. But then, two of my wife's coworkers, both millennials, were scheduled last week to go on vacation in Japan and Cancun. They were adamant to go.

    They didn't leave because their were flights were cancelled. They are now working from home as everybody else in the firm.

    My wife asks, "How do you reach the minds of these brainless ones that have such a fearlessness than they are immune"?

    Issue with that is the testing in the US is very low and test equipment is on the low side but number of fatalities is not going up too quickly ... yet? we hope they keep it down

    Also the drive thru testing how can u make sure you are not gonna get it from the person in front? testers are all covered but when they go from car to car there is a chance
    that they actually give you the bloody thing. The self test kit should be worked out quickly

    The answer is to bring back the Draft (for everyone) and then have a good little war. The bravado at the enlisting office changes after about 30 seconds on the battlefield. Compulsory military service is one of the great maturity builders in history.
