Twitter was ablaze with criticism of President Trump for saying that the death rate was 1% folks on twitter are saying it's four percent (based on USA statistics). Given the varying medical facilities, procedures, and restrictions, I wonder how to determine an accurate "overall" fatality rate or if that is even possible or applicable? Given the numbers posted above, 1170 cases in Germany and only two deaths isn't 4% can we compare or it silly to even try? Germans are manly men, not soft like in US. Can't make comparison. 1

Hope not, not because of a disease but for your taste buds. of course not. sauce out of a jar. pasta was in a packet that you put in the microwave to steam it. had some pre-cooked meatballs that I put in this steamer to heat up (I can't fry things and am not patient enough to heat something in the oven). Dinner was a success ... for me. 1

Another 15% need to breathe in highly concentrated oxygen - Not sure how you 'highly' concentrate oxygen but I do know, from years of owning a fabricating shop, that it helps with hangovers. Took Delta charter there in 78. As Ian Fleming said there was an oxygen machine at the airport...may have fed it a couple of quarters. Helped!

JohnJ Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 If what's going on elsewhere is an indicator maybe it will only last three months! But three months is past in china since it started in December, maybe four or five. Keep your hands off of your faces, most of you aren't twenty and worth a second glance anyhow! Yea like that would stop me if my eye got itchy from the pollen. 2

Bosco-d-gama Posted August 2, 2020 Posted August 2, 2020 Question - Many cities/states etc now have laws in place requiring that masks be worn in public places. And nearly all of those places have people willing to risk covid19 to preserve their choice to not comply with a mask ‘law’. Certainly some of those maskless souls have health insurance. The question is this: If someone who refuses to wear a mask in violation of the law contracts covid19 and requires costly care can their health insurance carrier deny them coverage (assuming the insurer knows this for certain)?
