Cali is not even considering re-starting schools and larger gatherings until at least May 6th (or 8th) and I'm betting that schools won't resume until next fall. Just write off the spring semester.
As non-alarmist as I am about this, I'm also a realist. Easter is a pipe dream and dangerously early. We all need to keep our distance for at least a solid 6 to 8 weeks. On a brighter note, most folks here have stopped their panic hoarding and you can find what you need. the national guard will probably be employed to keep people from partying on the beaches and in the parks. My biggest concern here in LA (and SF) is that it will spread unchecked in the homeless communities. On another bright note I can definitively tell you what is the best 12" replacement speaker for a Fender Blues Jr. Eminence 'Cannabis Rex' hands down, no contest. *I tried every 12" I had in all of my amps and cabs - american, british, hybrid - the C Rex is the one. And yes, it took hours over several days. This post has been edited by klasaine: Mar 25 2020, 03:01 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Mar 24 2020, 10:38 PM)  (some are being told to buy their own gear and also re use your protective masks, which is just not a good idea). Sounds like a bit of a dubious claim to me. I doubt that a healthcare worker can procure their own gear nearly as fast as a hospital can get it for them, especially when hospitals are the number one priority as to who gets that gear now. Also, there are indeed risks with the extended use and reuse of N95 masks, but if the manufacturers recommendations and CDC guidelines are followed, those risks are minimized. So, not necessarily a bad idea. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/hcwcontrol...anceextuse.html This post has been edited by AK Rich: Mar 25 2020, 11:46 PM |

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Mar 27 2020, 11:34 AM) With self testing, they are not forcing anyone to submit results. Doing so would be pretty tricky. So folks that self test can just look at their results and keep it to themselves if they want. Only tests that run through labs / cdc are being included in the official numbers. I certainly hope that isn't correct. I am pretty sure that early on it was ordered that all test results were to be submitted to the CDC so that we can have accurate data on infections. It makes no sense that people would be able to keep the results secret. It would be simple to enforce if people had to supply some evidence of address when obtaining a self test which I don't think are available quite yet. The first to become available is one where the swabs are sent to a lab to be tested, so not much chance of keeping that a secret. It also appears that the FDA will not approve any test that does not require a doctors approval to obtain a test in the first place. So it looks like at this point that ALL tests will be run through labs and therefore will be included in the official numbers as they should be. https://hbr.org/2020/03/how-to-make-at-home...us-testing-work https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/...irus-home-test/ It has been ordered by the Governor that a shelter in place order is in affect for Alaska starting today, as well as a state wide travel ban. Looks like it's going to be a quiet weekend here at the lake. This post has been edited by AK Rich: Mar 28 2020, 07:04 PM |

As bad as we have it, we have it easy compared to Italy and Spain. Anybody here from Italy or Spain?
Sadly in the U.S. as of yet, we have ZERO FDA approved home test kits. There were some folks trying to do at home collection of swabs that could be sent in to labs and the results tracked as they should be but the FDA stepped in and pretty much said no, so far. So in the states at least, we really can't self test right now, at least not officially. HOWEVER, There are grey/black market tests available that claim to show results at home without the need for a lab to be involved. None of these are approved FDA tests and none of the results would enter the CDC tracking.  If anyone sees an advert for a home test in the states, make sure it's been FDA approved. Hopefully soon we will have at home testing.https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/...irus-home-test/ in England, they do have an at home test that is self contained and requires no doctor or lab. They bought 3.5 million of these but they have not been distributed as of yet it seems since they are still be looked at to make sure the results are valid. It's an antibody test to see if a person has already had the virus. If one has antibodies to covid, one has probably had it and may not even known it. The results, if positive, would indicate the person should have some level of immunity at that point. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/...ble-within-days QUOTE (AK Rich @ Mar 28 2020, 01:27 PM) I certainly hope that isn't correct.

https://hbr.org/2020/03/how-to-make-at-home...us-testing-work https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/...irus-home-test/ Alaska is pretty remote and I'm a bit surprised to hear it's being locked down but nothing should come as a shock in these times.

The numbers of infected are still going up all over the world, sadly. Dr. Fauci from the white house thinks we are 2 weeks away from the peak of deaths. Even the administration is saying 100,000 dead would be a "good" goal number if we can stay below it. We can be as positive as we want and still get sick. Taking care and taking steps to stay safe are all we can do. Here is the real time info on the global pandemic. The sky isn't falling. It already fell. It fell really hard on Italy and Spain. It's falling hard on New York. I just hope it doesn't fall on the rest of us. At least there is always hope
 721,233 INFECTED (not dead, thanks to crsn and rich for the correction, it's typo, I'm not a journalist so I can't really create fake news) as of this post.

It's falling hard on New York. I just hope it doesn't fall on the rest of us. At least there is always hope 721,233 deaths as of this post. First of all, I think you meant to respond to Cursin, not me. Secondly, there are not anywhere near over 721,000 deaths as you stated at the end of your post. Those are cases! Aka number of infections. Take a deep breath man. The death toll worldwide as of this post was just over 34,000. And that is not even in the same ballpark as the yearly seasonal flu death totals worldwide which has actually been fairly close to 700,000. Also take note of the 159,000 plus recoveries from Covid-19 which actually seems odd to me because if you run the latest numbers, you get about a 4.7% mortality rate worldwide which would mean recoveries must be higher than listed and should be 95.3% shouldn't they? So in the US it should be over 98% recovery, right? Recovery meaning, that percentage of infected didn't die, at least not yet. The numbers listed add up to almost 23% recovery but it seems to me that it must be quite a bit higher than that and I don't believe those recovery numbers to be accurate because I think there is a good chance that they are not updated properly. A great deal of them were not even hospitalized because there was no need. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2017/p12...h-estimate.html And just for the record, here is today's actual quote from Fauci. I know because I watched it. He didn't predict anything, such as 100k to 200k deaths, but the media is reporting as if he did. What he did do was talk about the LATEST MODELS scenarios. "There are things called models, and when someone creates a model, they put in various assumptions. And the model is only as good and as accurate as your assumptions. And whenever the modelers come in, they give a worst-case scenario and a best-case scenario. Generally, the reality is somewhere in the middle. I've never seen a model of the diseases that I've dealt with where the worst-case scenario actually came out. They always overshoot." This post has been edited by AK Rich: Apr 1 2020, 06:20 PM |

A video about how China succeeded (still in a struggle but life is slowly going back to normal there), I don't think the free world can take measures like that;
