I'm surprised autoimmune conditions aren't on that list.

At least the younger Boomers and all of Gen X - my two sisters are among the oldest Boomers (71 and 65) and the 65-year-old works at the post office. They're well ahead of me (55 years old, no comorbidities, work from home [not because of Covid, most of my team is remote anyway]).

Aren't young adults also doing a good deal of the spreading, not just kids? That could account for it.

Or even cancer Here's a good story of the history of mRNA therapeutics https://www.statnews.com/2020/11/10/the-story-of-mrna-how-a-once-dismissed-idea-became-a-leading-technology-in-the-covid-vaccine-race/?utm_source=pocket-newtab&fbclid=IwAR0s8kjoK4AhcuewJe7QkbzfolGcxfsLtQUme12VTcoViyhw08au6ufiRtU

Pfizer/BioNTech will be following the study subjects for 2 years, so the number of people exposed is likely to increase over time, even allowing for whether they are taking precautions or not. But that is a good point - people should not be having to take precautions in the future, so I don't know how such people would…

Same here! I've been doing much more sorting things out, and my husband has been organizing the kitchen like crazy. I also learned how to bake bread (my husband has known how for a long time) and am trying a lot more recipes. Onion bread, roasted garlic bread, olive bread, sweet potato cornbread. Just made Cornish pasties…

Would you folks like this or consider it a waste of good wine? https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/blackberry-cabernet-sorbet/

@AnnPT77 is this what you mean? They just forgot to wash their dishes so they stuck the dinner on a toothpick and put it on top of the glass instead. https://vinepair.com/wine-blog/9-of-the-most-ridiculous-bloody-marys-ever-created/

Here's the full paper https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.12.20129056v1.full.pdf "Types" meaning symptom profiles? I see they're trying to figure out how to use a given symptom profile to predict how many patients will need respiratory support/more resources. interesting.

They should make masks with that printed on them! It's just that so many people don't believe that they will wind up on a ventilator "I'm young and healthy and it's only the flu/it's a hoax/(fill in other excuse or inaccurate statistic)"

Good to see you again! glad you are doing so much better. keep us posted, ok?

Welcome good folks! You have impressive statistics. @Mouse_Potato pole fitness sounds very difficult, every time I try to climb a pole I slide down, I can't even imagine. OUCH on the elbows and shoulders! are there exercises that can help with healing? @ExistingFish I get the impression that with lifts you reach a point…

No no no! I DO blame animals: I blame Ratty McEvil Rat

So much for going anyplace requiring a freeway around here :s https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/04/22/coronavirus-traffic-citations-speeding-100-mph-up-87-percent-stay-at-home-order/

So which directive is Los Angeles County getting? Beach or stay home? can't have both at the same time. https://patch.com/california/culvercity/s/h41wi/la-county-could-have-stay-at-home-order-through-august?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert

@snowflake954 this? https://www.irbm.com/news/the-jenner-institute-signs-an-agreement-with-advent-to-develop-a-novel-coronavirus-vaccine/

Same story over here, with people on my local Nextdoor fighting about it, and me being in a hotspot county. My big worry is that even if I run well away from people (say, the other side of a wide street), someone might scream at me if I'm not wearing a mask, just for the sheer joy of screaming at someone. People are on…

Try this: https://www.sourdoughandolives.com/2019/09/20/baking-with-yeast-water/ and there are other websites about how to prepare yeast using fruit exposed to the air.

Los Angeles County beaches are still closed. I wonder how many of those people in the photo are from Los Angeles County?

We don't know these things for sure, about how long immunity lasts or which antibodies mean people have immunity. Doing all this testing can help us answer these questions. But you are right that it will take a long time, months, to know the first answer.

It's a mixed bag over here in the USA. Some folks are being very careful, and some are not. I see a lot of arguing about what is safe, ranging from staying well apart and wearing masks to "the beaches are fine, fresh air and sunlight keep you healthy." More folks are having food delivered to avoid contact in the stores,…

May I steal that? (come to think of that, I've said the same for some other quotes you've posted)

Or as someone posted on one of my neighbor bulletin boards "We all had measles and mumps and survived nicely, we even had mumps parties. I don't know anyone who died from them" Well, does that mean you don't take medications because you didn't know any of the people in the clinical trials? :#

In Los Angeles County our numbers are going up (16,435 cases, 729 deaths) as our testing numbers are going up. At least more are being tested. We'll have to see day by day if the May 15 end of the stay in place will still be that date.

Those are GOOD! my husband made some last week. He's been doing a lot of baking in general - Welsh cakes, Irish soda bread, sourdough bread, the list goes on. Good thing we have an exercise bike. :p

In Los Angeles County, concerts and sporting events may be cancelled through next year https://patch.com/california/culvercity/s/h30mz/coronavirus-may-cancel-la-sports-concerts-until-2021-report?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert Our stay-at-home order is through May 15. I don't know if that…

Five short 11-minute bursts (extra 1 minute warmup each) on the stationary bike at higher resistance.
