Lol. I saw something yesterday that said there will be a ton of babies born 9 months from now. The top names at that time will be Angel, Charmin and Scott.Quote:

Nicky, Thanks for asking I am fine. My former neighbors in NYC are in self imposed lock down, here in Southern coastal NJ life goes on with only small noticable change in behavior. I went fishing yesterday and was surprised to see 10 or so others doing the same, several boats on the water. The casinos, clubs, bars, gyms and restaurants are all closed.
I have no clue when we may see a peak. It’s not going to be over anytime soon — a matter of months rather than weeks imo. Infection continues to spread in Italy, new daily cases in other countries like China and South Korea are finally tapering off — a sign they MAY have passed the peak of their immediate crises.
It took China roughly two months from the beginning of its outbreak for the country to reach its peak. And it took South Korea roughly half a month. It is impossible, however, to say when that peak will arrive in the US for many reasons — chief among them the fact that we don’t yet know the true number of cases because of how limited testing remains.
LOL I was having this discussion with my wife last night. During blackouts in NYC they see a spike in the birth rate, I imagine we see a spike nationally as a result of any lockdown.Quote:

It's not necassarily the development, it's the testing and clinical trials required to prove safety and efficacy.Quote:

A covid-19 vaccine developed, licensed, and manufactured at a global scale in twelve months would be an unprecedented, remarkable, even revolutionary achievement, as stated by Fauci recently. No other vaccine has come close to being developed that quickly.
>>John Shiver, the global head of vaccine research and development at the multinational pharmaceutical company Sanofi, which is developing a covid-19 vaccine, was at the meeting with Trump. “There was some confusion there,” Shiver said, that certain officials did not understand that “being in people,” as in human trials, is not the same as having a product. Clinical trials are conducted on healthy people, which is inherently challenging. “You certainly don’t want a vaccine that can make it worse,” Shiver said. “There have been some vaccine candidates historically that could actually enhance the disease.” Sanofi is working with the United States Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, a sort of biomedical darpa, to advance a covid-19 vaccine based largely on the vaccine candidate it had developed for sars. Shiver told me that the authority doesn’t expect to have anything ready for human trials until much later this year. “It’s difficult,” Shiver said, “to see how, even in the case of an emergency, a vaccine could be fully ready for licensure in a year and a half.”
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (cepi), an Oslo-based nonprofit organization, was established at Davos, in 2017, to help the world prepare for a “disease X” pandemic. One of its aims is to dramatically hasten the process of vaccine development. To create a viable, scalable vaccine “takes vast amounts of funding and R. & D.,” Rachel Grant, the advocacy and communications director at cepi, told me. “It is a long and complex business. It’s all doable, science can meet the challenges, but there is lots of attrition” before any vaccine gets to the point of licensure. The problem is twofold. First, there may never be a market for a vaccine at the end of the development process, because the epidemic is contained, or never comes to pass. Then, traditionally, if there is an epidemic, it may take hold in a developing country where the costs of research and development cannot be recouped. “The resources and expertise sit in biotech and pharma, and they’ve got their business model,” Grant said. “They’re not charities. They can’t do this stuff for free.”
The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (cepi), with funding from the government of Norway, the Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and several other countries (the United States is not among them), is trying to bridge the gap. The challenge of vaccine development is “what cepi was set up to solve,” Grant told me, “played out writ large in an episode like this.” Since the novel coronavirus emerged, cepi has ramped up its grant-making expenditures to more than nineteen million dollars. Two grant recipients—a Massachusetts-based biotech startup named Moderna and a lab at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia—have, remarkably, already developed a vaccine candidate that they will start testing in human trials in the next few months, and another biotech startup supported by cepi is not far behind. But, ultimately, to get three different vaccines through the final phase of clinical testing, Nick Jackson, cepi’s head of programs and innovative technology, told me, will require an estimated two billion dollars. >>

Interesting info
Italy didn’t have travel ban we had with regards to China.
I love how the critics are all MONDAY MORNING QB’s with this crisis.
They All have the answers and they can do it better.
What a bunch of idiots!
Especially the former Obama administration members....
The Ebola czar with Obama just criticizes Trump but won’t dare to mention the 1000 swine flu deaths under the Obama watch before he REALLY reacted.
Nicky!!! Turn off the TV. Go outside and take a walk / jog. Ride your bike. Chip / pitch some balls in the backyard. Do you fish? Great way to get your mind off things. Go for a drive.
Relax my friend. Please.
Cuomo just wrecked the Dow today!
It was up over 300
And it sank within 5 minutes of him talking
Thanks!

I will be surprised if baseball starts at that timeQuote:

Awful reporters!
Trump correct!
We need to work together..
Damn reporter only mentions republicans who sold their stock prior to the collapse and I’m glad Trump asked that idiot why she didn’t mention the Democrats who did the same exact thing.
Pretty sad if reporters that we have to see in 2020. Most are awful!
And those awful ones are the same ones who would NEVER ask the same questions if Obama was going through this terrible crisis.
So selective and political by the hackers that they call themselves reporters..
Ask the tough questions but be fair and balanced. If Trump is wrong then call him out but to just ask questions with traps or to make him respond back is an obvious setup question so their paper or TV programs have something to blast Trump... it is so hilarious and this is not a time to laugh....
Serious crap going on and some of the these reporters are just being used by their employers....
Mush, not being sarcastic at all, I really appreciate that about you. We may all fight like cats and dogs but there is alot of family on here especially for us old timers. Thanks u for reminding us of that.Quote:

The season is probably wrecked anyway so that is why if things get better let’s just scrap the season and dive into a tournament instead.
All teams would have a chance!

We are not even testing people who are not that sick. The actual mortality rate is really low here so far. We are doing really well. I have worked many shifts since this started, and my hospital is pretty well prepared. We all have enough protective equipment for now and there is more coming. We have set up trailers in our parking lot to help decentralize people with the virus and keep as much of it out of the main hospital as possible. Our providers have all stepped it up beyond belief and are out there putting themselves on the line for all of you. I'm very proud of my team, who has done a great job and are all keeping each other safe, while caring for people in need. I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about the elderly, chronically ill, and immunocompromised. We are here to help them.Quote:

Well then idk what to tell you lol
Nothing you can tell me
