The biggest thing I see going on right now is that we are on the exponential increase side of the curve. it will take at least a couple of weeks for this curve to flatten out no matter what we do. Why? Because of the lag in between the time you are infected and when it is recognized as you being sick. There is also going to be a lag in time from when people are noted as having the virus and the occurrence of deaths. So the number of deaths will most likely go up exponentially also. So in my estimation it will be at least a week before we start to see the infection curve flatten out. (that is a best case scenario) and then about another week to two weeks for the death curve to flatten out. Unless we stumble across a drug or combination of drugs that will be able to treat those infected. And we do have some promising possibilities on that front.
So, be hopeful, but be cautious. Most of us on Pennocks fit at least one of the criteria for other problems that intensify the effects of Covid-19. So it is critical for us to do our best to take care of ourselves by isolating and distancing.

I'm on my phone so maybe someone can google it, but apparently there are studies emerging that some blood types have a higher natural resistance than others.

I have heard that as well. Type "O" is supposed to be the most resistant. Supposedly.
Aside from all that... It occurs to me that if we had been working for a cure for the common cold (which is also a flavor of Corona virus) we may have been able to stop this.
Only saying that because cold viruses mutate so frequently, that if anything was effective, it would have to "work around" the mutation, and attack the "root cause".
Probably overly simplistic, but what the hell... right?
Put another way, if they come up with a treatment for this, they might actually come up with cure for a cold.[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 03-23-2020).]

Do you think the pharma companies haven't been trying to find a cure for the common cold and doing so for years?

The things some people do just leave me absolutely speechless:

Use of a good gene pool cleaner is not always a bad thing.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 03-23-2020).]
