Sorry, I forgot to comment on the trials in China. Better there than here but I personally wish our meds didn't come from there anyway. I'd feel better if there were all made here.

Re: Corbin - I've thought long and hard about this question.
Truth be told, I just don't know. I looked at the stats for "standard" flu deaths this year since October in the US, and they are quite high. Maybe this isn't just about one virus. If this all is a world-wide distraction, it is certainly working. I hope soon the truth rises. Our country just purchased a lot of crude at a very low price. I expect we will make a lot of money over time on that alone, and hopefully our economy and our people will not be destroyed. Was this trip necessary? Time will tell. Be well.

I hate this sheltering in place crap. I think we are being panicked into doing things that are unnecessary and excessive to this extent. Prudent measures that should be taken for any flu season probably would have been good enough. And what of the destruction of the American economy? Is that worth it? Speaking as a person in two of the higher risk groups I don’t think so.
So I ask you gentle readers, what do you think? Was this trip really necessary?

We don't need to work with China...truth be known, they are involved in the whole outbreak.
