I heard there were 3 weddings in Monsey last week that a waiter that serves there tested positive.

I think the whole world should go on a preventive quarantine  for 2 weeks. 
Starting Wednesday, no one leaves their house anywhere, except for a skeleton crew of essential personnel.
This would alleviate the protracted situation we have now. Besides killing people, it's killing the economy.

So everyone else dies? People who need daily chemo or dialysis don't go for treatment? And if you mean the essential personnel would include the hospital  staff who would treat the existing sick people what about the essential services they would need to do their jobs. Someone needs to delver gas, heating oil, work in water treatment plants, staff the prisons...

Its a nice thought but its not realistic.

He probably just means whatever they’re doing in Italy now. (1/4 of the country is in lockdown)

All the people you mentioned are what’s called essential personnel. And it’s very realistic as it’s been done before in China.

People who need daily chemo or dialysis
Keep in mind that these are from the people at the highest risk.

Agreed as to chemo (people on dialysis are not necessarily immunosupressed) - but if they dont go out for treatment they will die of something else besides Covid-19.

I read that kidneys are one of the risk points.

That depends how needed those two weeks are and if it needs to be consecutive. It is a risk reward question.

Uh, no.  This guy predicts millions will die.  No one thinks the world is coming to an end.

He does add....but things can be done to change that (although most people are not doing those things).

Anyone here watch “Outbreak”?

Netflix put it in their featured movies. It’s going to freak people out.

I am at A NYC hospital with an elderly family member who has fever and bad cough but they are saying they would not do a corona test unless he was actually with someone who has a confirmed case because they do not have enough test.

It’s crazy, I would think they should test as many people as they can to rule it out. Hospitals seem very ill prepare do prevent an outbreak

Let me guess, the medical staff were not wearing any PPE.

They are fully geared up, found a stash of masks and gloves. Going to grab a bunch and sell on amazon for $100/per mask 😷😀
