so anyone who believes different from another is a "partisan hack? interesting...not. medicine is a science, human rights is not. refute dr drews facts, fine. people can choose to believe him or not, just as those who choose to believe the opposite.. that's the beauty of this country. so is name calling i guess.here's a good example- is dr sanjay gupta a doctor? is he a "partisan hack"? yes he is a doctor who happens to believe differently than i do, but i'm not going to refer to him as a hack. you see where i am going with this? no need for the inflammatory/ angry language never said he should or shouldn't be in this administration, i said if...so fluff, how much do you have to practice in order to be a doctor? or how many patients? nice try though. if a woman is 1 or 2 mos. pregnant, she's barely pregnant, right?
Is't that the same thing that happened with the 1919 pandemic? That it was the body's overreaction to the infection that killed more than the actual infection did?
TopperWe have been monitoring the pollution and traffic pattern. While things are quite slow, things are picking up daily.
I really think this new focus on defusing hysteria is counter-productive. The more hysteria, the more likely people go to hospitals and get tested. That makes it more likely they do not go to work, and do not spread this through their community. If they aren't worried, they'll go through life like normal and this thing becomes an epidemic across the US.
What are you seeing from your customers? I had a good chunk of my Chinese accounts go back into the office last week and were aiming at rush orders to be entered this week to start to catch up. Which is good news for us.To play the devils advocate, or is it to get expectations and worry at a manageable level? People clearing out Costco for non-perishables and stocking up like the end of the world is coming is not productive either. My GF’s company in NYC was working on protocol for people working from home for up to 3 weeks. When there hasn’t been a diagnosed case in the city yet.Preparing for yet unseen snarls in the supply chain seems reasonable and necessary, as does corralling expectations that people will need to live in a well stocked, barricaded bubble until it’s been eradicated
JWagsI am more concerned on the demand side moving forward. Supply chains are slowly opening up and believe, barring any additional impact in China in regards to the virus, that supply is not going to be an issue. I am becoming more and more concerned on the demand side and economic affect by the day. Unknowns make decision making difficult and there are a slew of unknowns at the moment.In addition, I remember my Dad telling me 40+years ago that you can talk yourself into a recession and that is my concern. I still believe the economic fall out is going by what this time in history is remembered for. Truthfully, would rather live with that than a big number of deaths and hope neither make this a bigger crisis.Again, virtually all factories we work with are open, but degrees of production ranges from under 20% to about 80%. Shipping bottlenecks can be a problem in the short term, especially on the air freight side. Not many planes heading that way.
MU FanI think manufacturing has been slow for far longer than nine months. That said, somewhat hard to quantify because of the great of over capacity in many sectors. Too many factories making the same products makes it difficult to judge. There are going to be a lot of shuttered factories in the upcoming months.
MU FanWe are putting a lot of time and money qualifying new suppliers in Vietnam and lack of supply capacity is a big issue. Finding right suppliers is a challenge in some industries, finding suppliers that can take and make volume is a bigger obstacle for us.We have had a high rate of inquiries from tier one and tier two auto component suppliers looking to qualify suppliers in Vietnam and Thailand. Thailand is further along in auto components, but I believe Vietnam is going to catch up in short order.
to protect the athletes from contacting the virus? that's got to be a misprint or your short sighted opinion, with all due respect. we may have lionized certain people in our society, but if it weren't for the fans, these "athletes" wouldn't be worth a chit. let's just say that if the games were to be canceled, it should be for the health and safety of everyone
To my knowledge, Spanish flu killed in primarily two ways. 1. Cytokine storm, which was essentially the body's overreaction to the infection. People who died this way were often between 18-40ish years old and otherwise healthy. From first symptom to death was usually a rapid deterioration.2. Secondary pneumonia. The primary virus did enough damage to the respiratory system that bacterial pneumonias were extremely easy to contract and extremely hard to fight. This was so common that the researchers named a *bacteria* Haemophilus influenzae because they were convinced it was the cause of the flu. (1918-1919 was really the hinge point of when medical science started to get its feet on the ground).
I was curious about some of the aspects comparing death statistics between influenza and Covid. It is true that those that are elderly are most likely to die (14.8% death rate for people over age 80), but comparing the death rate to influenza shows how much more dangerous Covid is. For those between 10-19. You are 400 times more likely to die if you get infected with the coronavirus than the flu.For those between 20-29. The likelihood is around 300 times more likely.For those between 30-39. 125 times more likely.For those between 40-49. 125 times more likely.For those between 50-59. 125 times more likely.For those between 60-69. 100 times more likely.For those between 70-79. 60 times more likely.For those between 80+. 30 times more likely.So although the overall risk of dying is highest for those that are elderly. The young are hit comparatively harder by Covid.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
