  2. Anyone find the whole Diggs interview yet? I was told that it’s on his Instagram page but I don’t see it (I can never find anything on IG).

  5. I’m on episode 5. I didn’t think I’d be interested but now I’m hooked. I can’t believe it’s a true story. Definitely recommend watching it.
  6. Really liking our CB depth!
  7. For anyone with Netflix, check out that new “The Tiger King” series. From the Netflix description I didn’t really think that it seemed like my type of show. But I kept hearing people talking about it so I decided to watch an episode. Its wild. Much better than I thought it would be. I can’t believe it’s a true story. Definitely worth checking out.
  8. ? Some good young men we have leading our Sabres/Bills. Jeff Skinner too: https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/sabres-skinner-donating-to-help-those-fighting-covid-19

  10. How do I watch this video? Can anyone post a link? Thanks in advance.
  11. https://www.today.com/video/severe-coronavirus-cases-among-young-americans-raise-new-alarm-81091653741 Severe coronavirus cases among young Americans raise new alarm Video says: - initially thought those over 65 were hit the hardest but the latest CDC data shows that patients between the ages of 20-54 make up nearly 40% of the hospitalization here in the U.S. -12% of intensive care patients between the ages of 20 - 44. - more than 53% of cases in NY state are people between the ages of 18-49
  12. For reference, they had their first covid-19 case March 10th. So it’s been 16 days and they already have thousands of cases. This isn’t even one of the hardest hit states (so far). This is far from the only story like this.
  13. That’s not the only difference though. For example, another difference is the hospitalization rates that we’ve seen so far. for H1N1, it looks like it was something like 22 per every 100,000 people. From 2009-10 on h1n1 hospitalization rates: https://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/hosp_deaths_ahdra.htm For covid-19 it’s something like 1 in every 5-7 people. So far, 15+% of people in all age groups 20 and over have needed hospitalization (closer to 15% for younger, and more like 30+% for older patients). If this keeps spreading at the rate it is right now, our hospitals aren’t going to be able to handle it and a lot more people are going to die because they can’t get the proper care. we never saw swine flu do what covid19 is doing in 1st world countries like Italy, Spain and the U.S. Here’s quick chart showing some of the differences between influenza and covid-19:
  14. Damn, sorry to hear that. You will all definitely be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us updated. Read this: https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-pandemic-vs-swine-flu.html And we are nowhere near the peak of COVID19 yet. It’s getting worse by the day right now. This is way different than h1n1 - both in the virus itself and the way it was handled. h1n1 wasn’t as contagious or nearly as deadly, and we had already tested over 1 million people for h1n1 within the first month. They rapidly made test kits and distributed them across the country. We are multiple months into covid and we still can’t even test people who are very sick, let alone the widespread testing that was done during h1n1. (I do pray you’re right about it not getting bad, but that doesn’t seem to be the reality of what is actually happening right now. Cases are skyrocketing by the day. We are up to 65,000 cases today from 6000 just a week ago. Hospitals in multiple states are already being overrun. NYC is getting pounded. Florida is starting to. They’re out of ICU space in Atlanta. Etc etc. read some of the stories coming from doctors that have been posted in this thread)
  15. Yeah my cousin’s wife works at a nursing home here in NY. she has to wear a mask all shift (when she’s around the residents, anyway) and they all have instructions to stay home if they are sick (or their family members are). But she’s been out and about when she’s not at work, and my cousin has too. The big issue is that people can be contagious days before they even start feeling sick. And though she wears a mask, they’re not properly trained in how to wear/fit them, and they don’t have enough to dispose of them as frequently as they should so they’re taking the same mask on and off all day and sometimes even using them for days in a row.
