Did the Sun jump the gun? There's a full page listing in the Sun today of all the acts booked for the squares starting May 1. But virus experts are saying keep social distancing the norm throughout the summer. Six feet apart in the bar line. Doubtful. How's that going to work on Scooter Night? Maybe he'll create The Mask Dance. It'll be a shame to advertise the performances only to cancel them again.

They are part of the problem. Every two weeks the so-called experts have changed their numbers and predictions. When will people say enough? I already have! |

I have a question for you. What does this sentence mean, highlighted above? I think you mean that their opinion is primarily medical? That part of the problem and a significant part of the overall problem is economical? If so I agree. It is indeed very complex. I, however am one who is profoundly grateful for the medical advice of both Doctor Fauci and Dr. Birx. I don't know if anyone can figure out answers that will help us with this economic disaster. Anyone.

Florida (as of this morning) Tests 333,099 Cases 30,839 (9.2% of those tested) Deaths 1,075 (3.5% of those with COVID19) In the US overall, the numbers are a bit higher: US Tests 5,184,635 Cases 931,698 (18%) Deaths 47,980 (5%) I feel good/safe about the flu, since I get a flu shot every year. With COVID19, since there is no vaccine, there is a 9.2% chance I could come down with it. Since I have underlying health issues, I wonder if there is a greater than 3.5% chance that if I get it, I won’t make it. That’s how I’ve been looking at this. Is this not correct?

No, there is not a 9.2% chance the you will come down with COVID-19. Of those who have been tested, 9.2% in FL are positive but the only people (mostly) who are being tested are those who are symptomatic. Nobody knows the odds (yet) of testing positive for COVID-19 if you are asymptomatic.

Just read this this evening, and it is worth sharing.
Four weeks ago, on March 26, there were 938 confirmed U.S. coronavirus deaths. Today, on April 26, there are now 54,530 confirmed U.S. deaths. In one month, more than 53,000 Americans have died. Hoping at this point, someone can call for empathy, and wish the families well. May all the victims Rest In Peace. |

I for one don't want to tempt fate. Who knows for sure that opening the country back up is safe? If "they" want to open the country back up to save the economy, I can see their reasoning. I am a cancer survivor and feel that if I contracted this disease, I would not survive. My husband feels the same way about himself because of his age. We are fortunate to be able to shelter in place, have enough contact with family and friends through digital means, have actually an interesting life at home and WILL NOT take the chance of catching this on its rebound if there is one.
I don't care what the numbers say or how anyone wants to interpret them. I understand why people are desperate to open the economy back up. I feel blessed that it doesn't have to affect me, and I pray/cross my fingers/cast spells that it won't have a disastrous effect on the general public. I guess we all have to make our own decisions after things open back up.

It's all due to population density as well as the demographics of those who are dying especially in NYC with people of color & lower income being affected the most. New York City's population density (including all boroughs) of 26,403 people per square mile , makes it the densest of any American municipality with a population above 100,000. Manhattan's population density is 66,940 people per square mile , highest of any county in the United States.

**playing golf isn't important to me AT ALL since I don't play but it's a pretty big deal for many down here so I tossed it in. There is no economical concern, to me, you, or anyone else, if we are dead. |

![]() Therein lies the problem! No one knows how many "typhoid Mary's" are and will be running amok through the cities all over the US as people get released out of their homes. In an Ohio prison: In practically a worst-case situation where social distancing is minimal, around 80% of the inmates tested positive and yet the majority do not exhibit symptoms. Similar results (but not 80%) have been reported where non-symptomatic people have been randomly tested like in NY. Mass coronavirus testing in Ohio prisons shows large asymptomatic infection rate It's definitely the "HIDDEN ENEMY" we have to worry about it spreading from now not those who are already obviously sick.

Edit: That's just the usual "monthly entertainment calendar" in the paper and says "subject to change without notice" on the bottom Don't think it means anything official. If they start on May 20th (or whatever) you can go from whatever date they start.
