    My wife doesn't appreciate that I'm doing my part. She says, "all you gonna do is hang on that computer all day!?" I said, "I'm flattening the curve, honey."

    I don't think you need any type of takeover. Abbott just has to give Admiral Giroir a number - how much they would lose if they simply gave the license away to anyone who wanted to produce the test. The Feds then wire them funds in exchange for the CEO's signature.

    Instead of 50,000 tests per day you get 5,000,000 tests or more per day.

    Licensing, regulations, that type of thing. If others can produce the test without needing to jump through hoops, the supply can rise to meet the demand without artificial interference.

    I think I saw elsewhere where some FDA regulations were lifted or at least lightened, maybe for Telsa's factory retooling?

It ain't. The 50-59 and the 40-49 age groups have the most cases, but the 70+ group has the most deaths, by far. 54% of the cases are women, which bucks the national trend, 40% men, and apparently 6% who don't know what they are.

    Either they didn't update the hospitalization and ventilator numbers or the numbers put in/on equaled the numbers discharge/or taken off. In other words they're the same as yesterday.

    Any chance/hope the numbers didn't increase because there were no new cases!?


    Probably just an oversight updating the website...

    They did update the numbers. Only an increase of 19 hospitalizations but 36 additional on ventilators. Still not comfortable with the numbers.

    Right now most of us will take any good news.... even if we have to "spin" it that way! An increase of JUST 19 hospitalized...that's good.

    Hey, here's some good news, my former football bud, his initials are DC, is doing much better. Still in the hospital but his wife reports he is breathing much, much easier now.

    Don't know, but will inquire today. DC is embarrassed by this. Typical alpha-male who thinks he is invincible and sees this as a weakness. His wife has been more forthcoming keeping family and friends up to date. He is not out of danger, totally, but his high fever has broke and of course, as you know, that makes you feel better. So! he's ready to go home now! He's really just a big teddy bear of fellow. He was a terror on the football field, and a gentle giant off of it. I'll pass along more as we learn more.

    In sad news, heard that Tom Dempsey passed away. He was 73.

    You might have seen where some person in a grocery store went ballistic lamblasting a nurse who was doing some shopping after getting off of work. She was in her scrubs and some person shouted at her to get out, fearful her scrubs were home to the virus and she was spreading it. Saw that on the news.

    Well, something similar happened here to a friend of ours. Karla is a nurse at the NRMC and she was pulling a double shift. She did, however, have 45 mins between shifts to get something to eat and to swing by to pick up milk for her kids, then return to work. Some folks said some nasty things to her and demanded the store kick her out. The store manager did not kick her out but did escort her to assure she would be in and out as quickly as possible. After pulling her second 8-hr shift and at the point of exhaustion she broke down...that episode suddenly hit her. She was shocked by the reaction of those people. She reached out to a mutual friend via FB and my wife who is "Friends" with them both saw it and responded.

    Being a historian, I find solace in the actions and words of heroic figures from the past. It struck me that our frontline healthcare workers in this war are really under the gun...and to be treated like that....well, that is unacceptable. These words are appropriate in reference to our gallant doctors, nurses, and all the others:

    "Never before in the annals of history have so many, owed so much, to so few." - Winston Churchill
