YEAH, YEAH, YEAH = Go Go USA!!! Amazing...
After much reading and speaking with some Medical Experts I have reached the following conclusions (I am Hoping & Praying I am wrong but...)
1. We have NOT seen the worst of the Damage this Virus will cause.
2. China is now preparing for a Second Wave (and they probably did the best with Lock-Downs).
3. Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan who initially handled the Virus the Right Ways, are now seeing a New surge of Cases (The Second Wave?)
4. Given the FACT we the USA are currently behind the Eight-Ball with the Virus and our Govt. wants people to go back to work in a few weeks (the Damn Wrong Move)...
5. Wait until the Homeless Clusters get hit with the Virus, the Poor And those living in Poverty Neighborhoods,Senior Citizen Assisted Living Homes, ICE Detention Centers etc. etc. etc.
6. We are getting mixed messages from our Govt Versus what Medical Experts are stating...
7. We sorely lacking in Medical Supplies, Beds, Ventilators, Masks, etc. etc. etc.--What happens if a majority of our Doctors/Nurses get infected?
8. As the First Wave declines our Govt will encourage people = Life As Normal (see HK Article)
9. We still haven't grounded all Passenger Flights (which we need to do)
10.The Virus can live for 5-weeks in infected people -- so leaving 'Shelter In Place' too early = Well, you all get the picture.
11. Chances are real good for a GREAT Recession and MAYBE even a Depression.
PREDICTIONS:
--There will be NO MLB Season (see below)
--The First Wave will Peak June/July just in time for National Devastating Deadly Extreme Climate Events (see article below)
--The Second Wave will hit Sept. at the latest.
--Between The First & Second Waves over 2 million Americans will get infected and around 100,000 will die (if NOT many more) from the Virus
--If our Food Supply is disrupted we will have Social Unrest--How bad will it be? Only god knows...
--The Market will Fall another 25% than SURGE upwards as First Wave declines; when the Second Wave Hits = Just Massive Mega Diarrhea for the Markets
--Do NOT be surprised to see the National Guard and/or Military in our streets.
--AND when the Death Tool Soars --We will use Skate Rings/NHL Rings, Large Walk In Restaurant Fridges, Refrigerator Truck & Containers for Morgues, etc. etc. etc. Most likely there will be MASS Burials
That was in large part thanks to action taken early on, while cases were spreading across mainland China, to implement measures that are now familiar throughout the world: virus mapping, social distancing, intensive hand-washing, and wearing masks and other protective clothing.
Hong Kong was proof that these measures worked, with the city of 7.5 million only reporting some 150 cases at the start of March, even as the number of infections spiked in other East Asian territories like South Korea and Japan, and spread rapidly across Europe and North America.
Now, however, Hong Kong is providing a very different object lesson -- what happens when you let your guard down too soon.
The number of confirmed cases has almost doubled in the past week, with many imported from overseas, as Hong Kong residents who had left -- either to work or study abroad, or to seek safety when the city seemed destined for a major outbreak earlier this year -- return, bringing the virus back with them.

And NO I am not picking on America...
Here in Mexico = the Citizens ARE NOT taking all directives seriously; plus, here in Nowhere we only have Three Ventilators (at best) and 14,000 folks = Do The Math.
I honestly think that WE in Mexico are Fucked, REALLY Badly.
This might be the END of the Do Me Legend

www.huffpost.com/entry/glenn-beck-coronavirus_n_5e7ab2d6c5b620022ab30851?ncid=newsltushpmgnews STUPID BE STUPIDTV and radio personality Glenn Beck is urging older Americans to return to work to keep the economy going despite the coronavirus infection risks.
Younger people, he said, could stay home to protect themselves from the virus that causes COVID-19 while older people ― who the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says are more prone to the most serious cases ― should keep working.
“I would rather have my children stay home and all of us who are over 50 go in and keep this economy going and working,” he said in comments posted online by Media Matters. “Even if we all get sick, I’d rather die than kill the country.” Beck’s comments came after he said he was concerned that Democrats would “jam down” the Green New Deal in economic stimulus legislation while Americans are home “panicked” over COVID-19.
Sending older people to work, he seemed to imply, would prevent that legislation.
“It’s not the economy that’s dying,” he said. “It’s the country.” READ MORE…

www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-25/hydroxychloroquine-no-better-than-regular-covid-19-care-in-study?srnd=premium Hydroxychloroquine, a medicine for malaria that President Donald Trump has touted as a treatment for coronavirus, was no more effective than conventional care, a small study found.
The report published by the Journal of Zhejiang University in China showed that patients who got the medicine didn’t fight off the new coronavirus more often than those who did not get the medicine.The study involved just 30 patients. Of the 15 patients given the malaria drug, 13 tested negative for the coronavirus after a week of treatment. Of the 15 patients who didn’t get hydroxychloroquine, 14 tested negative for the virus.
The results of the study weren’t statistically significant.

www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/italys-suffering-offers-potential-terrifying-coronavirus-preview-for-us/ar-BB11EFnC?li=BBnb7Kz A tsunami of coronavirus victims that is overwhelming health systems in Italy offers a frightening preview of what could lie ahead for the United States as case counts grow and hospitals run out of space and equipment to treat those with severe symptoms.
The strain is so great in Italy that the nation’s doctors have begun rationing care, making heart-wrenching decisions about who gets treatment and who is left to die. Obituary pages in local newspapers are running dozens of pages. Piles of coffins are stacked in parking lots.
“Too many for [the] crematory to burn,” Raffaele De Francesco, a microbiologist at the University of Milan, said in an email.
Just over a month after the hardest-hit Lombardy region confirmed its first case of the coronavirus, almost 64,000 Italians have been diagnosed with COVID-19 — or about .1 percent of the total population in a nation of 60 million.
Of those, 6,077 have died, according to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control. (A 10% death Rate). READ MORE…

www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/day-1-of-worlds-largest-lockdown-desperation-and-police-blockades/ar-BB11GR7V?li=BBnb7Kz NEW DELHI — In one state, police officers have staked out roads and highways, stopping any passing motorists and demanding to know why they were outside their homes. In another, doctors have been run out of their homes, shunned as carriers of the coronavirus.
Across India, crowds swarmed into food stores and cleaned out the shelves. At a fancy market in New Delhi, one man stuffed his Mercedes with groceries on Wednesday afternoon and then jumped behind the wheel and zoomed off — wearing blue rubber dishwashing gloves and a clear plastic face mask that looked like it fit with a snorkel.
This is Day 1 of how India is coping with the world’s biggest coronavirus lockdown, 1.3 billion people — nearly a fifth of humanity — ordered to stay inside unless vitally necessary.
India has reported relatively few coronavirus cases — fewer than 600 so far — but with the population density so high and the public health system so weak, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has imposed stringent measures to keep India from sliding into the disaster that the United States, Italy and other countries face.

www.huffpost.com/entry/detained-migrant-families-children-coronavirus-lawsuit_n_5e791bb6c5b6f5b7c549552b?ncid=newsltushpmgnews…On Saturday, a group of immigration lawyers filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security demanding that immigrants be released from family detention centers in the U.S. amid the coronavirus outbreak.
They say the cramped conditions, subpar medical care and lack of hygiene make these facilities a “powder keg” for the virus’s spread. And despite the fact that hundreds of detained families say they are showing symptoms tied to COVID-19, detention centers are not testing people for the virus or taking preventive measures, according to the lawsuit. The lawyers say they worry that an outbreak among the detained immigrants would be deadly and spread to people in surrounding communities. READ MORE…
