FWIW Several years ago I had just returned from an overseas trip, then cracked a tooth. I asked the dentist what to do if this happened while overseas (I traveled a lot). He told me to chew a piece of sugarless gum and stick it in the spot. Never had to do it fortunately but always carry sugarless gum with me.

I had one dentist refuse to fit me in for TWO WEEKS when I cracked a tooth. I ended up losing it. Next dentist said it could have been saved. I was told by Dentist #1 that he did in fact treat me as an emergency (!) Got a great new dentist. That guy didn't stay in business all that long in our town.
My dentist is doing ONLY emergencies right now (she's not an insurance-grabbing dentist, she's a true professional). And she is able to take care of all emergencies within 24 hours (again, kept her practice at a reasonable size).

The nature of the hypothetical question was if in fact we had mitigated earlier, could lives have been saved? And the answer to the question, as I always do and I'm doing right now, is yes," Fauci said. "I mean obviously, mitigation helps. ..."

Starting next week, there will be a “Virtual Period” portion of the offseason program while team facilities remain closed, and later there will be an “On-Field Period” for when team facilities reopen. The virtual period will start April 20 until May 15.

"We will be sending out all the details and setting up calls with players and agents for how this will work shortly."
During the virtual period, teams can conduct classroom instruction, workouts, and non-football educational programs using Skype, or any other appropriate platform, on a “virtual” basis.

Has anyone had an antibody test? They aren't rolling out yet. AFAIK, unless you're at a university hospital (or outside of North America - perhaps in South Korea) there are no antibody tests widely available.
A person who tests negative for live virus isn't going to get one of the rare antibody kits - medical personnel and other essential workers must have them. Teachers need to have them before they can go back into the classroom.
But we still don't have them in California. I read this morning that they US buying them (from India, I think) but they haven't arrived yet.
California is supposed to try and produce its own, we shall see. It's essential if we are going to reopen the economy.

It's been on many MSM news sources today. It happened. IIRC, the participants were cited. But the virus certainly got a great chance to overburden poor Louisiana even further.
The participants are asserting their Constitutional rights and I doubt many will pay those fines.
Don't sell too many or advertise much. Before you know it, burocracy will find you need a health inspection and probably $ permit.

Go for it SA55! Send Tons of best wishes for you.
For now, I have a severe craving for Fig Newtons. Amazon Fresh says out of stock. Suggested Organic Oil-Free Fig Balsamic dressing instead. That won't do.
Rare for me.

only just over 200 active cases of covid-19 in the entire state
daily infections dropping over the weekend we had between 5 and 10 cases per day at the start it was 50 per day
so our isolation methods are working thank god
PS - prayers for the entire south of the usa, those violent tornadoes including 2 EF3's at night around 3am were just devestating

No one can explain the prolonged activity of this virus in some people. There are many theories. Even China is now reporting that people who were sent home after a negative live virus test and a positive for antibodies are testing positive again - sometimes for just a day or two. This may be an artifact of throat swabs, where the virus can linger around doing its thing (but without making the patient sick a second time - patient could still transmit to others, obviously).
Other people think the tests aren't all being run accurately.
The combo of Zpac with Chloroquine is being questioned many places, but it sounds like younger patients are doing well with it (it's correlated with heart issues in older people, over 60).
I hope we never lose sight of how ill this virus makes people, even if they end up in the "recovered" column.
