Your facts are misleading and somewhat incorrect. We haven’t had time to have the exposures ramp up. Please look up what logarithmic increases mean, that’s what we are facing. Other countries are facing hundreds of deaths a day without a slow down. Once again, please stop spreading propaganda. Go watch faux news. If things don’t get slowed down, we won’t be able to care for our patients. Chloroquine isn’t even the most promising drug... there isn’t much proof, no where near the burden of proof to be confident about it....

You see what is happening in Italy because they botched their response. I don’t expect non medical people to understand but you’re uneducated in this matter. Leave it to the people who know what they are talking about.If it ends up looking like we overreacted, then we did the right thing.

Numbers are obscured from a k of federal tests.   if we had more tests there’d be more cases... this is a crisis the health care system has never seen in anyone’s time that is currently practicing medicine. the lack of federal government response is crazy.

@Brian Bradley

You are wrong. This is worse. We aren’t able to diagnose it because of lack of testing. Trump administration has dropped the ball. It’s political to cover up the cases. At my hospital we have to beg to send a test. Can seek out community spread. 

Any doctor will tell you this is worse than that. My source is 12 years of training in medicine .

@Karen Margrave

Yeah Karen. This stilL no big deal? Our hospitals are so underprepared if we have any sort of quick logarithmic jump of sick patients.

This won’t blow over quickly. Those parks will be shut down by the end of the week.

Any large groups will be banned. NBA already cAncelled.

My wife and I are looking to build a home that we would be happy in as our forever home but would prefer to move out in 6-10 years to buy more land/house. I’m a physician and if she’s able to become one, we will move. 

Is this smart during this chaotic time? From the purchase price, at about year ten, we’d have between 250-350 k equity. Assuming no depreciation or appreciation on a new build.

My wife has great style and her upgrades rent well on our rentals, so I think our design would be appealing.

Any thoughts on this?

Rates are so low now tho too. Which is enticing. 

Not sure if it matters. Doing 0 down, no pMI with special mortgage. 

Homes in the neighborhood range from 500 -1.25 mil. Ours is about 60th percentile but neighbors to a new build already with a million in

thanks in advance 


Eddie

Everyone is missing the point of influenza versus corona. Influenza has already established a foothold and thus has the capacity to infect millions every year. Once this gets out there, we could see numbers that make the flu look like a joke. It’s hard to say cause the mortality rate appears to be 2% but people are clearly going undiagnosed
