They talked about it in the press conference
I talked to my mom last night. I've mentioned it before but for those who haven't seen my previous post about discussions with my mom, she is a doctor (anesthesiologist).
So I brought up the idea with her last night I've seen some people float around here which is to let all the young people go about their lives and only quarantine 60+ older people and asked her if she thought that was a good idea. My mom is super passionate about anything medical related and got annoyed and upset and basically told me that is not a good idea and half-measures would have been useful back when we first saw this come to the US but since we now see it is beyond containment in the US a "hard reset" (her words) is the only solution now.
I told her that the numbers for younger people in Italy was below 1% in death rates and again she got annoyed and said yeah but we can't compare the United States to Italy because our younger people have way more comorbidities like Obesity and other health issues than most places in Europe. Didn't think about that and she is right. So comparing Italian numbers to ours is not useful. She says she has seen people in their 30s who kidneys and shyt are wrecked because of things like Diabetes and we have this higher due to our obesity and health issues. So due to this, our younger people are probably going to get hit harder.
She is the one who texted me that NYtimes article this morning to highlight why what I was talking about last night was the wrong way to think.

Tenet, could you send me this link too, I would like to share with my mother.
Also, my brother got his results back yesterday and tested negative!
With the “recovered” definition, there’s probably some variance but China was defining it as
1. improvement in Lung function/cough
2. Two negative Nasal-pharyngeal swabs, 24 hours apart
3. No fever over a 10 day period

I wouldn’t trip over the amount of cases becuz as more tests are available the number of cases will obviously go up. Just think there’s people who had this and beat and never knew. But passed it to somebody else. At least now people will know who has itNYC has 4K cases
