Was out driving and saw a couple dozen people on the street either walking, walking their dog, jogging, riding bikes. No one was wearing a mask.

Why do you need to wear a mask if you're outside and (presumably) not around other people?

Well these people were around other people. Like I get no reason to wear one on a bike, but walking around in crowded communities?

I'm just saying I was trying to make the effort to wear a mask on walks because if everyone did then we're all protecting each other, but if no one is, then I'm not going to wear one because there's no point and wearing a mask sucks on walks because you can't smell anything and besides the sun, the best part of being outside is smelling the trees/nature.

Ah OK, so they're morons.  Not staying apart is bad idea outside too.  Experienced the same thing this past weekend in my parents' neighborhood and am not going back there to walk until this shit is back to normal.

Yeah, I don't know what to do when I have to go back to work at the school. Wear a mask, and hope the kids are wearing a mask? They already packed the classroom to the gills because they didn't want to hire more teachers. Good luck fitting 30 kids in a small classroom while also trying to maintain 6 feet radius.

why not do pickup?

Pickup and delivery is up. I've been told but didn't verify that some regulation here is making a difference between restaurants and "caterers" with only the latter being open. Anecdotal experience : Pickup is only possible if they can serve you directly on the street. Delivery is more limited to pizza/burger/chwarma. Anything more sophisticated is closed in both cases.

i've only done food pickup at the chinese place down the street but they are only doing phone orders and you have to wait outside to get the food and pay. weed shops are still operating normally but just limited to 1-2 people inside at a time. grocery is limiting to 20% capacity.

That's jumping to conclusions all over the place. An earlier study showed that smokers have a higher chance of developing severe symptoms if they are infected.

"Recent evidence shows that smokers are more susceptible to severe symptoms if they contract COVID-19. In a recent study published by the New England Journal of Medicine, smokers were 2.4 times more likely to have severe symptoms from COVID-19 compared to those who did not smoke."

What’s the point of antibody tests if they can’t discern the difference between covid19 antibodies and other Coronaviruses?  Why are people carrying on like this is some kind of stopgap solution?

Were any of the other coronaviruses wide-spread in the west? If not, then it still seems ok.

There are many strains of Coronavirus. 4 of them are what we diagnose as the common cold.

Six species of human coronaviruses are known, with one species subdivided into two different strains, making seven strains of human coronaviruses altogether. Four of these coronaviruses continually circulate in the human population and produce the generally mild symptoms of the common cold in adults and children worldwide: -OC43, -HKU1, HCoV-229E, -NL63.[72] Coronaviruses cause about 15% of commons colds.[73] The majority of colds are caused by rhinoviruses.[74] The four mild coronaviruses have a seasonal incidence occurring in the winter months in temperate climates.[75][76] There is no preference towards a particular season in tropical climates.[77]

People must be shitty tippers in Kentucky;  my Barista friends make hundreds per shift in tips.

Could be the fact they serve coffee in see-through bikinis and show you their cornhole for $5.

But seriously at the basic trendy hipster shops in Seattle pretty sure Baristas pull in more than $600 a week in tips alone.
Average Salary in Harlan KY: $10.61
Average Salary in Seattle WA: $22.55

Yeah but everyone in Harlan county is getting paid under the table by the Crowders.

Damn one of my favorite restaurants is 25% off for the next month - I'm all for being a good citizen and staying at home but ...

My favorite burrito place closed a couple weeks ago... but this week I noticed they were opening again. You can bet your ass I'm walking over and picking up nachos tomorrow after work.

Meanwhile the chief of medicine in a hospital in Munich that is doing the study with it, is saying that the outlook is positive so far. They were able to get some people of ventilators faster.
However, it's still to early to make a definitive statement.

It is a big problem and all current studies should be taken as preliminary results. But I think there is a very rapid development concerning those tests and the tests now are maybe much better than those 2 weeks ago. There are currently about 25 different antibody tests in use and measuring how precise the tests for Sars-CoV-2 are is part of those studies. I think tests in labs have a rate of false positive of 2-3 % - so not that much. Not sure how many false negative those have, but as far i i understand this is less of a problem.

More than 50,000 people in the United States have died of the COVID-19 disease, a grim milestone in a global pandemic that shows few signs of slowing even as pressure mounts to reopen parts of the U.S. economy.

The death toll is 16 times greater than the number of Americans who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and about one-and-a-half times larger than the number of U.S. soldiers who died in the Korean War. At the current pace, the number of coronavirus deaths is likely to surpass the number of Americans who died in the Vietnam War by the middle of next week.

The French just gave KLM-Air France a 7 billion Euro bailout.
The Dutch government added 4 billion to that number.

It was worth about 3 - 4 billion and now about 2 billion.
In other words they're spending 11 billion to bail out a company and its shareholders that could've been nationalized for far less.

So far 36,668 new cases in the US today, which I think is a record, thought probably due to more testing as deaths are down a bit.

Wouldn't put much into the death number being slightly down today, but the new cases number being up is definitely a bad sign [especially with stay-at-home orders being loosened in a lot of states].
