I was one day off this sad milestone. I was not expecting the daily death<br>
rate to spike again to a near-9/11-equivalent per day. Granted, these<br>
curves are squirrelly.<br>
<br>
Spike, you gotta stop saying "this is like the flu". It is not flu. <br>
You are going to get people killed with that advice.<br>

Hi K3,<br>
<br>
I don't recall saying this was like the flu or offering anyone advice.<br>
<br>
If what I had in December was C-19, do let me assure you, it was not like<br>
any flu I ever had, or anything else I have ever had.<br>
<br>
My suggestion is that the house-arrest notion might be exactly the wrong<br>
thing: they should be shutting down subways, airlines, cruise lines and<br>
buses. If we have strict house arrest, anyone infected in the family would<br>
infect everyone else in that home.<br>
<br>
I will note that New York and New Jersey, two states completely dependent on<br>
mass transit to get proles in and out of their mega-metropolis, account for<br>
more C-19 deaths than the other 48 states combined. My friend from upstate<br>
New York reminds me that nearly all of their case load is right down there<br>
in NYNY, not in New York state.<br>
<br>
Subways and overcrowding are the big factors spreading this, not the beaches<br>
and businesses.<br>
<br>
