    I heard one health expert say that we should want the kids IN school. We can't afford to have doctors and nurses missing work because their kids are home.

    I don't have school age children any longer but i agree and if it was me at this point i would expect some parents to just make the decision and keep their kids home.

    I sold them onLine and have no idea who bought them. Since I sold them through Ticketmaster who works through the NBA including the Blazers I'll presume they'll know who bought them. But how do they compensate those people and does it mean that I will get additional money for the tickets that I sold for less than face value and get charged for tickets that I sold for more than face value? It's a mess.

    An expert in Harvard University's Medical Institute has estimated that we will have about 600,000 deaths. That seems about right since the Covad-19 coronavirus has a transmissibility about twice that of the common flu and a death rate of 10 to 40 times that of the common flu..
    We experience somewhere between 50,000 to 85,000 deaths every year from the common flu.
    I've heard another expert predict that this pandemic won't peak in the U.S. until January of next year.
    We are almost certain to be in for some bad times.

    Dont think it's going to help much. Could actually could backfire. I get it though. You have to do one thing at a time.
