News is reporting the White House is now projecting as many as 100k to 240k US deaths from this before it's over.

Be careful folks. :/

My apologies to ZombieHunter.

Be careful folks. :/

IF the rest of the country follows the same trend as NY, so hopefully it will stay way below that.

What does the WH know? They wanted this to be over the 12th.

If folks don't do the social distance thing, it will continue to spread.

I don't plan on going any farther than my mailbox for the foreseeable future, but we also have help coming here twice a day for sweetie, plus a nurse (we reduced her visits to every 2 weeks).

Thankfully, they all wear gloves and masks.

Ah... so it's basically a cell hacker (or celljacker)?

When you say "inserts itself," is that a chemical reaction that happens when it comes in physical contact with a cell? Or some other mechanism?

Yes, usually it is taken into the cell through being enveloped by a portion of the cell membrane and sucked in. This can be accomplished by having a marker on the virus envelope or something that mimics something a cell would normally intake - like a home invader ringing the bell and wearing a mask like one of your friends. You let him in, next thing you know, you're getting pistol-whipped.

When this is over, there will be a lot of folks disappointed that they didn’t get a chance to shoot all the looters and face down the National Guard.

Be careful, Mac, we don't want to lose you or your sweetie. Hope things are going as well as they can for you.

Thanks, we're about as good as can be expected under the circumstances.
