For what it's worth, my ex girlfriend is a forensic pathologist (think Quincy), so she gets a lot of information about what the state of Colorado is expecting. She said Colorado's peak is expected to be April 17 with 2300 deaths. Right now we're at about 100 deaths, so that gives you an idea of the trajectory of this thing. 

This is what Fauci and Birx are talking about on a national level...And even what the emperor has parroted in their own way. Next two weeks are going to be one hell of a bad time and probably a bit longer time frame for West Coast. 

Its tragic and hard to process at times (for me anyways). The bulk of death hasn't happened yet - and it's inevitable. 

So, what's everyone doing for lunch today? Tuna or PB&J???  :p

  Treatment of the symptoms is one thing, but controlling the spread is the goal of that policy.  One does not supplant the other, there are gonna be a lot of things we can do, whether or not we do it will define "our" sucess.

He sent that letter in un-secured channels is my understanding. Thats a big protocol breach. 

Did he have the safety of his crew in his heart when he did? Probably. 

He also probably knew how he sent it meant leaks to the press. I know I'm making some big assumptions here. 

Did he compromise natl security doing so? I think it could be argued yes and no. That carrier is a pretty big stick and letting everyone know it's potentially compromised from being 100%???

I agree,   there is something about doing the wrong thing for the right reasons that still means that there will be consequences for those actions.   I applaud him taking extreme measures to protect his crew,  but by doing so he opened up that crew and many more for potential harm.

I'm not sure which of his communique's got sent un-secured. But I suspect the veteran commander knew exactly what he was doing when he did it.
