I don't know why bread doesn't cost $20 per loaf. The reason men don't bake is because they are too stupid and impatient to pull it off. Nah. It isn't difficult, and it's a lot of fun. Don't use any machines or gadgets, other than the oven and, although it's bit of a workout, the bread will be fantastic. Either knead the dough to create the sort of bread that we eat in the UK, like your bread in the US, or use the French/Italian method where you beat the dough. Either way, fresh bread that you've made with your own hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mission27 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 4 hours ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: If you just look at China and apply their timeline here it should give a decent idea imo. It started there in November and they’re coming out of it now. I’d imagine we will be quicker about it if it’s truly a heat sensitive virus like some of the data has shown, but either way, it’s not gonna be a couple weeks and done imo. November in China though is probably comparable to January in the US. There were a few cases circulating but not widespread community transmission until a month or two later. January lockdowns in China are also about 2 months ahead of what we did in mid-March. So based on that timeline I'd say we peak sometime in April and start to really get this under control in early to mid May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 August 4th, thx for posting that video. Everybody has different POV, from politicians to MDs to public health officials to John Q Public This thing looks different depending on where you are sitting. Nobody has a monopoly on The Truth - she's sharing her truth and I'm grateful she did. The comments she makes shine a light on the anxiety of what she and her colleagues are facing day after day after day They are under immense and relentless stress ( life/death) that few humans can handle for any length of time. My heart goes out to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that is the timeline that was the basis for the social distancing strategy and the timeline we've seen play out in the major hot spots Italy is clearly stabilizing and the rate of infection is slowling dramatically We'll see what happens... if its not working we need to re-evaluate our approach.. .if it does work though it should work by May, if we arent coming out of it in May I think we're in deep trouble and need to consider alternatives Edited March 26, 2020 by mission27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to realize that without a vaccine, social distancing doesn't reduce the number of cases we will see. It only extends the timeline so we can better prepare and don't get hit all at once. Most people WILL get infected sometime in the next 12-18 months. The MN Governor explained it very well: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I triaged an individual in Brooklyn today with a fever, one of 3 primary symptoms, in the area of the country with the highest infection rate and they didn’t get tested. How long are test turn around taking in your neck of the woods? My wife and essentially half the hospital are waiting on results from an incident on Tuesday and then sent "rush" request tests today that they already said possibly next week. Absolutely pathetic on the turnaround times. I work in commercial real estate which I have always thought was archaic and ancient in how it functions, but healthcare right now (in my area of NJ at least) is looking awful.

Though I fear the need to "reopen" the economy by Easter will set us back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
