Only about 40 yrs working as a Biologist, but it was primarily in mapping.

So Mr. Newbury what is your prediction then? I realize what mapping is.

I just read Starbucks has closed. I was always too cheap to buy coffee there, but there are a gazillion people who would be completely out of kilter if they
didn't get their mocha latte in the morning. Maybe a double whammy now, no job and no latte...

My older sister (79) and husband (85) are one of these, every morning they always went to Starbucks for coffee . . . not now!

While all the points you make (in your original post, quoted above) are accurate, the only hysteria I'm seeing is your reaction to the article being posted ...

If they had more data to report as to the exact cause of her death I presume they would have done so.

In the meantime, probably not a bad idea to inform folks of what they do know for certain ... so they can judge for themselves and adjust their behavior accordingly ... or not ...

Round 1 was negative, more rounds coming...

Natasha Ott tests negative for coronavirus after her death

Well NY is over 30,000 cases now.
We actually have a couple in the rural county that I live in now.
One of those is a city person with a summer home up here,
they came up here and brought it with them, nice of them, not.
The local hospital were my wife works has a confirmed case and a nurse has tested positive.

I really have to wonder what our elected state officials are thinking they are asking retired
medical personal to return to the field, most of them are in the group most at risk if they
contract it and they are asking them to work with infected individuals.

I thought Starbucks was still running drive thru service

Most of these retired medical personal are dedicated and very deserving of praise. And if the authorities do it right many will be placed in supportive roles rather than front line.

They are about a month from opening the first one in Murray KY. It doesn't seem to have a drive thru window.

Escape from NY. yes it was sort of an old tawdry movie with "Snake Plisken" and all, but now, not so funny. "hey Snake, we heard you was dead", "yeah, I get that a lot".
