"(Reuters) - Routine medical tests critical for detecting and monitoring cancer and other conditions plummeted in the United States since mid-March, as the coronavirus spread and public officials urged residents to stay home, according to a new report by Komodo Health.
...
Millions of patients postponed tests considered crucial for detecting early signs of disease, monitoring its progression and improving patient outcomes, according to Komodo, which has one of the nation’s largest medical claims data bases and provided its new findings exclusively to Reuters.

Cervical cancer screenings were down 68%, cholesterol panels fell by 67% and the blood sugar test to detect diabetes were off 65% nationally. This could all prove very costly down the road. "

Can we impose a limit on how many threads Darren is allowed to start every day? This is fucking ridiculous.

Hear, Hear.

It grows tiresome and irksome.

Get away from your computer Darrin and get some sunshine and fresh air!

I'll be out and about on a superload later this week.

That's odd since the governor in PA shutdown construction and the beams are going to a highway construction site. Given the extreme length, weight, and the fact the beams are prestressed you can't handle them easily.

Normally they're picked by two cranes and set in their final position.

Thanks for you heartfelt concern.
