In this episode of Bink Tank, the crew is practicing Physical Distancing and Garrett does a deep dive on COVID - 19: what it is, its contagiousness measured in r0, fatality rates and how those numbers compare to other diseases. Sticking to numbers and statistics, he shows what it looks like all over the world today and the effect that Social (renamed to Physical) Distancing has had on artificially lowering the effects of the Pandemic. After a brief piece on the issues the U.S. is facing with ventilators, he finishes with Philippians 4:4-7. We are praying for "the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  If you are looking for an informational download on the non-political or economical side of COVID-19, and just simple facts; this is it!Sources:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/cases-in-us.htmlhttps://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.htmlhttps://www.flattenthecurve.com/https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/who-china-joint-mission-on-covid-19-final-report.pdfhttps://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/global-research-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncovKY vs. TN Graph: https://i.imgur.com/9mR94DT.jpgData In Graph: https://govstatus.egov.com/kycovid19 // https://www.tn.gov/health/cedep/ncov.htmlCOVID - 19 Megathread of Cases Worldwide: https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/03/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/ Personal Anecdote of Symptoms: https://www.facebook.com/bane1/posts/10218176351614167 R0 vs. Fatality Rate Graph compiled from WHO:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/coronavirus-vs-sars-mers-flu-how-deaths-compare-covid-19/
