So let's now actually talk about that. The situation with the virus is getting to the point where there is now a blanket recommendation from the head of the WHO for people age 60, plus to simply
avoid crowded areas, period. This is Dr. Ted Ross, "adenom a brass who says, that people 60 and over, should stay off of trains, buses, even potentially supermarkets to avoid contracting the virus
tweeting yesterday, quote, "If you are 60 plus or have an underlying condition like cardiovascular disease, a respiratory condition, or diabetes, you have a higher risk of developing a severe case of
the virus try to avoid crowded areas or places where you might interact with people who are sick also adding to reduce your risk from a new infection. If you're six day home, even sleep separately
from your family use different utensils and cutlery to eat. If you develop shortness of breath, call your doctor and get care right away this is not the type of advice doctors give when there is no
reason to be concerned. And in the meantime here in the United States, we are now up and over 100 cases so far, as of right now, and this number may change by the time you listen or watch listen to
or watch this six people have died. In terms of the age demographics, it's still overwhelmingly affecting an older population with the most serious cases. The death rate for those up to 39 is 02%
those in their 40s have a death rate of 04%, those in their 50s, 13%In the 60s, it's 36% and if you're in your 70s, there's an 8% death rate in the 80s, it is anywhere from a 15 to 22% death rate among
the young... It is also presumably weighted towards those with pre­existing and underlying conditions and in terms of those the death rate if you get the virus with cardiovascular disease is 10
to 13% that's serious followed by diabetes death rate of 7­9%Respiratory disease to eight high blood pressure 6 to 8, and cancer 5 to 8 among those without pre­existing conditions, the death rate
appears to be right around 1% median age outside of China for cases is 45 among hospitalized patients. The median age is 56. now there have been some strange rumors spreading.
For example that black people may be naturally immune. This is not true, it just hasn't started to spread in African countries and that is causing some
confusion. Algeria had three cases otherwise not many cases in Africa, at all. And it is not true that black people are immune in case you fell for that, one yesterday at multiple CVS is here in the
Boston area, as well as whole foods all and sanitizer, totally sold out. Now, this is less about whether hand sanitizer is effective by the way, then more about the panic that it's building there are
people tweeting that hand sanitizer, kills bacteria, not viruses. At the same time, there are reports that high alcohol content hand sanitize or 90% or more does most viruses, but then there are other
reports that it kills most viruses, but not this one. 03/04/20 Page 7 of 17

with soap just being the best thing to do, and that's true. There's a practical difficulty of when you're out in public and you touch your phone and you touch
your groceries and you touch money and you hand your credit card to someone and they hand it back and then you grab the shared half and half to put in your coffee, which 100 people have
touched. It is more difficult in public when even going to public bathrooms, you're likely to come up against a lot of other people's terms but certainly, it seems that hand washing is the best activity
one can undertake. Let me know what you're doing about this, if anything, I know a lot of people doing nothing off for the time being.
We will have a maybe a poll or some kind of survey on our Instagram page at pavement so... And while you're there, follow me on. And the ground
