New Orleans looks like another likely hotspot.
Worth shutting down an economy over?
Mardi Gras was a month ago, cases in NO probably peaking right now.New Orleans looks like another likely hotspot.
That just means everyone at Mardi Gras that got infected is likely just now testing positive and has spread it since. No way are they peaking yet.Mardi Gras was a month ago, cases in NO probably peaking right now.
Seems like the Kraut Heads are smarter than most of the rest of the world : https://www.npr.org/2020/03/25/8205...ath-rate-is-far-lower-than-in-other-countries
I hope not, getting ready to head to one now.Didn't they close parks this morning? I know we can go outside to walk but need to keep your social distancing in place.
April 1st?Great opportunity for the hand rail lickers to get out and protest for the cause.

Just looked it up. Trails, etc are open. They closed lodges, campgrounds, golf courses and a few other facilities. These are state parks.I hope not, getting ready to head to one now.
National Parks are openDoes that apply to national parks?
Parks are open, playgrounds are closed.Didn't they close parks this morning? I know we can go outside to walk but need to keep your social distancing in place.
Come on winbypin CHS and 2manybats where already making plans.April 1st?
I was going to visit my brother's family in suburban DC this spring and then continue south to my other brother near Augusta, GA. But there is no way right now.Come on winbypin CHS and 2manybats where already making plans.
KTrump initially dropped the ball, started to listen to experts and quickly got with the program.
He is clearly now back to following his "gut" with the stupid mention of opening things back up. The guy cannot get out of his own way.

Rough date. At some point yes, we have to get on with everything but I think it would be foolish to put all of these measures in place only to take them away prematurely. If that becomes reality there was little point for these measures in the first place (and they are working).Didn't you previously say that if the "lockdown" went beyond 2 weeks you would have a problem with it?
Are you having a seizure?Come on winbypin CHS and 2manybats where already making plans.
And it was the most deadly day yet. Over 200 died.Really nice day today. First in a while really. If it's any indication of things to come people aren't going to sit in their homes for long. Lots of people out. Talking with neighbors. Taking walks. I went to driving range. It was crowded.
And if she is correct, this virus really was not that deadly. I'm going to bet her model is off, but I still think we should get back to work.Seems like Imperial College of London isn't the only Brit university putting out demographic models on c-virus progression. Oxford has a much more optimistic take:
New Oxford study suggests millions of people may have already built up coronavirus immunity
The latest Speed Read,/speed-reads,,speed-reads, breaking news, comment, reviews and features from the experts at The Week UKtheweek.com
The Oxford research suggests the pandemic is in a later stage than previously thought and estimates the virus has already infected at least millions of people worldwide. In the United Kingdom, which the study focuses on, half the population would have already been infected. If accurate, that would mean transmission began around mid-January and the vast majority of cases presented mild or no symptoms.
The head of the study, professor Sunetra Gupta, an Oxford theoretical epidemiologist, said she still supports the U.K.'s decision to shut down the country to suppress the virus even if her research winds up being proven correct. But she also doesn't appear to be a big fan of the work done by the Imperial College team. "I am surprised that there has been such unqualified acceptance of the Imperial model," she said.
If her work is accurate, that would likely mean a large swath of the population has built up resistance to the virus. Theoretically, then, social restrictions could ease sooner than anticipated.
If this model is correct and like the alarmist models all modeling of the pandemic at this stage is suspect then Trump is right to think we could get back to work in the next couple of weeks.
I hope Dr. Acton is aware of this model.
None of which was related to people going outside yesterday.And it was the most deadly day yet. Over 200 died.
And about 3,000 died of heart disease or cancer.And it was the most deadly day yet. Over 200 died.
China is no ones friend. If they were an ice cream flavor they'd be pralines and dick.The SARS Co-V outbreak from 2003 most certainly originated from a live animal market in China. For 17 years since SARS, scientists have been warning that a pandemic from these live animal markets in China was inevitable. The world, including WHO, did nothing about it and here we are. This pandemic was completely preventable.
China knew about this new virus as early as November of 2019 and no later than the first week in December of 2019. They tried to cover it and allowed millions to travel in and out of China spreading it all over the world. China also refused to allow world experts in to help assess and contain the virus, which likely would have made a significant difference. China is not our friend.
For nowNo, not here in Ohio, people are allowed to be outside, running, walking etc.
