  1. Now add in the large numbers of people who have or have had it and were not tested and it drops these numbers significantly. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/01/824874977/underlying-health-disparities-could-mean-coronavirus-hits-some-communities-harde
  2. Does Shitcago count? Let's see. Cities I've been to. LA, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Portland, Kansas City, Dallas, Orlando, Tampa, Denver, DC, Phoenix, Montreal, Vegas, Milwaukee, San Diego, San Antonio, Charlotte, Nashville, Memphis, Indy, Cincy (lived there), Detroit, Raleigh Durham, Atlanta, Jacksonville, OK City to name a few. How about you?
  3. Where is Ben's brother these days?
  4. Get the fleet's the fuck out of there and we don't have to worry about the Iranian's playing their stupid games.
  5. Maybe so but we are releasing non-violent prisoners early as well as announcing to the public low level crimes including assault won't be investigated then taking someone like this to jail. Yes she's a fucking moron but just keep handing her tickets every 10 minutes until she gets the point. Park playgrounds shouldn't be closed in the first place.
  6. They couldn't hand her a citation? What a fucking joke.
  7. You really think 800,000 people in the US are going to die in the next 18 months from this?
  8. I watched the video and stopped with that part of the propaganda. That was enough.
  9. Yeah the rental income in nice but having a safe place for the family to go is more important. We would also allow our in-laws and what not use it separately as well as they normally can't during the summer because its always booked.
  10. SMH. Very intriguing study out of....wait for it.....China. That video and graphic is fear mongering of the highest order. How the fuck can they say that one person's droplets would infect all those other people. What are they doing going around fucking sneezing in peoples meals.
  11. April 30th. Iowa was smart enough to break the state up into 7 regions. There are 4-5 benchmarks on infection rates and what not that tally points. Once a region reaches a total of 10 points the stay at home order is issued. This is better than statewide but I think it should be by county or even smaller regions. We are in the region with Cedar Rapids and Waterloo which are the somewhat hotspots in the state so we are shelter in place even though my county and the few around have far fewer and zero deaths. https://governor.iowa.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Public Health Proclamation - 2020.04.16 - Region 6.pdf Wisconsin has sent us a letter saying we should not travel to our cabin until May 26th. I'm just busy at work, hunting and planting so I don't have time but a letter from them would not stop me going to a property I own and pay taxes on. Considering this is likely to linger some thru the summer we are thinking of not renting this summer and use it more for ourselves during that time.
  12. Yep. Been saying the vulnerable should be the ones taking precautions from the beginning.
  13. There is way more than that on here.
  14. NE region of Iowa has stay at home orders. Might not be as restrictive as some states but we have it.
  15. Right over your head. Studies are showing its much more likely spread by close contact within homes than touching a hand railing on a public stairs.
  16. The public needs to know detailed data on the correct mortality rate and who and why its killing. The random one off story of a young person dying is causing too much fear for what actually is occurring.
  17. 22 would be equivalent to almost 200 in the US.
  18. Absolutely ridiculous some of these treatments and surgeries have been put on hold.
  19. So now we are back to 1 strain of CV? I'm not claiming this isn't much worse than the season flu but that doesn't change my assessment on moving forward and getting the economy going again. We may never have a cure or a vaccine. We cannot go on like this indefinitely especially considering the mortality rate is a small fraction of what is being told to the American people. Its very possible over 50 million American's have or already had the virus.
