In two weeks we won’t be tracking cases except in states showing zero now like Idaho and Wyoming....
Probably rode metro north with the lawyer.

LA air show canceled
South Carolina governor is following suit. He stated no schools will close or state government office will close yesterday
Univ of TX Austin is not cancelling “Aladdin” production.
I am circling when I see a bottom where the it stops dropping for one week I will start buying.
Containment is what will keep this thing in check long enough to allow countermeasures to be developed and deployed.
The only hysterical people here are the butflubros.
Stop creating panic about people panicking about CV - they are not, for the most part. But you guys are making the situation worse, as if you want to bring about the very crisis you decry. Once the people you influenced realize you were full of it and that it is now too late, *then*, they will actually panic.
It’s always the-sky-is-falling with you Meta Concern Trolls, you think the sky is falling because you think we think the sky is falling. But we don’t. We just want to be ready for the things we see already happening around the world.
I heard that Duke pulled out...so, there goes the NCAA tourney?
Agree.
Peace be with you, Art.
France— 595 new cases 13 new deaths —one day
“ Disney has to get those Spring Break $$$$$$$$$”
No one is going to go. The employees aren’t going to go to work. They will announce closures in a couple of days. What they hell are these people thinking? I can see this from reading news on the internet. Don’t they have better information and guidance from paid executives and consultants?
Is it some insurance thing? I.e. They need a national emergency declaration to get paid if they close, but the insurance companies keep blowing up the US Admin’s phones begging them not to declare one?
Stuff like this drives me crazy. The real battle is behind the scenes, over something we rarely hear anything about, people with too much money already fighting over more money, while the real battle against the virus is lost.
TN reported cases double overnight—9 to 18. Lookner

John left us a while ago. :(
That’s an informative article that should be read in every state capital.
But I question the will of American politicians.
39 dead so far in the US. So despite weeks of Wu Flu groupie hysteria we’re still currently much less than the flu. How many people did the flu kill today? Smoking related cancer? Car wrecks?
But please don’t let the hard facts get in the way of a good pearl clutching panic attack.
“ It’s a high-stakes test case for defense operations at companies including Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and experts say their efforts appear more aggressive than any previous crackdown on false and misleading information.”
Do you trust them? Are personal horror stories of recovered patients going to be considered “misleading” because we all know young, healthy people get mild cases and some never even know they are sick.
