LT is out today.
Yesterday's thread is here:

Boris saying “We have done all we can” just makes my blood boil....
They have not.
No guts, no glory.
If they fought WWII like this, they would be all speaking German with jackboots on their faces.
Moody AFB - yikes.
Austin, TX - rodeo cancelled.
I think Singapore maybe handling it the best, heady testing and contact tracing. They had their first case on January 23 and only have 189 cases
“As of 11 March 2020, 12pm, MOH has identified 4,218 close contacts who have been quarantined. Of these, 981 are currently quarantined, and 3,237 have completed their quarantine.“
Data is hard to come by at this stage. But keep in mind this
isn’t the normal seasonal flu that we see most every year.
This a Pandemic Flu which has occurred only 4 times in the last
one hundred years.
What is pandemic flu?
A flu pandemic is a global outbreak of a new flu A virus in
people that is very different from current and recently
circulating seasonal flu A viruses.
Scan the following for some more info. How accurate
I don’t know.

How are things with you and your gf?
I’m aware of the difference in covid.
No “herd immunity” and it’s bad.
Hope I haven’t sounded sanguine about it.
The Worldometer site does. You just have to figure out how to drill down to the data you want. For ALL cases, you start on the front page.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Then scroll down to the graphs and click on “More Case Statistics” or “More Death Statistics” link below.
There, you will find a bunch more options to slice and dice the data. You can also find this data by country for a small number of countries.
For deaths, click below and scroll down.

Who are the “babysitters” going to be??
I found one of the anti-quarantine articles (older one) but this is typical of the garbage mass media reporting on this subject:
Thanks so much for the reply!
But by including the whole world they defeat my intent. Need it broken down: states, or at least by nations.
” Who are the “babysitters” going to be?? “
Teachers... but they should be local women on welfare.
Any replies from one who didn’t recover?
Definitely the best role models!
Expected as SXSW was postponed. Our next event is Yuma County Fair and so far that is a go...but do I even want to go? Then is Clark County Fair in Logandale NV and the Pima County Fair in Tucson. The St. Patricks event we usually do in Henderson NV had its cord pulled. That was to open tomorrow... Normaly we would be in Vegas right now waiting to set up in Henderson tomorrow am. But this year due to the Golden Knights Hockey team, we didn’t get a spot this year. Long story but ended up okay I suppose as we would have been stuck in Las Vegas...
Which means it's really, really bad.
They would only not reveal it if it would cause mass panic and disruption.
If they knew it was pretty benign, they'd be telling us that.
They haven't.
Instead they are banning flights from Europe and many places are enacting measures the likes of which we have never seen.
Watch what they do.
Do not listen to what they say.
Wow. I just went out to pick up a few things, mostly cash and a webcam for my wife, but stopped off at the grocery store. Not anywhere near as bad as that pic, but it was VERY busy, and people were filling their carts with all the standard panic items. I think Trump’s message last night woke a lot of people up who were not taking it seriously before. Funny how every guy has their phone in their hand. Asking the wife what to get “instead”.

“Didn’t the CDC sit the Kirkland nursing home fireman’s test off until it expired?”
