Yesterday's thread here:

“The end of April is about all we’re going to get.”
Sounds about right. Regardless of what others do, I’m still going to have to maintain current practices.
Yep, you did :)
I remember when we were discussing that (port/s closing, supply chains cut off, MIC meds being hard to get)...and, maybe a week later...that lady trucker, in San Diego, showing the empty port.
Pretty much confirmed what you had said and we all had discussed.
Nevada reported 22547 new cases today. I guess that was a backlog of testing I hope.
Wonder how many other States not reporting all their numbers yet.
“You guys still have the lowest infection rate per capita of any state.”
We do. Minnesotans have been really good about the social distancing and hygiene efforts.
Our Governor (a Dem) has actually done a respectable job so far. He doesn’t whine and complain like Cuomo does. OTOH, he did set up a phone line so that people could call in tips about others not following social distancing guidelines.
As is the case with Coronavirus - so far, so good. Each day is a new experience up here.
“Nevada reported 22547 new cases today.”
Is there an extra digit in there somewhere?
Check again. That’s more like the total number of tests.
“Check again. That’s more like the total number of tests.”
They just corrected it.
At one time, we were watching/comparing Czechia (who installed strict quarantine measures) and Sweden (who is going for herd immunity)....as they have similar populations, and had their first cases, at about the same time.
To date...
Czechia
Coronavirus Cases:
5,221
Deaths:
99
Sweden
Coronavirus Cases:
8,419
Deaths:
687
Czechia has now lifted some of their measures....

“I Got You Babe”?
He IS on cancer meds and in pain. I’m inclined to cut him some slack.
I hit 59 1/2 on one of my small 401(k). With all of the medical expenses this year I’m not going to pay taxes anyway. I am getting that out of the system. Because the economic damage (Big damage) is just starting.
Pay everything off and just live off the rest. Maybe buy a new grill! :-)
“You made this happen.”
Don’t I know it. (Ha Ha.)
More old codgers have called me names in the last two weeks than ever before in my life.
I wish I could make better things happen.
But if our little gang on this side of the forum got one or two people to buy some beans...I am happy.
“Good deeds and random acts of kindness during COVID-19”
Yes. The red beans, mexi corn, stewed tomatoes, chicken and chili spice mix are down for 40 minutes in the insta-pot.
Thanks for that update, it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out
Has lethargy finally set in..?
The virus is too weak and indiscriminate to be a bioweapon.
Those that exist are far more lethal.
***** Big hoax exposed
Ohio “curve” has Flatlined.
Tried to claim social distance, when actually metro flight hot spot. Trump right from beginning. Hoax
