well that doesn’t sound good.
But, it’d be better if the dates of admission were known. That is, are these deaths the earliest patients when plan of attack was unknown, or were these very recent patients who died in spite of up-to-the-second trial medication runs?
Yeah, that’s hubby’s thing. I don’t prepare, cook or eat those either.
I will cook the bambi but don’t eat that. The kids ate bambi though, lots of bambi.
“I guess it takes temperatures in the upper 90s to kill the coronavirus.”
There was never any guarantee that this virus would be significantly modified by temperature and humidity. Unfortunately.
There was a study published a little while back that gave numbers, but the per degree and per percent humidity modifiers to the (then assumed, not verified) R0 were pretty small and it would take very high temperatures and nearly 100% humidity to knock it down under a R0 of 1. Since then I believe the estimated R0 has been revised upwards. :(
Many small business owners say coronavirus aid may not spark additional hiring
“...Meanwhile, the unemployment aid included in the government’s relief package has made it more difficult to rehire because many workers are making more with unemployment checks.
“The National Federation for Independent Business (NFIB) is pushing the government to make it easier for loans to be forgiven.
“The group wants the SBA to eliminate the requirement that 75 percent be spent on payroll, or at least reduce it to 50 percent. It also wants the rehiring window extended beyond eight weeks and is pushing for a “good faith” provision that would credit companies for trying to rehire workers who prefer unemployment aid instead.
so, here’s how to solve the problem of those that ‘prefer unemployment’
Once the area opens up, reduce unemployment payments to pre-pandemic levels, and institute the rest of the rules for unemployment - that is, one must look for work and prove they are searching. Declining a same wage/same position offer from their last employer is grounds for losing unemployment.
“And why is it that the busom buddies of China don’t get defective thingys, but every other western country does?”
Because it’s war.
New York state rescinds DNR order for cardiac patients amid coronavirus crisis

Washington county sheriff says he won’t enforce governor’s stay-at-home order
Washington state’s Snohomish County Sheriff on Tuesday said he will not enforce Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order because it is a violation of constitutional rights....
“”As I have previously stated, I have not carried out any enforcement for the current stay-at-home order. As this order has continued on for well over a month now and a majority of our residents cannot return to work to provide for their families, I have received a lot of outreach from concerned members of our community asking if Governor Inslee’s order is a violation of our constitutional rights,” Fortney said.
Fox News has reached out to the governor’s office with a request for comment.

“In the past week Hands with a Heart transported 150 bodies, and Penepent said he is looking at close to another 200 to 250 to be transported this week. Most are going out-of-state to places like Connecticut, Vermont and Pennsylvania.”
I don’t hunt anymore, if you want to call it that nowadays, at least in my neck of the woods with stands and feeders the preferred method to harvest game animals, but I still fish when I’m not in quarantine.
Just to be clear, that was not about you but about the poster you said that to.

Brad Paisley says his free grocery store operating ‘at three times what we expected’ due to coronavirus
Country music star Brad Paisley joined “The Daily Briefing” Wednesday to discuss his non-profit grocery store in Nashville, which gives those in need of financial assistance the opportunity to shop for necessities while maintaining their personal “dignity of choice.”
The “Country Nation” singer told host Dana Perino on that he and his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley opened the free grocery store — a partnership with Belmont University and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee — about a week before “all hell broke loose” with coronavirus in mid-March.

Oh no, I didn’t think it was toward me :)
It’s just amazing how inconsiderate people will be.
Hubby still loves to hunt.
Can’t criticize him, it’s free meat.
FAKE NEWS HOAX, COMMENT SHOULD BE DELETED
If you've never dressed tree rats, I recommend watching a youtube video on how to dress and prepare them. They may seem a little gamey cooked in rice or dumplings if you've never eaten them. In gumbo or fried, not so bad. I still like fried squirrel, quail, venison, rabbit. I used to duck hunt a lot and they're best in gumbo or cornbread dressing. My wife misses them and will gladly pay $20 for a duck to go in her homemade dressing - which is some kind of good. Wild turkey is unbelievably good and puts store bought turkey to shame.
No doubt most city slickers will turn their collective noses up to eating tree rats, but I grew up eating them, and think nothing of it. Another thing, and most people who've fasted for any length of time (5+ days) know what I'm talking about, there is a point when hunger will make any food savory to the point you will literally have the desire to lick the plate.
Lots and lots of repatriation flights starting April 1 that we never hear about on MSM, because, why print good news, right? lol
But I’d imagine we’d have some asymptomatics incoming with 100 or more rescues on each flight
I’m not sure if we had any Americans on the Brit rescue flights, but here’s one that may apply to them:
