Good morning, CB. You are welcome.
Morning, exit.
Matt is a jewel.
And now Nasty has the audacity to lecture McTurtle on wasting time on doing oversight of just what has been going on.
Total hypocrisy!!!
This was the “destroy Trump economy virus” sent over by China and aided and abetted by Democrats, Fauci and the media.
Well, I wouldn’t say low 40’s is warm but much better that low 30’s.
Morning, CB!
Oh my Rusty, hope you are ok.
Good morning, NIKK.
Happy flower planting to you!!!
Thanks for prayers ma, much needed in this crazy world.
Prayers for Presient.
Thanks for breakfast lysie, looks great.
Steve Schmitt is one of the most hateful people on the planet, I wonder what Trump has on him. If nothing, then find something quickly.
Someone had a birthday party last night here 20 people, his 50th, police arrested him. Unreal.
You know if we cannot get a 3 star general off, how the hell are we going to get these evil people under wraps?
Very discouraging.
Paul’s been up most of the night with a pain in his right rib cage. Thinks it’s pleuracy (sp). He’s called his dr which won’t reopen till next Wednesday and is trying to get hold of someone who will medicate locally. Probably just an antibiotic.
California doctors say they’ve seen more deaths from suicide than coronavirus since lockdowns

Doctors in Northern California say they have seen more deaths from suicide than they’ve seen from the coronavirus during the pandemic.
“The numbers are unprecedented,” Dr. Mike deBoisblanc of John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California, told ABC 7 News about the increase of suicide deaths adding that he’s seen a “year’s worth of suicides” in the last four weeks alone.
DeBoisblanc said he believes it’s time for California officials to end the stay-at-home order and let people back out into their communities.
“Personally, I think it’s time,” he said. “I think, originally, this was put in place to flatten the curve and to make sure hospitals have the resources to take care of COVID patients. We have the current resources to do that, and our other community health is suffering.”
Kacey Hansen, a trauma center nurse at John Muir Medical Center for over 30 years, says she’s not only worried about the increased suicide attempts but also about the hospital’s ability to save as many patients as usual.
“What I have seen recently, I have never seen before,” Hansen said. “I have never seen so much intentional injury.”
D1’s Covid 19 data
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3847472/posts
Have any of you tried to get local data. How many are infected in your area? How many recent new cases? How many in hospital locally? I keep asking local people wearing masks And saying they are in positions of authority. No one knows anything. My doctors reply “we are being very cautious!” Makes me wonder if we have any current cases.
Ok, a good not-freezing morning to you!
It’ll be around 80 here for the next week. It might be time to swap the summer clothes for the winter clothes.
AP count: Over 4,300 virus patients sent to NY nursing homes

More than 4,300 recovering coronavirus patients were sent to New York’s already vulnerable nursing homes under a controversial state directive that was ultimately scrapped amid criticisms it was accelerating the nation’s deadliest outbreaks, according to a count by The Associated Press.
AP compiled its own tally to find out how many COVID-19 patients were discharged from hospitals to nursing homes under the March 25 directive after New York’s Health Department declined to release its internal survey conducted two weeks ago. It says it is still verifying data that was incomplete.
Whatever the full number, nursing home administrators, residents’ advocates and relatives say it has added up to a big and indefensible problem for facilities that even Gov. Andrew Cuomo — the main proponent of the policy — called “the optimum feeding ground for this virus.”
“It was the single dumbest decision anyone could make if they wanted to kill people,” Daniel Arbeeny said of the directive, which prompted him to pull his 88-year-old father out of a Brooklyn nursing home where more than 50 people have died. His father later died of COVID-19 at home.
“This isn’t rocket science,” Arbeeny said. “We knew the most vulnerable — the elderly and compromised — are in nursing homes and rehab centers.”
The state order “put staff and residents at great risk,” CEO Stuart Almer said. “We can’t draw a straight line from bringing in someone positive to someone catching the disease, but we’re talking about elderly, fragile and vulnerable residents.”
The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine, known as AMDA, had warned from the beginning that Cuomo’s order admitting infected patients posed a “clear and present danger” to nursing home residents. Now, Jeffrey N. Nichols, who serves on the executive committee of the group, said “the effect of that order was to contribute to 5,000 deaths.”
Nationally, over 35,500 people have died from coronavirus outbreaks at nursing homes and long-term care facilities, about a third of the overall death toll, according to the AP’s running tally.

Sister in law told me her friends daughter called last week and said she thought she had allergies or sinus and by the time the mother got over there to see her she was dead.
Virus.
50 years old.
I need to do that clothes swapping chore too.
Need to weed out a whole lot that I never wore all winter long but have been waiting for the thrift stores to open up as I don’t want them just sitting around.
😳

Many US states have seen LOWER infection rates after ending lockdowns that are are now destroying millions of livelihoods worldwide, JP Morgan study claims
By TIM STICKINGS PUBLISHED: 08:55 EDT, 22 May 2020 | UPDATED: 09:53 EDT, 22 May 2020
A JP Morgan study suggests lockdown measures have not only resulted in economic devastation but could have also resulted in more COVID-19 deaths
Strict stay-at-home orders put in place in most states to stop the spread two months ago has so far seen nearly 39 million American lose their jobs
There are now more than 1.6 million infections in the US and over 95,000 deaths
The JP Morgan report says that restarting the US economy may not lead to a second surge in infections that health experts have feared
Report says infection rates have been falling seen since lockdown measures were lifted in parts of the country
Alabama, Wisconsin and Colorado are among those that saw lower infection rates (R rates) after lockdown measures were lifted, according to the report
The R rate is the average number of people who will become infected by one person with the virus
Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19
Coronavirus lockdowns have ‘destroyed millions of livelihoods’ but failed to alter the course of the pandemic given many US states have seen lower infection rates after easing restrictions, a JP Morgan study has claimed.
The statistical analysis has raised questions about the effectiveness of the lockdowns put in place across much of the United States two months ago to stop the spread of COVID-19.
I agree - stop paying people NOT to work. No more stimulus. Get people back to work now.
