Continuation of the thread.
Please use this thread to consolidate the discussion and stories.
He’s getting blasted over that and cancelling Fulton Co schools today. Liberals, no doubt. Fuss when you don’t do something, fuss when you do.
They are using the health department numbers.
Also, if you look at the right side of the chart, it tells you the exact time and day of the last update of the chart.
Italy reports 977 new cases of coronavirus and 168 new deaths, raising total to 10,149 cases and 631 dead
Everyone can spread this disease, even people we don’t like.
That is the change in mindset that needs to happen, and needs to happen _stat_.
NY - more on quarantine
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday announced plans to enforce a “containment area” for a 1-mile radius around the center of the cluster, an area that includes much of the city of New Rochelle and stretches into town of Eastchester, both of which are in Westchester County.
Any large gathering places within that containment area will be required to shut down from Thursday through March 25, Cuomo said. That includes several of New Rochelle’s public schools. Those that fall within the containment zone will remain shut down for two weeks.
Commenr: isn’t it kind of bad to announce ahead of time you’re doing it? These guys would not make very good military leaders.
“And even with a face mask, a good 3 feet from the microphone!”
I was being silly, of course, but yes, you have a good point. No doubt there were voice checks by others prior to the (staged) event.

Coronavirus update: N.J. confirms 1st death, total cases in state rises to 15
Updated 12:58 PM; Today 12:44 PM

State health officials on Tuesday announced the first coronavirus death in New Jersey as a 69-year-old man from Bergen County, while the total number of positive cases in the state increased to 15.
“We are sad to report the first death in a case of COVID-19 in New Jersey,” New Jersey officials said in a statement. “Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. We remain vigilant to doing all we can — across all levels of government — to protect the people of New Jersey.”
The 69-year-old man, who had pre-existing health conditions, died Tuesday morning, state health officials said. He is among the four new presumptive positive coronavirus cases revealed Tuesday from the state’s lab.
“Italy reports 977 new cases of coronavirus and 168 new deaths, raising total to 10,149 cases and 631 dead”
I hope they’re ready for a Wuhan-style lockdown, as that is their only hope, with those numbers.
ITALY
Rather than prolonging an agony that lasts for months, I think it is better to reach a total closure, so as to permanently block the contagion. It is a line of thought that is turning and I think it will be discussed today, because it is essential to isolate the virus, and ****the more we slow down the rate of infection and the more breath we give to our healthcare facilities**** “said the president of Veneto, Luca Zaia today during the press conference at the Civil Protection in Marghera . Only food and pharmacies would remain open.

That is a function of the failure to communicate properly.
The Governor is between a rock and a hard place.
If he tells the people of Georgia the truth, the whole, and nothing but the truth (like we tell each other here :-) ), they _will_ panic.
If he does not do it, then they think he is over-reacting.
“Now the authors have retracted it, with no explanation.”
Obviously if you read the report, or its summary, you know that it’s legit, even coming from China. There’s simply information there that China doesn’t want the rest of the world to know.
Kind of a “if we go down, we take you all with us” mindset of the CCP.
So the $3,000.00 lab test only 'presumes a positive'? Then why use the test if I can just presume a negative ?
ITALY
Coronavirus: 8,514 patients, over 10 thousand infected. Trevi Fountain off limits
Stop gatherings and championship. Schools closed, bars open until 6pm
There are 8,514 coronavirus patients in Italy, 529 more than yesterday, while the total number of infected people - including the victims and the recovered - exceeded ten thousand: 10,149. The data was provided by the emergency commissioner Angelo Borrelli at a press conference to the Civil Protection. The victims are a total of 631: compared to yesterday there are 168 more.
1,004 people were healed in Italy after contracting the coronavirus, 280 more than yesterday.
” It was clear this was the plan from the beginning. “
It is glaringly obvious a decision was made very early on to allow this disease to take its course.
The cost to the economy judged higher if they decided to effectively fight. So, why not have the best of both worlds?
Be somber and pretend to fight it.
All that means is that all these have to be rubber stamped by the CDC. They ARE positive.
Elections world wide including ours.
TN
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) — The Tennessee Department of Health announced two new cases of COVID-19 in Middle Tennessee.
That brings the total number in the state to 6
I was reminded of a facility where the workers refused to wear hard hats.
Word came down from on high that only supervisors and managers were allowed to have hardhats.
Within days, the front line workers were demanding hardhats and were wearing them.
Mission accomplished.
Goodness, what did you think I meant?
One little personal story for today.
I am trying to think ahead of what I will need down the road, and then I realized that my lawn mower needed its seasonal maintenance.
Normally I wouldn’t have it done until the first week of May—the grass here in northern CT does not start growing much before then.
But—I saw all those pictures of the empty Seattle ports and realized that there could be shortages of minor parts, so I decided to visit my lawn mower repair guy today.
He gave me a funny look (like why you be here in March) and then thought for a minute and said: “OK, but it be a couple of weeks.”
The thing is, this guy normally does next day service—and I didn’t see any other lawnmowers in his shop waiting for repair—so I think that meant he wasn’t all that confident about getting the parts...
We will see—would _really_ like to avoid living in a jungle this summer. ;-)
