Thanks for your hard work.
So I can move twice?

update:
The church is in Bartow, where there are 19 confirmed COVID-19 cases
So I take it Barr didn’t tell his audience to “wash their hands” and “take care of the elderly”?
;-)
Burr, not Barr...my bad.
“New York City 2,469”
There’s at least 10X that roaming the streets.
Failure to issue a Shelter in Place order will turn NYC into another Wuhan. Hell, it’s probably happening right now but they haven’t picked up on it.
Criminal negligence.

Soon after he offered public assurances that the government was ready to battle the coronavirus, the powerful chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr, sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $582,029 and $1.56 million of his holdings on Feb. 13 in 29 separate transactions.
This is the .gov we expect these days. :-(
Sadly, yes.
Remember. Ignore the obvious trolls on this thread. They are currently in the anger phase. Give them a couple weeks to come back with their tail between their legs.
For now bypass their posts and resist the temptation to offer a rebuttal. This will ensure the thread is as clean as possible. Thank you.
Every Burr dime of profit should be clawed back for insider information..with treble damages...and a little jail time with some serious hardened criminals as well.

I live just east of you in Twain Harte. Hello neighbor.
On second thought, Burr should be required to do community service—at a North Carolina hospital.
Seriously stupid. 29 transactions in one day. Lol. It’s like he kept coming back for another bite.
(Pennsylvania) Gov. Wolf orders all non-life-sustaining businesses to close to slow spread of coronavirus
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Governor Tom Wolf has ordered all non-life-sustaining businesses in Pennsylvania to close their physical locations by 8 p.m., Thursday, to slow the spread of the coronavirus, COVID-19.

This was announced at 6PM so a 3 hours’ notice to those business that need to close.
Hi sissy
you’re in a good place
More than half of Californians will be infected by coronavirus in 2 months, Newsom projects
Read more here: https://www.sacbee.com/news/coronavirus/article241349341.html#storylink=cpy
That’s over 20 million people in CA alone.
“The Imperial College team plugged infection and death rates from China/Korea/Italy into epidemic modeling software and ran a simulation: what happens if the US does absolutely nothing — if we treat COVID-19 like the flu, go about our business, and let the virus take its course?
Here’s what would happen: 80% of Americans would get the disease. 0.9% of them would die. Between 4 and 8 percent of all Americans over the age of 70 would die. 2.2 million Americans would die from the virus itself.
It gets worse. People with severe COVID-19 need to be put on ventilators. 50% of those on ventilators still die, but the other 50% live. But in an unmitigated epidemic, the need for ventilators would be 30 times the number available in the US. Nearly 100% of these patients die.
So the actual death toll from the virus would be closer to 4 million Americans — in a span of 3 months. 8-15% of all Americans over 70 would die.
Now, of course countries won’t stand by and do nothing. So the Imperial College team ran the numbers again, this time assuming a “mitigation” strategy: all symptomatic cases in the US in isolation. Families of those cases quarantined. All Americans over 70 social distancing.
This mitigation strategy is what you’ve seen a lot of people talking about when they say we should “flatten the curve”: try to slow the spread of the disease to the people most likely to die from it, to avoid overwhelming hospitals.
And it does flatten the curve — but not nearly enough. The death rate from the disease is cut in half, but it still kills 1.1 million Americans all by itself. The peak need for ventilators falls by two-thirds, but it still exceeds the number of ventilators in the US by 8 times.
That leaves the actual death toll in the US at right around 2 million deaths. The population of Houston. Two Civil Wars. One-third of the Holocaust. Globally, 45 million people die: 7.5 Holocausts, 3/4 of World War II. That’s what happens if we rely on mitigation & common sense.
Finally, the Imperial College team ran the numbers again, assuming a “suppression” strategy: isolate symptomatic cases, quarantine their family members, social distancing for the whole population, all public gatherings/most workplaces shut down, schools and universities close.
Suppression works! The death rate in the US peaks 3 weeks from now at a few thousand deaths, then goes down. We hit but don’t exceed the number of available ventilators. The nightmarish death tolls from the rest of the study disappear.
But here’s the catch: if we EVER relax suppression before a vaccine is administered to the entire population, COVID-19 comes right back and kills millions of Americans in a few months, the same as before.”

Newsom is wrong—on the high side.
CA population is 39.5M
60% will be infected when the virus infects all those who can be infected = 23.7M
Phase I is 5% per English model—based on restrictions that are now in place = 1.2M by the end of April.
