You’re incapable of reading a graph I see.

Sad state we’re in educationally.

Do you think Trump is an idiot?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Then there is the flip side of DeBlasio - 1984 comes to Britain: web site to report your neighbors, drone footage with scold caption of a few people walking (not congregating) in scenic areas - https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/03/1984-comes-to-britain.php

Since you are dismissive of everything and everyone who posts here, why do you even stop by?

Don’t you have something real, and important to do?

Go hug your wife and kids. Then thank God you’re not crazy like us.

But most of all, just go.

Feet in the ground, back to the wheel, and nose to the grindstone...

Maybe he can hug his taxed children.

Since he railed about ‘so many untaxed children’ on another thread.

(who do we know, nationwise, that has taxed children...?)

We clearly need to fire our public health officials and hire the Japanese/SK/Singaporeans as consultants.

It pains me to say this, but the Japanese/SK/Singaporeans are culturally superior to us because of discipline, personal responsibility, observance of polite social norms and manners, and respect for others.

And, what happened to the 2wks?

2 wks and the US is Italy. 2 wks!

LMAO. Time to move the goal posts.

[Mariner]

I was a publ9ic supporter of Trump on this forum when you were still contributing to Ted Cruz.

I bet you still get emails from him.

[Black Agnes]

Clearly, graph reading is beyond your comprehension.

Sad state of affairs indeed.

“It’s not to protect yourself. It’s to protect people against the droplets coming out of your respiratory tract… I don’t want to frighten you, but when people speak and breathe and sing —you don’t have to sneeze or cough — these droplets are coming out,” - Of course, but many people don’t understand - https://nypost.com/2020/03/28/experts-say-face-masks-can-help-slow-covid-19-despite-previous-claims/

Latest news from Minnesota...

The Minnesota Department of Health is reporting 62 new CV-19 cases in Minnesota, bring the overall total to 503.

In addition, four more deaths were reported, bringing the overall total to 9. I could not find current demographic information regarding the deaths - although of the four deaths reported two days ago, all four were in their 80’s.

Currently 39 patients are hospitalized - although I could not find a mention of who was in ICU vs who wasn’t.

Between the Department of Health’s lab and private labs, a total of 17657 tests have been conducted.

That’s funny, I never supported cruz. And still don’t.

[Conserv]

MARY is a little sad.

[Black Agnes]

The respect for others, discipline, and personal responsibility USED to be considered our national assets as well.

Then came teachers unions and federalized education.

One thing Singapore did, very early on, was quarantine the contacts of those who tested positive. And apparently the quarantined contacts DID THAT. Here, you’ve got people saying ‘this is why we kept our guns’ and crap. Because they want to shoot the health officers or something?

crazy abounds.

ON the ground

[Fido969]

Number coming out very slowly today, I fear they are double checking a big jump. 50,000? Hope it’s not that.

[Mariner]

“but the Japanese/SK/Singaporeans are culturally superior to us because of discipline, personal responsibility, observance of polite social norms and manners, and respect for others”

Ludicrous.

The only measure of cultural superiority is “who won the last war”?

Your list reads like a Kindergarten list of “good citizen” rules.

[Black Agnes]

I’m hoping the shutdowns/slowdowns have really decreased the number.

*fingers crossed*
