No. Unfortunately, Austin area and imported CA libs have bought vacation homes around us and so the invasion.

“Here’s the racial background of the 977 people who’ve contracted COVID-19 in Austin and Travis County as of April 14.

76% of the patients are white
10% are black
4% are Asian
5% are other
4% are unknown

These numbers are not representative of those who have died for the coronavirus. Mayor Adler said 17 people have died. Of those 17, one of them was black and one-thirds are Hispanic.

“Those numbers track generally speaking population, but I’m concerned we’re not going to be able to maintain that if we’re like all the other cities in the country,” Adler said.”

The racial breakdown of Travis Co. is “48.7% White Alone, 33.9% Hispanic or Latino, and 7.92% Black or African American Alone.”

So, Whites have a third more cases than their population percent. Blacks are right at their percent yet there’s still hand wringing headlines.

I wish I did. Unfortunately I was too young to appreciate its future value. And yes, grandkids are a vacuum for such. I have a small collection of dinosaur fossils, and a young grandson who can’t wait for this to be over so I can present him with a single dinosaur tooth.

You must keep a tight friends list. Lol. No one reported you. Not even one timeout ? A new article is out claiming Facebook will send users to the Who if they respond to any covid19 posts. Lol.

CuCuomo saying NY will need an ‘army’ to perform CV19 contact tracing surveillance, on NYers.

Clinical report elsewhere on this thread or the previous one says patients coming off ventilators have symptoms typical of a stroke victim. So that could be from the disease itself, not from the trauma of intubation, which is what occurred to me at first.

*** Just checked all the stores within 40 miles and they’re all out of evaporated milk. Uh, helloooooo. That story from yesterday about dairy farmers having to dump milk because there’s a shortage of gallon milk containers. Wake up. There’s a need for canned evaporated milk. ***

Could you use sweetened condensed? Here is a recipe using powdered milk:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3831535/posts?page=34#34

In case you ran out, here’s a delicious recipe for Homemade Sweetened Condensed Milk.
Use in daily coffee; a key ingredient in richly refreshing Thai iced tea and coffee drinks.
Or use in baking or candy-making-——a sweet will keep up our spirits up during isolation.

METHOD Blender smooth (scraping down sides) cup instant nonfat dry milk powder,
2/3 cup sugar, 1/3 cup boiling water, 1/4 cup melted butter

CHEF NOTES

<><> Condensed milk typically has a thick, syrupy consistency;
if too thick to pour easily, add 1-2 spoonfuls of boiling water.
Reblend to incorporate. Adjust the water to fave consistency.

<><> Use right away, or fridge airtight 5 days.
Thickens w/ refrigeration; stir to room temp to thin.

<><>If dairy-free, substitute coconut milk for the dry milk.

<><> Has the same health benefits as milk; cans keep for years if unopened.

<><> Now enjoy the many sweet treats made with this easy-to-make pantry staple.

Liberals have been doing this all over the country, trying to make it look like blacks are dying at a higher rate, but the death rates are following the racial demographics of the areas. For example, we have some very hard hit areas in Georgia, but the deaths follow almost exactly the demographics. The biggest difference county to county here has been the rate of obesity and chronic health problems. The areas hardest hit in south GA also happen to be the areas with the highest incidence of obesity.

Why is the CDC not talking about this? Urge people to go on Keto - we know it lowers A1C. Oh, nevermind, the dropped the “prevention” part of their job description.

I’m convinced it’s the nicotine.

Cool. Powdered milk. Maybe sub low carb sweetener for the sugar.

Thanks.
