Deaths in US sort of flattening this week rather than continuing to go down. Could be bad omen.

Making the Glades Great Again

And they had to do a study to come to these conclusions. SMH AP is on top of things https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/bars-perfect-for-spreading-coronavirus

"The Villages" , and places like that had better lock their communities down. Of course they should have done that a month ago. Or dig a mote. Would be easier there as opposed to the country as a whole, they already have the gators.

57k positive tests today We had better hope the virus has lost its punch

Are bars in Asheville the same as in NYC? You know, where the music is loud and people stand 1 foot apart and yell at each other and laugh really loud to gain attention of some girl?

Been saying that for awhile. Definitely one you don't want rising. Going down through flat an increased case counts

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/health-law-and-business/young-americans-are-partying-hard-and-spreading-the-virus-fast How do you guys explain why the age level and what is in hospitals have gone down? Please don't answer "wear a mask". Are we to believe that only old folks were getting the virus in the early stages? How were they so more "out there" than younger folks? I understand the current, but not the previous.

How much money and business will people with immunity get over those who have not contracted the disease? Weird question? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53082917

Masks are brought up as a push button response to everything.

"and they all lived happily ever after"

Yep, I know, that's no news at all. Flat for a long time and deaths going down. I have been looking for a long time for them to shoot up again. The correlation between the two is ever changing

51k positive tests today for the US On the positive side, for now, deaths are still trending in downward direction. Graphs luckily headed in two different directions.

As we said 300 pages ago, it is a tightrope that has to be walked between health and economy. Concentrating on just one, would devastate the other

Something about the islands

Instead of a wall, Trump should have went for a mote. A big beautiful, tremendous, probably the most tremendous, mote.

In other news, Gilligans Island has experienced no coronovirus deaths due to the incredible leadership of Gilligan

Back to the face masks? Again? I wear a damn face mask, what in the world are you doing by bringing that up every other post? I have said it over and over. I have not criticized anyone for wearing one. I am just trying to have a non political discussion about the numbers. We have had a couple different guys who work in the medical field give us 2-3 weeks between positive cases and deaths and now another says 4-5 weeks. All the numbers and graphs are changing. Nothing looks like it did in February. The vulnerable expanded when it got to the US because of obesity. The China numbers did not include a lot of obese people for obvious reasons. And non political because I don't see a Trump nor a Biden being able to find their way home without a trail of bread crumbs. I do not put my faith in those guys

Correct, it's a discussion. All the guys saying it is exactly this and exactly that are not to be taken seriously. You are correct to say maybe

Trump does not drive my opinion of the virus. He drives about 95% of the posts in this VIRUS thread. D and R, its an election year and you are not immune to the emotions. Did not vote for Trump before, don't plan on it this fall. He does not make a rats azz to me as far as the virus. You guys expect the same dynamics we experienced in March to hold true forever. It won't, and it is not. Now, for your sake, if the deaths stopped tomorrow, Trump would not get credit. Hoping you can sleep better now. So can you talk outside of your political obsessions? What if FL does NOT experience the deaths at the rates NYC did? What if they develop the herd immunity quicker than other states? A big risk seeing how many retired folks live there. But if all the bar hopping under 40 crowd gets it and it is truly vanilla, then will FL be better off? I know it is hard to think outside the box, but give it a try, and remember, Trump won't get the credit.

Numbers matter only on rainy Tuesdays in March. Emotions get the rest of the publicity

But with the mask, I am also wearing a cup, so it just won't work for me

I also wonder if they are really distinguishing between COVID and other hospitalizations. Many people were waiting a long time for things to relax so they could have surgery for example. So many things were put on hold. Many hospitals in my area were mostly empty
