Those numbers are bad anyway you look at it; Hospital numbers jumped too. We are seeing our worst numbers so far in most stats yet we are opening up. It is going to be really ugly in about two weeks.Quote:

If masks make us safe, why not open completely? If the answer is masks don't make us safe, why wear them?
Do you have the tests per day/week data? It would be interesting if cases are rising with more testing, less testing, or the same amountQuote:

Wearing a mask shows that you are concerned for the health and well being of others, but it does not protect you from others who are not wearing a mask (hasn't been proven yet).
Anyone gonna get the antibody test? I saw fast paces are offering it. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I have had it... I was in NYC in December and nola (mardi gras) in feb.
Businesses here in philly are requiring it. You aren't getting in Walmart or Lowe's without itQuote:

Guess he got the point after that because he shut up. Dude deserved to be punched in the face and sent to the back of the line again.
Spot. On.Quote:

The last three days was 142, 142, and 144. Today it is 162. That's plus 18. Will it continue to go up or back down. I don't know. But +18 in 24 hours is a sharp increase...otherwise known as a spike.Quote:

So, while 162 would be a spike from the previous 3 days it isn't a spike over the last month. It's been a yo-yo all along. But continue to put everything in a negative light for your readers.Quote:

Correct. On all counts.Quote:

The hospital numbers aren't moving up yet, at least not substantially. A net 4 increase in hospitalizations from the day before is I think .6 percent. Not as good as a decrease but probably in the noise.Quote:

Yep, this.Quote:

We should be mass producing tests. Protest that, not just that you miss being whipped by daddy capitalism. The only reason they are pushing to stop having to pay unemployment and such. Follow the money. It's funny, we're a month in and how many people are really going starving because of this? Almost like we do have the capability to not force workers into multiple shitty jobs just to survive. Really makes you think (or in a lot on this thread's case, put your head in the sand.)Quote:

In the beginning we could have prevented a lot of deaths by being out front of this, but our glorious leader lead us down this path instead, praise be.Quote:

We've lost more people to corona than Korea. We've lost more people to corona than Nam. WW1, WW2, and Civil War are the only wars with a higher death count. And we're knocking on the door of WW1.
I want you to go tell everyone of the 70,000+ people's family that the virus isn't that bad, just a cough. Or alternatively, go tell an Iraqi/Afghan War veteran that the war wasn't that bad its only 1/10 as deadly as a mild cough, they should get over acting like they are some hero. They died to something that was 10% of a mild cough. Weaklings.
That's how ignorant you sound. If my post makes you mad, it should. It should make you mad you sound that stupid.
You have an issue expecting others to provide your safety to keep you safe? What do you expect from many who have to provide to you to keep you safe and others? Their lives expendable? See the problem is we have a major health crisis but we have a large amount of the population who will be ok if they become sick. We also have an economy that must continue to keep this country strong. So again who should die for you and who shouldn?t?Quote:

Yeah. Shelter in place then meant get down in your trench.Quote:

Also it's amazing how far reaching you idiots are. Garbage trucks? where the **** did I say stop anything more? Seriously, you people are why Mississippi has the reputation it does. You're showing we have earned the reputation of being people who can't read. Plenty of you keep making that self evident.
So we're gonna play a game:
Dawgcap - I said nothing about shutting more essential workers down. You're completely off topic. Your post is bad. F-
Confucius - Good job. Yes I did compare those. But calling people soft because they don't want millions to die is kinda my point of how stupid some of you sound. "Back in my day we didn't give a damn if a kid died, we still kept shooting that arrow into the sky and beating up the ***** who ducked out first." D-
Todd-" Boomers were tougher" No Todd, they were stupider. F-
Or garbage pick up and disposal, sewer, water electricity. No need to mention fuel cause he stays home. Don?t get me started on farmers, loggers and every other bad ass that goes to work everyday and struggles to make ends meet.Quote:

I love this country, I love the opportunities and no one deserves what is going on right now but I can honestly say I?ll never judge or look down at anyone being essential. We all are essential but Dan can only justify who should die based on his basic needs
Very well said, sir!Quote:
