How long before we take over the #1 spot in confirmed cases?
Has anyone heard why Dr. Fauci is now less visible? For the love of God, I hope he is not sick.
My grandparents used to tell me the story of the old man that lived by the levee. They grew up in St Bernard, so I guess everything dealt with hurricanes.
This story has been retold with different versions, but the point is the same.
An old man lived by the levee when a weather report came on WDSU advising that everyone in the Parish needed to evacuate. His family called him and told him that he could stay with them, his response "I put my trust in God, I do all things in his name and he will protect me"
A day later, the local police came to his home and advised that it was a mandatory evacuation and that he needed to leave. His response "I put my trust in God, I do all things in his name and he will protect me"
The day the hurricane hits he is now on his roof riding out the storm and the water is to his roofline when a coast guard boat comes by and they tell him to get in. His response "I put my trust in God, I do all things in his name and he will protect me"
The man dies.
He gets to heaven and the first thing he does is demand audience before God, asking why God let him die. God's response, "I sent you a weather report, a police officer and boat all intended to save you. What in the world are you doing here?"
Please don't be the old man by the levee.
I love that parable, Hancock. So damn true.
Lighthearted note: this board went 1000 comments on a thread in a row without a Shotgun comment. he was the first reply to this thread and that's it.
(Just ribbing ya Shotgun. Thought it was a funny anecdote to see a crazy talkative thread w/o you here.)
11,121 newly reported cases and 139 deaths in the US (officially)
You can pretty much count New Jersey's almost 3000 in with NY too. That's our Wuhan, Lombardia, Madrid currently.

People are dumb - and they prove it daily. They also take the word of our leaders as gospel, so every bit of info that comes out has to have the lowest common denominator in mind and has to be on point at times like this (and that is not Trump specific).
