How long before we take over the #1 spot in confirmed cases?

[Dolphus Raymond]

Has anyone heard why Dr. Fauci is now less visible? For the love of God, I hope he is not sick.

Probably March 27th

I trust God.

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.

I'm not. He said "trust science, above all else."

I don't trust science above all else. Doesn't mean I don't trust it at all.

Ok, we get it. No need to be so semantic.

Not semantic at all. Sorry it bothers you.

The dude wrote a short story because I said I trusted in God. I was just explaining that he was mistaken in thinking that I disregard science or something.

Stop it, lol. I'm not bothered, in the slightest, but you also replied similarly to another poster who said "listen to medical experts". No one is telling you to abandon your faith, lol.

You obviously are. Didn't think anyone was.

11,121 newly reported cases and 139 deaths in the US (officially)

11,121 newly reported cases and 139 deaths in the US (officially)

Every credible report I've read and every physician I have spoken with thinks the next 10 days will be pretty brutal. They hope people keep staying home, because they are hoping it crests in 10 days.

[msstate7]

11,121 newly reported cases and 139 deaths in the US (officially)

46,168 total cases. NY has 23,230. No other state has even 3000. Only 3 other states have over 2000.

You can pretty much count New Jersey's almost 3000 in with NY too. That's our Wuhan, Lombardia, Madrid currently.

Have the cases been mapped down to sections of NYC? Gotta figure little CHINA/little ITALY spot is a hotbed

Have the cases been mapped down to sections of NYC? Gotta figure little CHINA/little ITALY spot is a hotbed

I haven't seen a map, but I saw this:

- Brooklyn: 3,742 cases
- Queens: 3,848 cases
- Manhattan: 2,646 cases
- The Bronx: 1,999 cases
- Staten Island: 877 cases

Seems to be pretty evenly distributed based on population

I know you can't fix stupid -

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).
