I don't think it's appropriate to quote anything to the interested parties in case they decide to delete later, but in a thread about thousands dead due to a weird pandemic I would not think it possible to dial up the crazy any higher. And yet, like so many have said, here we are....

So my 21 yo niece (NO PICS) is positive for COVID 19.  She lives at home with my brother’s whole family in SLC so they are all on quarantine.  She just posted a bunch of photos two days ago about her “amazing” trip to Seattle a couple of weeks ago.  SMH

I hate your niece and brother

Look at Ohio moving down each day on the total cases list.  Look at the surrounding states of Indiana, Michigan and PA.  All with less population than Ohio except PA which is now multiples higher.  The Gov here kicked ass early having the balls to shut things down.  DeWine is going to come out of this looking like a hero. 

Ohio’s freaking killing it despite me making fun of them, because Ohio. I forgot who put me in my place that Ohio’s very medically advanced.

 

I’d love our countries chances if it wasn’t for Louisiana and Michigan

By all accounts, he's done a fantastic job in taking the bull by the horns and implementing the advice of his healthcare experts. Just hope the shit surrounding your state doesn't spill over. I've got elderly relatives living in Dayton and would prefer not to see them die. Keep it up, Ohio.

And Florida, and Mississippi, and Georgia, and on, and on, and on ...

Yes you did fuck face. That’s the truth. I reached out to you because I was in a bad marriage and drowning in my addiction.  I was on my way to rehab when you spilled everything on SSS. You’re the type of person who puts his foot on the top of the head of someone drowning instead of offering a hand to help. You’re the worst person I know.

Wait?   Wtf?  FatBastard is your brother and did that?

I’ll breakdown Chicago later but you’re right.  A lot of us will be fucked by the laggards.  
 

Force them into quarantine later?  Serious question.  As in they can’t leave their states.  And we can’t visit.

PAs numbers are much different on the eastern side of the state where they’re getting a lot of bleed over from NY & NJ than they are on the western side of the state. 

Im very happy that Ohio has been taking the lead in shutting shit down and that MD & PA have fallen quickly on his heels with the school closures and sip’s.

Honestly, there's Michigan, and then there is everyone else. They're checking in at 44% positive on testing and that means they've got a pretty big fucking problem. Indiana and Illinois are around the national average, and Ohio, Pennsylvania, WV and Kentucky are all solidly below the national average. 

Not knocking Ohio, as we've already discussed that they have done really well, including the leadership. Just pointing out that Michigan being lumped into any group right now makes the whole group start to look pretty ... grim.

Check the link to the CDC website that I provided for that flu season. I did not type those words; they're a direct copy/paste from the CDC website.

Here, I'll paste it again with the link.

The overall burden of influenza for the 2017-2018 season was an estimated 45 million influenza illnesses, 21 million influenza-associated medical visits, 810,000 influenza-related hospitalizations, and 61,000 influenza-associated deaths. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2017-2018.htm

 

yep.  estimated from 47K to 94K.  maybe CNN wanted to hype up the story a little and chose 80K.  Saw 80K in a Washington Post article as well.  they both reference "per CDC" them those numbers in their articles.  looks like CDC revised them down later.

7pm worldometer recap

 

 

Umm...much lower NY death numbers? 505 yesterday down to 154. hydroxychloroquine treatments taking effect?

 

Not sure if the NY evening update has been applied or not, I just do this when it’s 0:00 GMT. Usually they do that in the 6PM cdt hr

 

 

NY was up 1200 cases , NJ had pretty much identical day #s wise

 

Louisiana the big loser up 1600

 

Texas and Cali continue to be the MVPs with their population size and low death numbers vs NY.

Don't count NY out, come fall they'll be in the race for the pennant. They always are. They'll spend a shit ton more than everyone else and buy some All Star talent to get them there.

I don't trust those NY death #s.  

NY posted new numbers, still lower than yesterday at 319. New Jersey, Florida, and Kentucky had big relative gains on the death toll side. Total death toll looks like 961, which is what, 88 less than yesterday? That's not going to do jimmyjazz or dahobbs one damned bit of good, that's for sure.

And now my 70 yo Dad is on quarantine after coming into contact with a positive COVID 19 case while performing his essential duties in county government.  

Still waiting on niece pics, then we will light a candle for Gramps.

150 fewer deaths than the Univ of Washington prediction for today in NY.

Can we talk about religion on this thread or will that threaten immamac's sensitivity?  I just have a few questions and I know that he's easily upset.

Newsflash dickhead, I never had access to SSS. I know this is hard for you to comprehend because fantasy and reality are both a blur in your meth rattled head. You see, ever since I got a job and a family I haven’t posted with any of the same volume or giveafuckness since Hornfans almost 20 years ago.

IDK but IMO its kind of pointless because the preacher already took care of everything upthread.

I don't know about "fat" but after seeing your random attacks on other posters in the past, I would definitely say bastard is a good description for you.

No way.  She’s of the type where it’s highly likely that one of you will recognize her and post a video link from one of your recreational sites.  And I just can’t deal with that right now.

Those bell peppers are real sleepers. I highly recommend (not as ‘Rona cure although).
