I know! Butler Shores with the skyline and river views would have been incredible. But with the Domain area really starting to become a true "Uptown" I think they ended up in a pretty good location. I think having all the breweries right next door is a big plus as well. And when they build the new stadium rail station it'll be a cool thing for a lot of fans riding the train to the stadium on game days.

This may be why the official numbers have remained so consistent.

It looks like this project may be the one to give Austin a 1,000 footer. The one on the east block has to be close.

I think the gist is that many are downplaying its significance because the death rate isnt absurdly high. But it appears more contagious, and much more serious than the flu. And the huge numbers of hospitalizations, even if they recover are going to overwhelm our health care system.

I wont post a link because its from a "fake news" site which is a guilty pleasure of mine, but this guy "sounds" like he knows what he's talking about. If correct, the world is going to change, and much quicker than anyone could ever expect. The next few days should be telling.

So the British who wanted to leave the European Union were deceived by Vlad Putin's minions and/or are morons? They had no valid reasons to want to leave?

I imagine it's viewed somewhat like Texas is in the US when seceding has been brought up. If you've never noticed, there's quite a bit of hate and vitriol expressed towards Texas during those discussions. And the UK actually did it! Haters gonna hate. Fuck em.

Yeah, those numbers are bad. But imagine 19 million Coronavirus illnesses, with about 10 million hospitalizations, and 190,000 deaths in addition to the flu virus numbers. Pretty fucking horrific death toll, and the effects on the economy and lives will be devastating.

Google says 3 million in the US annually. Scary thought, if there ended up being that many cases of Coronavirus in the US over the next year, and "only" 1% die that's 30,000 deaths in the US alone. I'm not trying to be a fear monger, but isn't it thought this is more contagious than the flu? If so isn't 3 million US cases over the next year a real possibility? Isn't 1% on the low end of this things lethality? I'm sure I'm looking at this wrong.

Why are borders being closed, air traffic shut down, people being boarded up in their homes? Serious question, not being a smart ass? If it really ain't that big of a deal, and the flu is worse (apparently), why such drastic measures?

I'm sorry, maybe a week from now I look back and think, "What a dumbass!" but I'm calling it now. This is way worse than is being let on. Waaay too much weird, unprecedented shit going on for this just to be SARS 2.0 or whatever. I pray I'm wrong but I believe this is going to get really, really ugly.

If you watch the entire video you'll see that's exactly what they're doing. They're boarding up doors with people inside. Fucking nuts.
