    To that extent, we bought a little 12X9 foot inflatable family pool from Target for the backyard. Just to hang out in when it starts to be awful. Thankfully, our backyard has a lot of shade from the pecan trees that border our backyard. Also got a 6 foot tall water fountain from Sam's Club that the kids can run through. Since public and private pools won't be open and I'm not sure how comfortable we'll be with sending them over to friends who have pools, might be worth it to have a mini spray park in our backyard. 

    Thought pools were okayed to open?  I know they are prepping open the ones in my neighborhood in the next week or so.

    Also looked a the case breakdown and death breakdown by age. 24.4% (3,004) of the cases are from people 60 and up.  That group represents 80% (354) of the deaths. Bump it to 50 and up and you have 43% of the cases and 90% of the deaths.

    50% of the deaths are 75+ and only represent 7.4% of the cases.  If you are over 75 and you catch this according to the Texas data you've got a 24% chance of dying. fuck

    Also, AA represent 15.3% of the cases and 13.5% of the deaths.  Hispanics are 38% of the cases and 22% of the deaths.  White people are 28% of the cases and 37% of the deaths.  They do have 14% of cases unknown by ethnicity and 25.7% of deaths unknown by ethnicity so those numbers could move around.  They do not have a category for the fats.

    This is America.  We're all the fats.

    Setting small fires to prevent a big one from spreading is also a successful wildfire reduction strategy. I'm not sure why you keep using that example. In fact putting out small fires actually led to catastrophic wildfires out west, so your analogy is terrible and you should feel bad.

    Haven't you read his posts?  He feels bad ALL THE TIME.

    I’m just responding to this post because it was the most recent. I know you’re kind of a respected poster around these parts, I respect tour posts. But Jesus Christ man, can you put a tampon in your bleeding pussy please? If it’s not your disenfranchised eastern block adopted family, your wife’s zombie airport run, your cancerous church buddy, tour daughter’s entrapment in Canada, your sons emo struggles with baseball and friends, et al., it your propensity to wrap tour brisket. I move to change your handle to “tritip communist munchausen By proxy via the internet boi”. Yes I am Drank as fuck, may have made some of those accusations up from memory and will regret this post, but fuckin hell, get ahold of yourself. Go watch that Aussie chopper harden the fuck up vid a few times.

    The Daily for a few months now (and Freakonomics from Wednesday) both are pointing out that China is doing a huge propaganda push across the world, but particularly in their own boarders, due to this. They are really trying to downplay their role in this from multiple levels of them fucking up, and it really needs to not be ignored how bad they handled this in the future. Just like the SARS pandemic led to a loss in faith in their government, this damn well better do a similar thing. While the US and others really dropped the ball on how this was handled and need to consider multiple things in the future, this is surely going to have huge geopolitical ramifications for China in the world... it's just a question of how successful China is at pushing their propaganda and using their own economic tools in SE Asia and Africa. 

    Wife is friends with a family from China from our kids' school.  The parents are actually stuck over there but the wife (or someone pretending to be her) is still able to communicate via facebook messenger.  Says that all they hear is that the US made and spreed the virus and there are hundreds of thousands of bodies in trees here.

    I’ve been kicked in the balls personally in my two businesses to the tune of 110k. I was pretty bummed about it when they ran out of funding last time but am coming to grips now. 

    Figuring my app got sat on while others were put in the front of the line should send me into a rage, but right now it’s just bumming me out. 

    My firm is working with several of the big banks.  Pulling hundreds of staff from partners all the way down to just process loans working shifts 24x7.  We processed 10,000 SBA loans yesterday and its like we didn't even make a dent in the queue.  I imagine that all the other Big 4 are doing similar things.  Hang in there.

    According to the post from Dahobbs, the idea that Sweden “roamed free” is incorrect. The government may not have shut things down like they did here, but he is post suggested that they practiced social distancing and didn’t gather in large crowds. The post that began that discussion was just a hit piece about how much the US sucks...as per usual.

    Comparing a  population of 10m on equal footing as 130m continues to be inane.
