    Maryland is finally opening up golf courses and dental offices. And they finally closed schools for the rest of the school year.

    Kowasaki syndrome. That’s apparently a very rare disease. I’ve never heard of it and I have two young children. Only 20,000 kids a year in the US get it. Guess that’s why.

    1700 new cases and 120 deaths in the last 2 days in MD. 239 deaths per million pop.

    This post makes no sense. Saying the US will have 100,000 deaths by the end of the month is a prediction. It's a safe prediction, but a prediction none the less.

    Huh?

    pre·dic·tion
    /prəˈdikSH(ə)n/

    noun
    1. a thing predicted; a forecast.
      "a prediction that the Greeks would destroy the Persian empire"
    • the action of predicting something."the prediction of future behavior"


    Whether they said 100,000 or 1,000,000 by June 1, it would still be “prediction” by definition. Whether it’s a reasonable prediction is another matter. 100,000 is simply stating the obvious.

    Odd that a Trumpista would take issue because CNN’s dire numbers are actually unrealistically optimistic. If they hosted someone who predicted 200,000 you would probably accuse them of promoting hysteria and trying to undermine the President. Can’t win.

    And his nonsensical post makes a lame attempt insult liberals for their math skills. Maybe he should be more concerned with his own writing skills.

    Yes. So do you think Maryland should be doing something different?

    Dentists fall under elective procedures. Maryland is following the 14 day guidance and if the trend continues the stay at home order would be lifted next week and they can start phase 1 opening

    must be, well, we do not know how they died, so covid19 it is. literally at about 7:45 they had about 250 reported deaths, 15 minutes later 750, so where did they come from, right at the end of the reporting day.

    NY added a few more nursing home deaths to their total. It was a one time thing.

    FYI. Every single day Colorado "dumps" its number at the end of the day (WA too). Soros has a place in the NORAD mt & we do what he sez.
