    Interesting that the southern half of California is not showing much of anything? Also when you click on the "trend" it seems the majority of the country is decreasing. We shall see.

    The uptick in mental health issues not only here but all over the world is another big offshoot of what is happening.

    This Crap Sucks!

    He may have mistakenly looked at the Italy number

    Do you have any current data on the percentage of the hospitalizations that are one or two day stays just to observe and re-hydrate?

    Looks like I was wrong on my prediction about not hitting 1,000 cases. :ninja3: One really hopes the late spring air suppresses this thing. I think the market is going to tank again in April. Rough month coming up, folks. Stay safe.

    When can we turn our attention to solving the lightning strike problem?

    He still can't tell the truth and quit blaming others.

    PolitiFact - Trump blames past administrations for a flawed COVID-19 test. The test couldn’t have existed earlier

    Yes, we know you in the media are so happy this has turned into a catastrophe. You might want to get with your editor on how to spell "lightning", wise guy.

    I’m not in editorial. Thank you for the correction I’ll fix my mistake.

    See how that works. When someone is wrong they can acknowledge it and correct their error.

    I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but keep in mind all these loans are to keep businesses alive until mid June. If things are still bleak, they will need another round of stimulus and then another and then another. When the dust settles, the world could be in a world of hurt when global debt hits an estimated 1 quadrillion dollars. To put it succinctly, the country of Belize might become the world's wealthiest nation after all this is done.

    Fauci on the stage. Says don’t be discouraged if it gets worse in the next week or two until it gets better. Says it’s about the next 30 days.

    Louisville good on you for coming forward on your post above but why continue to poke the angry bear when you brought this on yourself? How on this world did you come up with a prediction of less than 1,000 cases?

    I spoke with my bank today and picked up a big packet of paperwork to look through. Feel free to PM me and I'll see if I can answer any questions.
