Got back from Omaha, NE last night. It was difficult not thinking about it but with normal precautions, it doesn't have to be an issue. I traveled to DC in January and when I got home after being there 5 days I had the flu.Your on the right track.

I'll go as far as saying its a Democratic/media attack on the economy hoping for it to crash to help impact the 2020 erection.

Vaccine is still a year away. The next couple of months are critical on which way this virus goes here in US. Warm weather usually beats these types of viruses down. If we can weather the storm the next couple of months and minimize large outbreaks in the country, we might be ok by summer. To put it in perspective, The Flu killed 650,000 people worldwide this past season. Covid 19 less than 5k at the moment. Elderly 70+ with severe underlying medical problems are most at risk. 85% of the people infected won’t even realize it or have mild symptoms. 15% will get sick. About 1% will die. Kids so far are not really affected by it. The problem is that the 85% who feel fine may unknowingly infect others.

Thanks Danny. Sounds like what I've heard coming out of the White House conference yesterday.
I was supposed to go to Philly this week but canceled the trip. Our office is going to close starting Wednesday and most people are working remote anyway. I run IT so I'm busy procuring more laptops and ensuring we have the right video conferencing solutions in place (in the middle of switching to Zoom).
I see a significant downturn in the economy but a bigger surge coming out of it by August.
With my heart issues, I'm in the High Risk group and have to be extra diligent. More Tequila!

I see a significant downturn in the economy but a bigger surge coming out of it by August.
I'm not so sure about a surge in 2020. My thought is people are not being able to save up during this downturn because they aren't needed at work (hourly folk in service and manufacturing) or can't work due to closures, so they will not go out to buy stuff like crazy after the social distancing is over since they don't have money to spend. In this situation, real productivity is taking a direct hit. I have proven repeatedly to not be able to predict the market, so it's likely I'm wrong (I sincerely hope so).
I am curious as to what makes you think there will be surge in the economy by August? Intuition, #thoughtsandprayers, experience, or ???
I think everyone is overreacting, including myself; We are giving up 'living' to extend some lives.

I'm currently testing Zoom in our office to replace Teams conferencing. We made the decision to go with Zoom yesterday and now I have to get it rolled out while everyone is remote.

a neighbor that works at the CDC indicated this may become the norm in a few weeks for Atlanta and other large cities. The exceptions being companies that have to produce a product to keep the company going or EMS, Pharmacies, Grocers etc.
My company has not shut down. We cannot run our plant from a home computer. The roads are looked desolate and deserted at times.
I am amazed that the millennials I work with are not taking this serious. They all went to Chillie's the other day for lunch and laugh about going to the grocery and coughing. I guess with news reports saying it doesn't affect them as much they are not concerned.
I have cut back all public trips out except work, fuel, and the grocery/pharmacy. Being in the immuno-compromised group I have to be more diligent.

heck no...I think it likely - and prudent - for this to be enabled in all metropolitan areas, Clark. There is no baiting as strong a conservative libertarian as myself ...I trust no politician has anything but the country's best interest - as his lobbyists direct him or her to have- at heart. I was just kinda insinuating that we are likely going to experience this very form of enforcement soon , oursrlves .
I don't even need freaking TP I'm so unfettered by all of this ; I have made my family watch this while they whittle arrows & make fish traps all week ( speaks to your comment, too @jd30005 ) :

my first trip to Europe in my 20s taught me the bidet is the superlative bunghole cleaner of Earth. I've never understood why they have never caught on in the US to the degree they have elsewhere.

I have worked from home for goin on my 7th year at , now, my 2nd consultation firm.
I used to think when I was in offices for 20+ years that I would watch Price Is Right , eat ice cream & be 25% as productive as I would be in an office, if I ever worked from home.
I quickly learned that I give the company far more of my personal time, work at least 2X as hard and am crazy more productive at home.
I have to do extreme-ish activities - like rock crawling or continuing to longboarding past 50 - so I do not go bonkers /to counterbalance the isolation fctor & not go postal , but dont think I could go back to an in the office work situation and be as productive or happy.

She has been able to 'find her work groove' but, she is the maternal element of our unit. We all know that has it's own unique set of demands on it and responsibilities. She easily feels like accomodating and nurturing me or kids when home and sorta sees goin to her office as her sociallife and work. So, she said ..I got no response from her about the "nooner" benefit package perk included (?!) - IOWs, we drive her nuts

The checkout lady at Lowe's didn't appear to have any concerns about getting or giving Chinavirus; She was touching everything, even when it wasn't necessary. She may have even licked the cash register and buttons on the credit card thing.
The Starbucks team (drive thru) was a little more concerned: they were wearing lunch lady gloves.

I ventured into public for the first time in nearly a week to get some supplies from Lowe's for the bidet.I've had to make a trip to multiple grocery stores each day this week to try and find some of the holy grail items like rice/pasta/eggs/meat/cheese and have only had success once yesterday when I found some eggs. Fortunately with my stock of flour I can now make pasta. I was hoping to make pizza but who wants that with no cheese? Other than the more frequent trips to the store, I've been going about life as usual since I already mastered the "social distancing" thing before it was cool.

In all these trips I've noticed that people are being a lot more cautious about what they touch and am seeing a lot more gloves on people as the days go by. I saw a bunch of kids, probably 20 or so, playing pickup games of basketball and soccer at the park by my condo. Clearly they don't grasp the severity of the situation.

We just got back from a 7 day trip too Paris France. Had the last flight to London and then London too USA. So at the customs in USA they don’t check temperatures or ask questions. We were sent home with a paper saying to call local health department, check our temperatures twice a day. When we call there’s info or agents to talk with.

At Kroger in Austell yesterday many shoppers were wearing masks or scarves and latex gloves including some store stockers, and pharmacy employees. I did notice the water aisle was empty. I was on a targeted mission for Creamer so I didn't really check the other aisles. I did see they were fully stocked on veggies and bread though. I suspect tomorrow will be another mad rush as people realize they really do not have a couple weeks worth of canned food.
Zack how was Paris during alll of this? Were they on any sort of lockdowns?

When I got to Japan, I found that closing of museums and tourist spots had started the previous day (Feb. 29). Lots of Japanese in public were wearing masks, and almost all hotel employees were as well. Restaurants and nightlife went on as normal the entire two weeks I was there. Other than hotel and restaurants, I mainly visited temples and public parks, where it was easy to remain at a distance from others. Doing so in restaurants wasn't possible, but I did remain careful on hand washing and face-touching.
My return flight via Houston was almost empty, 50 people in a 777. IAH was a ghost town. Even scored an upgrade on Delta for the Houston Atlanta leg as a lowly Silver.
No symptoms here, but we're excluding our daughters from visiting for another week, and other than grocery shopping I'm staying home. Went to give blood and was told India visit excludes donations for a full year.

I had the “regular” flu around Christmas time and it was the sickest I’ve been since being an “adult”.
Throat full of razor blades indeed.
I was at work until yesterday. Pretty much a skeleton crew and not hard to keep distance. Disinfection routine in order.
Taking a few vacation days to see how this crap ramps up. Plenty of food and tp. Gonna need a beer run at some point. [beer]
Enjoying the weather and time to work on my junk wagon.

(COVID-19)
Virus
severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)
Why do the virus and the disease have different names?
Viruses, and the diseases they cause, often have different names. For example, HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. People often know the name of a disease, such as measles, but not the name of the virus that causes it (rubeola).
There are different processes, and purposes, for naming viruses and diseases.
Viruses are named based on their genetic structure to facilitate the development of diagnostic tests, vaccines and medicines. Virologists and the wider scientific community do this work, so viruses are named by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).
Diseases are named to enable discussion on disease prevention, spread, transmissibility, severity and treatment. Human disease preparedness and response is WHO’s role, so diseases are officially named by WHO in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).
ICTV announced “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)” as the name of the new virus on 11 February 2020. This name was chosen because the virus is genetically related to the coronavirus responsible for the SARS outbreak of 2003. While related, the two viruses are different.
WHO announced “COVID-19” as the name of this new disease on 11 February 2020, following guidelines previously developed with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
WHO Director-General's remarks at the media on 11 February 2020
WHO Situation Report on 11 February 2020
WHO and ICTV were in communication about the naming of both the virus and the disease.

Just to be clear, we’re still not panicking, correct?The national debt is causing me to be slightly uncomfortable, but not panicking. $1T in tax breaks to the rich last year; $2T+ to pay people to not work; What's next...college loan forgiveness and single-payer health insurance???

Due to the seriousness and continued evolution of the COVID-19
virus, UAC leadership has made the difficult decision to temporarily
shut down operations in Georgia, Kansas and California for a duration
of 16 days. We will do this in an orderly fashion with all locations
being closed no later than 6pm local on Friday, March 27, 2020; with
plans to resume operations on Monday, April 13, 2020.
Even though UAC facilities in Georgia and California fall within
the “Essential Business” definition and can continue to operate,
the decision to temporarily shut-down operations is out of our
sincere respect for your and your family’s well being. This
temporary shut-down will be unpaid; however, if you have
paid time off you can choose to use it during this time,
or partial unemployment benefits may apply.

the truth. I guess the business part of him says it's
without pay though.
It makes it worse when we are deemed essential and
have no confirmed case's anywhere in our US facilities.
Lot of folks are upset about it because sadly a lot of
employees live closer to the paycheck to paycheck so
their not ready for something like this.

None. He said he wasn't feeling to good (thought it was allergies). He walked to the post office, which is about a half mile from our house and said he was having a hard time breathing and then later that evening he developed a fever and just went down hill from there. I don't how long he was actually feeling under the weather but by the time he got to the hospital pneumonia had already set in. He said they did find 2 lumps of something in his lungs, they think they're related to the virus. Supposedly, they put him into induced coma for a couple of days.Even worse.

good Lord.
these are the dumfounding , incidents which make no sense to me. There has not been , to my knowledge , anything similar to the " Russian roulette" like nature of who's being afflicted or not as is w/ this.
It seems so unnatural, comparatively.
This is scariest story I've yet heard , it & the child who's mom died that was a healthworker.
These stories & not grasping what the thing that determines if someone gets this sick or not is literally freaking me out.
I'm glad your neighbor pulled thru.

I went & picked up this turd this morning in pre preparation that we get closed down. VERY HIGHLY unlikely since they can smell $$$$$.
It might get done within a years time. Just in time for the next GART ride. Lol
The plan is to cut out the B piller, weld it in the Jeep & put the doors on for cold or rainy days.
I also plan to cut out ALL of the flat sheet metal on it in hope's to make it mostly water tight in the rear floor & rear cargo area.
I'll steel the cargo windows too.
If the scrap yard takes it once I'm do cutting it up I'd be surprised.

Kind of funny how its the first app we check in the morning to see if there are any delivery times available(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200328/97f433368f80937f2252c33ff955f5a0.jpg)Bro we aren’t even leaving the house unless absolutely necessary or to drive the Jeep up on grassy.

Lowes (Acworth) was not slammed, but it was busy.
The home depot (Acworth) was slammed, and people were waiting in line, so we went to the one in Kennesaw area. Another freaking line, so we decided to get in it. They were only allowing 100 shoppers in at a time. The dude at the entrance told us that he had people wanting to fight him, and asking what time he got off work so they could fight. Can you ducking believe that crap.
Then I had to get a tool for the task, so I ended up selecting HD due to price and availability. I ordered online, hoping they would put it in one of those self serve pick-up boxes (no joy). Then I realised they close at 6 pm now. @BlueJew had told me that the other day, but it didn't sink in until I realized I only had 25 minutes or so to go grab it. Lowes is open until 830.
Edit: Crap, after reading Scott's post I realized it was Lowe's that had the sneeze shield, not home despot.

I went to Lowe's and home depot today due to an unplanned exterior door replacement...long story, not going into details.We got nothing but time these days. Did it involve cats? I hope it did.
In regards to the fighting the employees - I went to Academy Sports thursday to get Harper a splash pool since they were doing Curbside pick up (kind of nice. I showed them my ID and they threw the pool in the back of the truck), but while we were lined up some asshole pulls up and leaves his truck running in the middle of the lane while he tries to skip the line to go in to the store. They of course weren’t having this which causes him to flip his shit and ends with him flooring it out of the parking lot, nailing a curb on the way out. Quite entertaining.

Garden soil and wasp killer doesnt buy itself.
Same experience as @Scott F. in which the tellers were blocked by plexiglass. They all had gloves, and lots of signs for people to keep their distance.
I did notice that people were only touching stuff they were buying. Maybe this virus will change the way people look at a lot of stuff

my test came back negative.
I have had 2 idiopathic fever episodes in the last 3 months.
Fever is gone and throat is better. (Tylenol, Rest,Musinex Fluids)
I got tested out of an abundance of caution.
Due to my spleenectomy. (From a Mtn bike accident in 1998)
My DVT’s in my left leg in 2005 that have caused several incidents including annual swelling when the weather warms and cellulitis in 2018.
The DVTs are gone but the damage to the veins is still there.
And to top off the Tri Fecta my stroke in 2015 due to complications from Afib.
My Afib is currently in remission due to my Heart Ablation procedure.
All of this makes me immunocompromised.
I've been wearing all of my Crawling for Reid T-Shirts because they give me strength and they remind me of a time we all came together to do something for some one else.
I hope all of you are doing your best to stay safe.
We all want to be able to Ride again and when this is over we will.

Just concluded a Zoom session among our global managers. The exec team did some worst case scenario planning and the impact on our business. The drivers were preserving jobs and preserving capital. I am proud to say that they have put the employees first and have built a plan to protect every single job in the company (about 325 people globally). So, no layoffs but we all share in some cost reduction. Our CEO is taking a 50% pay cut and all exec bonuses are gone for 2020. All execs are taking a 30% pay cut. All bonuses for all employees are gone for 2020. All employees will take a 5% pay reduction. No merit increases for 2020. Revenue generating roles in sales will still be paid commissions (that's good news for my team). It's never great news to hear you are getting a pay cut, but the upside is that everyone keeps their job and has benefits, etc. All of this will be reinstated once our business returns to normal.That's a good deal. Over 3 million people have filed so far for unemployment due to this stupid virus.

I haven't heard anything about our business, but I know we are still in demand...as long as paying for our services isn't at the expense of Maslow's hierarchy's bottom two tiers.

During the great depression, Kellogg's moved from a 40 work week to a 30 work week so more people could have a job. They stuck with it for decades afterwards.

So far all of our construction sites are still going. Lucky for us transportation is considered essential. Look at how much money from the CARES act is going to transportation. Total protection.I haven't heard of any going there...please educate me.

Other transportation winners include rail and transit operators. Amtrak would get $1.02 billion to cover coronavirus-related revenue losses and support state-funded routes. State and local transit agencies would get $25 billion for operating and capital expenses.

Its all stupid AF IMO. 80k died from the flu last year in the US alone, and it didnt shut down shit. People are soft, and we are letting the government dictate, (entirely unconstitutionally i might add) how we are living our lives and making our livings.
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, Flu season runs between October and May and CDC estimates that between October 1, 2019 to March 21, 2020 there has only been 62k estimated deaths related to flu. Also, according to the CDC the flu only has a mortality rate of less than .1%, COVID is currently running at a 5% mortality rate so we'll have to wait and see where COVID deaths reach in a 7 month run.
*EDIT* The current US mortality rate is only 2%, which is still more than double the .1% of the flu.

ONLY 62k lol my bad. My main point was the fact that we are letting them dictate our lives for an unknown length of time from now, ruining small businesses and the economy. Unfortunately the mortality rate is worse because the grand ole USofA is fatter, lazier, and more out of shape than the rest of the world and this virus is hell on your respiratory system. I wasnt trying to argue, maybe just shed a little light on a shit subject in a dark time in a topic labeled "dont panic" ... Yall have a good day at the house, I gotta work my 40-60 for my employees and my own $$$. Maybe better for me to just stay away from the forum for a while honestly, seems my opinion varies too far from the sheep herd.

Just to prove a point, when this topic was posted "Don't Panic" a lot has changed for the worst. We all thought this was a joke or would blow over in a few weeks but, the dead bodies just piling up. Now, if I was in your shoes (as a business owner), I most likely have a total different opinion. And I will say, I thank God, that I'm not a business owner having to deal with it!

So yesterday a Dr. from the Dept. of Health in spaulding county (griffins in that county), called her and quized her on symptoms and got her email, and me and tylers email and # to call us since we are / have been exposed to her. she had all the symptoms, except labored breathing, she had shortness of breath which was/is a symptom, upset stomach , dieareia, cough, fever, weak/dissness. the nxt day we get this email with an attached pdf from the Dept. of health. basically telling us. since she has been tested positive she better not leave or its a crime! yikes. I will try and upload the pdf so yall can see it.
im guessing they want ppl who test positive or have been exposed. like me and tyler. to. NOT go out. i hate it, but i dont want to give anyone what my wife went thru..
Hang in there Kent and thanks for checking in. So no symptoms for you or Tyler? or do they think you are asymptomatic?

Justin, the government is gonna pay you and your team to not work...it may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to get paid to work on your Jeep.Its all stupid AF IMO. 80k died from the flu last year in the US alone, and it didnt shut down shit. People are soft, and we are letting the government dictate, (entirely unconstitutionally i might add) how we are living our lives and making our livings.
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, Flu season runs between October and May and CDC estimates that between October 1, 2019 to March 21, 2020 there has only been 62k estimated deaths related to flu. Also, according to the CDC the flu only has a mortality rate of less than .1%, COVID is currently running at a 5% mortality rate so we'll have to wait and see where COVID deaths reach in a 7 month run.
*EDIT* The current US mortality rate is only 2%, which is still more than double the .1% of the flu.
ONLY 62k lol my bad. My main point was the fact that we are letting them dictate our lives for an unknown length of time from now, ruining small businesses and the economy. Unfortunately the mortality rate is worse because the grand ole USofA is fatter, lazier, and more out of shape than the rest of the world and this virus is hell on your respiratory system. I wasnt trying to argue, maybe just shed a little light on a shit subject in a dark time in a topic labeled "dont panic" ... Yall have a good day at the house, I gotta work my 40-60 for my employees and my own $$$. Maybe better for me to just stay away from the forum for a while honestly, seems my opinion varies too far from the sheep herd.

One thing I hope we see later is the number of tests given for this vs other issues. If we only test the ones who we think have it, then the results will be higher. I honestly do not know how many people we actually test for the Flu. I was tested for the flu back in jan, I was negative. It is the first time I actually remember in a long time that I was given an actual flu test, vs just here are some drugs or come back in 3 days if you still have the symptoms.
Numbers can be manipulated to show what ever needs to be shown. I don't feel like we have a great grasp of the overall issue and the real numbers. When they come out in 3-5 years it will be interesting to look back and see what the real impact was.
At least I am sitting at home watching all the neighbors walk their dogs and have them poop on my corner. Yeah for yoga pants.

The Rural counties #'s are really starting to increase. Dekalb, Cobb, and Fulton have more testing sites so the numbers of people being tested is increasing. I am curious what the margin of error is because there are a lot of people being told to stay home that they haven't tested.

My parents, up around Justin, have indicated many many people are starting to leave the city and retreat to their vacation homes. They are buying out the stores of supplies. I would think this will help things expand as well.The New Jersey governor told his people a while ago: Do not go to your beach house...if you get sick, there are not enough hospital resources to take care of you.
probably the same applies to Union county...but since it's fake news, they really won't have to worry in NoGA.

My Mom is at high risk in NH and my daughter is also at high risk. I can’t remember a time when I was as stressed out as I am every day worrying about my parents and my children.

Stay in Place: The most essential step to stop the spread. There are still people out there running around like nothing is going on. My neighbor is one of them and has had two booty calls in the past week. LOL
Essential Business/Workers: I am grateful for the people that are keeping our country healthy, safe, fed, supplied, and moving. I'm shaking my head at companies like my old employer, Scientific Games, who is keeping their plant open and making employees come to work to make scratch off lottery tickets, even after a confirmed case.
Traveling to vacation homes: We have friends in the NC mountains and there are many people with summer homes from the Northeast and Florida. Most of the FL people that come are from the NE orginally, so naturally annoying. They are invading the area and buying up supplies. My cousin that lives in Daytona Beach sent me a story about a woman at Publix that was overheard saying they had just gotten in from NY. Another customer turned around and told her she shouldn't be in the store and needed to quarantine for 14 days. The NY woman said she didn't care and they needed food. Wonder why NYers are seen as being so ignorant.
Eating and drinking while staying at home: Zip tied the liquor cabinet Saturday. Too many happy hours and too many bad carbs. Only going to have drinks one day a week and been eating healthy and working out each day (full rack of dumbbells and cardio equipment). Dropped 3lbs this week and feeling pretty good. Almost broke down last night but held out.
Working from home: Very happy that I'm not affected by layoffs and still working. The hospitality industry has been hit very hard but our company is committed to keep all corporate employees working. Getting caught up on lingering projects.

My cousin that lives in Daytona Beach sent me a story about a woman at Publix that was overheard saying they had just gotten in from NY. Another customer turned around and told her she shouldn't be in the store and needed to quarantine for 14 days. The NY woman said she didn't care and they needed food. Wonder why NYers are seen as being so ignorant.
Eating and drinking while staying at home: Zip tied the liquor cabinet Saturday. Too many happy hours and too many bad carbs. Only going to have drinks one day a week and been eating healthy and working out each day (full rack of dumbbells and cardio equipment). Dropped 3lbs this week and feeling pretty good. Almost broke down last night but held out.
Working from home: Very happy that I'm not affected by layoffs and still working. The hospitality industry has been hit very hard but our company is committed to keep all corporate employees working. Getting caught up on lingering projects.
The upside of all this for me has been eating much better and less (due to stress) and exercising more regularly. I'm down 12 pounds in the last 3 weeks and feel good.

Same at our house. Chasing a toddler all day and eating all home prepared meals actually has us losing weight during thisRandom thoughts:Good list.
Stay in Place: The most essential step to stop the spread. There are still people out there running around like nothing is going on. My neighbor is one of them and has had two booty calls in the past week. LOL
Essential Business/Workers: I am grateful for the people that are keeping our country healthy, safe, fed, supplied, and moving. I'm shaking my head at companies like my old employer, Scientific Games, who is keeping their plant open and making employees come to work to make scratch off lottery tickets, even after a confirmed case.

Jesus i'm dumber for having watched that. So this guy takes literally 1 PIECE of a sentence out of scientific report and calls it a smoking gun. You can even read the text above and below the line he has highlighted showing how out of context he's taking it. People sharing shit like this is exactly part of the problem.I have been watching the daily numbers https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-19-daily-status-report
The Rural counties #'s are really starting to increase. Dekalb, Cobb, and Fulton have more testing sites so the numbers of people being tested is increasing. I am curious what the margin of error is because there are a lot of people being told to stay home that they haven't tested.
Hopefully, the testing is getting more accurate as well. They were saying the earlier test were only 30% accurate.
A friend of mine that's a researcher sent me this daily chart that allows you to see the timeline.
https://covid-19.direct/state/GA
I hope its better than 30% though, my Doc did warn me about False Negatives.
thnks for tht link, Jimbo.
up here in Nashville things are as hectic as everyplace.
I feel truly thankful for being able to work , albeit a lot , still.
My wife is also able to work from home .
we're on 2nd week of voluntary SIP , knowing mandatory is coming .
...I am concerned w/ how many kids in our neighborhood that I still see running around , playing w/ friends.
I feel bad but our two kids haven't been with others in 2 weeks. They neither want to , thankfully.
it's crazy how many folks just seem to ignore the recommendations.
On another note , my conspiracy theory spidey-sense tingled at this video...
/>
not sure how long they'll leave that up. it's almost painfully logical & underlines what I suspected within the 1st week of all of this.
agreed.
I don't feel like you guys are ' the masses' , however...just friends who can process good or bad data objectively.
I , absolutely, get myself whipped into delusions brought about by misinformation.
I was hoping somebody would say it's BS in just this manner .

Jeez...almost unbelievable, unless you know anything about our governor.That was a misreported statement. Not sure if anyone else listened to the briefing. He was saying that he wasn’t aware that people were going without symptoms through the full duration of the virus. I must be ignorant, I wasn’t aware of that either. I knew that you could be A symptomatic for up to 5 days, but not aware that some weren’t showing symptoms at all.

I guess call me stupid and soft then. At this point I don’t care if my rights are limited or not, if it saves my parents lives or your parents it’s worth it to me.100% agree. My Mom is at high risk in NH and my daughter is also at high risk. I can’t remember a time when I was as stressed out as I am every day worrying about my parents and my children. Anyone that doesn’t think this is a serious health crisis is not paying attention.
It is a waste of energy & time to stress about things out of our control.
But yes, this is a serious health crisis.
If this trend continues, I can see a day in the near future where there is a mandatory 2/3 lockdown of EVERYTHING.
It will be a difficult time but a very necessary step to hopefully crush this Wuhan shit.

The enema function isn't really an enema, but it can stimulate/motivate action. Don't ask me how I know...unless you want to know how I know :)
It does take a while to get clean and dry: 2 minutes of waterworks followed by 3 minutes of drying.
I got a pretty good deal (relatively speaking) when I bought it at the beginning of the TP shortage of 2020, but I just looked and the price has increased, but worse, they'll out of stock on most of them. I'll end up putting one in a bathroom on the lower floor, once the cost is reasonable again.

The bidet is installed...and it's freaking awesome! Mine has a few features (from the retailer's website: adjustable heated seat, adjustable 3-in-1 nozzle, adjustable spray pressure, pulsating spray, oscillating spray, auto wash, and enema function), but the heated seat is probably my favorite 'upgrade' over the basic bidet function; You don't know what you've been missing until you experience it. This one has a Presidential feature: It blows warm/hot air on your bum to dry you.Told ya bro! Welcome to the team! lmao

Without widespread testing, those percentages are just guesses. Any time I see percentages used to make a point, my suspicion meter goes higher.

What the cruise ship data does show that before the lockdown 1 person could infect 7 others, and after it dropped to 1. But a cruise ship is not a country so drawing too many conclusions would be risky.
If you read the linked CDC report, the 46% figure was for those asymptomatic at time of testing. Any of these could develop symptoms later, so the Fox numbers are dubious. One can only determine the true rate by testing the asymptomatic population via the antibody tests after several weeks had passed.

Update on Tammy. She is mending fast, yesterday she was in the yard doing some light weeding and muddling. she came in several times as she still gets exhausted but not as fast, so 100% better. wife bitching is up 200% which means the virus on the run. my daughter and husband (nurse/Doctor) think that me and my son had mild asystematic as we only have light sysmptoms, hard to notice, but after speaking with them over the weekend they think thats why we did not suffer as my wife did. we are still on lock down till this weekend, after that, going out we will still wear masks (we had some from way back) if only to keep asystematic spreading if we go to the store. here in griffin kroger and food depot are only allowing a limited ppl in the store at a time we are told, and only kroger had a line of 10 ppl but a friend said it move pretty fast. they open the store from 8-9 for only those over 60 1st, then after 9 its open to the general public. ppl are walking on the sidewalk, but keeping distance. im guessing this will last thur april, maybe into may.Glad to hear she is doing better.

“Some of these young uns are doing all kinds of unnatural things with their sex organs,” said Robertson. “When people do that, they transfer all kinds of chemicals from ladies’ private parts and that’s where I think the virus came from. We never had this kind of thing when I was coming up. But no one was committing oral sex back then.”

They are also allowing two payment deferred payments and also letting people pay what they can afford at the time. Just have to call them and discuss it.

Most auto customers will get an average payback of about 15% based on their monthly insurance costs during April and May. You can get your payback faster through the Allstate® mobile app.
Allstate
As we all work together to slow the spread of COVID-19, more of us are at home and driving less, which means having fewer accidents. That's why we are announcing a Shelter-in-Place Payback for our auto customers. And, since our lives have become more digital, we are providing free identity protection for the rest of the year.
Most auto customers will get an average payback of about 15% based on their monthly insurance costs during April and May. You can get your payback faster through the Allstate® mobile app.
Allstate® mobile app
In addition to the Shelter-in-Place Payback, we're offering free identity protection. We've already provided extended auto insurance coverage and payment relief for customers facing financial challenges. Take a moment to review these benefits.
Free Identity Protection
An increase in online and financial fraud is an unfortunate reality as families are spending more time online. To combat this, we're making our Allstate Identity Protection product free for the rest of 2020 for customers who sign up in April and May. You can sign up in the Allstate app.
Extended Auto Insurance Coverage
Many auto insurance policies don't cover commercial deliveries. But in this time when so many neighbors are helping deliver vital supplies to their communities, we're extending coverage for customers who use their personal vehicles to commercially deliver food, medicine and other goods.
Payment Relief
Allstate customers experiencing financial challenges can call Allstate to learn how to delay payments without penalty. The Special Payment Plan gives auto and homeowner insurance customers the choice to delay two consecutive premium payments. Customers also can choose to pay what they can afford.
While no one yet knows what the full impact of the pandemic will be, we have delivered for our customers through unprecedented times before—and we're drawing on decades of experience to deliver for you again. Whether you're sheltering at home or on the frontlines fighting COVID-19, we want you to know we're here to support you.
I opened the app and it went immediately to the payback. I hit the button and it said it will be sent to my bank. Nothing else to do, but it didn't say how much it would be.

How does chloroquine work? Same way as it does for malaria. You see, malaria is this little parasite that enters the red blood cells and starts eating hemoglobin as its food source. The reason chloroquine works for malaria is the same reason it works for COVID-19 — while not fully understood, it is suspected to bind to DNA and interfere with the ability to work magic on hemoglobin. The same mechanism that stops malaria from getting its hands on hemoglobin and gobbling it up seems to do the same to COVID-19 (essentially little snippets of DNA in an envelope) from binding to it. On top of that, Hydroxychloroquine (an advanced descendant of regular old chloroquine) lowers the pH which can interfere with the replication of the virus. Again, while the full details are not known, the entire premise of this potentially ‘game changing’ treatment is to prevent hemoglobin from being interfered with, whether due to malaria or COVID-19.

Hospitals losing $ and laying people off as all other business disapated and there aren't that many people sick, sure there are liberal cities of density with huge numbers that are well understood. Many peoples lives have been ruined and many hardships that will last a long time that were avoidable and unnecessary. Certainly is no pandemic and the dem leadership is an embarrassment to our country. The lib and fake news media agenda would be funny if not so effective and damaging to so many good people. Now the GA governor has extended the shelter in place thru April 30 and many that just thought they would survive and get back to work next week are facing a new reality today.

Crazy that our economy is shut down and our freedoms taken away with the necessary prevention precautions known and the sickness and death numbers so low in comparison to the other causes of death. Fake news everywhere. Many doctors have taken to social media to get the truth out.

5 years from now, no worries about COVID-19. There will be a vaccine and antidote. Until then, it will be a problem. Think about next year. Will the same thing happen on a smaller scale?
Post by: TravisMac on April 09, 2020, 08:43:29 AM
I was on the Flu vs. COVID train at first until I watch a video this doctor posted. The difference is this virus can be contacted easier and turns to pneumonia faster. But just like the regular flu, some people have slight cases and doesn't really affect them much.Everything I’ve heard says it’s not seasonal like the flu - so once it’s gone it should be gone. The antidote/vaccine (or everyone getting it) are the only 2 things that will eradicate it

So, the question I have been wrestling with is when do I consider it “safe” to go back to normal. For me, I will still be reluctant to get in planes and I expect to be limiting my travel for a few months. I can also see the wearing of masks out in public persisting for several months.

Who are these lesser people? Sounds like a liberal term... you know we're all Gods children.
You are incorrect again, my hope is that folks that want to work can and will be able to feed their families and pay their bills and not lose what they have worked so hard to obtain. I'm not untouched from this in quite a few ways including an income cut (probably killed or seriously injured the bonus for 2020 too) and we furloughed some last week and reorganized and said goodbye to some this week. Far tougher times than are warranted by CV19 had it been handled properly from the beginning in Wuhan.

my wife & kids used to make fun of my overprotection efforts. An example is , my XJ has a few oil leaks ( the filter housing oring needs replacing) so I loathe crawling under her. For this , I already had a dozen , Dupont & 3M bio- suits with full head hood & booties .
no one was laughing at me the other day when I tried to hug them , eat my lunch , get mail & go around the foyer & living area on my longboard in the suit.
my intention - & point of this reply - is that I think to answer your ," I wonder how this industry will adapt to this stuff..." , I think the airlines will provide full hazmat or comparable body coverage for passengers . I think there's going to be fashion based around full sealing of ourselves from each other.
Suddenly ,those Aldous Huxley ' Feelies' movies that were in ' Brave New World' seem not far fetched. I just wanna take my Jeep to some obstacle .I'd willingly wear a containment suit if it permitted me to do so.
I think that's one direction we're headed.

“in Seattle, the [University of Washington] is providing thousands of tests per day but no one is connected to a national tracking system” and that “Whenever there is a positive test it should be seen to understand where the disease is and whether we need to strengthen the social distancing.”
I see no issue with that. It doesn’t mean tracking as implanting your with a tracking device, but creating a national tracking database to see where people have been vaccinated as well as where new clusters are popping up. I’m actually surprised that isn’t already being done

I know the cognitive technology & some of the Idp token mgmt that'd be involved in the identity & tracking component that'd ve behind this & I'd say that I trust THAT to be capable of such a solution being reliable & accurate however ... whether or not I would be into participating in a federal or state sanctioned program that claimed that intent is another matter....
I think this type of thing's mentioned in the Bible , innit?

I also don't belive the numbers that China keeps reporting or not reporting. With the amount of people over there i just don't belive that it just leveled off like they claim.

I can’t remember where I read that China had hundreds of thousand cell phone #’s get turned off. Makes you think the death toll was way way worse.I read the same.
It explained that alot of folks in China have 2 cell phones. As the economy tanks & people stop receiving a paycheck, some opted to turn them off. Plus some were from business' that closed.
So "they" say.

We are working like gang Busters.
We had a meeting to & were told they had expected a 5% sales increase over last year.
We are now looking at a 30-50% increase.
That is crazy.
I reluctantly took a peek at my 401k.
It only took a 15% hit.
I was pleasantly surprised.

We’re wide open making wire and cable in the utility (600v, medium and high voltage) market. Building wire has been slower for a while but we can make enough as it stands now. We’ve had a lot less operators showing up to work lately as our attendance policy is waived, but we still have production goals of 23 million ish lbs of wire a month.

yeah, I wondered about a 2nd & 3rd round of furloughs or layoffs ...all of this sucks . Crazily, I've been doing exactly wtf we're all being required to do for six years now. I've been quarantined by my work & not known that's what it's been the whole time.
my one excursion every month is the GATR ride.
(aren't you guys lucky ! lol)
I've been very lucky & thankful in prayers that that scenario hasn't changed for me much, similar to Dave, I've been in greater demand. the client I subcontract for did make some administration furloughs . I'm not foolish enough to think I'm immune tho
I just miss our rides a whole lot.

If it was funded by the government that would be one thing, but why does it matter if they "waste" money?

In Atlanta you have to fit a certain socio economic profile to get a job there.
The bail outs of big businesses and airline has to stop. Those companies that don't keep prudent reserves need to fail. Taxpayer funding of businesses means we should own the businesses. They should be giving their stock to the taxpayers. I'm still waiting for my GM from 08 to show up.

trump wants the postal system to fail so no one can vote by mail in his failed re election bid. Big Mike is correct though they have need to ovehaul and change the postal system. 2-3 days per week and no weekends would save a lot of time and money.

The USPS has been a problem for many years. With the new digital world, there's really no reason for them to exist. When's the last time anyone has sent a check in the mail to pay a bill? USPS is a drain on the federal government and should be privatized.
And these bailouts are loans, they are not free. The Fed's made over $15B from the $441.7B TARP program back in 2008. Saved millions of jobs and didn't cost taxpayers a dime.

Reminds me of the time he would never become the republican nominee in 2016. It also reminds me of the time he would never be able to beat Hillary. Or when he most definitely would be impeached. Or the other time he would definitely be impeached.

I’m just here to say there is no way you’re getting good pricing with shipping USPS unless it’s flat rate... they’re higher than giraffe puss after this last price increase about 4 months ago. I had to pay postage on a letter to a PO Box 20 ft behind the counter... they can go fly a kite.I try to use flat rate if at all possible. If you ship a lot I highly recommend Regional Boxes - incredibly cheap to ship anywhere east of Colorado. I trade beer with a buddy up in CT often and it's only $8 to stuff a Regional B box. Only problem is the boxes aren't available at the post office, you have to order them online https://faq.usps.com/s/article/Regional-Rate-Boxes

“But an even bigger cause of the financial decline is a 2006 law that requires the Postal Service, unlike any other government agency, to pay $5.5 billion a year into a health fund for its future retirees. The majority of the agency’s losses since 2007, about $32 billion, result from the health funding requirement, financial documents show.”
As you know, the PAEA was passed under Bush, which brings me back to my original question of why conservatives dislike the post office so much? It started before the red in your graph.

So I read that earlier and the dates line up with this:I saw that USPS is asking for money too as Trump works on a much larger package for airlines. Honest question - why do republicans dislike the post office? Why are they cast in a different light over other large businesses that are receiving money?
For example: Trump said he would reject the CARES act if it included money for the USPS. I can't find a straight answer on why that was.

It's hard to stay at home when you've been out of work for 3 months and you're going to lose your home. Most of us in this group are fortunate to have steady jobs, but health care and service jobs make up the bulk of our economy now. Without people dining out, staying in hotels, or having surgeries we're on borrowed time before people lose houses. Sure we can delay payments, but good luck catching up on 3+ months of back payments for your apartment.

I know banks and mortgage companies are working with people that call and speak with them. I have several neighbors that have said as much.
This is not going to be over in just a couple of months. Predictions are 18 months to 2 years for a Vaccine. Parts of our economy may return to work if the Social Distancing is maintained and the spread does not increase. But I won't be surprised if those same parts are shut down again, if the Covid increases.

Apparently, CA has a travel ban until the end of May. We hired (made an offer and he accepted) a scheduler when all of this started but he hasn't been in a position to quit with his other company because they have him set up with in apartment out in CA. He's here in GA and due to this travel band can't get to CA to empty his apartment out or get his car.That is total Cali bullshit.

For those of you that don’t really know what’s going on in the world today.
You more then likely haven’t seen or heard anything because you get your news from people that are doing this to you because this is their investment.
Around 10 years ago China started to do experiments on how to get the corona virus from animals to transmit into humans, the only way they could do this is by altering its dna. Communist China released this on its people to spread it throughout the world.
First they didn’t say anything for a few months and were denying that there’s a pandemic coming, then they put blame on a wet market which was closed down. Now they are saying that they have been doing the research (only because there’s paper trail via emails and the lady who made this virus has published her work) but it wasn’t for a bio weapon it was to keep up with the American science? First why would you want to invent a virus to kill people if you’re just doing research for fun?
Trump stopped the funding to the world health organization “w.h.o” because they knew about this pandemic and did not act to advise the WORLD in a timely fashion, they have been the people that have been advising all governments to shut down the the street and shutting down the economy.
Why would they advise trump to do this?
The reason why is because what they are wanting to do is cattle people to believe that they are their savior and the only way they can go back to living is to do what they say.
They have a plan to to give everyone a vaccine that has been produced by Bill Gates the owner of Microsoft? Weird right? Well this is where it’s interesting, they have been working on a micro chip they want to plant into everybody before you can go back to work. This is call agenda 21.
With this microchip you’ll pretty much become a iPhone sharing all your information and location.
In China they already have this system, it’s face recognition. So put the pieces together.
New world order is where a select few people control the world, they want to be one government that controls everything.
So w.h.o is funded by every country, we already know that the left wants new world order. We already know China has all of their citizens information and locations.
We already know bill gates is making a microchip not a vaccine. You can put that how ever you want to think about it.
So back to the corona virus, it’s been said by many doctors and coroners that’s if someone has covid 19 like symptom to put them down as a covid19 victim before they can even do any testing, this is to bump up the numbers to put the state of fear into everyone making people want to shut down the economy.
Now it has been learnt that the best way to combat a virus is through Vitamin abc and d and build a immunity to it, this will not be the case for everyone but most people. This is why we are finding that they are wanting to open everything back up.
Trump has once again stopped new world order coming in by having the right people and these people are risking their lives literally by getting this information out.
This is why we are now seeing trump open up the economy again, they tried to break everyone into submission of fear. If you think for one minute the left has your well-being of your life in their mind well you’re a lost cause.
I’m deeply worried for Australia because they have probably the most corrupt government of all, China owns 95% of Australia’s resources.
You might think politicians are in it for you, end of the day you do as your boss tells you, they are doing the same thing.
You can shrug it off and say it’s bull shit but this is how it looks and theres plenty of information out there just don’t look on main stream because they are the ones who are behind it.

I can at least understand a POV that the media is sensationalizing it and absolutely believe that China’s corrupt government downplayed/is downplaying the severity in their country, but that Bill gates wants to implant us with tracking devices is ridiculous. Especially when tech companies already have tracking devices in everyone’s pockets.Facebook news can choke on a fanny pack of dildosDont believe?

Also trump pulled funding from the WHO because he is gaslighting you. Alarms went off for months (I went out and stocked up on masks in January), trump and others just refused to believe it could happen here. Now that it has they need to shift the blame.
Post by: Trailabite on April 18, 2020, 12:08:20 PM
There is no new world order coming!
And if the WHO knew about what was going on in China and didn't let the rest of the world know, then cutting off the funds is justified. And saying Trump didn't act fast enough is lunacy as well. By the time the rest of the world heard about it, it was already too late!

Lisa nor myself knew how to handle it ,if we should at all, but we were both furious that the neighbor's ( a late 20s- mid 30s aged gay couple & a female roommate/sister/front , whatever...not that there's anything wrong w/ that, ,just fwiw) had appearently invited 10-12 people to hang out, Welcomed each into the front door after they arrived , coming by 1,2 to 3 per car , carrying beer & party favors.
WTF.
Is it old-guy or over aggressive for that to p*ss us off?
My 1st reaction was to hit Instagram or fcbk & shame the morons but thought I'd sleep on it, ask you guys opinion ths morning.
I've only ever nodded at them . I laugh when the chaps wearing one revs his little Sportster up over & over ...
They partied till 2-3am , drinking in garage during shelter at home ....cept they're disrespectful to neighbors ; wadda ya do?
anything?
I think I've mentioned but I didn't grow up like this I feel like these are above ground graves & just add water homes.
I grew up on over 400 acres of farm.
so I'm not a fan of living this close to other people.*
am I making something outta nothing?

I kind of wish I could get it and either die, or know I am good to go out into public. I say that having not had even the flu in 20 years (and at the time wishing I was dead), and without scientific knowledge about passing it around after having recovered from having COVID19.

I kind of wish I could get it and either die, or know I am good to go out into public. I say that having not had even the flu in 20 years (and at the time wishing I was dead), and without scientific knowledge about passing it around after having recovered from having COVID19. My perspective/attitude may change ;)

John...fake news only generated because Trump recommended it. If anyone else would've recommended it, it would be THE cure. Haters gonna hate idiots.Except for the new link to heart problems with HydroxychloroquineTrump brand Hydroxychloroquine will solve it...no problem. He should release the emergency stockpile, force companies too make unlimited amounts of it, and get everyone else back to work immediately. Show some leadership, Trump.Sources believe coronavirus originated in Wuhan lab as part of China's efforts to compete with US

You really want to know what I think about the governor’s decision to reopen many businesses closed by COVID-19?
It’s about making sure people can’t file unemployment. It isn’t about saving lives, certainly. It’s not about the peak of the curve. I think lots of people are going to ignore the governor and stay home regardless. This isn’t a decision being driven by epidemiology. It’s the rawest and most lethal of political decisions, and it will kill people.
Kemp is looking forward to the fiscal discussion in 2021 and 2022, when all of this really starts to hit. He got elected by out-yahooing the field. His base has been trained to view government spending as a crime, and he knows that he becomes politically vulnerable to an attack if he raises taxes. He is not capable of delivering a nuanced message around necessity, because his base doesn’t know how to hear it.
The state is staring at one million unemployment applications. It probably cannot pay those over six months. The unemployment fund has a reserve of about $2.6 billion. Last week it paid out about $42 million — which is about three times as much as it usually does. That figure will double in two weeks, give or take. Maybe more.
At that rate, the fund is empty in about 28 weeks. Probably less. Even if things improve later, that fund will run dry in a year, because unemployment isn’t going to return to 5 percent for a long time.
Georgians did the Kansas thing a couple of years ago and instituted a hard constitutional limit on income taxes of 6 percent. It cannot go higher without amending the state constitution. What that means is that there’s no easy mechanism for the state to accommodate an extraordinary expense, like this, without somehow telling Republican reactionaries that they must raise taxes.
Those reactionaries are the ones who will be protesting in front of the statehouse Friday when businesses start to reopen.
If there’s no state order calling for businesses to be closed, the people who are unemployed can no longer claim that their unemployment is involuntary, even if it would be utter idiocy for them to return to work. A hairdresser or a massage therapist cannot maintain social distance. But they can certainly file for relief … unless the law says they can work.
“Gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools & massage therapists.”
Not banks. Not software firms. Not factories. Not schools.
It is no coincidence that the businesses on this list are staffed by relatively poor people. Because that’s who he wants off the unemployment rolls. And if they die … well, they’re mostly black people, or Asian, and poor, and an acceptable political loss for a Republican governor.
The purpose of this isn’t to open up these businesses. It’s to get the workers there off the dole. Work, and die. Or don’t work … but you’re on your own. Because we can’t raise taxes to cover the time you spent trying to save your life and the lives of the people around you.

Interesting take on the "re-opening" of GA and what the motivations could be behind it. The TL;DR is that the unemployment fund will be dry in 28 weeks or less, re-opening lowers the number of new people that would be eligible (a server, hair dresser, etc... making $2.13 an hour + tips isn't eligible just because that tip number is 1/10th of what it used to be). Also the people in those jobs don't typically vote red anyways, so it looks like a win in the eyes of his base which skews more towards "essential" roles.QuoteYou really want to know what I think about the governor’s decision to reopen many businesses closed by COVID-19?

“In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine, either with or without azithromycin, reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19,” the researchers said. “An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with hydroxychloroquine alone. These findings highlight the importance of awaiting the results of ongoing prospective, randomized, controlled studies before widespread adoption of these drugs.”

For those that just read the headline and not the whole thing, just wanted to point out some highlights.
Quote
Two people in Georgia drank liquid cleaning products over the weekend in misguided attempts to ward off COVID-19, according to the Georgia Poison Center. Both men had histories of psychiatric problems and are expected to recover.
The poison center’s director, Gaylord Lopez, said he did not know if the men guzzled the chemicals because they heard about President Donald Trump’s statements during a Thursday White House briefing, when the president wondered aloud if coronavirus could be treated by injecting a disinfectant into the human body. Since the pandemic began, at least two other Georgians have fallen ill from similar attempts to clean their inner organs with household chemicals, even before Trump’s remarks.
So far, though, the state’s biggest spike in poisonings from cleaning products has been caused by home-bound Georgians mixing products together to furiously scrub surfaces, then falling ill from inhaling fumes. Last year, the poison center handled 49 product-mixing calls in March and April. This year, since March 1 the center has had 115 calls, Lopez said.
“When you mix bleach with certain types of chemicals, you produce a reaction that can cause release of noxious and toxic gases, and if you inhale enough of this stuff, you can induce a chemical pneumonia,” Lopez said.
The same trend has played out across the country with the CDC recommending disinfecting high-touch surfaces, and panicked shoppers clearing store shelves of such products as Clorox, Lysol and hand sanitizer. In the first three months of the year, calls to poison centers about exposures to household cleaners and disinfectants rose 20 percent. “There appears to be a clear temporal association with increased use of these products,” the CDC noted in a report last week.
Georgia has also seen a rise in cases of children ingesting chemicals because their parents, distracted while working from home, left them unattended around unsecured bottles of fluid and medicines, Lopez said. Overall, poison calls have risen 9 percent this year.
Asked about Trump’s comments last week, Lopez lamented in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that too many people were interpreting news reports to mean that Trump had recommended injecting disinfectants, when in fact he was only asking questions about the possibility of such a treatment.
On Thursday Bill Bryan, head of the Department of Homeland Security’s science and technology division, had just presented research indicating coronavirus can’t survive for long in direct sunlight or in warm, humid conditions. Trump first floated the idea of blasting the human body with ultraviolet light, then he asked about disinfectant.
“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that. So, that, you’re going to have to use medical doctors with. But it sounds — it sounds interesting to me.”
A White House press secretary later said Trump’s comments had been taken “out of context” by the news media, and Trump himself later said he was only being “sarcastic.” Still, Trump faced rebuke from medical professionals and congressional lawmakers, and his comments prompted the distributor of Lysol to issue a press release warning that “under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body (through injection, ingestion or any other route).”
Lopez noted that living through a pandemic can be especially difficult for the mentally ill.
On Saturday, he said, a man in his 50s living southwest of Atlanta was hospitalized after drinking several ounces of bleach “to prevent Covid.” He was moved to a psychiatric ward before being discharged.
“He said that he took 16 ounces,” the director said. “I don’t know very many patients who will take 16 ounces, but then again, it is a psych history patient.”
On Sunday, a man in his 30s who lives in the Atlanta area ingested a mixture of Pine-Sol, mouthwash, beer and pain medications. He also has since been discharged.
Lopez said he could not release further details about the cases because of patient confidentiality concerns. The Georgia Poison Center learned of both cases after receiving calls from hospitals.
“We don’t ask the question of, was it because they watched a TV show?” Lopez said. “We are just told, ‘What do we do for these patients?’ And it’s our job to try to give them treatment advice to make sure these patients make it.”
Because of the increase in calls during the pandemic, U.S. Health and Human Services has awarded nearly $5 million to poison centers nationwide to improve response capabilities. The Georgia Poison Center will receive $148,000.
So, the 1st line is misleading, kind of concludes thats the reason they did it, but no actual proof. besides they had mental issues.

The CDC site even states that their numbers are not accurate.
"The provisional counts for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) deaths are based on a current flow of mortality data in the National Vital Statistics System. National provisional counts include deaths occurring within the 50 states and the District of Columbia that have been received and coded as of the date specified. It is important to note that it can take several weeks for death records to be submitted to National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), processed, coded, and tabulated. Therefore, the data shown on this page may be incomplete, and will likely not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for the more recent time periods. Death counts for earlier weeks are continually revised and may increase or decrease as new and updated death certificate data are received from the states by NCHS. COVID-19 death counts shown here may differ from other published sources, as data currently are lagged by an average of 1–2 weeks."
I guess you will choose to believe what you want to believe.

The Georgia Health Department's total confirmed case numbers are very close to the John Hopkins numbers on a daily basis, but the confirmations per day since the stay at home order was lifted are hardly increasing. You might wonder how that is possible. What they're doing is increasing the counts on days prior to lifting the stay at home order!
I chose a random date to monitor daily to see what was going on. My date was April 17 th. Look at how the number of confirmed cases on that date keep increasing, and how few of cases have happened in the last week.
On May 4th, the April 17th count was 21327
This morning the April 17th count was 21345
A few minutes ago it was 21364

Yes, this is due to the older tests taking longer to get results. For example. Tests given on April 1st May have taken 3 weeks to get a result, whereas tests given in April 14 only took 2 weeks to get a result, and tests given April 28 only took a few days to get results. There was a bit of a back log for a while, but they also had a dump of nearly 3,000 test results that for some reason didn’t get reported out of a hospital in Augusta(not test from Augusta, just lab results that were processed in Augusta)I don't know, but April 17 was a while ago...are the labs 3 weeks behind?I'm pretty sure Brian Kemp is cheating wrt COVID19.

Also - this is from a few weeks ago:

Living in Fear is not LivingThe problem with stats like that is that YOU (well, a totally healthy person under the age of 40) have a 98% chance of surviving it. If you still see your parents or a friend who is immunocompromised on a regular basis, their chances are much lower. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trade my parents life for "the economy"

2 German girls I went to College with worked there. (late 80's) They used to have crazy pool parties at a house in Buckhead. German girls don't wear bikini's to swim. Good times.
In the 90's I worked for Binder's Art Supply in Catalog Sales, my boss's wife worked days there as a bartender.
We would go in for lunch. It was awkward eating lunch and seeing your boss's wife. She was a hottie though.

Has there been a big uptick in cases or deaths there? Haven’t seen news either way...Who knows for sure, but it looks like Kemp may have gotten it right. The cyclical side wants to add, "if you don't care about the lives of Georgians and visitors to the state."

The Georgia numbers are a sham (as are the CDC numbers), and businesses are still not open (although my hair cutting place appears to open tomorrow).
The lack of headline reporting is because the numbers aren't cataclysmic...you can bet your ass CNN would have Georgia front and center during every broadcast if the numbers had gone through the roof. So even with sham counts, the real numbers aren't terrible...I guess.

I’m going to keep this going."By order of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp: The day after Thursday is now Sunday"
@clark123456
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/18/only-america-is-sunday-day-after-thursday/
Last week, Georgia’s Department of Public Health released a graph showing a dramatic, steady decline in cases, deaths and hospitalizations in the state’s five most affected counties, from a peak on April 28, just before the state’s restrictions were eased, to near zero two weeks later.
But on closer inspection, the dates on the chart showed a curious ordering: April 30 was followed by May 4; May 5 was followed by May 2, which was followed by May 7 — which in turn was followed by April 26. The dates had been re-sorted to create the illusion of a decline. The five counties were likewise re-sorted on each day to enhance the illusion.

Georgia’s COVID-19 positive rate is higher than what state reports. Here’s why.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ledger-enquirer.com/news/coronavirus/article242831786.html
"A representative for the Georgia Department of Public Health confirmed Monday that data on its website listing the total number of tests performed includes both antibody and viral tests for the novel coronavirus. The two tests are not the same. Antibody tests tell signs of previous infections while viral tests identify those who are currently infected.
“You’re putting apples and oranges together and calling them oranges,” said Dr. Harry J. Heiman, a clinical associate professor at Georgia State University’s School of Public Health. “You’re mixing two different tests. ...All that does is over-inflate the testing number.
“If anything, it skews those numbers to make it appear like the level of disease relative to testing is actually dropping much more dramatically than it is.”
The acknowledgment comes as Gov. Brian Kemp and other state officials have touted the state’s expanded testing and the declining rate of positive cases over the past several weeks as Georgia works to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Nancy Nydam, a spokesperson for the Georgia health department, said the state received its first antibody test results on April 16.
But it’s unclear how much of the state’s recent testing increases can be attributed to antibody testing. Nydam was unable to provide McClatchy with the number of total antibody tests performed in Georgia since mid-April."

And they are at it again:
Georgia’s COVID-19 positive rate is higher than what state reports. Here’s why.

Office's, restrooms, and plant stations and tools went through a Deep Cleaning over the weekend and are now cleaned 3 times a day.
We have been allowed to return to work, everyone in masks. Everyone was required to get a Covid Test. A positive result will mean an immediate 14 quarantine. They take our temperature before we come into work everyday and keep a log.
We have been told we can remove our masks with a negative test result. While I see little need to wear one in my office, out in the shop is a different matter because of the close proximity of others.
I see this becoming the new normal.
Until we get a vaccine and treatment plans.

I don't trust either government, but the fact is the US acted slowly at first, and thenremoved restrictions too soon to have controlled the virus, so it was all a waste of productivity and money (trillions).
Oh well, we're only losing the old and unhealthy...hot, young ladies should survive.
