This is the damndest thing....  Trump supporters making fun of Biden's mental status.    Seriously.  

MERS killed 866 people worldwide. Again, basic math.   Btw, in an entire year, the flu kills 3,500 - 15,500 in the US. They suspect some cases aren't identified and so they estimate up to 61

A Brooklyn man has been accused of lying about hoarding medical supplies and of coughing on police officers, officials announced Monday.

 

Baruch Feldheim, 43, was arrested over his alleged large supply and illegal sale of surgical masks, medical gowns and other medical supplies. He also was charged with assault for allegedly coughing on FBI agents while saying he had COVID-19, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced in a release.

 

Feldheim allegedly sold medical supplies, including N95 respirators, to doctors and nurses at an inflated price. On March 18, a New Jersey doctor requested 1,000 N95 masks in a WhatsApp chat group entitled “Virus2020!”, according to documents filed or statements made in association with the case. Feldheim allegedly charged him $12,000 for the masks, amounting to about a 700 percent markup.

 

The doctor was instructed to pick up the supplies at an auto repair shop in Irvington, N.J., which he was told had enough materials to fill a hospital with hand sanitizers, Clorox wipes, chemical cleaning supply agents and surgical supplies.

Encouraging:


How many people die after being infected with the novel coronavirus? Fewer than previously calculated, according to a study released Monday, but still more than die from the flu. The research, published in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases, estimated that about 0.66% of those infected with the virus will die.

 

That coronavirus death rate, which is lower than earlier estimates, takes into account potentially milder cases that often go undiagnosed -- but it's still far higher than the 0.1% of people who are killed by the flu.

 

When undetected infections aren't taken into account, the Lancet study found that the coronavirus death rate was 1.38%, which is more consistent with earlier reports.

I only heard of him less than 6months ago. A guy with Nashville connections who owns a guitar shop less than 30min from me gave me grief -- You don't know John Prine?!  This world is too small sometimes.

Yeah he’s not the biggest name out there, but I’ve heard of him described as a songwriters songwriter. Cash, Dylan, Roger Waters and Robert Plant have all said he’s one of their favourite artists

THEN:

 

Political views[edit]

In April 2007, Francesa criticized Democratic Presidential nominees Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton after they called for the resignation of Don Imus, following comments Imus made about the Rutgers women's basketball team.[65]

 

In 2016, Francesa came out as a supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, supporting him as early as May 2016 and voting for him in the 2016 presidential election.[66] He has previously expressed support for Trump's national anthem perspectives, tweeting that the "NFL has lost its way" by allowing players to kneel for the playing of the national anthem.[67] Francesa also brushed off reports that President Trump's finances were in trouble, pointing out that he was still able to win the 2016 election.[68]

164k today.  Another 20k new cases.  3040 dead.  Mortality rate compared to known cases is at 1.8%  It's slowly climbed over the last week.  24 states with 1000+ cases.  

 

We had 17k new cases on the 26th and has only went up to just over 20k today.  Since we're largely certain there are more cases out there, have we reached our testing limit?  Either because many states are only testing people with symptoms or we are just at pure manpower limits?  Or both?

I think the body bag stories and images, plus Trump’s own realization spilling forth to his crowd is going to put the real fear in people. Plus a few notable people have passed away. Nobody is going anywhere anytime soon and hopefully these numbers start to trend down.
