Beshear is a lefty TDS bastard as Ky governor and Indiana's Eric Holcomb is just a good hearted pussy. Should have been a preacher no way he cuts it as governor but he rode Pence's coattails.

Very true. Lil Andy is evil. And the lemmings are chanting “go Andy!” As they go over the cliff.

Why do many of y'all insist on arguing "losing a few old/infirm people ain't worth the economic hit" when that is not the point of the restrictions? As has been explained repeatedly, both here and in the press conferences: The purpose is to slow the infection rates in hopes of avoiding overwhelming health care systems while the government and medical community seek to get a handle on this thing.

As an aside, btw: In Detroit, 43 and 38 year old men with no underlying health conditions died today of complications resulting from C19 infections.

Update: Testing started here just 1 week ago. We had a few confirmed cases from testing late last week, sent home to isolate and hopefully recover.

Our first CV patient admitted just two days ago (Sunday). As of earlier today (Tuesday) a total of 12 people have already been admitted to the hospital with either confirmed or suspected coronavirus symptoms. This includes three patients currently in the hospital’s intensive care unit.

I'm praying it doesn't outpace our ICU capacity. We were able to expanded it some in the weeks leading up to this point. I am so incredibly proud of my health system.

Regardless of what anyone believes about this virus,.. Regardless of what one day turns out to be proven as true or false, .. This is a very scary time to be a healthcare worker. Nurses, Doctors and a myriad of clinical and support staff have been at war for weeks before the first patient arrived, and for many the battle is only now starting to escalate. The stress and anxiety is like nothing I've ever experienced. All of the cumulative stressors we're all going through, plus the responsibility to fight this virus and care for our patients. I spent most of the evening debating my own symptoms that are coming on. I'm pretty sure it's just an anxiety attack.

Yes, we are there now. Stop this bullshit now.

Agreed. I was open minded about this possible pandemic, but I’m becoming skeptical. The “experts” are wrong too often. I’ll do what I’m told, but if we go another few weeks without seeing the disaster that has justified upending our lives and freedoms.... people might just start to disobey.

The coronavirus is not mutating significantly as it circulates through the human population, according to scientists who are closely studying the novel pathogen’s genetic code. That relative stability suggests the virus is less likely to become more or less dangerous as it spreads, and represents encouraging news for researchers hoping to create a long-lasting vaccine...

Extremely positive information. As bad a C19 is now, mutations multiply the horror potential. A "stable" target is a lot easier to hit (gun forum analogy )

Several months ago Oregon banned plastic shopping bags, so now everyone has reusable bags. Now they banned those. Fucking clown show!

At the bottom of this link is a press brief by NY Gov Cuomo

https://hotair.com/archives/jo...actually-increasing/


He lays out the data that shows a NY need for more hospital beds, medical staff, and ventilators. He gives the current number of NY people in the hospital and on ventilators because of coronavirus.

The bad news is that the latest predictions are that the peak number of cases will occur in 2 to 3 weeks.

Although he doesn't give the new estimated peak number, if you extrapolate from the data of today, the new estimated peak is over 1,000,000 cases in NY

If case fatality rate were around 1%, a pretty good number, there would be around 10,000 deaths in New York. Best case, around 1,000 deaths.

Has anyone brought up the fact that the stimulus bill is up to 6 TRILLION dollars yet? The dems are throwing every fucking thing into this bill. Fuck that.

We'll need a stimulus bill to recover from the stimulus bill.

If the federal gov was expected to spend 4.3 trillion this year and the deficit was rising, how do we survive paying for 6 trillion more in one spending bill? Does not seem possible or equitable to me. Are we trying to overdose on a money pill, didn't they read the side effects?

change my mind.

Well, I could use more. 22lr

How many died from choking? Falls? Car accidents? How about good old medical malpractice?

If this thing passes it’s going to increase our national debt by 25%! Total of 30 trillion dollars. Holy shit. This has gone way too far.

This what these pieces of shit do...and they are dragging everyone else down with them...to question them in any way is “immoral” or as my cousin says “just being mean”...this has fucked us in more ways than one

wait, what. They banned people bringing reusable bags? Hadn't heard that.

At my Publix there is an employee that sprays down your cart with disinfectant/bleach before you touch it...poor guy that is his only job...one after another ...Walmart is like “let me sneeze on your buggy before you take it”

Yup. The kids were in the room and I was hollering at Mayor Demmings on the TV, "YOU F---KING A--HOLE!" I do not curse much, and certainly not at that volume, so my wife and kid's mouths dropped to the ground.

This is what we get when Central Floridians turn out to the polls and elect a retard as Orange County Mayor. I've personally dealt with Jerry Demmings (Congresswoman Val Demmings husband) on numerous occasions and the man is virtually illiterate. Yeah for diversity, we have a black mayor....a retarded black mayor.
