I wish IHME would put up a comparison between what they projected to date and what the actual numbers were. It would be interesting to get some sense of what their actual error has been so far.

People with COVID-19 who have stayed home (home isolated) can stop home isolation under the following conditions:

If you will not have a test to determine if you are still contagious, you can leave home after these three things have happened:
  • You have had no fever for at least 72 hours (that is three full days of no fever without the use medicine that reduces fevers)
  • AND other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved)
  • AND at least 7 days have passed since your symptoms first appeared

    If you will be tested to determine if you are still contagious, you can leave home after these three things have happened:
  • You no longer have a fever (without the use medicine that reduces fevers)
  • AND other symptoms have improved (for example, when your cough or shortness of breath have improved)
  • AND you received two negative tests in a row, 24 hours apart. Your doctor will follow CDC guidelines.
    _______________________________________

    If someone in your home is sick
  • Continue to practice everyday preventive actions
  • Keep the ill person in a separate room from others in the household
  • If caring for a sick household member, follow recommended precautions and monitor your own health
  • Keep surfaces disinfected
  • Avoid sharing personal items
  • If you become sick, stay in contact with others by phone or email
  • Stay informed about the local outbreak situation
  • Notify your work if your schedule needs to change
  • Take care of the emotional health of your household members, including yourself

    'No worker without rights': Pope Francis advocates for universal basic income in 'this time of danger'

    https://www.washingtonexaminer...-this-time-of-danger



    Pope Francis may want to consider joining the #YangGang.

    The pope expressed his belief that the time is now to consider the concept of universal basic income in an Easter Sunday letter about the coronavirus pandemic sent to the leaders of major social movements.

    “This may be the time to consider a universal basic wage which would acknowledge and dignify the noble, essential tasks you carry out,” Francis wrote. “It would ensure and concretely achieve the ideal, at once so human and so Christian, of no worker without rights.”

    The pope also said that some low-income workers “have been excluded from the benefits of globalization.”

    “You do not enjoy the superficial pleasures that anesthetize so many consciences, yet you always suffer from the harm they produce,” Francis wrote. “The ills that afflict everyone hit you twice as hard.

    “I hope that this time of danger will free us from operating on automatic pilot, shake our sleepy consciences and allow a humanist and ecological conversion that puts an end to the idolatry of money and places human life and dignity at the centre,” he added.

    The concept of UBI was amplified by former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who advocated for a plan that would give all American adults a "freedom dividend" of $1,000 per month.

    During a September debate, Yang announced that he would be providing a small group of randomly-selected U.S. citizens $1,000 a month for a year as a test run of his policy proposal. He has since begun payments despite dropping from the race.

    Yang also said that he was in contact with the White House during the decision to provide many U.S. citizens with $1,200 checks as part of the coronavirus relief package.

    Or, quite possibly, as has been pointed out in previous posts, the hospitals get paid $39,000 for each COVID-19 vent. The fact if it was just the flu or pneumonia is quite lost in the fog of war. Am sure hospitals don’t get paid out quite so much for flu or pneumonia “deaths”.

    When you hear the government state these words, prepare for a complete and total clusterfuck to follow. And voila, look where we're at today. The "experts" have been spectacularly wrong, the economy is in tatters, people are terrified and at each others throats, and the politicos are either thrilled at the opportunity this offers them (Dem's), or hiding under their desks hoping it will go away (Repub's).

    Short and sweet, they "did something" alright. They screwed us all. Now it's time for us to screw them back...and hard.

    Fucking government. Shitty stats. Shit for brains. I know that real people are getting affected. But how much of this is real STHF vs stupid fucking propaganda and narratives? No way to know w/ idiotic leftists in control of the numbers.


    If you are using 1.3acres site, I know that has to be wrong, I am quite sure that more than two people have recovered in my state. Especially because I know of one recovered person in a county that has zero recovered listed.

    My one friend who’s still recovering after being in the hospital (the one that didn’t get on a ventilator), was told to self quarantine until May 1st.

    He got released a week or two ago from the hospital (I lost track).

    I’m actually gonna drive down to see him Tuesday. Drop him off an N95 mask. You’d think the hospital would have sent him home with a few.

    In Texas, the County Judge is the emergency manager. I live in a conservative county in the northern suburbs of Houston. Not only does my county track the numbers, but both the County Judge and the precinct commissioner post the stats every afternoon. Additionally, they offer both condolences (thankfully, it's only happened 5x) and good news when people are released from the hospital. Here is yesterday's:


    The local CBS affiliate posts stats for the Houston Metropolitan area too (FYI - city of Houston is libtarded):

    BTW, the Houston metropolitan area is larger than Connecticut.

    email from my auto insurance company:

    "...
    We recognize that due to various stay‑at‑home directives, customers are driving less. In light of this, during the month of April we are reducing auto insurance premiums by 25% on Farmers branded and 21st Century branded policies. No action is needed from you, as the reduction will be applied automatically as a credit on your next billing statement. If you recently paid your account in full, we will issue you a refund for the amount of the reduction. As the situation progresses, we will determine if further action is required..."

    ^^^ Nice.

    Keep in mind that State and Local tax collected will be way down and expenses up. Less tax collected from income tax, payroll and businesses. Unemployment up, so expenses increased.

    Tatortodd, glad they do. Will be interested in what Gov. Abbott has to say about reopening plans this week.

    FWIW, I have seen a few Rx's for hydroxychloroquine trickle in late this week.

    Here is a good video by an MD in Idaho that explains the various tests (eg. RT-PCR, Antibody (IgM and IgG) and there uses. He also highlights the limitations of the PCR test.

    He notes that so far 5% if the tested population has antibodies and about 50% never show any symptoms.

    Can't figure out how to embed videos.

    Total Commie.
    But to answer the question... I would say yes. The Commie Cardinals chose one of their own. The good news is that these things ebb and flow over time. Most of that generation of true Commie Cardinals, the "liberation theology" crowd, will soon age out of the voting for the next Pope, whenever that may be. The younger generation will be somewhat more conservative and the generation after that even more so. Hopefully, the next Pope will be a good one, but I'll be happy with simply "not a Commie".



    "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
