Coronovirus IV

[drillsgt]

And lemon shake-ups! And roasted corn on the cob!

On the weekends here in Greenfield at the 4H grounds we've had three of those fair food trailers set up.

Now I'm thinking big soft pretzel with cheese to dip it in.

Pittsburgh hospital officials say coronavirus appears less potent than before

This mirrors some of the reports from doctors in Italy that we've seen coming out of the last week or so.

Just me being picky, but isn't just some hospital in Pittsburgh. This is the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center with is a major, academic, world-renowned institution.

So if we DO see an increase in corona infections in the "peaceful" protestor crowd are there going to be
conspiracy theories in the news that the .gov were spreading it in the tear gas canisters?

They've already started that narrative.

It seems we understand more about the coronavirus: it is clearly spread by religious practices and social gatherings, but kept at bay by protests

What other reason could there be to:
- ban in-person religious services until June 15
- permit social gatherings up to 12 people
- permit protests up to 100 people

This is total crap and makes my blood boil. Get fined for opening my buisness because of virus but riot and get teargased and feel sympathy for you because you could get the virus? Nope no care here.

MI Supreme Court sides with 77year old barber against Gov Whitmer.

She removed his license and fined him for daring to open up against her diktat.

My Saturday is actually Saturday again. Not much to report this week, they took me off working the cool thermal imagery/temperature taker thingee (split screen with a camera and thermal, set for color ranges dark blue to red) used to screen incoming employees. I suspect it's because I was having too much fun.

On Monday and last night IMPD was set up on the west side of the bridges over White River for the curfew. I was going west after 2000 so I didn't have to show my "I work in a hospital" ID.

One night in Haughville some old fat dude was flashing cars as they went by. Keep your shirt on, nobody wants to see that!

Same night a car was on it's side on Gasoline Alley. Guy was trying to rock it back to the wheels. He wouldn't listen to my advice (included: YOU"V BEEN IN A CAR WRECK, YOU NEED TO GET CHECKED OUT, and YOU WILL DIE IF THAT CAR FALLS ON YOU!!) I called 911, convinced the dispatcher that he would probably be squished under the car when help arrived.

Looks like Michigan only now started reporting historical probable cases, so the total cases in the US jumped up a bit.

Great..... Michigan is a mess. I have a friend that works for the health department in Jackson, the testing and reporting is a cluster. The numbers are bad since they are counting individual test numbers rather than people. They went through their nursing homes and did two tests of each resident (oral and nasal) and if they were positive, that was 2 positives credited to the county numbers and if negative, two negatives. The presumptive positives can include "flu like symptoms after March 1, 2020".

Regarding Testing, yesterday was an all-time high with 550,915 tests performed. The positives were only 28,615 (5.2%) short of the high of 35,245 positive (14.6%) on 4/24/2020 No matter how much testing is performed, the positives stay pretty steady: https://twnwi.com/TestingStats.php

Cancel the races, cancel the fair, cancel the fireworks, cancel everything! I expect to see all the protesters showing up in hospitals with COVID-19 soon, or perhaps even keeling over dead… Where is the outrage and concern for the safety of the protesters?

That's interesting about Michigan. The more testing, the better IMHO.

If you guys haven't experienced Covid-19 yet, they are giving it away for free now.

I think they forgot a word.

[actaeon277]

Drop a word, and the entire meaning changes.


Maybe they should teach that to people that work with words.

This is awesome. Use their own nonsense words against them.
