Coronavirus COVID-19

[AZGrizFan]

Looking at the graphs, the US might be on just over the peak, if number continue to be consistent. If they can orchestrate a good testing and tracing program after the numbers get down to a certain point, they could open things up.

4/6 - 1259 deaths
4/7 - 1973
4/8 - 1943
4/9 - 1901
4/10 - 2035
4/11 - 1830
4/12 - 1528
4/13 - 1535

So much for being over the hump, 2500+ deaths yesterday. What's an acceptable number of death per day that the economy saviors need to take away shelter in home?

yeah, because a couple states went and backdated deaths to MARCH 11th as "probable" COVID deaths....gotta get those numbers pumped up!

This whole thing has become a giant "follow the money" exercise....

BTW, something is not right with this IRS thing. 89Jr got a deposit into his account. One, I don't think he qualifies and two, he's never done direct deposit with the IRS. How would they get his account info?

could be an error by the financial institution. check on it...and don't let him spend it before you do!

It's simple to a simpleton. Quantifying the negative impacts of shelter-in-place so that you can rationally compare them to the positives is complicated but necessary.

At some point the lives saved by shelter-in-place will be outweighed by the lives lost and damaged.

Are you talking about all of the lives saved by less auto accidents, murders, school shootings, etc?

Using that logic, perhaps we should just lock down the country permanently?

Yup. IF it actually is legit, it could be because I haven't filed my taxes yet and when I claim him he'll lose it.

try filing with and without him and see which total works out better.

It’s up to the consumer to read between the lines and be skeptical of everything.

You're seen the folks in our country, right?

This statement ironically helps inform why social distancing rules need to be ordered.

Just found out that the nursing home in my small town just got wiped out. Nine dead so far.

MILFORD, Del.- The healthcare provider operating a long-term care facility in Milford said on Tuesday several residents of the building have died in connection to COVID-19, a development that comes as state health officials craft new guidance and requirements aimed at reducing the spread of coronavirus at facilities like nursing homes.

Dr. Richard Feifer, the chief medical officer for Genesis HealthCare, said in a statement that a total of 52 residents and 13 staff members at the Milford Center have tested positive or are presumed positive for COVID-19.

has he ever had to pay the feds?

[Ibanez]

Anybody else have their stimulus check hit their bank account today?

Nope.


Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the bank account the IRS has for me has been closed. I didn't catch it until after I filed my taxes. I ended up getting a check from the bank saying the amount was deposited into a closed account. Though...i'm not sure why they wouldn't have called and asked if I wanted to transfer it to another account.

Why is that ironic Alanis?

No. He's only filed the last couple years and he always got a refund check (paper).

I'm not surprised Big Brother has that info.

If he's the Jr to your Sr, maybe it got messed up. My brother and dad had each others loans and credit cards on each others credit reports.

He's not. My name is in his name though... completely unplanned.

You mean, you named your son Branson and it unintentionally has your name, Anson? Something like that?

Why is that ironic Alanis?

Agreed. We should just shelter in place for the rest of our lives.

So my assessment of you being Alanis was spot on.

Your Alanis reference is cute.

Wait?

Stickybunz has a kid named Markesha?

It'd be quite incredible if yours or his name is actually Anson.


Or Potsie.

It's a family name, ass.

And the government can print monopoly money to pay us a stipend that we can use to purchase imaginary food.

That would be, but alas.

I thought so too. It's also accurate as nothing in the post was ironic.

What would an acceptable deaths per day range be, for the government to open the country back up. It appeared we had reached a peak, and then a new daily high yesterday of 2500+ deaths in 1 day.

I don't know. How many lives are you willing to lose to suicide, overdose, malnutrition, economic ruin, etc.?

At some point, lives lost to those and similar causes will outnumber the lives saved by shelter-in-place. I'm an advocate for including those lives in the models rather than sticking my head in the sand and pretending it won't happen and that every life saved from the coronavirus is a net +1 because it should be obvious to anyone with a functioning brainstem that it isn't.

And Jelly, I don't have a lot of faith in Trump or his experts handling those calculations properly so I'm betting on the better governors to lead the way on this.
