Guys...lets not go there. Please.
Sorry @DataDawg didn' t know how to take you off. @skidmarks . Take a walk or something
I hate sounding preachy but this virus has not surprised God, it's in his plans and he never lets anything happen that is not in his plan and for our good. It may seem very dark now but this is temporary and we will come out of this and rebuild stronger and better than ever.
Still kinda quiet here in the Upstate. Just found out we are out of school for all of April, so I filmed my first lessons for my classes to post, teaching concepts from our next units. My 16 and 17 year old are not giddy about this, but I have repurposed my "this will seem like a short time looking back on it" speech, to be used a lot. Praying that my family and loved ones will miss this thing. Thankful that tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, and we are only a week away from fresh turkey nuggets...
Didn't realize the worlds science and medical community had it out for Trump.
take some personal responsibility
Never fails to amaze me how stu.pid a sizable percentage of our citizenry is.
Here's another tip for those same folks. Don't jab yourself in the eye with a sharp stick.
👆That goes for those **** people in AZ who drank fish tank cleaner and died .... CNN blames Trump ..... stupidity never subsides
A friend of mine put together some graphs of Covid-19 data from John Hopkins country by country and broke out the New York state data.
I was in Berlin when Germany played Italy in 2016. There were a million people at the Brandenburg Gate to watch on screens the city had set up. Ended up getting crazy in an Irish pub after Germany won on PKs
If people don't know what they tried to do... they should.
Still minimal impact in the Florida Panhandle (I think there are only 10 or so cases in the whole area). Almost all of the cases in Florida are in the South Florida area. A big problem we have in Florida is that tourists are still coming here. Lots of people left NY and California right before the lockdown. Friends of mine who live on Pensacola Beach (I live 5 minutes from P'Cola Beach) tell me they see people every day arriving with kids and tons of luggage staying at the beach rentals. I'm hoping that before the Governor declares a state-wide lockdown that he first mandate that all tourists go home. If this isn't your home, please leave. The beaches are all closed, so I don't know why anyone is visiting right now.
We are not in a shelter-in-place order, so the wife and I have been trying to get out of the house and walk, run, bike...while maintaining social distancing from others. Many local restaurants are still open for pick-up and delivery so we try to support them as much as possible. Still don't know anyone personally who has it.
@pgjackson even in shelter in place areas like where i am one can go running and biking all you want. Just no driving to state parks as this has created overcrowding at the parks meaning those of us who can run or bike to the state parks have a paradise to enjoy without crowds.
Here's a (fivethirtyeight is generally analytical, never sensational and from what i can tell not partisan all of which i love) look at the science of Covid19 testing and how its done.

Its a bit geeky, but very informational.
I live in the Destin area and work on Eglin AFB and I am seeing the same. We have had a few cases locally most people aren't coming into work for a few weeks. They did give out paper work today identifying 'essential' personnel so a lock down of some kind is coming soon.
