This is why all this junk about "The US now has the most cases in the world!!!" In the news is misleading at best, and pure sensationalism at worst. Maybe not fake news (it is factual), but definitely misleading in intent. When put in a per capita perspective, the US is doing very well. But the media is going to keep pushing the total number stat to terrify people and try to convince us that we are the worst.
Interesting numbers. I never would have guessed Switzerland would be atop the leader board for this. These numbers out of China just don't feel right. I have a hard time taking them at face value.
Those numbers are from 3 days ago though. Currently we're above 86,000 confirmed cases making it ~260 infected per million.
I saw that. Most Connecticut thing ever lol.
Rich, entitled assholes actually spawn off the coast here.
I saw that documentary too!
Ok. Everyone else has increased as well. What's your point?
The relief bill was set to pass easily today with a voice vote, but a single representative is now holding up the entire process and forcing a roll call vote. Now every Rep has to come back which risks more exposure and delays the bill further.
I've got a good friend that moved up there. He works for the state where they approve construction sites, and restaurant codes, etc. The stories he tells me about the locals is insane. I mean it. Most people on this board probably wouldn't believe it. Let's just say they have more cents than sense in that region.
More up to date info
Had a friend that worked at a yacht club. The **** they pull is insane. Drunk driving and boating was the norm
Where did these numbers come from? I'm looking at the WHO daily tracker and it shows as of yesterday 26 March (the latest info available) that Spain has 47,000 cases (not 56,000), Switzerland has 9,700 (not 11,500), Germany has 36,000 (not 40,500), Some others are off as well.
This is from Johns Hopkins
I remember he told be a story about how these folks were building a new house on a lake. So... obviously it's a construction site. Well the neighbors didn't like the view when they drove their boat by. So they paid millions of dollars to hire an artist to make it better. This artist puts up a huge drape across the trees on the coastline. He paints it up so it looks like the regular forest and blends in with the surroundings and hides the construction. Of course once the house was finished the artists work is just torn down and destroyed. I mean... I guess it's good work for the artist.
And that's one of the playing nice stories. He had so many others about petty neighbor feuds where one of the guys did a secret takeover of the others company in stock just to force the other one out.
One guy had a neighbor move in, well he didn't want the neighbor and could sometimes hear them through the woods. They went back and forth and back and forth because the new guy had built his dream home to retire in. Eventually the new home gets finished. So the disgruntled neighbor finally goes over and offers 20million dollars for something like a 5million dollar home. Basically an offer that the new neighbor couldn't refuse. The guy says fine, sells the home. And then the new owner bulldozes it down to the ground and keeps the lot.
These are just some I can remember off the top of my head. It's just a different world up there.
When petty people have money man I swear
