Not as wacky but one of the speakers seems to have lied about working for the surgeon general. I get the sense most of them are grifters.
Wasn’t attacking you but you make a good point how I could be more sensitive to other people’s real world issues instead of only focusing on my own
Here's another number, 390. That's the number of UGA students, faculty and staff who have tested positive for Corona, 3rd most in America.

How are you feeling @BayAreaDawg and @Mia_Dade06 ? Been checking back on the thread for updates. Hopefully both of you are back to 100%, or at least close to it!
And the beat goes on in Mississippi new record for my 6 county area for daily cases
From The Sun Herald:
South Mississippi registered its largest single-day report for new cases of COVID-19 at 349 with George County and Jackson County each reporting over 120 positive results, according to the state health department.
George County had 256 total cases after Tuesday’s numbers were released, reported 122 new cases on Wednesday to bring its total to 378.
A week after Jackson County reported 180 new cases, the county announced another large caseload of 134 to push the county’s total to 1,772.
The previous single-day high for new cases in South Mississippi was 253 on July 22.
Jackson County also had the only death reported in the state’s southernmost six counties on Wednesday, bringing the total to 30 for the year. Fourteen of the county’s deaths have been reported in July.
As a whole, Mississippi reported 1,505 new cases and 20 deaths on Wednesday.
The number of patients hospitalized with confirmed cases of the coronavirus climbed to a new high of 982 in Wednesday’s numbers. There were another 229 with suspected cases who are hospitalized.
The number of patients in intensive care jumped by 10 to 306 and patients on ventilators hit a new high mark of 178 — an increase of 74 over the last three weeks.
There have been 55,804 confirmed cases and 1,563 deaths from COVID-19 in Mississippi.
Interesting chart! A lot of Americans just don't get this. The flu season follows this predictable pattern based on latitude and hemisphere. If you travel to Costa Rica (for instance), most Americans will be baffled that they call summer, winter and winter, summer. But, it rains every day in summer and it is cooler. It is dry in winter and hotter. It is fascinating that they have their flu season in summer, not winter. That chart certainly makes it look like CV will follow the same pattern as the flu. Obviously, this chart predicts that S. Africa is likely to become the next CV desperation spot. You remember how scary it looked last winter for NY and Europe? I suspect we will need to start sending supplies and teams to help the S. Africans. Argentina is locked up tighter than a drum. The police will stop you on the street and ask you what you are doing, and their cases are still rising. You aren't allowed to even leave your hotel there (unless a necessary trip to the grocery store or pharmacy).
Thx for sharing, and as I've said too many times here, imho, vitamin D level in the "herd" is the only logical answer for these phenomena!
😄 You're right. Sort of, but you got it backwards. Nov-May there is very little rain. That's referred to as "summer". June-Oct there is more rain and is called "winter".
You are correct on everything, amigo, except one important detail: Costa Rica is in the northern hemisphere. Go back and read my post. Dec-Mar is winter in the northern hemisphere. They call it summer, as both of us said.
You are correct. TECHNICALLY we have the same seaons as you. But, as I said, it is "referred to" differently. BTW As far as temps, our months of Jan and Feb are the coolest and there is no rain. Not arguing just pointing out details. I've lived here almost 10 years.
I think we are saying the same thing, pocoyo. They refer to winter as summer and summer as winter. I've spent a lot of time there, too. I hadn't studied the temps in winter, but that is interesting. Thx for pointing it out. If that's the case, then flu season occurs in the warmer and wetter months (more heat and humidity).
I am almost sure I remember the papers, in May , concerned that the "approaching flu season" would complicate Covid. Also, I would agree that wet and humid would be worse than cool and dry.
It's hard to believe someone would DV your post, but I suspect I know who did it. I think DV'er went to Yale or maybe dreams of going there after he graduates from Florida Atlantic University.
The chart regarding the number of businesses that will close forever is also extremely important to note. Those are people's livelihoods and vital sources of income for themselves and their families.
Yes, that's correct. Cold and flu season in summer. You must have been gone from the US for a long time because I've had this conversation with a bunch of Ticos through the years and they all respond exactly like you did😎--when you tell them their summer is really winter they look at you like you are crazy and point out that summer is summer and winter is winter!!
Haven't DVed any posts in the thread. I see I'm always on your mind though.
