Lots of UV light in South Florida the last time I looked. The virus is running through that part of the state like a hot knife through butter.

Is that from it running through the state or all the people traveling there from other states?

You gotta look at the rate of increase. We've seen how quickly this spreads. Look at how quickly it's increasing in another one of the US' UV light hot spots (Louisiana)

The average temperature has been in the high 60’s to low 70’s which is still a little low to what they think may hinder its spread..... they don’t know if it is spreading more or being tested more

Don't give them a dime until they become good corporate citizens. Register in the US, hire US employees, and subject yourself to US labor laws. Otherwise, go ask the Grand Caymans for bailout money.

Had a cousin toe one on a drive and knocked a coke can out of my hand while I was drinking. Had the dimple marks pressed right into the aluminum.

If you are referring to Florida, not quite correct. In my county the temps have been high 80s and 90 more than a few times in recent weeks. This weekend we are supposed to get to the low 90s. My county has 37 confirmed cases at the moment. Orange County, the large county next door, has 110 cases.

Just based on weather of late, the notion of high temps completely shutting it down is not borne out. But can it slow it? Not enough data.

I might test that on one of my bad days. I almost never slice but man I've committed some crimes against physics with hooks on occasion.

It would take something mind bogglingly left to happen. The fairway is narrow and lined with trees, so you cannot start out slightly right and yank it or gently draw it. Rather, you'd have to hit it in such a manner that it went pretty straight for about 200 yards to the end of the tree line, then abruptly left at something like a 90 degree angle.

Oh, okay. And yes, it needs more data to know how much is community versus traceable to a specific exposure of the kind we all know about. I believe the first case in my County was someone coming home from a cruise.

That does sound pretty safe even from the likes of me. Having said that if there were to be a "most likely to hit LG's house" anybody that's played with me on one of "those" days would likely put my name in the hat.

These are companies avoiding us taxes yet want to benefit from the us taxpayers pocket. Require them to register for the next 10yrs as a condition for any bailout. They're getting it anyways might as well get something in return

I never said any of us saw this coming . That however doesn’t negate the fact that choosing to live in rural areas doesn’t have is advantages, Id give up being able to have my pizza delivered and live in the country vs being crammed in an urban setting right now . How many wouldn't if they are being honest ?

They just started delivering pizza out to my house. Still quicker to go get ourselves.

I think this is one thing that would be a consensus whichever political side you lean

We are getting one meal out a day (drive through of course) to do our part. Today was Arby's.
There is a small family owned Italian restaurant down the street that is selling make your own pizza packs. Thought it was a great idea. That's the Friday night plan.

Exactly my point, and he is using the same numbers to calculate the mortality numbers being used in the media, so what does that say about what the media is reporting?

I don't follow most of the media. I watch CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg to see market impacts, so the coverage I have seen may not be what you are referring to. The CDC estimates the flu statistics based on a much larger data pool over many years. They have also estimated statistics for coronavirus, along with NIH, albeit with a much smaller sample size generated over months. The coronavirus stats will be much clearer over time, but the CDC is using the data they have to provide their best estimate (as they do with the flu). I read the post you quoted as using one CDC data point to discredit another CDC data point. If the poster's intent was to refute some erroneous media report I am unaware of, then I can't speak to that.

Chinese Restaurant Hangs Banner ‘Celebrating the Epidemic in the U.S.’

Chinese state media confirmed on Wednesday the legitimacy of an image circulating online of a Shenyang, China, restaurant banner celebrating Chinese coronavirus deaths in the United States.

Chinese-Banner-Celebrating-Epidemic-US-Weibo-640x480.jpg


The Global Times, a state-run publication that has run conspiracy theories accusing the U.S. Army of artificially engineering the Wuhan virus and unleashing it as an attack on the Chinese state, identified the offending restaurant as “Mother Yang’s Porridge Restaurant” and claimed that police arrested the manager responsible for putting up a banner apparently wishing for the pandemic China allowed to occur to do as much damage in the United States and Japan as possible.

“Celebrating the epidemic in the U.S. and wishing coronavirus a nice trip to Japan,” a large red banner over the restaurant read, according to the Global Times’ translation. Other translations note that the Chinese characters also insult Japan as “little” and hope the virus spread “forever after that [arrival into Japan]”:

It's a consequence of the financial crisis.

The consensus on bailouts has, over time, moved from "government shouldn't bail out private companies" to "government should only bail out companies in industries that are structurally important to the economy."

The next logical move is "government should bail out any company in crisis situations not of their own making," and I'm sure it'll eventually move to a setup where the government perpetually offers assistance to any company who asks for it, in good times and bad.

Banks got bailed out, the automakers got bailed out, now airlines are getting bailed out. Of course the cruise lines are going to get something.
