Shocker that a hospital rep said that people need to continue to come to the ER.

I think the point of it all is that hospitalizations have increased yet capacity is still fine. I can give you an anecdotal story of my colleague in a busy ER last week for nothing related to Covid-19. Put her in the hospital for 3 days. But no one cares, and it's just one ER in the entire state.

I’m not sure I follow. She was admitted for 3 days for what? Is she okay? What state has one ER?

New channels like Comedy Central, MTV, and Paramount Network. Oh, and Google wants all your money.

Well I guess the In-laws, wife and I can finally begin Yellowstone? I hear that show is pretty good. Comedy Central I don't really care about anymore. MTV hasn't been a music channel in years. Nothing but junk on there.

Now if Google can just release the Pixel 4a.

0.26 mortality rate. I know of three people who have recovered from it. One of them is 92 years old.That said it is a serious disease that can straight mess you up but it's not the black death part 2. Respect it but also don't be afraid to live. A million people die every year from malaria. People still go outside with mosquitoes.

Nevermind. It's not a huge deal. You were talking about walking into a Nashville ER with no one around, and I can give you a story about a Memphis ER with it being very busy. My point is just because Knoxville or one Nashville ER is not busy doesn't mean that's the case in other locations. The capacities are fine, but the numbers have risen.

(I am trying to tell myself to stay out of these discussions).

Hospital ICU capacity, actual reports from the leaders in the healthcare systems and percentage of positive test results are not very debatable. Neither are deaths but those will lag. The problem Is real in Phoenix and Houston at this point. South FL and Austin are concerning. Positive Tests are double digit all the way to low 20s. By contrast, areas that were seeded earlier and took aggressive actions are low. As of two days ago Chicago was under 3%. NYC is low. Positive rates need to be single digit. Don’t see how anyone could call it a sham.

I’ll defer to post 148,115 in regards to hospital capacity. I also remember when it was being reported that a lot of hospitals were at capacity yet in talking with frontline workers, nurses and other hospital staff they were being sent home because they were empty. We’ve been deceived enough and I’m leery of the doom and gloom reports on Covid-19. Again, not saying the virus isn’t real just the timing of it and the severity being reported leaves me scratching my head.

I actually agree with your premise. But you might want another example than malaria. CDC says on average 5 people in U.S. die from it, and most are from overseas travel.

Hulu+Live TV looks like it has all the channels I watch on YTTV, but there isn't unlimited DVR.

Depends on how much TV you want to DVR. Honestly, I barely watch live TV. Currently watching Castle season 1 because my wife loves it and wants to catch me up to Season 5 where she is at. Me, I just want to watch my Vols.

Still, I expected this to happen especially after the last price increase in April last year. Only a matter of time before I leave YouTube TV as well.

I've seen advertising for something called Block TV that streams 3000 plus channels and all pay per view channels included for 35.95 a month. I don't know if it is any good but it seems amazing.
