Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

At least Dade is not fucking around anymore.  

   Boat ramps in Broward are about to be a shit show.  Well even more of shit show.

I posted yesterday that it was nice and a lot of boats out on the ICW.  Which should be absolutely fine for Social Distancing.  (not like the raft ups at the Sandbar) I bet there are more than a few folks that were planning on getting some time off shore that are screwed.

Unsurprisingly, complete idiots ruin it for everyone else.

One interesting side note from the testing thus far that should open people'e eyes (should but it won't) is how fucking sick everything else that is running around out there makes us.

Given the the numbers let's just say ~12-13% of people have tested positive.  And we also know that generally speaking in many locales a person has had to or still has to clear a pretty high bar in terms of exposure, symptoms (significant fever, blah blah blah) . Yet close to 90% of people who present with that criteria have something else.  Hell back that down to 70% and it's still eye opening to see the effect of cold and flu season.

I am gonna suck my own dick here, but I have called it the whole way through:

5 million dead in the US before it's done.

90% over 60.

Bet me.

Sorry, man.  I really don't want to bet on the death count.  It's just not right.

Rumor mill says TN is going to go into a mandatory shut down tonight at midnight. We’ll see if it happens as the governor said yesterday there would be no mandatory closures. Everything would have been so much simpler if we would have just gone into a federally mandated lockdown a week ago. We would be half way through with an end in sight. Instead this shit just drags on and on with no end game.

We need a national shelter in place policy starting today.  Every day delayed carries exponentially worse outcomes.  If we had started it a week ago, the next 1-2 months would appear placid by comparison.

Can you guys do the rest of us a favor and be clear about you mean when you demand a federal lockdown? I’m trying to understand what further steps you demand beyond every school, restaurant, bar, sports arena, mall and the like all being shut down, while 90+% of the population is unwilling or unable to congregate with more than immediate family members,  will meet your standards. You keep repeating this shit every fucking day, so walk it out for us. What else needs to happen?

Also, preemptive caveat, if you’re begging for a full scale calling up of the military, national guard, and state and local police services to swing into high gear on martial law, then just fuck your own faces and ignore the request for an explanation to your regular shrieking. One of you committed fraud to get an early prescription for a possible COVID treatment after self-diagnosing in rural Oregon and one of you has been hiding under a bed for over a month already. I’m interested in what the next steps are that you require.

Wife just got done with a video chat with her friend in the Netherlands, whose husband is a pharmacist in one of their regional hospitals. She's understandably freaking out because he's working overtime in a facility that usually doesn't handle anything serious enough to require long term care, but now they have six floors reserved exclusively for Covid-19, and they have been told to expect that anyone going into ICU is not coming out alive in less than a month.

Even factoring in the hysterics of a worried Dutch housewife, still sounds pretty damned grim.

Maybe just convenience, grocery, Home repair and pharmacy open for a couple weeks

While I agree with the sentiment you really had to ask them???

CTJ - Cut social contacts by 80%.  Stay at home and reserve going out to getting food/groceries, fuel, pharmacy.  It doesn't have to require military action.  But it all starts from the top with effective communication and a coordinated plan.  Not every man for himself.

and dude, lay off with the other bs.  I acted weeks ago before chq was an actual conversation, and pursued it with a legitimate rx from my doc driven by deep concern and being informed.  Remind me what your attitude was here the first half of March?  Should I go dumpster dive to remind you?  gtfo.  My elderly parents received it from an online pharmacy in Mexico - without a prescription - because I gave them information a month ago.  The only regret I have is posting about it here.

We need to be on a two week lock down, today. Wuhan / Italy style 

Two weeks does very little. Needs to either be a scorched earth 4-5 week mandatory lockdown or nothing at all. 
 

A two week lockdown does not “flatten the curve” enough to make much of a difference for hospitals. Especially considering ventilator/recovery/incubation time. What a two week quarantine does do is prolong this whole ordeal even longer

 

We fucked this up so bad, im almost in favor of going full UK and herd immunity-ing this bitch. Its almost to that point anyway, especially considering we havent even fully locked down 1/3 of the population yet. 
 

If we are going to lock down, fucking make it 4 weeks for starters, and end this motherfucker pronto. We are in no-mans land at this point

Holy ya what some horrible luck for those that have been planning to sell all winter... good luck

Actually may be a bit of a blessing in disguise. I'm still waiting for some subs to do some work shut down by the coronavirus, so this may buy some time or get me to expand my skill set (masonry pointing/mortar matching, and bullnose brick step replacement).

I've got lots of real estate contacts, they say this hasn't hurt them yet, but if mandatory quarantines get rolled out it will stop sales pretty much dead in their tracks.

Interest rates are gonnna help..  But I don't envy  the cleanup/sanitation after an open house.

Yes!

When the Dr (Fauci) says that it will look like you are over-reacting and that is how you know you are doing it correctly (to flatten the curve) then that is what it means in the present. As he said in the presser (No CR), we are weeks away from knowing if this was successful. He doesn't have a crystal ball, but he is the smartest man in the room and I am following his suggestions. He has had to walk a tightrope for no less than six presidents (again no CR) and that isn't easy. If a portion of the population refuses to listen to the doctor and puts everyone at risk, then it's going to get difficult.

Is this like all those legitimate opioid prescriptions doctors handed out for years? Doesn’t your unnecessary prescription mean someone who may need it, doesn’t get it?

I had to go to Lowe’s today. My damn gas cooktop died last night. I have to wait 15 days to get the new one delivered. Surprisingly they still offered install. I passed.

I'm pleading with my house to have no issues for the rest of the year.  We already need to rip out the faux wood and underneath linoleum in the front of our house sooner than later.
