on a light note anybody gonna blow that stimulus money on a new hound ,tracking gear,dog box?. life is just a little inconvenient right now for most of us ,but those that actually succumb to corona virus death,and to their familes it is all to real. if you had a field full of those who have died from it laying there before you it would probably change a lot of peoples perspectives on the seriousness of the situation at hand.my heart gos out to the people whose lives are ruined,but to those who are just inconvenienced (make the best of it)..we took the hounds out to run while we dug clams for supper today. trying to social distance for us houndsman is a no brainer .don't threaten us with a good time.

This new stimulus/unemployment bill is gonna hurt the workforce more than help..........until it runs out.
Gonna pay people $1,000 a week no matter how much they made or didn't make a week.
So low paying job workers will be looking to get fired or laid off and milk this out.
Hope I'm wrong,but I bet I'm not.Already talked to people that are asking to be laid off for full term with summer coming.

The # of Covid 19 cases is still rising but at a slower rate. That is the first step.

If you are put in the hospital and have to be put on a ventilator, will they ask you if you want a Ford or a Chevrolet?

Go to worldometer.com. They are tracking coronavirus cases and deaths for the world, by country, and by state/province.

Their timeline is GMT (Greenwich Meridian Time). I had to look that up. It's 4 hours different than Eastern Standard Time, so their midnight = 8:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

World: 3/27 = 596,366 Cases. 3/20 = 275,550 Cases. Divide the 3/27 number by the 3/20 number and you get 2.16. So world cases more than doubled in 1 week.

U.S.: 3/27 =104,126 Cases. 3/20 = 19,367 Cases. Divide the 3/27 number by the 3/20 number and you get 5.38. So the U.S. cases have more than quintupled in 1 week. Think about that: 538% of the previous week numbers.

We are now the epicenter of this virus, and it's going to get much worse.

All I can say is dismiss the bullsh*t and be as careful as you can be. This isn't going away anytime soon.

the percentage of deaths is what is bad. when it started they was saying 2% average .well I get more like around 4 1/2 % average. they take so long updating recovered cases . US is just under 2% but until they start showing recoveries climbing .where will those cases not recovered yet be at ?
I think states may be not reporting too.to make it look better? read about one in California. guy tested positive , got pneumonia and died. they said he did not die from virus so did not report as virus related.

Oh my goodness, I found that Worldmeter site and it looked to me like our new cases and death rates were starting to slow down. I wonder if they will level off now? Maybe we will reach that Apex shortly. I also saw where the CDC had finally approved the malaria drug for Covid 19 use. Maybe the death rate will seriously decline now.

Total # of deaths in USA is not good but percentage of deaths is very low and will get better now that they can start using the new drug. Total cases...142,793.... Total deaths...2,490... What is that percentage?

The "scientists" predicticting or forecasting what is going to happen with the Carona Virus are just like the "scientists" predicting or forecasting what the weather is going to be like.

Just look at the hurricane forecasters. They have all of those facts, figures, equipment, airplanes etc. And they have a past history of how hurricanes act. How do they do? How accurate are those "scientists"?

Maybe he is reading this Forum also. Trump said this evening that we should hit the "apex" on Easter, the 12th. We will have to see how he is at forecasting.

There are 52 cases in Tn, nobody has died and they have closed your workplace for 3 weeks. Now is that being cautious or overreacting?

170000 known cases in the US, 349000000 million Americans that have no immunity. That seems like a long haul

If you factor in the population of the US, then there are about 24 countries ahead of us. You can pick and choose which #'s you want to look at and come to different conclusions. If you take out New York and New Jersey we are at the bottom of the list. Just don't go to New York or New Jersey.
If you believe that the sky is falling then you can pick out #'s to support that theory. But if you think that we will get over this in a couple of months then you can pick out #'s to support that also. It is all a matter of perspective. Is the glass half full or half empty?
