My husband was starting to resemble sasquatch so I took clippers and buzzed down his hair. 2 on the sides and 3 on top and so he has to live like a military recruit for a few weeks. He was super happy about it.

My 4-year-old has a bit of a hipster haircut and I don't want to ruin it but he is getting super shaggy.
 
Speechless, these people who refuse to believe in science and behave accordingly are so very dangerous. No balls? No brains for you and your ilk you fool.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A Pittsburgh area pastor says he plans to organize an outdoor “Woodstock”-like Easter service to protest the stay-at-home orders to prevent coronavirus.

Conservative Christian pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth made the announcement on social media Tuesday.

“I’m gonna announce it. We’re gonna hold an outdoor Easter blowout service. Not online. A national gathering. You come from all over, like Woodstock. And we’re gonna gather and lift up Jesus Christ,” Shuttlesworth says.


His announcement comes following the arrests of several pastors in the U.S. for violating the stay-at-home orders.

Shuttlesworth is a televangelist who co-founded Revival Today TV, and is based in Washington County.

This isn’t the first time Shuttlesworth has made headlines.

Earlier this month he called out European churches that are taking measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.


“Shame on every European full gospel church, bunch of sissies, that shut down during this thing,” Shuttlesworth said. “If you’re putting out pamphlets and telling everybody to use Purell before they come into the sanctuary and don’t greet anyone, you should just turn in your ministry credentials and burn your church down — turn it into a casino or something,” he said on social media. “You’re a loser. Bunch of pansies. No balls. Got neutered somewhere along the line and don’t even realize it.”


The pastor also claims that coronavirus prevention is the work of the devil.

“Let me tell you if the devil doesn’t want there to be mass gatherings — it’s time to hold mass gatherings. If I lived in Italy I would call an open-air crusade to pray for the sick. If you have to go to jail, go to jail.”

Here's hoping if this "service" takes place, the National Guard corrals all the attendees and quarantines them all together in a warehouse for at least 14 days, and if any of them get sick, well God can certainly take care of them while they are quarantined. Can't spare any medical professionals on them who will be up to their asses in alligators by Easter..
 
Today’s covid19 press conference focused on the dangers of drug cartels.
 
Idiot governor of FL issued a stay at home order that does not include religious services. Trump got all flustered at the press conference when asked about that.

Trump refuses to criticize the guy. Must be major sucking up going on there.

Grateful I don't have that fool for a governor.
 
The flu supposedly kills 400 people a day in the US.

A coronavirus that is only fully broken out in like 3 cities now is killing 1000 per day.

I DNT SEE HOW IS DIFFDRENT DURRR
 
I believe Trump was joking around at the task force briefing yesterday about the Dr. Fauci security issue-haha, lol. In those dark corners of the web those who idolize Trump call Dr. Fauci deep state. And whatever else they call him, I don't care to know.

Trump has been bad enough for me, has made me feel like I no longer recognize my country. But the death threats to this doctor, that's it for me. The official day that this country became the most pathetic shell of it's former self. Idolatry is off the charts dangerous. And that's exactly what if is that produces these deranged people, idolatry. Why they idolize a narcissistic clown who doesn't give a damn about them is beyond my comprehension.
 
It’s totally nonsensical because Fauci has actually been very measured and polite in his commentary about Trump. It’s not like he’s trashing him behind his back.

I read elsewhere that at least one person on Fox criticized Fauci for contradicting what Trump says. I think it was Lou Dobbs.. These fanatics don't like anyone who doesn't think Trump is correct about everything. And they watch lots of Fox News.

The way I look at it is-they realize that the economy is how Trump will get re-elected, and the longer Fauci keeps saying things have to shut down, the worse it is for Trump. Plus when Trump said things would be open again by Easter, then changed that, they blame FaucI for that. There has to be someone to blame, because Trump can do no wrong . I think they believe that Trump should be able to open the country again (if people die well so be it, I guess they are sure they won't) and FaucI is part of a deep state conspiracy to prevent that. And to sink Trump. I've read online comments calling Fauci deep state.
 
Trump is a prophet to the GOP.

The dude is ramping up for another golf weekend too. The GOP found their perfect leader. Complete ignorance on every topic. No desire to learn anything. Believes being poor is a character flaw, not something that can just happen or circumstantial. And greed above all else.

While Trump is an idiot, I don't really think he's as incompetent as everyone makes him out to be. It would not shock me one bit that it's part of his "reality act". I think he's a very good criminal, who due to his enormous ego and narcissism comes across as a bumbling moron. He cannot focus on anything besides himself.

He just doesn't care, and the GOP absolutely latched on to that. Free ride to do whatever they want. And now hundreds of thousands of people will die.

Yeah Dobbs said Fauci was wrong and Trump was right regarding the effectiveness of malaria drugs in fighting Covid-19 (which of course has not yet been proven correct), and some of the Trump base just runs with info like that.

It astounds me that there are so many folks who can't think for themselves and will choose to ignore obvious scientific/medical evidence presented by experienced professionals.
 
there is just a lot of bad reporting, that is typical of the times we are now in

everyone seems to have an objective in what they put out.

what I have been trying to to is compare apples to apples,

apples to oranges is not good, but better than a lot of the apples to unicorns that get put out there

here are some links that can shed light on death rates per population, some are sort-able
( I can not vouch for any of these links, but I believe they are useful.)
If anyone has other links they believer check out, please post them.

count updates at midnight GMT

county by county tracker USA

covid testing

fatality rate
you can use this one to apply different country death rates to others with adjustments for country populations.

different countries have tested different percentages of populations

Italy, South Korea, USA, numbers seem more reliable, than many countries that seem to be not checking or perhaps not reporting all numbers.
 
The American president, ladies and gentlemen.

U.S.-based company 3M said Friday that it has been asked by the Trump administration not to supply N95 respirators to Canada amid the coronavirus pandemic.

U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered Minnesota-based company to produce and sell as many medical-grade masks as the Federal Emergency Management Agency says it needs. He invoked the Defence Production Act in order to speed up the distribution of masks.

The Administration also requested that 3M cease exporting respirators that we currently manufacture in the United States to the Canadian and Latin American markets,” a statement from the company read.

The company said the move raised “humanitarian” concerns for them.

“There are, however, significant humanitarian implications of ceasing respirator supplies to healthcare workers in Canada and Latin America, where we are a critical supplier of respirators,” the statement added.

The statement also warned that limiting supply to other countries could lead to them “retaliating” with similar measures.


“If that were to occur, the net number of respirators being made available to the United States would actually decrease. That is the opposite of what we and the Administration, on behalf of the American people, both seek,” the company said.

What a way to behave in a global pandemic. With this, the US seems interested in becoming about as good of a global citizen as China.

So now you'll see tit-for-tat around the world to limit what Americans will have access to.
 
Read a good summary of what needs/should happen, broken up by phases

Phase One: This is what we're in right now. The infection is spreading. People need to practice extreme social distancing, limit trips outdoors, etc etc. Allow the healthcare system to function without overwhelming it. Mass Testing, Tracing, and of course supplies are kept fresh and incoming. If these aren't followed then it prolongs the shutdown.

Phase Two: Once infections/cases start to level off and drop, some states where it's under control can start to open business back up. People who have built up immunity can help on the front lines. Some aspects of life is still shut down to protect the vulnerable. Phase Two States/Cities can return to Phase One if neighboring places start to see a rise in infections, or if the opened cities start to see a surge.

Phase Three: A vaccine is available and produced to the masses. Life starts to return back to "normal" as communities open back up, people are able to move freely. Theraputics have been created to help treat the virus much like the cold/flu. Herd Immunity has been established.

Phase Four: Talks about lessons learned. Society able to progress from those lessons....etc etc

Of course this all makes sense in a normal, just world. Unfortunately we have Jared and Trump.

Until we get the testing/tracing fully ramp'd up, I don't see how we ever get out of Phase One
 
Uhoh, Dr. Fauci was excluded from the task force briefing in a last minute decision, according to CNN. Punishment for saying on CNN that he didn't understand why we didn't have a national stay at home order? I don't understand that either.

Fauci will be fired and we will all be screwed.
