    In a pre-coronavirus world I would have been barreling though Arkansas right this instant. Not that I would have been touring any Bubba churches........as disappointed as I was to cancel a good road trip I can’t help but bring Dorothy to mind....there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home......Only God knows why a church is required to commune with Him.....or why He chose to bring such self centered idiots into the world......It is a genuine paradox.

    Still pimping HCQ;


    Trump just said "People should want to be helping people, not to make political points, it's very sad when they do that."


    I shit you not...I can't believe his tongue didn't come off the rollers when he said that.

    How shocking, someone getting fired for doing their job correctly.

    I think it might be early to start crowing about anything in Georgia yet. The incubation period is 5-14 days and hospitalizations follow 7-12 days after first developing symptoms. Georgia lifted the stay-at-home order 2 weeks ago, and 'new' hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the last 4 days. IIRC, Georgia might also be one of those states that doesn't list covid patients hospitalized in nursing homes

    besides that, they just got caught distorting their stats so I'd be skeptical about any numbers the state puts out

    Them and Florida have been accused or falsely reporting their numbers and both states are governed by trump suck ups. Why these people continue to follow trumps words are beyond me.

    Mom sent me the link...she lives in Fla and was a Trump supporter in 2016 mainly because she couldn't stand Hillary.

    Now, when I talk to her on the phone she never fails to mention what a mistake she made in voting for him.

    My coworker whose respiratory condition essentially closed down our office before SHSH became the norm was basically told what Maris said: "We're pretty sure you have COVID-19, but we're not going to test you because our treatment for you would be no different either way."

    I think we’re all more interested in Mrs. HCP’s test results.

    3.6% positive results from 980000 test in Oregon
    That percentage has been going down for the last month even though many more test have been performed.

    Check out the demographic & additions data....we are progressing nicely and yes as we open things up more there will be flair ups possibly, but you will notice its more detrimental to those over 65 with underlying conditions.

    We have indeed flatten the curve & increased hospital capacity and reduced deaths.

    Georgia health department is accused of 'manipulating' coronavirus data to show a downward trend in cases
    • Georgia's health department released a graph last week that showed infections declining in five of the state's hardest-hit counties from April 26 to May 9
    • Analysts were quick to point out that the dates on the chart were out of order
    • When put in chronological order the data showed that cases counts were holding steady rather than falling
    • The health department fixed the error after coming under fire on social media
    • Officials insisted that portrayal was not intended to be confusing or misleading
    • But critics say it could have been done deliberately to help justify Gov Brian Kemp's decision to reopen the state early while cases were still climbing

    Given that the incubation period is roughly five days, that result seems a little surprising.
