Not much. When the dust settles this place will come out on top. It's perfect for the new Zoom world, where parents can get their kids educated well.Quote:

Went for a 3.5 hour mtn bike ride today. It was windy but mild. Once we got away from the trailhead we saw very few people. Didn't think about this shit for most of the whole time. It was heaven.
Is there anyway to short housing in shittsville Connecticut?Quote:

It is obvious that you are living in a much different world than the rest of us. You seem stressed, and focussed on negative outcomes. You aren't able to see things outside your news bubble. I wish you the bestQuote:

What do you think would be the discussion if say instead of killing people it made them impotent? That would certainly flip the script.

"To live and die in Dixie – Covid-19 is spreading to America’s South with unnerving speed"
"According to Mr Wagner, four southern states (Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee and Georgia) had faster growth rates during the first 36 days after their first confirmed cases than Spain or Italy."
"The second reason for the South’s vulnerability is demography. The region contains disproportionate numbers of old, black, Hispanic, uninsured, unhealthy and (a sometimes forgotten group) incarcerated Americans. That is an almost complete litany of susceptibilities to covid-19. In Florida’s Sumter county, home to one of the largest residential complexes for the old (and the fastest-growing metropolitan area in America), the median age is 67, care homes are suffering exponential growth in cases and the county’s death rate from covid-19 is a sky-high 10%. Florida’s governor is mobilising the national guard to boost coronavirus virus testing in care homes. His state is not unique. One in six deaths in Louisiana are in care homes."

Fortunately, I am waaayyyy south, the skies are blue, and the condors are out in force.

Ya, makes no sense to me either. Here is the quote from Dr. Tegnell, Sweden's chief epidemiologist:Quote:

But he also says the media claiming Sweden was just letting the virus rip was overblown, and they are more or less locked down like the rest of us:
"I think it has been overstated how unique [Sweden's] approach is. As in many other countries, we aim to flatten the curve, slowing down the spread as much as possible — otherwise the health-care system and society are at risk of collapse. What every country is trying to do is to keep people apart, using the measures we have and the traditions we have to implement those measures."
Sweden hasn't locked down as much as say Norway or Denmark did, but they have taken voluntary steps to slow the virus. So how can they think they are starting to reach herd immunity? Currently, there are
1,937 deaths in Sweden and 16,004 confirmed cases for the entire country. Stockholm population approximately 1 million. So you would need 600,000 (or so) infected to be at herd immunity?
Looks like Sweden withdrew the report saying the ratio of confirmed to infected is 1:999

Treatment may or may not be better by the time we do and the disease may or may not be more deadly.
Fortunately each passing day the consensus on the fatality rate gets revised downwards, the # of infected curves upwards as does the % of asymptomatic.
Locals are planing a ride this weekend. This posted on the town Political Smack Down FB group. I was thinking of asking if it was open to non citizen neighbors who are stuck inside too.Quote:

@ DB, OK but does that change the number who had died and if so, how?
Some nobody wrote this.
Anyone who is not appalled by that is asleep or an idiot.Quote:
