MD, +788 cases, +33 confirmed deaths, +2 probable deaths, +161 new hospitalizations

well you made the argument that wxusaf is a scared guy and you just want to go to work. the reasonable follow up is if you haven't been working since this started. and which point, i would understand the need to get back to the office. but, if you have been working, then i'm not sure your reason makes any sense. wasnt trying to get into the personal weeds with you.

are you unable to work now?

lol i literally posted that last page.

gods, this isn't chicken pox. you cant be sure you can just ride it out at home. sigh

guessing school decision will be announced today

Ive seen it on facebook from some. one post yesterday went on about Government has us where they want us, under their full control. listing all the freedoms they may never get back. i couldn't roll my eyes hard enough

sigh. thats a damn shame.

really? on facebook?

CDC issued additional guidelines (Wednesday, I think) that now allows counts for probably cases and deaths to be counted towards the total. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/us-data/ Worldometer has already started including them, but as far as I could tell last night Johns Hopkins was not including them. WoM had 677K cases 34K deaths last night, JH had 670K and 33K deaths the other night when I looked, there was a good 2K difference between the two in death counts for Wednesday. This inconsistency between the two and what numbers they show vs what they don't, bothers the piss out of me.

oh thank you! ill have to see if i can pick them up from a local place in the new few weeks. are those annuals or perennials? my garden space is also our burn pit for brush and stuff, so i can only plant things in the space that die after the season. no long-term stuff there. that was the compromise with mr map lol

Okay

Ok. Perhaps I should be asking what about the VA numbers look wrong to you?

^ sorry that’s a huge screenshot

VA department of health. also, Maryland’s numbers show similar patterns. https://coronavirus.maryland.gov

Thanks. I trust that Hogan was talking with his advisors that know more on the topic than him, and if he was using that data, he was using it in conjunction with those advisors to decide how best to move forward and what to ask for. At least that would be my hope. But we won’t know for sure.

I agree it has to be gradual. I’m in no position to say when the best time to start that gradual opening is. Neither are you as far as I recall.

Wait, you’re legit questioning confirmed cases in Virginia? Why would those age numbers be wrong?

You know that for sure? Or you assume because Cuomo said he did out loud?

I’m not sure that’s is argument, it’s why I asked him. the fall worry is legit, but I agree it should not be what drives decisions to open partly, or fully. We can plan for that however.

No idea. I don’t work for Hogan to know what he was using to make his decisions. What Cuomo did isn’t any of my concern, I’m not a NY state resident.

So then why your argument?

Yup. We all knew it was coming Same, let’s hope none of us have to deal with that.

I’m glad you feel confident. Not everyone views things as you do, stats or not. A little empathy for some is okay

I mean 3 weeks ago MD was clearing not-yet graduated med students to help with patients for goodness sakes, obviously there was strain
