They choose to engage. Let it spiral. This thread is serving the intended purpose.

 

I agree. If some want to disagree,  what's the big deal. I find it informative to see differences of opinion. I think it broadens my perspective on this topic. Just digesting groupthink all the time isn't really interesting.

That doesn’t bother me. It’s an off topic thread on an off-season weather board. LOL please learn to not take your “job” here so seriously. 

The only person who seems to take their “job” seriously is you. You fuucking revel in what you do and how you post. Look at how  much of a weekend you spent arguing. 
 

Seems like the mods here don’t take the job seriously as there is a life we all have beyond an off season off topic weather board

It's not the difference of opinion that's the main problem here, though...

that video doesn’t support your statement below 

 

this piece explains what is going on:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/opinion/coronavirus-testing-pneumonia.html

in fact, that is what happened to my dad who is 82 and tested positive for covid-19. he was not short of breath, but a chest x-ray showed fluid in his lungs, and his pulse oxygen was in the low 80s. they bridged him with oxygen for 3 days and he has fully recovered.

my link also makes a good case for buying a home pulse oximeter and establishing your own baseline so you can monitor yourself if you get sick.

 

Have been hoping to hear this.  Good news.

Heard about this on the radio this morning driving to work.  Thought I'd share it.

Wonder if today is the day LockdownLarry finally deploys those tests from South Korea he told us were so desperately needed to "save lives"?

yeah, was all over the local news this weekend. Hogan's team responded by saying most Marylanders don't even know who Cox is

Nice little experiment the last 7 weeks of socialism and the progressive agenda. Government controlling our lives. Our founders are rolling over in their graves 

hey man, nice to see you're alive and well. you're free to tell everyone to **** off and go do your own thing. no one has locked you in your home and took away your keys and ability to do anything.

This post should be printed out and brought to our elected leaders as proof that our education system has failed miserably.  It’s sad that people are this confused.

Can anyone direct me to a website that shows hospitalizations in VA on a daily basis. And why would VA count total # of positive tests as opposed to the # of patients who tested positive?

this is their page with information

https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/

and hospitalization information

https://www.vhha.com/communications/virginia-hospital-covid-19-data-dashboard/

I seem to recall Cox is the tea-party type who ran against Jamie Raskin for the House seat in 2016 (8th Cong. district, to fill VanHollen's seat when he moved into the Senate).  Raskin won in a landslide, not surprisingly.  I'm in Raskin's district, myself.

Sadly, many of our current elected leaders are proof that our education system...or at least their understanding of governance and the Constitution...has failed miserably!!

i dont agree with a threat of arrest over protesting. As long as they were protesting safely. Not sure a lawsuit is the answer though.

I show 4201 test came back, am I missing something?

No. you are correct. The numbers of tests had not updated on the website despite the rest of the numbers being updated.

Thanks for the correction.

"A sustained, 14-day decline in coronavirus hospitalizations and ICU admissions is needed before any stage of the recovery plan can begin."

 

Has this 14-day decline started?  Are we 3 days into the decline?

Hard to say. I don't think anyone from Hogan's administration has said the clock started. We had 3-days in a row of no new hospitalizations, but then 14 new were added.

Oh, I get that...I was only mentioning who Cox is, the name was familiar to me from that Congressional race in 2016.

Agree, if they were protesting *safely*, threat of arrest is overkill (as is a lawsuit over that).

Speaking of protesting...here's what bothers me about what we saw in Michigan the other day: While it's perfectly fine  to protest inside the capitol building...should folks really be allowed to bring guns in there like that? I don't get that...(one senator felt the need to wear a bulletproof vest)
