Hurricane season, Tornado season, C-19. Up here on the Frozen Tundra life is a bit simpler in a State consisting of only a couple hundred people! We just want Two days in a row over freezing! Come on Spring!

Well not sure what they are doing. They did report though with the 7K who have died in NYC, all but a few hundred victims had an underlying condition prior to entering the hospital. Unfortunately, I think that's a huge factor with this virus.

Our gov was talking about they monitor it by the double factor... How long it takes to double the number of cases and deaths in each state... We were around 2 - 3 days when it first started, but now are at 4 - 5 days to double the numbers...


Well, it's going to take longer to double thousands of cases/deaths when you are in middle of the crisis compared to doubling 3 or 4 cases like in the beginning...

I lived in the hot spot in Arkansas just out of college... They predicted another 'big one' back then over christmas break... I took my 68 formula S home to Chicago just in case...

Luckily it never happened...
 
Have not seen ours yet. But certainly should 'qualify' and our tax returns are direct deposit. Our bank never shows stuff that is pending, so could be there on hold. While I am working full time plus, and we did not 'need' it, we can certainly use it. And as long as they are doing it, I would not even consider not accepting. When the money monster is done taking a crap, he's gonna be hungry. We will be paying this back one way or another.

It is really a advance on you future tax deductions. Instead of say a 10K deduction, it will be 9 thousand and change. So it is just a loan....

I think most are focused on new cases per day. Which is a pretty good indicator except that it only considers people who get tested. And I think most tests still take a couple days, so there is a lag in reporting.

here's the thing, we're gonna find out in a few months, that probably 50% or more of these deaths, weren't specifically caused by the virus. My friend is the county coroner, hes been told by the state board of health that anyone that dies that also has a positive test, to rule it as the virus for cause of death. even if say they died of a heart attack, or liver failure, but test positive.

im watching the number of hospitalizations more than I am the total deaths or cases. I think that's a better indicator of how things are going and so far, the number of new hospitalizations has been dropping around the country. Cases are still going up but appear to be milder in nature, but I think this leads credence to the notion that this will follow other coronavirus's and mutate to a less deadly form to stay viable as the temps increase and people stay away from each other. I think this is all but gone by June, with a resurgence in Late September. just a gut feeling. I am no expert by any means so this is more a matter of opinion based on SARS and Swine Flu, both coronaviruses.

lol, my first two years of college, I hadn't declared a major, so I studied multiple different topics, almost went to geology but I didn't want to spend 18 months going around the world studying rocks. The New Madrid fault is fascinating to me so I'm for sure gonna remember this theory. It pops into my head anytime an earthquake is mentioned anymore.

My great uncle was a big geologist... People even came from Europe to take his classes...

However, he is so humble that we never knew how popular he was in the geology field until he wrote his memoir...
