Louisiana now reporting 239 deaths, up from 185 deaths 24 hours ago. Total cases soaring by over a thousand more in the same timeframe.
Class 2 misdemeanor. Also charged for delaying officer because they didn’t want to go back to their car and go home. Glad to see NC enforcing stay at home in the bigger cities.

Good thing they dont patrol the local Lowes Home and Garden area.
Right, Lowe's - packed; Home Depot - packed; grocery stores of every kind - packed; convenient stores/gas stations - packed but yeah let's arrest 4 people praying. Ok
Lowe’s has good lawyers individuals prob don’t.

Probably the heavy pollen weighing down the virus and preventing airborne transmission lol. Like heavy dew point air. Think this has a thin fatty membrane that is fragile,succeptible to being comprised, punctures by the least little thing like hand washing.
Nearly 200 deaths today in Belgium. Wow! Mind you, this is a country with a population barely larger than the state of North Carolina...this is as bad/worse than Italy and Spain.....
My area.

They got the the greatest lawyer of all time, who intercedes on their behalf to the ultimate Judge, one with final say. Doubt their to concerned with their situation instead being focused on the most defensless.

Or because stay at home orders have been largely ignored and this crisis has been downplayed by some.

Georgia claims a surge in testing is coming.
www.ajc.com
AJC analysis shows testing in Georgia lags most other states
Gov. Brian Kemp on Tuesday said that Georgia now has new equipment and supplies that will allow university facilities and the state’s public health lab to significantly increase the number of coronavirus tests processed, a critical step in combating the pandemic.
We should all immerse ourselves in hand sanitizer, like Frank in 'It Always Sunny.'

The decision to not cancel Mardi Gras was sheer madness.
REPORT: Mardi Gras celebrations may have caused COVID-19 outbreak
With the disease being highly infectious, doctors believe Carnival season may to be the reason New Orleans is the epicenter of the outbreak in the state.

Charlotte Mecklenburg PD need to step it up, there are people blasting music and sticking their heads inside vehicles traveling to the clinic there.
Not entirely related to this post but when I saw that nurserys and garden centers were essential I face palmed hard.

As bad as it is now, could you imagine how bad it would've been if they didn't cancel the Basketball Tournaments or if Tampa didn't force Vince McMahon to move WrestleMania to WWE's training facility? The cancellation of sports saved a lot of lives imo, not anyway downplaying this AT ALL just thinking about how worse it would've been if sports didn't shut down.
Yes, and the problem is the governor and N.O. mayor have been blaming the feds and Trump for not giving them the heads up. But given how much business revenue is generated for Mardi Gras, I have serious doubts they would have gone ahead and shut it down even if they had been told to. Or they would have complained about lost revenues and nobody caring for Louisiana culture or something.The decision to not cancel Mardi Gras was sheer madness.

Lowe’s is working to bypass the health department by placing gardening products in the parking lots for people to browse from their cars. And To reduce parking spots and to spread out people.

France’s numbers are surging today. 7,500 new cases and 500 deaths (approximately).
Yeah the 80 year old lady walking out with 7 tiger lilies and a bag of potting soil isn't really looking to grow fresh oregano

The administration declared a national Public Health Emergency on Jan. 31st, and by the time Mardi Gras began on Feb. 25th the pandemic was leading the news headlines worldwide - just how much of a "heads up" did they want? ?

But the US is also BSing

I would suggest everyone check out their local farmers market. Not only is it helping the local economy but I know it's cleaner and safer than the store. I'm the only one that touches your food.

As part of the order then: “While this virus poses a serious public health threat, the risk to the American public remains low at this time, and we are working to keep this risk low,”
They definitely didn't enact or encourage any measures to help at the time. They said the risk remains low.

not directed at you only. But do people realize Mardi Gras is not just one day? It’s a multi week celebration. When it first started the virus was being downplayed by some of our leaders.

You left out this part:
Secretary Azar Declares Public Health Emergency for United States for 2019 Novel Coronavirus
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex. M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the entire United States to aid the nation’s healthcare community in responding to 2019 novel coronavirus.
Yeah I wasn't knocking the farmers market at all.... a vegetable farm, working the farmers market with my parents is what, not only put me through college, but helped sustain my young family the first 10 years of marriage (with 2 kids). I just think nowadays might have to put a "If you touch it you buy it" sign up there! Lol And I'm with you, support the Farmer's Market, support farmers without them many would not eat.

The wording in this is hardly alarming though I think that’s the idea they’re trying to get at here. It’s at that point the federal government (specifically the trump admin) should have issued a nationwide lockdown, and forced states to do the same. Instead, people (esp conservatives) were worried about how much it was being overblown by the media.You left out this part:

So you mean to tell me that Democrat mayors and governors aren't intellectually capable of making their own decisions (based on evidence widely available in the public domain) without prodding from Trump?
Actually, you might have a point there...

For NC Gov said in a press conf peak for our state would be April 20. Based off computer modeling, which as you know changes alot . The models they use dont take in any mitigation factors I beleive, so dates, various metrics do change alot.
