Maybe a blip, but any good news is good news even if it's bad news. The daily number of deaths dropped pretty good yesterday from Saturday's numbers.
Yeah lets.hope that reflects use of the experimental treatment and working.

The Great Depression caused the nationalist uprising in Germany that launched hitler to power. All things are related. Without the depression, would hitler have had a platform to win support? Probably not.
A little perspective for you this morning. CDC data from 2018 indicates that heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death for the U.S. nearly 1,000,000 die every year. Add in diabetes, chronic lower respiratory diseases and you will see my point. Most of these afflictions kill about the same number of Americans every year. Where was the public panic over these? Why are we still allowed to stuff our faces with garbage foods? Why hasn't the government swooped in to keep us from dying from these ailments? Now overlay Covid-19 and you can see that the mortality from this virus is strongly associated with these afflictions I just named above. People afflicted with these will be most of the people dying from Covid-19. Co-morbidity shouldn't mean we shut down the economy. Brace for more dead than a usual year, for sure, but don't shut down the economy for this! Even if 2.2 million die, a large portion of those victims would likely have died within three years, anyway. We need to stop the panic and get back to work!

Except the coronavirus packs "a year's worth of risk into a few weeks", these chronic conditions are spread out over much, much longer periods of time, we know how to treat and prevent them (healthy diet, exercise, medicine, etc), and they're not a new existential threat to the US that adds much greater strain than what already exists in the healthcare system. The coronavirus is thus the "straw that breaks the camel's back".
He didn't send the first tweet and then go chase, the opposite Look at the time stamps! He chased, and the TWO days later tweeted out about Quarantines.
This post is misleading for clicks.
Exactly. Clickbait at its finestHe didn't send the first tweet and then go chase, the opposite Look at the time stamps! He chased, and the TWO days later tweeted out about Quarantines.

More like cherry picking at its finest.
It really doesn't matter what order the events occurred in because in the end, he's still a massive hypocrite regardless of whether the chicken came before the egg or not.
So, you're admitting you cherry picked data, to present a false narrative to generate 'Likes'?

How exactly does the sequence of events make this individual any less hypocritical towards storm chasers, given that he actually chased in a very densely populated area within a few days of said statement?

Because in the original post you presented it as if he first threatened to track people and then proceeded to storm chase right after that when in reality that's not how it happened. Smast16 was just pointing out that the sequence described was not accurately depicted is all.
How exactly does the sequence of events not make the dude look like he's a completely hypocrite? That's really the point here, not some cherry-pick of my tweet. It also could have been pointed out w/ more civility but I expected nothing less from this thread.
I'm not trying to say if it's hypocritical or not of the storm chaser, just that the presentation of the sequence of events was different from how they happened is all. I don't really follow storm chasers or Twitter so I don't really have an opinion on the storm chaser one way or another.

Yes but those diseases happen over time and with variation. Those continue to happen along now with Corona patients who would be coming in at a rapid pace to many hospitals across the country. Hospitals get food and then people start choosing who dies. That’s what we want to avoidA little perspective for you this morning.

But what is the point of bringing this up in the first place other than to argue for the sake of arguing if the point of my tweet was that these 2 events together were in fact hypocritical & that changing their order does basically nothing to alter how his statement is perceived following them? Sheesh...
Maybe, just maybe we are beginning to flatten the curve. Confirmed cases have risen only 15 percent the past 24 hours, compared to about 25 percent in the days before. View attachment 38074
God I hope so. We need any good news at this point.Maybe, just maybe we are beginning to flatten the curve. Confirmed cases have risen only 15 percent the past 24 hours, compared to about 25 percent in the days before. View attachment 38074
Yes same I found dollar store and the higher priced publix was a good find. Lucked up yesterday and found a huge box of dipers at walmart yesterday. I hope this will get us to the point of potty trained!Well we are getting low on baby wipes and no stores around here have them in stock because people are buying them and using in place of toilet paper... and amazon canceled our subscribe and save shipment because they're out right now of all baby wipes too... so I manage to find a reasonably priced box of unopened ones on eBay. This is crazy...
Please remain sheltered in nestFirst case of corona confirmed in Wilkes today. I don’t follow the numbers anymore when your told to not get tested if your symptoms are just mild. Many Many people have it.
Not going to get excited yet, but at least it gives us a reason for hope. Hopefully this is the start of a trend.BREAKING: Daily New U.S. Coronavirus Cases Fall For The First Time In 7 Days
Keep in mind to keep the curve flat we'd have to continue current measures for some time to come.God I hope so. We need any good news at this point.
