6pm on the beach in Jacksonville.

I wasn't referring to you. You entertain me.

Because kids do'n't live with old people.

Why did i just click, "show this post"?

Yeah, I thought so too. Here's a link to the complete ariticle. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-military-sympt/coronavirus-clue-most-cases-aboard-us-aircraft-carrier-are-symptom-free-idUSKCN21Y2GB

60% of the about 600 crew members that tested positive on the Theodore Roosevelt are asymptomatic. Gives a new definition to aircraft carrier.

I think you know EJ well enough to realize he was trying to make a point. eta: by the way, I’ve said those exact same words many times and yet I have nothing to base that opinion on. However, if you lived on a street that had a bank atm on the corner of Reisterstown Rd and saw the number of nincompoops that park along the street under the no parking or standing sign and block the entire intersection when there are two parking lots not more than 25 feet away, I dare say that you’d have some choice words too.

You mean forget as in this will be over, or forget as in, “forget it, I’m going out regardless of consequences?”

Socialism, yo.

The point of view that, “If you don’t like it, then you can leave,” is really annoying. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world but it doesn’t change my opinion that there are some seriously selfish and entitled morons that live here. I’m not pointing fingers in this thread, just saying.

Yikes. From the Wall Street Journal... “In the 24 hours ending at 8 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, 4,591 people were reported to have died from Covid-19, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of data from Johns Hopkins University. The prior record was 2,569 on Wednesday.” It sounds insensitive to say it, but hopefully the daily death count peaks quickly so we can definitely say we are on the other side of the curve.

Just to be clear, Ohio did not say that they were opening schools on May 1, right? That, I think, would lead to trouble,

The northern MD tier will point to you in June for starting the outbreak there. My girl hates my new porkchop sideburns that are growing in nicely!

Damn. Legit.

Great lightning strike and thunder. Still off to the west.

Just some occasional rolling thunder way out to the west here.

Good idea. It’ll be interesting in the coming years as people visit their doctors for routine physicals to see if they had contracted the virus without ever knowing it. Assuming, of course, that checking becomes part of the routine bloodwork.

I remember you being sick with similar symptoms about a month ago. I don’t think you were tested but do you feel confident it wasn’t covid?

The before and after pictures out of India are crazy. Who could live in that? But I guess LA and NYC were pretty bad back in the 70’s. I remember a ton of code orange and red days back then.

I’m glad they’ve all recovered, and pretty cool that she’s donating to the cause. Out of curiosity, did any of them get tested or did they just know from all the symptoms?

Thanks. She’s in good spirits and is doing well. She’s not in the at-risk age group so unless something drastic changes, she should be fine. The only unfortunate part is that she has to isolate herself from husband and kids.

My sister-in-law’s sister is a construction project manager on site in DC and just got the news she has covid. Says she’s ok. Weak, no appetite, but otherwise ok. She resisted getting the test because she didn’t want to waste it on what she was sure was not the virus.

I had put this in banter, but I’ll bring it here too. If you want to feel hopeful, check out the tuberculosis (BCG) vaccine that’s given in many countries that are reporting lower cases than “normal.” Of course, some of those countries are the same ones that you’d expect to lie, so maybe no connection at all. However, this interview with Dr. Robert Gallo, the director at the Institute of Human Virology at UMD School of Medicine is intriguing. Go to about 1 minute remaining.

I was thinking an apple bowing ball.

What color is the bowling ball?
