  1. Yes but the rate of being very sick isn't low and if this virus isn't treated as being very dangerous that number would skyrocket as would the death rate. Remember these numbers we have are with precautions in place, can you imagine what it would be like without them?
  2. My one picture is incomparable to Josh's but still decent rates here. Total at 4PM was 2.9 on the day
  3. That's a good point too that nearly 700k people have been tested for it but what if I told you the actual number of cases was 10 or 20x that. Just look at the numbers coming off these Navy ships, that over 50% of the cases are asymptomatic. So you know there are millions in this country who may be infected and not even remotely realize it.
  4. Until we have adequate testing so that thousands of people don't come into my terminal without knowing if they are sick or not. Unfortunately we have no idea when that date is.
  5. Don't make me reveal your alterego and yeah the border does look good, Hillsdale or Toledo.
  6. @MIstorm97 is. It is a discord inside joke
  7. Yeah some of the problems with these systems are really challenging but then again 7 weeks ago we didn't expect any of this to happen and the systems were not setup to handle no where near this kind of volume. I will say the states though have done a wonderful job adjusting on the fly compared to the federal government and its issues.
  8. I get that too because we don't know where the end will be. But we are all in this together and some of us like myself are still out there keeping the world at least semi-moving. What we all don't want though is at the end of this to know a relative or friend who has perished.
  9. Trust me I get people are restless, especially as the weather is improving, but this is being done so we don't end up with something like 1918. It is just rational to be safe vs sorry.
  10. Exactly, we haven't gotten to the point where people can get a test on demand, how could we ever open things up when we can't test.
  11. Noticed the models are ticking north here as well. The curse of Isaac lives on! @MIstorm97
  12. Bingo, if someone can't live off of 962 dollars a week in this state, I am sorry but you are living beyond your means and/or should have saved up your excess income. That projects out at 50k a year. Well above the poverty line, actually even well above the median income in this country.
  13. The whole issue I don't get is yes people are out of work, why don't they take advantage of all the opportunities given to them. Unemployment is available to millions across the country, and yes it isn't perfect but it is available for a very large majority and with the additional 600 a week that is more than enough to survive this shutdown. It isn't permanent so make use of what is available. The negative consequences are no where near what the positives are, what happens if we let our guard down and let this virus run rampant, we have over 650k cases that we know of and over 30k people have died in the matter of 7 weeks, both of those numbers have shown no sign of slowing and this is with precautions in place.
  14. Yeah and that was thousands of people.
  15. Max will be 14" is my guess.
  16. True, but I would bet every dollar I have it is overdone.
  17. Their "choices" blocked an ambulance route to a hospital. I don't want to hear about choices of a very small minority of people who look to have been against the Governor no matter what she did. If these people want all this ultimate freedom to do whatever they want there are 9 states for idiots who have done nothing yet. One of those states SD, because they have done nothing have a massive outbreak at a meat plant. So I don't want to hear about choices of people who are clearly not caring about anyone but themselves.
  18. That protest in Lansing was so fruitful. Idiots
  19. Instantly, but it already melted as soon as the sun came back out.
  20. I am not salaried and most people have the ability to be on unemployment right now. If this is ongoing 6 months from now then we can have the discussion again then. Right now though everyone that can be on unemployment should be.
  21. The first one was a squall that just came through and the other was at home earlier today.
  22. That one had such a crazy cutoff to the north, Toledo had over 7" here less than 1".
  23. Stop thinking about money over lives, this isn't that hard. We have over 30k people dead in this country in a month and a half with many actions done to prevent the spread, what do you think would happen if none of those actions happened? You could easily take that number and triple it or even more.
