    For sure there is not enough testing being done, but death also lags the positive test result.... less people appear to be getting sick... so I don’t think your assumption is accurate.

    This is due to social distancing measures, sure, but nonetheless I do believe it is working.

    The leveling off of positive tests is due to the lack of sufficient testing. That's it. I agree that the social distancing is working, but it's not going to work in a hurry.

    The only way we get back to work is with widespread testing -- both for covid and for antibodies. This is what the politicians need to be hammering home and making happen. Imagine if we had all these home tests dropped on every doorstep tonight. We'd know exactly who's immune and who's infected. We'd have this sucker under control for good in 2 weeks.

    was at a party last night, dude tried to hug me as he left and I ducked out of his way

    We did all smoke from the same joints and bowls so I figure I had already gone above and beyond.

    Now that's fukkin a special kind of stupid right there which is why he's

    What are the laws in Canada, in the truck driving industry?

    They have to be laxed compared to the rest of the world......

    Not enough data. Weekend data is not reliable. Let's see how he numbers look at the end of this week for starters. Need 2 weeks of consistent significant decline in deaths and hospitalizations.

    Yes but it will go down. This is good. It clearly shows that in Italy and Spain as well.

    Then what? What happens if/when we loosen up the social distancing? Needs to be confirmed way down first. I don't see any way we can be there May 1. Shoot for May 18.

    There will have to be rules for people when they go out. I'm not advocating that things just go right back to normal.

    It’s a guessing game

    shoulda hired handicappers

    real ones, handicapp people

    not solely numbers

    so I’ll say it

    urban blacks are too cool for masks

    they rather say “ I’m scared to get arrested , being a thief”

    of course not racism

    just real talk


    im shocked robbery / looting #’s aren’t up

    Go away? Not for a long time. Hope... sure... but if I had to predict... I think it's going to be a roller coaster ride for at least another year or so. Hopefully it won't be that bad in some places. I consider myself extremely lucky to be in one of those places right now. But I think for some places it's going to be really bad for a long time.

    If NFL starts on time this year I would be pretty surprised... it wouldn't surprise me at all if they cancelled the entire season in fact. We'll see. I think by the end of April and almost certainly by the end of May we will know A LOT more than we do now. Hopefully what we'll learn will be good news. I am hoping most of my predictions about this are wrong... but I wouldn't bet against them.

    Sorry to hear about your friend. Stay safe.

    US numbers are unprecedented.............

    This can only mean one thing..........

    Until people are beaten to at least NEAR death for disobeying social distancing
    (should BE lockdown)
    orders,the numbers are gonna keep skyrocketing as its basic COMMON SENSE..........


    US citizens would rather die with their freedoms, sad to say...

    It's the common denominator compared to the rest of the world......

    The more freedom a country's people have,the higher the COVID 19 numbers,FACT............
