(1,816 posts)I live in Northern NY.
Testing only on in patient or people waiting to be admitted to hospital. No drive through testing or testing for everyone!
We had only 3 deaths in my county, but 2 of them have been since Sat.
This is not going to go away anytime soon.

This is Onondaga County, so I don't know how far away that would be.

(4,103 posts)An undercover journalist called several funeral homes posing as a government official asking them if they needed anymore employees to be sent over to help with the workload. One funeral home is cremating 120 bodies a day and there are dozens of funeral homes doing the same in Wuhan alone.

(3,660 posts)I knew they were fudging some of the numbers, but I did not know or realize it was that bad.

(11,343 posts)I have been making masks and giving them away. I spray each one with disinfectant and put them in paper bags.
Around dinner time I started feeling really bad so I took my temp. 99.2..... (not high, but still alarming)
I thought "well, I guess I can just sew myself up in my own body bag..."

(11,343 posts)Im kinda selfish though....
The first masks were for my family. Then my neighbors.
Now my little rural town.
I tell people that Im not really that kind...
Im just securing my perimeter...
Seriously, most people here have been great. Im not charging money, only asking for supplies (fabric, ties, elastic, etc).
Yes, I feel better this morning. I figure it's hay fever/allergies. Thank you for checking on me!

(42,753 posts)There should be full accountability. For Trump and for the party that endorsed him.
Andy823
(11,495 posts)that endorsed him, AND voted to acquitted him during the impeachment trials. If they had done their job and convicted him, things could have been different, and maybe so many people who not have died.
The guilty ones are trump and the republican party, and they need to be removed from office. We need to vote them out in November!

(1,288 posts)I'm certainly praying it isn't, but until it peaks and declines, the general idea I've read is that it approximately doubles every six days. I think it was at 15,000 about 6 days ago. Hopefully, people staying at home and social distancing lessens that, but if social distancing and restrictions are relaxed, there will be a lot of unexposed people going into circulation and I don't see how the curve will slope down much then.

(9,114 posts)Can't claim to know a lot of things for sure.
Agreed, he's verry stupid, stone ignorant, and insouciantly proud about the fact he doesn't have to try to work to learn anything. And he's really lazy.
He's also always been a malevolent malicious piece of rat dung. He can't remember the lie he told us 15 seconds ago, when he tells us a lie that contradicts that one. But he never forgets a fight, grudge, reality tv style feud he had, even decades after the fact. He's only happy, and so happy, when he's telling everyone how he hates someone. Pure malice.
He really hates Dems, everyone who votes for Dems, non-nazi media, intelligent and competent people, and everyone who isn't a rich right wing white guy that kisses his ass. He loves putin, xi, kim though.
He and BoJo are doing a bang up job screwing the US and UK up, which is really helpful to putin.
I really believe that he thinks even his own voters, who live in states with Dem govs, deserve to die, because if they had really supported him enough, they wouldn't have Dem govs. Even in the states who put their gov in in '15. Because he's stupid, and doesn't bother making distinctions like that. They betrayed him by not backing him strongly enough. And he never gave the slightest shit about them, anyway. But since they 'failed' him, he feels maliciously toward them even more.
He's always thought he was born of royal blood, and was meant by god to rule over lesser humans.
Just an opinion. But I think he plunks down on proudly lazy stupid, and is very malevolent. Let it happen or helped it happen. Wanted it to happen or didn't give a shit if it happened. Same end result. If it's just a matter of stupid and incompetent, the fact that he declares himself smart and super competent and demands all the power and demands that he gets to run everything, means there's no difference between the two. It's either incompetence with malice thrown into the bargain as an extra, or incompetence as a tool of malice.
