Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Lisa and Oliver are still not social distancing!

 

But the MyPillow guy ... [/bluefont]

 

Why, I could have sworn I heard a guy with a radio show in Nashville tell us two weeks ago that we'd hit the peak by March 29. And that meant we'd be about to have sports again. So confused.

 

My dad wasn't born until 1943 and he told me the same thing. You know what, the sonovagun was right!

 

Johnson is remarkable. He's a whacko in a swing state. You expect this nonsense from SEC Senators or from people in stupid districts like Louie Gohmert. But Wisconsin?

 

Spasibo, comrade.

 

Baseball season is slip sliding away.

 

Sigh. I don't have words. Well, I do, but I try to limit my spewing of obscenity here. This basically rates an obscenity followed by a blasphemy and an expletive or two.

"Hey, let's party on the sand BAR. Get it? Hurr hurr hurr."

 

My daughter's teachers have been great about communicating. They started distance learning just a few days after the order to close the schools. Think about average class sizes. A teacher at my daughter's school would have five or six classes with 25-to-30 students in each. So if they have 125 students, which would be the low end of that, can you imagine trying to work with so many when they aren't actually in the classroom? Now factor in that many of them have children of their own to deal with as well. I've got two friends who are teachers and one who is a guidance counselor and they all have at least two small children (under 10 years old). Ouch.

 

Let's take the low amount of cases per their numbers (38,000,000) and high amount of deaths (62,000) and say those numbers are 100% correct.

That comes out to a death rate of o.16 percent.

The current death rate of COVID-19 per John Hopkins' current stats (184,183 cases, 3,721 deaths) is 2 percent.

Apple, meet orange.

 

Alice and I were thinking last night about what schools here would have done in this situation when our kids were elementary school age. No Internet (well, not in common use). The only remote instruction possible would've been packets sent through the mail. Kids would not have seen their teachers' faces for months. Made me feel better about wasting time online.

 

Such courage.

“I have numbers,” says the president about the expected death toll, “but I’d rather have [Fauci or Birx] say them”
