Oso planning to go pro
Is there a site that posts trends on hospitalizations by state? That seems to be more relevant now --in conjunction with the initial points of cases/deaths.
And then there is this:A used-car dealer was charged with fraud in a $45 million mask-selling scheme.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/27/nyregion/coronavirus-ny-live-updates.html?type=styln-live-updates&label=new%20york&index=2&action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage#link-3cabdc13A New Jersey used-car dealer was arrested Tuesday and charged with wire fraud in connection to what prosecutors say was an audacious $45 million scheme to defraud and price-gouge New York City as cases of Covid-19 were skyrocketing.The used-car dealer, Ronald J. Romano, posed as an authorized 3M dealer and offered to sell the city seven million masks at a more than 400 percent markup from their list price, according to a three-count criminal complaint unsealed in United States District Court in Manhattan.------------Pathetic loser.
This site is the only one I have found that provides daily numbers of hospitalizations, but it's really cumbersome to use. You have to scroll down and then click on the state you're looking at, and you can see hospitalizations day by day.https://covidtracking.com/dataJust using Alabama because it's first on the list, hospitalizations for the past few days are as follows:
Here is a summary of data. Looks like they used COVID Tracking Project, Harvard Global Health Institute; https://www.axios.com/state-by-state-coronavirus-hospitalizations-04da87ed-476e-4dad-84ec-bd5db7a7bce7.html
These are cumulative numbers Goooo....not current.
For the first time, I was accosted today for wearing a mask by a guy in a MAGA hat. Nothing to do but laugh at him.
We were filling our gas tanks at the same time, me wearing a mask, him a MAGA hat. He felt the need to educate me. Old enough to be my dad, driving a 30 yeah old pick up. Checked a lot of cliche boxes. I laughed.
New reporting from Gabriel Sherman confirms what we have long suspected: Trump sees himself as the biggest victim of the coronavirus pandemic:As he headed into Memorial Day weekend, Donald Trump complained that he was COVID-19’s biggest victim. “He was just in a unnatural carnal knowledgeing rage,” said a person who spoke with Trump late last week. “He was saying, ‘This is so unfair to me! Everything was going great. We were cruising to reelection!” Even as the death toll neared 100,000 and unemployment ranks swelled to over 38 million, Trump couldn’t see the pandemic as anything other than something that had happened to him. “The problem is he has no empathy,” the adviser said. Trump complained that he should have been warned about the virus sooner. “The intelligence community let me down!” he said.This is considered "being a great president" by some on Scoop.In reality, it is shocking and pathetic.
To clarify, you're saying he felt the need to educate you about (a) mask wearing or (b) that you should be wearing a MAGA hat? Assuming he was within six feet of you, either way he'd be offensive. If not within six feet of you, (b) is still offensive.
Trump's aversion to masks is such a unique driver for COVID, mask compliance and .. division.
Is he going to say anything?
It would seem appropriate for the President to say something about the devastating loss of human life. Is he going to say anything?
