They closed a few stores, but there's no mention of a general lockdown of people in their homes except for those actually infected. If the US had acted swiftly enough we too could have contained the virus without ****ing up the economy.

What others do is none of my business UNTIL it enters my bubble.

Shoot heroin while banging a Haitian with HIV. IDGAS. Until it disturbs me, have at it.

Is that based on estimated number of cases like we calculate for the flu and other infectious diseases, or on the number of confirmed cases?

If the latter, as I suspect, why change how we've calculated that metric forever for other similar diseases except to scare people?

(FOTL filter = Fruit of the Loom)
Yup over 50 actually but yes it certainly crept up on him in a big way.

Same with ours, and no cash is allowed. The guy at the clubhouse has a window open, he only takes a card if you need to pay. Members like me, we just show up and play. The carts are sprayed down with bleach water between each use, one per cart, you can't touch the flag stick, there is a little PVC thing in the cup to stop the ball from going down more than about 3/4". We made a rule that if you putt and the ball touches the plastic thing but comes out of the hole, it counts as made. Doesn't happen very often but it happens. Also no rakes for the bunkers. We made another rule for our groups that if you land in a bunker on a messed up area, pick up the ball, and smooth the sand with your foot and replace. Works out well.

Yesterday they had verti-cut and sanded the front nine, and are doing the back-nine today. It was very damp and the sand on the greens on the first nine holes made putting brutal. But you got used to it pretty quickly and always kept a towel handy. I shot OK-ish on the front. Got to the back nine and it was like I didn't know how to putt anymore. Kept smashing the putts past the cup like 10 feet. The difference between the greens on the front and back really screwed with me. Shot terrible on the back. I rarely 3-putt and did it like six times on the back.

My wife has the "glamorous" job of housekeeping at the local hospital. You watch the news or read articles and all the praise go to the doctors and nurses. Folks like my wife who keep things CLEAN make the "glorious ones" look good.
Absolutely.

Latest in a vaccine development

"The researchers also used a novel approach to deliver the drug, called a microneedle array, to increase potency. This array is a fingertip-sized patch of 400 tiny needles that delivers the spike protein pieces into the skin, where the immune reaction is strongest. The patch goes on like a Band-Aid and then the needles—which are made entirely of sugar and the protein pieces—simply dissolve into the skin."

Yep, saw this over the weekend.

Maybe we could stop talking about it and start doling it out.

When this "hell week" comes and goes rather uneventfully, as I expect it will, do you think we will finally start turning shit on again?
