    ^ At least 24 days.  Good news, indeed. 
    So, it mentions Ohio...but in reality things didn;t break open with lot more people out and about until last week.  May 4th is when some limitations were dropped, but really not 'move the needle' ones.  We have another 2-3 weeks to see the effects.
    Same in IL, which was not on the list.  I think GA, FL and those states are good indicators now.  They loosened up before many other states did.Time will continue to tell.

    It's a conspiracy!  That's how they will get rid of us.  That's how it is that Planet of the Apes is not some piece of science fiction.  It's prophesy!  Say hello to your future masters:

    The new SARS. it will come. it will go, and it won't amount to very much (relatively speaking).

    I would put that much lower on a list of concerning matters.   Much, much lower.

    Well I got the call today about my CV19 test. It came negative as I expected and relieved. I'm STILL nervous going out and being in places where there's many people.

    At one point we had almost $3 billion dollars earmarked for ventilators ... back when not having ventilators was our #1 crisis ... I'm assuming they are still making them.  So are we going to have to build one of those giant warehouses from Raider of the Lost Ark to put them in?  Either way I don't think we should have to worry about another ventilator crisis in our lifetimes.

    This is America. We'll compact 90% of those ventilators into cubes to guarantee a supply shortage next time they're needed.

    That is great news!

    Here is hour our stable genius president indicated his negative result a few days ago:

    "I tested very positively in another sense," Trump added. "I tested positively toward negative, right? So no, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative. But that's a way of saying it. Positively toward the negative."

    I thought for sure he'd test negatively toward the positive at some point.

    Oh also the antibodies as well same for my sister who is staying with me. I also get some kind of certificate saying I'm negative on a certain date. That said, NOTHING  has changed people, we STILL have to take ALL the precautions we did back in March. Even more so since some are going lax in the behavior and movements.

    Minnesota is even saying most of the arrests are people from out of state. I was reliably informed that this sort of thing is extremely dangerous.

    I've heard people say this,  including Trump,  as if it's some sort of mitigating factor or something
     What does it matter where the American protesters live?

    I think the inference is the instigators of the violence and looting arent local. that most of the residents protesting ate doing so peacefully.

    It was a topic of discussion after the Michigan protest. There was deep concern expressed about virus spread because protesters had come from far and wide. This was tongue in cheek.

    Meanwhile...

    Shocking. Think about it,  it's MSP. Where would these people be driving from to get MSP?  Fargo? Madison?
