That totally sucks @Neverdul .  Prayers sent for your niece's family.

@Cyber Liberty

@Once-Ler

Thanks for the kind words and concerns and prayers. The thing is that my niece and her husband are the type of people who would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it (I’ve seen them do extraordinary things for other people, me included) but rarely ask anyone else for help.

I can certainly go on shopping runs for them, of course keeping myself distanced since I’m somewhat at a higher risk, dropping it off on their porch.

I got an update that she and her stepson’s tests came back negative. But I find it concerning that she has a headache and sore throat and the girls are complaining about sore throats too.  I told her to make sure to get re-tested if she continues to have symptoms or gets worse. I hear way too much about the tests not being all that accurate – more false negatives than false positives.  :0001:

Well, a sore throat can be caused by just about anything, from atmospheric irritants to post-nasal drip to a virus to bacteria (e.g. strep). I don't think headache is, in and of itself, a symptom of this particular virus, so (and keep in mind, I don't pretend to be a doctor so don't take this as professional medical advice) my suspicion is that it's not COVID.

We should keep in mind that it's spring and pollen is everywhere. I suspect that most of the sore throats and coughing right now are sinus related and have nothing to do with the virus.

That could be the case. I hope so. God knows with my allergies and the pollen levels, I'm coughing a lot. OTOH, her husband tested positive for it and their townhouse isn’t all that large for the size of their family – 3 adults and 4 kids – hard to social distance.  And with my niece and her kids with schools closed, it’s not like they are being exposed to much else.

FWIW - headaches are a common symptom of COVID-19.

@Neverdul When sickness enters my home I become much more aware of every cough, sneeze, and sniffle I have.  I also had sympathy back pain when my wife was in labor.  I'm not saying your concern isn't justified, just you have lots of reasons to be hopeful, my friend.  Your niece's family is blessed to have your support now when they need it so much.  Stay strong for them.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

George W. Bush's powerful message of hope during the coronavirus pandemic

Beautiful.

About half way through the video turns to color and the audio becomes much clearer.  You soon become aware President Bush was speaking behind a facial mask at the beginning.

US cases-to-recovery ratio falls below 7 for the first time, while the 14-day recovery deficit approaches half a million.  If those 498,000 unresolved cases were counted as recoveries, the case-to-recovery ration would fall to 1.7.

It does not look like deaths are falling.  It looks like they have plateaued.

Why are Connecticut's COVID numbers so high?

Interesting article about the incredibly high numbers and death rates in Connecticut.

Don't know anything about the validity, but the objective stuff is accurate.

@Fishrrman

Anybody have any idea why this is? Isn't Ct one of those mostly yuppie and rich states that knows more than the rest of us,and can afford pretty decent health care?

Also,doesn't it mostly have smaller and cleaner cities than most states?

After all,that's where all the REAL NY'rs live.

I trudged through the article, and there is some semblence of plausibility in how at least they are reporting their  "numbers"...

(1) and most of all....   They may be padding their numbers by reporting "probable" deaths vs. proven via proper cornoner review methods.
(2) Proximity to NY
(3) Claims that their social distancing requirements were implemented later than other areas.

Surprised a dedicated thread hasn't been created for W's comments around the so called "bi-partisanship" concerns around the pandemic.

My $.02?

What W may be saying may sound like it would have merit on the surface, what he has failed to notice, or acknowledge is the extreme level of what the dim party has done to exploit this disease for political gain.  Wonder what his malfunction is?  Still in jeb revenge mode?

Very disappointed in him..  These comments undermine the POTUS.

I don't. He is a burnt-out cokehead and drunk,and wasn't all that bright to begin with. He's dumber than dirt now.

Plus,it looks like Babs didn't tell anyone where she hid the lockbox holding his balls.

Probably be a nice guy to have for a neighbor if it weren't for all the SS guys running around,but he just flat SUCKED as a President.

Regarding the "probable" deaths vs. the proven deaths by COVID....... since the CDC changed the numbers, Ohio has posted both so you can see what the difference is.

As of today, here are our death numbers....

957- Confirmed Deaths    81- CDC Expanded Death Definition (Probable)    1,038 -Total Deaths

You can make up your own mind as to whether or not the difference is significant.

I find it helpful to know both numbers, and tend to go only by the confirmed number in both cases and deaths.

I don't know if Connecticut provides both in their own state information.

A message from President George Bush.  My first response was why?  He is no longer the President, so why does he feel the need to make this announcement?  No.  Not necessary.  Now ... IF Clinton Bush and Obama would have made an announcement together, praising Trump and wishing America well, that would be completely different. 
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Never been a Bush basher...  voted for them 7 times.  However, this video was counterproductive, and undermines the POTUS efforts.

Bi-partisan my ASS!!!!  The dims have become the ultimate politcal opportunist, and have exploited this crisis for maximum gain.  If W is too dumb to realize that, then he sure as hell has lost it as far as I am concerned.

I'm not quite sure why or who compelled him to make this statement.   IF he indeed came up with the idea to make this statement on his own, does he perhaps think because he was faced with 9-11 his reassurance is needed??  I don't know. 

Yes, it sure seems like his intent was to undermine our President, and if that was his intent; shame on him!
