I don't know of a good site that shows the history of the % positive number.
    No, cause we're still basically only testing people that are exhibiting symptoms.
    What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

      That might actually make an impression on some of the scum. They're still in the "it's a City Boy Problem" mode. They probably think it's only affecting blacks. A southern co-worker of mine was very surprised to hear I knew white people from NYC because "that city is like 80% black."

        Im sure they were using the term black to cover all non-whites. When discriminating against non-whites they don't discriminate about which specific group it is.

              We need to have a table of feuds. I can't keep them straight.

              Is walrus-rufus one?

              There's the MN-WI one I can't remember. And there's the one involving the guy born in NoDak who went to MN or maybe the other way. And there's Rover vs everybody.

                Not going to admit, some groups of posters run together for me. For example, there "short names all lowercase" of burd/rufus/walrus I forget who is who. And I don't mean that as a bad thing, it means none of them have been jerks or said something so ridiculous that it stands out.

                  I'm gonna guess he's related to the guys who, upon learning I lived in the Detroit area, asked if I have to pack a gun every time I leave the house.

                    I actually had a co-worker defend gun rights to me once by saying, "you're from NY, right? Well, do you want to be outgunned?" When I asked "by whom?" he slunk away.

                    Republicans. What if the bottom third of an all-white Arkansas high school teleported here from 1951?

                      Actually I think Rover is funny. You just don't understand bourbon swilling BU grads.

                        Then again, we are just about to the time to see the first protest spike. And another week and a half from the second- which will probably be worse, given the distancing.

                        Had it not been for the protesters wanting to go outside, we might be able to go outside next week.
                        Sundays don't count, tomorrows numbers will tell you if MI is improving.

                          I thought Rover was a rum & coke man?

                                The same people who sneer at getting ones' news from an "entertainment show", are the folks unironically watching Fox and OANN prime time whilst streaming The Blaze.
