With the churches down south still having huge congregations late because this was a “hoax” I assure you it’s very high counts in these backwater areas with low hospital capacity.

I saw a map the other day that had LA as the highest number of respirators per capita in the nation. I wasn't entirely sure how.

Yep...this isnt a seasonal thing, we have to take this seriously or we will be right back here in 2-3 months.

And of course...we arent even close to taking this seriously.

Sure I’m not just referring to LA though. Don’t they have a dem gov? Sense prevailed there earlier than some other places.
Atlanta said they’re likely at capacity in hospitals today. That’s not good

Didn't the LA governor act pretty quickly? Maybe he bought them up?

Man, that is bad. They only started generating non-trivial numbers a couple days ago so they should be many days from their peak.

Big cities in red states are in severe danger:

Code: 
Houston
Phoenix
San Antonio
Dallas
Austin
Jacksonville
Fort Worth
Columbus
Charlotte
Indianapolis
El Paso
Nashville
Memphis
Oklahoma City
Louisville
Tucson
Mesa
Atlanta
Kansas City
Miami
Raleigh
Omaha
Tulsa
Arlington
Tampa
Wichita
Cleveland
Corpus Christi
Lexington
St. Louis
Cincinnati

A literal killer combination of large, dense population plus lazy, ignorant, incompetent governance.

LA recently had a huge investment in public health because of the wildfires. It’s the same legislation that requires every office to have enough N95 masks for everyone, which they’ve been using up.
Never mind, you’re talking about LA, I meant LA

Anyone have a link to the Senate stimulus bill? My google-fu is failing me this morning.

Actually, I think it was this graphic:
https://www.kff.org/other/state-ind...Model={"colId":"Location","sort":"asc"}#notes

I'm not sure how, but they have more beds per capita than most.

Edit: Found the graphic I was looking for:

https://publicintegrity.org/health/...nowhere-near-enough-to-fight-the-coronavirus/

Ventilator per capita broken down by state. It's 11 years old though and doesn't include government-owned. So the data is pretty ****ty.

Looks like there are a lot of beds per capita in flyover country.

My guess is 90% of those Democrats are POC.

Religious leaders in non-white low income communities are a very different breed of cat. They are essentially community activists / political leaders. They might be the best source of information those people have. It's not about a hotline to the Man in the Sky, it's about loyalty to the community and trust -- the only person with a scintilla of authority who won't f-ck them over.

Who else they gonna believe? The cops? The bank?

Uhhhhhh...you were saying?
"Now I want you to understand this ... if I'm a Christian, if I'm living for God, if I'm doing the right thing, why would God send a virus to kill me?" Pastor Banks says. "For us to create this type of fear and paranoia in this country … is amazing to me."

Those states won't have the highest death rate because they aren't testing. They'll have the highest death rate because most of them generally have the unhealthiest people living there, like AL/MS, which have the highest proportion of smokers, obese people, diabetes, heart problems, etc. This is something I've always agreed with lewsp1 and others on here. At this point, by the time testing gets to where it needs to be, it's probably too late. I'm not saying we shouldn't still be testing, but it's clear enough that shelter-in-place is the only way to effectively stop the spread. Since red states have had more time to prepare since this seemingly has hit blue states like WA, NY, and CA first, if they're still in the "limited action" zone, like 9 red states still are at this point, that's disgraceful. Where I've disagreed with basically everyone on this board is that all southern states, or all red states, not just particular ones, are not doing enough to prepare for this pandemic. The BEST thing any red state can do is shelter-in-place, or at least social distance, just like any blue state, just like ANYWHERE on the planet. Your state, VA, according to Coronavirus Act Now, has not implemented a shelter-in-place yet. Your state will be f-cked between 4/18-4/23 if it doesn't switch to a shelter-in-place. MN, where many posters here are from and where I'm originally from, is f-cked between 4/26-5/1. I hope MN, VA, and other social distancing states switch to shelter-in-place ASAP.

Sorry but this is a bit simplistic. Yes they are unhealthy and that will play a huge roll. But their stubborn refusal to take this seriously at all is going absolutely be the reason along with not preparing. You cannot say with a straight face that most of the red states are ready for this. They dont have the resources, they dont have the training, and they dont have the balls to do what must be done. I get that, since you live in Kentucky, you feel the need to be the defender of the South and you arent wrong we are definitely piling on so I tip my cap to you. But the truth is, the South is screwed because many of the states there just arent in a position to stop this...and they are close to Florida who is doing everything they can to spread it. (the Redneck Riviera is screwed)

Every state is going to be screwed at some point, even California. Minnesota put steps in place to put people in the best position as everything shut down. We dont have "Shelter in Place" but we closed everything but essential business and shut the schools down pretty early on. We adapted quick and when Walz puts the order in place it will have minimal effect at this point. (hell it would hardly be a change at all)

You are also assuming that all the states arent already screwed. If we had a test for every person the infection rate would be through the roof right now. As it is it is climbing steadily anyways.

It's not you.

Details won’t be available until sometime later on March 25, and actual bill text may barely be done before Senate and House votes

Nobody has the bill yet.
