Too bad they are two weeks late in doing something. But it's at least something. Just sent a "contact us" to the cruise line that we use to do *something* to get Florida to act, as there's no way we are going to travel there any time soon the way it's going now. Plenty of things to do here in Michigan.

Harvard sucks but they're going to save more lives than anybody else by the time this ends.
They killed off the NC$$ death wish last year when they shut down athletics, starting the dominos that ended with then entire NC$$ being forced to do the right thing.
Welp, they just went to all online for 20-21. Presumably this means no athletics, which ought to shut down 20-21.
tl; dr: F-ck Harvard except this once. Good for them.

I'm all for shutting down hockey season and making our coach take remedial biology classes (he re-Tweeted some pseudoscience/conspiracy sh*t about the virus couple weeks back, so I guess he still adores Dump's "leadership" *sigh*).

This just in. Jocks are dumb. I shudder to imagine Mike's politics.
Wouldn't that be just playing the crowd? If Mel did that down here, it would not go over well- especially with how UM is run. But at Tech- it's a different state.

Maybe some of the local oldsters, definitely not a majority of the Zoomer generation students.
It's awful optics regardless, and makes the university (fcking research institution for crying out loud) look bad.

Can’t prove it, but my neighborhood is claiming someone here hosted a covid party with positive diagnosis and parents -around 100 people supposedly- brought their teens there to expose before school starts.
it‘ a probably true.

Jeb, yes, we are an over-weight, unhealthy nation. Especially compared to many of the nations in Asia who are doing significantly better than we are. Next, are you really this dense Jeb? First off, any article whose headline reads..."HUGE MASSIVE CDC FRAUD UNCOVERED".... is automatically deserving of much more scrutiny than you obviously gave it. Then again, let's look at the source (not you, the article -- although with your track record regarding statements or links, it should probably be applied to you as well 
Obviously NOT a legitimate news gathering entity. To be honest, most on here would see the headline - if they did choose to link to it at all -- and immediately close the link. After reading that headline, I figured, what the hell, let's see just how stupid and outrageous this is. All I had to do was read the opening paragraph to find out.
Gee, is it really that surprising that the CDC is counting antibody tests as "new" cases if the people testing positive for antibodies haven't previously tested positive before?!? Of course those should be counted as new/first time infections...Why the hell wouldn't they be?!?
And, for the UMPTEENTH time.... WE AGREE....THE DAILY DEATH COUNT HAS BEEN DROPPING SIGNIFICANTLY!!! Holy "F" Jeb.... We also agree that is great news. Of course, two weeks ago, you were also touting the fact that hospitalizations weren't rising or, that ICU bed occupancies were also static. Funny, just as we warned you, let's wait two or three weeks and let's see where those numbers are. Well, here we are, hospitalizations have risen dramatically and ICU bed availability is almost non-existent in many communities in Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California.
Also, like the doctor from the other article you linked to, we understand that the vast majority of people who die or have significant negative outcomes, are in their 70s or 80s and often have comorbidities. However, there have still been thousands -- that's right, THOUSANDS (probably close to 10,000) under the age of 60 -- many without comorbidities, that have died as well. Unfortunately, dying isn't the only way this virus can cause lifelong negative effects. Why is THAT so hard for YOU to understand? The problem is, you and others who keep banging on the... "there's no need to be afraid" drum, have already decided -- usually for strictly political convenience regarding Trump/the Republican Cult...I mean...party, that a number of preventable/unnecessary deaths is the amount of collateral damage we'll need to accept to ensure the vast, vast, majority of Americans can keep lining the pockets of the 1%/Big Corporations.... What's amazing to most of us is, if we lost 130,000 Americans due to a definitively preventable terrorism attack -- especially if it was proven to be from an Arab/Muslim extremist group -- you and every other Republican would be on here going "even one unnecessary loss of life is too much".... Unless of course the required response to prevent a similar attack might make the Stock Market drop 2%...
Finally, in regards to your most recent link; your trolling efforts are even worse than "bot level". The very first reply is from someone actually doing the tracking who categorically refutes what the idiot Tweeter posted. Jesus F---ing Christ Jeb....your whole stance on this is just flat out wrong. We know you're wrong, you know you're wrong, hell, my guess is even your own mom knows you're wrong. I like a good debate but, this is like taking candy away from a baby. Just give it up man...

net presence- I would not really say for sure that the death rate is going down. The live daily reporting might be appearing to go down, but states continue to add deaths late as they find out why someone died a week ago. Looking at Florida's data- two weeks ago, the per day immediate deaths per day were in the mid single digits - 4-6 or so. Now, those same dates have been corrected to close to 50 now.
Let alone the time delay problem- there's a delay from positive test results to hospitalizations and then another delay from hospitalizations to fatalities. So it's a 2-4 week time lag from cases to deaths. The death rate decline that many see right now was an indication that what we were doing 4-6 weeks ago might have been effective. Then states jumped the gun- you see New York and Michigan get better, that means Florida and Texas can open- when they didn't have the same indicators that they were ready.
The fact that it's turned into a political discussion is horrible. Sickening and immoral. VERY contrary to the idea that r's have any family or life values at all. Once again, they have totally shown that their total focus is on money, and will be happy to corrupt other ideas that they have no real care about just to become more wealthy and powerful. Disgusting.
