Yep. Gonna be opening things up any day now.

Worldmeters has 2174 for yesterday. 4500 would be 2x that! Somebody is very wrong.

Note: Worldmeters update 4.15 to > 6k. Obviously this is an issue of playing catch up when states adjust their numbers. The only way to really gauge is by running averages.

Anyway the point is: we are still on the upper swing of the curve. This is not the time to relax and nobody would be talking about it if the lardtard wasn't worried about his re-election.

Yeah, this is bad reporting. I'm not sure where the WSJ is getting their data. It's a fishwrap at best since they were sold.

At least Worldometers puts that important caveat in their numbers.

That's exactly the problem, which I'll accept it once we re-label everything north of Argentina as "North America." The UP is legally a part of the state of Michigan.
I'd like to have one of these people who think Michigan ends at the straits, drive from Copper Harbor to Lansing, then come back to tell me how Mt. Pleasant is in "northern Michigan."

Funny story. Years back the Michigan State Police named their new commander and he wanted to personally visit each post to introduce himself. He wanted to drive as much as possible to the posts to just see for himself the parts of the state they were patrolling. Plan was to cover the UP in like two days.

Takes the state Helicopter to Sawyer and lands mid-morning. Drives the half-hour to Marquette to see the troopers at the district HQ. Spends some time there. Drives the 20 minutes to Negaunee. Spends some time there. Drives the hour-ish to L'Anse. Spends some time there. Drives the hour to Calumet. Spends some time there. Gets in the car to to to Wakefield.

Realizes that he's spent most of the day at four of the fourteen posts in the UP, and he's not going to complete this trip in two days. Called for the helicopter and flew to three more posts before giving up on the trip because even that was too much.


*edit* Because this is a little local for everyone else, to drive to all 14 state police posts in the district (at that time), it would have taken 13 straight hours of driving. Not including stopping for gas, lunch, or to meet the employees at each post.

I hadn't even considered how much worse having a pre-COVID terminal condition might be. Can't even imagine what Rosie and his wife are going through...

Ever since the “gardeners” went ballistic over Whitmer’s EO and not being able to buy their seeds (though I believe they still can, just not at big box stores?), it has snowed at least six of the eight days.

Yes, everything can be ordered on line. Every little thing. Which can be delivered at home or at the store.

On top of that, I was at an Ace in AA who had piles of dirt in bags outside the store. The kicker is that nobody was allowed into the store. Somehow people are protesting that you can't congregate in sections of big box stores, because stupid, but it's fine that a store does not allow customers even in the door.

There's a 100% chance that this isn't a real need to have access, but a political ones to just ***** about it. And I 200% encourage them to assemble in small areas to protest, with great volume, using your entire lungs. Then go to your back woods, off grid, house, and stay there shooting things for a couple of weeks.

(on a side note, I need stuff for a hydroponic project, but I'll wait until later... not that big of a deal)

It's at this point I am seriously beginning to wonder how much collateral damage there will be to just "open everything up" and let Darwin have his fun.

Basically just let the dumb people run wild for 3 months, while smart people limit contact as much as possible. I know we will lose some on our side, but it's a small price to pay.

More or less this is the toddler still wanting to touch the hot stove after repeated attempts at saying "NO!"... A small part of me would smile at the resulting death and medical bankruptcy among Dumpies

Gee, Donnie's website to find the nearest Covfefe-19 testing location DID cost next to nothing.

Now I may be mistaken, but I believe smaller places like Ace could stay open if they wanted to, right? They just have to limit to 25% capacity?

I just find it funny the huge rallying cry about killing small local business when most of the product limitations only apply to giant corporations. (Not that Ace isn’t also a giant corporation, but they seem to have co-branded with the neighborhood shop in many places).

That's what I read in the actual Executive Order. I even pointed that out (the benefits of smaller stores/companies) to a couple of friends who were spouting off about the big box closures on Facebook, and they promptly shut up.

I had to Google it, but according to Wikipedia, the documented cases were only 3,433 deaths in the United States (and territories). The CDC claims an estimate of 12,469 deaths (range: 8,868–18,306) which would calculate those suspected but never tested. (Gee, that sounds familiar.)


But yes, Your statement is accurate.

One Ace is open, the other is just curbside delivery. Have not driven by the local hardware store in a month, so not sure if they are open or not, but I think they are allowed to be. They support a lot of small subcontractors fixing homes.

While the Ace stores are owned by the same local group, I think they are the ones deciding on the operations of each store.
