Ugh, no pix of that cute redhead without the stoopit mask?
That’s just plain mean…
Argh. Cases reported per day, 7 day average:
Here's a comic that is more true than funny:
Covid Precaution Level
It's frustrating to calibrate your precautions when there's only one kind of really definitive feedback you can get, you can only get it once, and when you do it's too late.
My country’s president must feel like that, he frequently uses the analogy of adjusting knobs. From a few cases in July (Winter) we spiked the past week to 200-300 daily cases (multiply by 100 to get US equivalent numbers), anything over 100 is not sustainable for contact tracing, now we closed the gyms and if the cases don’t decrease in the following week we may have to turn the knob higher.
Ours go up to 11.
And that’s when the distortion overwhelms the good
Today’s email:
As mentioned elsewhere — the virus seems to be getting around faster. Perhaps it’s being selected for adaption to living in human hosts? Thanks, Darwin.
Well, that’s a big bucket of cold water over the head, for sure. Definitely the pessimistic view.
No disagreement from me. Fox used to be decent, but not any more. They should rename themselves “Fox Lies.”
The thing is, most of the popular conservative television shows tell their viewers exactly what they want to hear, and they usually resort to alternative facts that have no relation to the truth.
cnn.com doesn't do that.
They carefully selects stories that appeal to liberals, but at least the stories are factual.
And, yes, stories from any media source can be, and are, fact checked.
Thank You RC. I despise cable news however your observation agrees with what I have seen. My wife watches CNN and I hear it
I agree.
I agree too.
Wait! That’s four people agreeing on something besides the fact that flashlights are cool. Close the thread now! We need Lightbringer to bring us back to our pleasant discord!
Make it 5…… 
I disagree (whatever it was youse were discussing; I drifted off for a while).
Resume your disorder…
I love it! I knew we could count on you! Let the discord continue!
I just found out my Mom’s breast cancer is back. She’s going to be going in for surgery next week. Then maybe Chemo therapy after that, depending on the tumor analysis after removal. The greatest risk I see in the whole thing is catching Covid while she is weakened. Normally she is is great health, but the surgury will be major. And the whole point of Chemo is to push all your cells to the verge of death so the weakest (cancer) cells die. She can’t get Covid during this. And South Dakota hasn’t been taking it serious.
