  1. Biden has one VP pick that stands above the rest Sen. Elizabeth Warren. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/18/opinions/biden-vp-pick-stands-above-the-rest-zelizer/index.html Would make sense to get Sanders supporters
  2. Trump calls protesters against stay-at-home orders 'very responsible' Donald Trump has posted highly incendiary tweets stoking protests against physical distancing and other coronavirus stay-at-home measures in three states led by Democratic governors. “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!” the US president wrote in capital letters on Friday. “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” He followed up with a third tweet: “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!” – a reference to Virginia’s governor, Ralph Northam, last week signing into law new measures on gun control. His latest provocative interventions followed demonstrations against stay-at-home orders in Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and other states that have drawn elements of the far right. Some protesters have carried guns, waved Trump and Confederate flags and sought to frame the debate as a defence of constitutional freedoms. They have been egged on by conservative media hosts such as Fox News’s Jeanine Pirro, who said: “What happened in Lansing [Michigan] today, God bless them: it’s going to happen all over the country.” https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/17/trump-liberate-tweets-coronavirus-stay-at-home-orders As of 2020 there are 26 Republican governors. Hey go for it , lead the way back to normal

  5. Coronavirus: Japan doctors warn of health system 'break down' as cases surge Doctors in Japan have warned that the country's medical system could collapse amid a wave of new coronavirus cases. Emergency rooms have been unable to treat some patients with serious health conditions due to the extra burden caused by the virus, officials say. One ambulance carrying a patient with coronavirus symptoms was turned away by 80 hospitals before he could be seen. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52336388
  6. The damage China has done to the world is catastrophic . The very least they could have done is not charge for PPE , ventilators and related meds.
  7. The small hospital where I live have 60 on lay off , dentist emergencies only. When this started it was to save PPE for metro NYC Once they have enough stock and low volume covid they should restart.
  8. The main thing is not to overwhelm the hospitals in a hot spot.
  9. If that is the best he can do with Winston maybe a 6th rd for a one year trial.
  10. How many people die in New York every day? In 2015 there were 153,623 That comes to 420.88 a day with heart disease and cancer as leading causes. As for New York city, with a figure of one death every 9.1 minutes (2015) per Population Facts then that translates into, 6.59.3 deaths per hour x 24 = 158.23 a day and thus 57,753.95 a year. year for New York city. https://www.quora.com/How-many-people-die-in-New-York-every-day
  11. 1387 yds rushing 4.8 yds avg 116 rec 1005 yds 19 td in 2019 he sure is worth it
  12. Jay also teases big national news that he'll break Wednesday on FS1's "FOX Football Now" at 8:00pmPT/11:00pmET.
  13. Of course they are not the same , just a statement of fact
  14. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that from April 12, 2009 to April 10, 2010, there were 60.8 million cases, 274,000 hospitalizations, and 12,469 deaths (range: 8,868–18,306) in the United States due to the virus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_swine_flu_pandemic_in_the_United_States H1N1 swine flu pandemic Last updated: April 14, 2020, 19:35 GMT United States Coronavirus Cases: 605,354 Deaths: 25,394 https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
  15. Lets see what the economy and budget deficit looks like in Nov
  16. New York Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner died Tuesday in Florida. He was 63 from Longstanding Health Issue George A. King III and Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported Steinbrenner suffered from a "lengthy illness." MLB Network's Jon Heyman noted it was a "liver issue." Steinbrenner was named a co-chairperson of the league's most valuable franchise in 2008 along with his brother, Hal Steinbrenner. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2886537-yankees-co-owner-hank-steinbrenner-dies-at-63-from-longstanding-health-issue?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_medium=referral
  17. If China wanted to harm the world it would make more sense to release it far from China. The one theory was someone from the lab there sold test animals to that market.
  18. Jameis Winston undergoes LASIK eye surgery Few operations could fit Winston better. Just months after he became the first quarterback to throw 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions, Winston had his eyesight fixed. Likely gone are the photos of Winston squinting on the sideline, which often became memes. Perhaps the interceptions won't be as frequent, too. There's no telling how much such an operation might help the nearsighted Winston. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001101946/article/jameis-winston-undergoes-lasik-eye-surgery Some team could get lucky with him at a reasonable price.
  19. Yep I still have the old flip phone $7 a month. Keep turned off unless I need to make a call away from home. Desktop computer and cable TV for all the rest. Oh and landline phone
  20. At the Wal Mart here electronics , garden and the auto service are closed so those workers can stock shelves , keep disinfecting . Maybe they have some workers out sick or small kids at home due to schools closed. (I'm in Lockport,NY) My wife is the gardener and gets all her seeds online every year.
  21. Representatives from On Fire Christian Church said they have been hosting drive-in services in the church parking lot for weeks and wanted to host one on Sunday for Easter. On Fire Christian Church representatives said all cars are parked 6 feet apart, and church members stay in their vehicles during services. https://www.wdrb.com/news/louisville-church-to-sue-mayor-greg-fischer-for-not-allowing-drive-in-services-during-pandemic/article_556a9592-7b79-11ea-bf34-77d40680c1a6.html I watch Mass from my church online Sundays . Trump said he would do the same Easter watching a service from Dallas. It's safe and comfortable for a short time of the closings not permanent.
  22. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/index.html Despite the large amount of knowledge that has been gained about SARS-CoV following the outbreak, there are still no vaccines or antivirals approved for preventing or treating SARS-CoV infections. Struck 2003 At this time, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for MERS. Struck 2013-14 https://www.bcm.edu/departments/molecular-virology-and-microbiology/emerging-infections-and-biodefense/sars-virus Not sure if the Sars and Mers still has no vaccine
  23. Hot spots need to stay closed beyond May 1 , especially metro NYC. It could be up to governors in less hit areas after May 1 , they will get credit or the blame if it goes bad.
  24. I would guess not enough testing for those recovering at home.
