Lol Well, and the fact pandemics almost wiped out the Native populations. Remember history, or we are doomed to repeat it. Dems are really the daffy ones here. As pandemics go, this one isn’t dangerous enough to the population at large for anything close to such an occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Judge Grants Restraining Order to Block Extended Stay-at-Home OrderRepublican State Rep. Darren Bailey of Xenia, Illinois claimed in the lawsuit filed in Clay County Circuit Court that Pritzker exceeded his authority A judge has ruled against Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, issuing a restraining order over the extension of the state’s stay-at-home order, putting the statewide plan in jeopardy. Clay County Circuit Court Judge Michael McHaney ruled against Pritzker's order, granting a restraining order to temporarily block the stay-at-home restrictions set to take effect Friday, according to local reports. "We are certainly going to act in a swift action to have this ruling overturned," Pritzker said in his daily coronavirus press briefing Monday. </snip> 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really not. You sit at the end of the supply chain. You’re quite a bit downstream from Tyson, who sits at the beginning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly better than letting them be surprised. I agree in principle. Just given that our population has shown a propensity for the irrational, I believe announcing that our supply chain is breaking via a media blitz isn't the best course of action. Motivation can be as simple as “we warned you” or avoiding being made a scapegoat by either side of the aisle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding food. there seems to be 2 issues - 1)A minimal restaurant needs. So, for example, high end steakhouse Ringside in Portland is selling their steaks to the public. Kegs of beer going to waste. 2) At the beginning of the chain workers get the Wuhan flu and it affects production. I read an article about a month ago about the wood product industry. Socially distant loggers were still working as usual but the need at the end of the chain was disrupting the rest of the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 DON’T BE A SCIENCE DENIER: Science says it’s time to start easing the lockdowns. Related: Do Lockdowns Save Many Lives? In Most Places, the Data Say No. To normalize for an unambiguous comparison of deaths between states at the midpoint of an epidemic, we counted deaths per million population for a fixed 21-day period, measured from when the death rate first hit 1 per million—e.g.,‒three deaths in Iowa or 19 in New York state. A state’s “days to shutdown” was the time after a state crossed the 1 per million threshold until it ordered businesses shut down. We ran a simple one-variable correlation of deaths per million and days to shutdown, which ranged from minus-10 days (some states shut down before any sign of Covid-19) to 35 days for South Dakota, one of seven states with limited or no shutdown. The correlation coefficient was 5.5%—so low that the engineers I used to employ would have summarized it as “no correlation” and moved on to find the real cause of the problem. (The trendline sloped downward—states that delayed more tended to have lower death rates—but that’s also a meaningless result due to the low correlation coefficient.) No conclusions can be drawn about the states that sheltered quickly, because their death rates ran the full gamut, from 20 per million in Oregon to 360 in New York. You don’t say. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
