Coronavirus Cases: 784,440
Deaths 37,781
Recovered 165,387

Major updates:

-Trump backed down on opening up the country by Easter and extended it till at least April 30.
-Several deadlines to resume other things around the country were further extended.
-Trump started floating the idea that he would quarantine NY, NJ and Connecticut to contain the virus. NY governor Andrew Cuomo responded by saying that something like that would be a federal declaration of war on the states. Trump dialed back on that idea.
-Rhode Island's governor, Gina Raimondo announced that RI will be stopping all cars that enter RI with New York License plates and the National Guard will assist in "hunting down" New Yorkers by going house to house to find them and put them in mandatory 14 day quarantine. NY governor Andrew Cuomo blasted back by saying he would sue if this was not reconsidered ASAP since it's unconstitutional.
- The FDA approved hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine to treat the virus but there are no clinical trials or firm evidence yet that it helps.
-The US now has over 150k cases with over 2800 deaths. NY State has over 66k with over 1200 dead. NYC alone has over 36k cases with around 800 deaths.

565 deaths today. 3,148 dead total. Death rate rising to 1.9% from 1.4%. This is why I told people not to get optimistic when the numbers seemed lower. The worst is yet to come.

So in my town in the STL Metro East the manager of one of the town's grocery stores started showing symptoms of the virus. Idiot worked a couple days before developing a fever and FINALLY self isolated. He's in the same boat as my wife and I though and not sick enough for IL to give a damn about and test, but him working while showing symptoms probably infected a fuckton of people.

Dear ----,
Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick shocked viewers on March 23rd when he told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that lots of grandparents would be willing to die from the coronavirus to save their grandchildren from another Great Depression. It sounded like a Coffin Campaign to a lot of Texas retirees.
The Texas Alliance of Retired Americans (TARA) is launching a Virtual Cough-In Campaign to commemorate the Lt. Governors upcoming 70th birthday on
April 4. TARA is urging everyone to phone or message the Lt. Governor about this dangerously false dichotomy between health and the economy. We would like you and your organization to join us and let Dan Patrick know that his stand is not acceptable!
Please Join TARA and other organizations in this fight.
Pick up your phone. Dial one of these two numbers:
The Texas Lt. Governor Message Line: (512) 463-5342
The Texas Lt. Governor Office Line: (512) 463-0001
You can also post a message for the Lt. Governor on his website.
Go to https://www.ltgov.state.tx.us
Scroll down to Contact the Lieutenant Governor to enter your message.
Below are TARAs suggested scripts timed for a 30 second message. There is one script for each day beginning Monday March 30 throughFriday April 3. Please urge members of your groups or organization to call or message the Lt. Governor daily with that days script.
Feel free to tailor each script for grandparents and their grandchildren, retirees and those working essential jobs, and for all the parents at home with their children doing their part to keep a virulent microbe from overwhelming our health care system.
Since this is a Virtual Cough-In, begin your call with a cough or clear your throat and then read the script. If you have a chance to talk to a human, please be nice. The person on the other end of the line is probably a state employee working from home with children running around.
Monday March 30
As a senior I am horrified that you would offer up my life for the sake of the stock market and the 1%. We are valuable, productive, and vital to our families and communities, and not the only ones at risk from Covid 19 as nearly 50% of those affected are in their 20s and 30s. If you choose not to represent, serve, and safeguard the health and well-being of all your constituents you should resign.

Tuesday March 31
We need to use Medicaid expansion in Texas to fight the Coronavirus. This would allow us to cover another 1.6 million people and get another $114 billion to fund our hospitals over the next 10 years. Science tells us that to defeat the Coronavirus you have to monitor and treat the entire population. Medicaid expansion is a critical necessity for helping us to win this fight.

Wednesday April 1
If the population of Texas over 65 takes your lead and dies for the Dow this is what happens: The loss of 3.7 million Texans would cost our state almost 8.5 billion dollars annually. Thats only based on a median income. That would certainly turn our Texas House and Senate Blue! April Fool! Nah! We would rather live and turn Texas Blue! Why dont you resign?
Thursday April 2
Covid-19 affects people of all ages. Medical experts warn that ending stay at home restrictions any time soon will accelerate the spread of this deadly virus and put thousands, if not millions of Americans at risk, especially seniors and other vulnerable members of our population. It wont be possible for hospitals to treat an overwhelming influx of patients as there simply arent enough beds, personnel, or supplies available.

Friday April 3
If Texans over 65 follow your lead it would definitely change the voice of the United States Congress. There are 48 senators and 147 representatives 65 and older. Based on current events, I think it quite likely that this could turn both houses of Congress and Texas Blue. I am ready for a Blue America starting right here at home, how about you Dan?
You can also see the scripts each day at this Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/taraaustintexas/
For more information please visit these Texas Alliance for Retired Americans pages:
https://www.facebook.com/TexasRetirees/
https://texas.retiredamericans.org/
We look forward to working with you and your members on this campaign. If possible we would appreciate an approximate number of calls made by your organization so we can assess the effectiveness of our efforts. Please contact Judy Bryant with any questions and thanks for your help.
In solidarity,
Anthony (Tony) Padilla

the cheaper grocery store in town still has lines to go in. They've only been letting a few people in at a time and i guess upon entry they need to wipe their hands, after they leave carts are immediately given back and sanitized. I drove by it today and there were people line up around the building with carts. The line almost wrapped around itself. i went to the other grocery store. Paid a little more, but it was worth not having to wait the estimated 2-3 hours.

I'd ask what store but I'm in St. Louis County, so chances are I haven't been there. Not that it's reassuring since the county has the most cases in MO.

<quote>The University of Minnesota and Mayo Clinic are close to unveiling antibody tests that can determine if people have already been infected by the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and are no longer threats to get or spread the infection.</quote>
Would determine if re-infection is possible, or if it's basically like chicken pox

The STL Metro East (St Clair and Madison counties especially) is the 2nd hottest spot in IL after Chicago so I think it's only a matter of time before STL proper gets hit.

If our social distancing proves to be effective and we don't stop too soon, then we should at least be able to get it back down to manageable levels by summer. Of course if we just stop social distancing the numbers will start rising quickly again, so we would need some kind of strategy before we just reopen everything.

Idiots in FL are still hanging out at the beach. Idiots in NYC are hanging out at parks and hitting illegal speakeasys. We're not getting a handle on the outbreak anytime soon.

should be banning all air travel to/from those areas until we can get the problem fixed if everything turns to normal despite those places.
there's hope for the west coast to combat this.

The second the west coast curbs it though some moron from a State that isn't taking the outbreak seriously will create another round of infections.

California and Washington are still getting slammed but Oregon seems to be doing something right.

Friday: 98 cases
Satirday and Sunday: 68 cases both days
Today: 58 cases

685 cases total, 16 deaths.

The rains have driven people back into their homes. I'm not saying we're out of the woods but I doubt we'll get even close to Washington levels.

Now only if we can close the border with California.

@Vengeance29
I have four suggestions. #1 Try holding your breath until you feel like working. #2 (Outside of work hours) jot down some ideas or find some on the internet. Search under procrastinate. #3 Have a timer go off to remind you that you should be working. #4 Wear a tie, tight shoes and sit up straight.
