I know it's sad, but I do love that I just learned there was a restaurant chain named "Soup Plantation" Used to hit Souper Salads on occasion back in the day, pretty good stuff.
Hate graphics like this. Cherrypicking data one doesn't like isn't right. The Texas without Houston Data looks surprising like the Dallas data. Texas loosening restrictions may revert the progress Texas has made, but I doubt the progress in April is limited to Houston as I doubt that Dallas is the only problem. Those two areas make up about 1/2 the population and affect statewide data such that it is hard to tell what is going on in smaller areas.
Ist time I've seen rush hour traffic in a quite a while. Happy seeing people going back to normal routine, sad that I have to pay to get on the toll road.
Eh - it's not a prediction. It's just a scenario. And it really doesn't make any sense - it seems very unlikely that cases would go up 8x while deaths "only" go up 2x. Either the cases would be much lower or the deaths would be much higher. That said, the authors of the analysis said this: Update on May 5 at 1:05pm ET: The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health said it prepared the analysis included in the government document, and stressed that it is not a "forecast." "These preliminary analyses were provided to FEMA to aid in scenario planning—not to be used as forecasts—and the version published is not a final version. These preliminary results are not forecasts, and it is not accurate to present them as forecasts," the school said in a statement to CBS News.
Older people are definitely dropping like hotcakes relatively, but I've been talking about for a while, we have no idea what the long term effects will be for this virus, for everyone, including the young and aysmptomatic. We are starting to see stories like this one, like the 5-year-old girl in Michigan who died from brain swelling. We're talking about tens of millions of Americans getting this virus, we know there are signs of long term lung damage, heart damage, and brain damage. "rare" complications start adding up to something devastating really quickly if 50+ million people get this disease.
I haven't really eaten fast food since lock down but was curious to see if Chipotle or Panda Express would be a good option since im craving both? I have a hard time trusting the workers in general so hoping ya'll can give me a positive mindset and finally get some.
