Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for COVID-19 in prison.

Due to the board’s newly murky hate speech rules, I’ll refrain from commenting any further on that one...

Rand Paul used the Senate gym and pool this morning despite knowing he may have coronavirus.

Hmmmm.... seems like a pretty crappy thing to do.

WTF
Why was that pool open?

Rand Paul is also at an elevated risk for complications of coronavirus. He has a damaged lung, and had surgery to remove part of his lung in August 2019.

She is allowing a lifting of the 50 person assembly limit penalty for churches.

You are lucky it is fifty, in Nevada the limit is ten.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

In Germany, the limit is now 2 except for family.

Talk about irony
Rand Paul was stoking ebola mania in 2014 but downplayed the recent virus
Regardless
I hope he develops no symptoms because if the sh*t gets real, he may be a goner

I'm suspecting pundits saying the next week or two will be a new stage of worse, are right. People running out of money who don't have jobs, but still have bills and will need to buy food again and are trying to figure out how to budget smaller amounts for an unknown amount of time.

Plus death rates will continue to rise.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Friends in the know say Florida will be the next disaster area, Young healthies traded spit while the virus was still not showing effects on them in droves. Now they are returning to their homes to spread it to their parents. Florida was pathetically behind the times in social distancing, etc. My son is hunkered down in Gainesville. A few positives in his county....

If by death rates you mean the percentage that have the disease die, I don't think that will rise, but if you mean the overall all number of deaths in a given total population, then absolutely.
New York City I think now has 6% of all the cases WORLDWIDE.
Cousin has apartment near Wall Street. Doorman building. She now gets groceries delivered. As do most of the tenants. She says he de facto touches all the packages. If he gets sick he could pass it on to hundreds.
NYC surpassed 100 dead today.

Hmm, according to worldwide tracking, Russia has had zero deaths from the virus. Ya think so?
