Meanwhile we'll continue fumbling around in the dark to risk running into nothing or a forever pit.

Father-in-law most likely has it. All the sudden on Monday he got really tired high fever lost taste and smell. Test results came back negative but it seems extremely unlikely it would be anything else. He cares for my immunosuppressed mother-in-law in a wheelchair, so social distancing fully Is not an option nor can he fully rest or nothing in the household happens including food

my form of employment is photographing horses at horse shows with between 100 and 500 horses and probably 700-1000 ppl altogether.

One of the biggest ones round in Kentucky shut down suddenly on Saturday. There were four positive cases and naturally everybody assumed all sorts of terrible things about the people who had it and how they were putting their jobs and personal interests ahead of safety.

in reality they caught the symptomatic person right away and asked to entire Barns to leave which they did. Problems iearlier in the week they kicked somebody out of the barn who then went to another barn and that individual refused to leave and threatened legal action if they were discriminated against and forced to leave the show without every other person at the show also being banned.

So the show shut down and sent all people home and just canceled their even bigger event next week, which is pony finals. Which doesn't really require explanation but just imagine a year-long set of qualifiers all over the country for just little kids on ponies and imagine how enormous this is for it to be cancelled.

spoke with my lawyer since many of the people at that show are now at this one, and his answer is basically there's no precedent for this legally and so there's no way to give any real advice about liability or anything along those lines. Which will make this absolute open season any minute now for America as a whole

Sounds like DeWine has COVID.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine tested positive for the coronavirus on Thursday before he was supposed to greet President Donald Trump.

DeWine took a COVID-19 test as part of the protocol to meet Trump on the tarmac at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland. Trump planned to tour the Whirlpool plant in Clyde, Ohio, before attending a private fundraiser in Bratenahl.

DeWine, 73, has no symptoms at the present time, according to a news release. He is returning to Columbus where he and First Lady Fran DeWine will both be tested.

This chart shows the seven-day-moving-average (SDMA) fatality rate, based on fatalities happening on average a week after diagnosis...shifting that point earlier or later will obviously alter the rates but fairly insignificantly. I loaded all the cases on worldometers from March 27th up through yesterday to determine daily case SDMAs from Apr 2nd onward. I then divided the death SDMA for a given day by the case SDMA for the previous same weekday...a death SDMA for a Tuesday was divided by the case SDMA for the previous Tuesday, etc., to give me the fatality rate for that day. With the significant rise in cases up through about two weeks ago I expected to also see a delayed rise in deaths (which I did). However, I also expected to see the fatality rate either decrease, or at absolute worst, remain flat. What has happened there has been an actual increase--albeit slight--in the fatality rate. The lowest fatality rate was 1.24% on Jul 6th, exactly a month ago. Since then it has crept up to about 1.67% or so, around which it has remained for the last four days. Still way lower than the early stages of the outbreak, but not as low as I had expected/hoped.

The dude responsible for mandating all kinds of Draconian measures early on supposedly to keep the virus from spreading, and lecturing 11.7M people about wearing masks, social-distancing, et al, ends up getting it himself.
He’s been following all of his own rules.

He only did what medical professionals told him to do.

You can’t fix a stupid populace.
