Went to go to Target today.
Line all the way down the sidewalk filled with people 2 feet or less apart.
Went to Albertsons. Same thing.
Went to Walmart. Same thing.

So if I stand in a line with a bunch of people I won't catch corona. But if I am inside with those same people I will absolutely catch corona and die.

I wish people could logic and critically think.


I refuse to stand in line so I went to Smiths. Walked right in.
People had more distance between them than anyone in any of the lines I have seen.

But I did see some stupid a$$ S#!+

Woman in a mask, bare hands, touches every single watermelon on the display. Then taps each one. Then starts tapping random ones.
Her doofy husband, also in a mask, plays drums on every fruit in the whole display.

Everyone was on their phone at some point. So they touched a bunch of crap everyone else touched and then touched the thing they never wash, put on their face, and touch constantly.


If corona was a fraction as contagious as they said, the entire country would be infected and 30 million would be dead already.

The constant wretching over the infectiousness of this thing defies all logic.

The same people vulnerable to this could easily have succumbed to influenza A and nobody would blink an eye over it.

Once the Western Bloc (California, Washington etc) decide to start re-opening,
Las Vegas will do the same. Sort of inevitable.

They're shopping for TP (...or lottery tickets) with 12 freshly printed hundred dollar bills in their pockets.

The line thing started days ago.
The people everywhere started about 2 days after the lockdown.

Nevada doesn't have a lottery.

1,000+ dead just in NY yesterday, 2,700+ in the US. It is going to be worse than a bad flu year.

Source?

CDC data shows 1919 Total deaths from COVID-19 for New York State and 4,483 for New York City as of 4/11, which is the latest report.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/COVID19/

NYC data show 13 deaths for 4/15 which is the latest data available, although probably incomplete. The last day that looks any semblance of complete is 4/13 with 279 reported deaths from COVID-19.

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page

Again, an average of 440 people die in NYC every single day of the year. Your numbers don't add up.

I also wish to point out that we are nowhere near NYC. Something like 2400 miles away. We may as well be living in a completely different country if not even a different continent. Viral outbreaks are regional.

1919 for New York State and 4483 for New York City.... isn't New York City in New York State?
