It's also true that we simply don't have enough testing to have an accurate picture of what is happening everywhere. At the end of the day, though, a reopening plan has to win the faith of the public by being sustainable, or otherwise, we will just ricochet back and forth between shutting down and reopening.

LOL its like your eyes are disconnected from your keyboard.....you dont know that. Once again, there are states that didnt shut down and their stats are comparable to most others that did with the exception of the worst like NY etc where it was of course horrible.....The reasons for those BAD results are easy to explain....the transit system lol

She said they went INTO her home and Searched it???  

IF some gov't agency came to my house without a warrant and wanted to search my home, they would have to get past the muzzle of my pistol in their faces.

What the HELL is going on in this country? 

What this gal and her family are going through is an outrage, and the problem is these bureaucrats usually have immunity from civil prosecution.

I don't give a damn if the police state wants to overrun this nation, we have ways of responding and this story from what I heard the gal say in the opening minutes of that video is beyond belief. 

Not sure the governor cares one iota as she is nothing more than a pencil pushing bureaucrat at this point.  

Is there some trouble that the governor is now facing??  



 

As of yesterday she has a $14k OSHA fine....The owner of her establishment (the city) is trying to kick her out, the state is trying to find a way to take her kids AND the licensing board is threatening to revoke her and her staffs hair dressing licenses PERMANENTLY.....From what I have seen the Govenor is directly involved and called down all this stuff on her head......

Lets consider the timeline regarding CoVid-19

1/6 CDC issues travel advisory for Wuhan.
1/11 CDC tweets about corona related “pneumonia outbreak in China”
1/14 WHO tweets that there is no evidence of human to human transmission.
1/17 CDC started doing health screenings at 3 airports of travelers from China.
1/21 first case in the US for someone who traveled directly from Wuhan.
1/23 WHO again says no human to human transmission outside of China.
1/27 WHO raises alert level but is still saying China has it contained.
1/28 CDC states “ While CDC considers COVID a serious situation and is taking preparedness measures, the immediate risk in the US is considered low.”
1/29 White House announces Corona virus Task Force created. Note - this is despite the WHO downplaying the threat!

1/31 Trump bans travel from China.
Media and multiple Democrats slam his decision calling it racist/xenophobic.

2/5 Trump acquitted (impeachment).
2/5 Chuck Schumer in a tweet continues to call Trumps’ travel ban from China “premature and racist"
2/7 White House’s Corona virus Task Force gives a press briefing.
2/9 White House Corona virus Task Force meets with all governors regarding the virus.
2/12 CDC waiting for approval from Chinese for CDC team to travel to China.
2/18 HHS announces a partnership to develop a vaccine.
2/21 Italy identifies its very first case in their country.
2/21 CDC tweets that it is working with States for preparedness.
2/24 Trump sent a letter to Congress asking for $25B for virus effort.
2/24 Nancy Pelosi made a stop in Chinatown and encouraged people to “please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.”
2/25 there is still no reported community spread in the US!!! (Per CDC tweet.)
2/27 first community transmission in the US.
2/27 Trump appoints Pence to coordinate efforts.
2/29 FIRST reported Covid19 death in the US.


Mostly compiled via tweets from the CDC and politicians mentioned so verifiable.....

And then this.....

Based on the news regarding events and conditions around the nation

1. The virus is only active at certain times of the day on beaches
2. It can also travel up to 6 feet but it cannot travel 6 feet 1 inch except when it can travel 20 feet or greater
3. It can go thru the air and on all surfaces, except anything that comes in the mail or on groceries you take home or have delivered
4. It doesnt go places like Walmart, Target, Amazon or other large corporations and grocery stores, but it likes bars, small businesses and especially churches where it can travel up to 9 feet if you are in a parked car.
5. The virus cannot live on food taken to go because it can only survives inside the restaurants.

There has been more stupidity from the experts, the government both local and federal, the politicians AND the people than I can recall ever before in my lifetime over a virus with an infinitesimal mortality rate per capita under most conditions.

Just sayin....

To my knowledge since the upgrade of the site software you cannot delete ads confirmed or not. If the ad is not confirmed it doesnt show up in the regular listings and is not searchable. Though it can still be seen if someone visits your profile page and views your ad history.....

Option 1. Ignore it

Option 2. Confirm it and mark it sold

Option 3. Use the edit function and remove all the data followed by 1 or 2

I assume you mean the 2 unconfirmed ads for the C11....appears there is a 3rd ad for it that is marked sold....just pick your poison out of the 3 options listed above....

It does look good for us..... yesterday I reviewed the current data.....out of 159 counties 30 have had no deaths and reported cases of less than 10, 70+ counties have had 5 or less deaths. Out of 159 counties 10 are driving the overall numbers, obviously the metro Atlanta area and a hot spot around Albany Ga in the SW of the state. No apparent spikes as a result of reopening most businesses and we are well past the 14 days which should have resulted in the spikes per predictions by some.....my understanding is most banks are reopening their lobbies this week as well..... one way aisle instructions in grocery stores are still in effect with no indication of plans for passing lanes though. I have my air horn at the ready

In fact where I live "Barrow county" with a population of approx 83,000 has approx 250 confirmed cases give or take a few (dont recall the exact #'s on that) with only 8 deaths and all of those were in 1 elderly care facility. We are just outside the ATL metro area to the east. (Close enough many who live here do work in the metro area)

My home county (Brooks) in S Ga has had 66 confirmed cases out of approx 15,000 population, 9 deaths with 6 of those in one elderly care facility.....

What would you do?

Common sense rules my world....you know what I would do

You seem to be making a habit out of taking jabs at Rich upon every opportunity lately......gotten under your skin has he?

I dunno.....as little as 6 days ago left leaner sources were still talking that way

Wishful thinking....Blaming the Covid and resulting economy on Trump is so disingenuous it is laughable......
