There was some spit flying but, I think mostly it was snow flakes coming in through a window or sun roof.
EDIT: Oh man, I just looked at it full screen. Now I know how the refs felt when Cowher went off.

Don't forget that the state of NY slaps a surcharge (tax) on all hospital bills. They are paid 9.63% of whatever the hospital is due to receive. So if the payment goes up, their sick tax goes up as well.

Corona media hype!
Bill Maher crosses over to the good side once again.
Aside from the couple digs on Trump a great video on corona media hype!
On one thing I must disagree... the pubic hair was not as scary looking as the virus.

The one thing that I learned from Maher was eye opening.
The fact that 99,000 people die each year of hospital infections.
1.7 million Americans develop hospital-acquired infections each year, and 99,000 die of HAIs annually. Three-fourths of the infections start in places like nursing homes and doctors' offices. The economic burden to the U.S. may be as high as $45 billion per year.Jul 27, 2013
Time to open this country back up.

That number will be way down during this lockdown. Elective surgeries on hold, plus no hospital visits from traffic accidents, workplace accidents, bar fights, sports injuries, etc.

Taking into account deaths only, and if my calculations are correct, 17,000 people die each month from auto accidents, workplace accidents, and hospital infections combined
People die???? Holy Hell, shut everything down, break out the bubble wrap....Don't do a f'n thing!!,,,In other words, if you have not done so already, please stop living now, for the sake of humanity.

Demonstrators could be seen holding up signs that read, “Liberate Huntington Beach,” “Open Cali Now,” “Let us work,” “”Pandemics does not cancel our constitutional rights!!”
“We’re here in defiance of Gavin Newsom and his socialist agenda to ruin our economy,” one of dozens anti-stay-at-home protestors in Huntington Beach today said. “We’re definitely not practicing social distancing, which is all right in my book.”

Taking their cue from college spring breakers a month ago. What could go wrong?
Given antibody testing is showing that infections out there are 85% higher than thought, meaning this virus is about as deadly as the flu....not much.
Hey...can you show me the spring breakers CV-19 deaths report?
One bonus, we could get this country going again, something you would prefer to wait until November to do I'm guessing.
Hmmmm....
Trump Says He’ll End Obama-Era Funding To Chinese Lab That May Have Spawned The Coronavirus
https://dailycaller.com/2020/04/18/donald-trump-end-funding-china-lab-coronavrus-covid-19/
President Donald Trump said Friday he will end federal funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology that some are claiming spawned the coronavirus.
At the daily coronavirus task force news conference, the president was asked why the National Institutes of Health would include the Chinese laboratory in a $3.7 million dollar stipend to conduct research.
“We will end the grant very quickly. It was granted quite a while ago. They were granted a substantial amount of money. We are going to look at it and take a look. But I understand it was a number of years ago. When did you hear the grant was made?”
The reporter informed the president that the funding was from 2015.
Trump noted the date and asked, “2015. Who was president then? I wonder.”
Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz raised the issue of the funding earlier this week during an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
“I’m against funding Chinese research in our country, but I’m sure against funding it in China. The NIH gives this $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, they then advertise that they need coronavirus researchers and following that coronavirus erupts in Wuhan,” Gaetz explained.

Influential coronavirus model reduces Florida's projected deaths by over 70%
A major coronavirus model on Friday radically revised downward the number of expected COVID-19 deaths in Florida, painting a relatively optimistic picture for the state even as its governor had earlier received criticism for refusing to lock it down until the beginning of April.
The "Murray Model," developed by scientists out of the University of Washington and repeatedly cited by White House officials over the course of the pandemic, had earlier this week projected 4,748 deaths from the coronavirus through August. On Friday the scientists in charge of the model sharply downgraded those estimates, now projecting a total of 1,363 deaths over the course of the spring and summer.
That revision, which represents a 71 percent total reduction in the number of expected deaths, comes after experts and pundits predicted a catastrophic death toll from Florida's relatively late stay-at-home order. While many states instituted strict lockdowns from early to mid-March, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis refused to do so in his own state until early April, leading Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to slam DeSantis for not taking "science-based action" to the outbreak.

Top coronavirus model significantly lowers total estimates of US deaths in new projection
A key coronavirus model has lowered its estimate of total U.S. deaths in its latest projection of how many will die due to the contagious virus.
The revision will likely fuel criticism from skeptics that initial projections were overblown, and one that government leaders may use to say that efforts to combat the spread are working.
The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) lowered its projection of total deaths from 68,841 (with an estimate range of 30,188 to 175,965) to just over 60,308 (with an estimate range of 34,063 to 140,381) in an update published Friday.
The institute said that change was partially driven by both higher estimates in states like New York and New Jersey, and lower projections in states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, Georgia and Florida.
“By incorporating the trend in cases alongside COVID-19 deaths in our model, many locations are now predicted to have longer peaks and are taking longer to move down the epidemic curve to zero deaths,” a statement from the institute said. “Subsequently, these places now have higher projections for cumulative COVID-19 deaths through the first wave.”
The projection is significantly lower than prior estimates from the IHME, which last month was predicting 84,000 deaths from the virus.

For those questioning the inflated death numbers and case numbers, Ohio is being very transparent on their use of the new diagnostic criteria. If all State are doing similar I have no problem with these numbers looking at Ohio's.
Ohio has 11,602 total cases reported, 11,292(97%) of those are from testing and 310(3%) are from the expanded case definition.
Ohio has 471 total deaths reported, 453(96 %) confirmed and 18(4%) are from the expanded death definition.
This looks absolutely reasonable to me. I can't vouch for other States but it seems to not be a big issue.

Did you look at the Key Metrics page? Yeah, there's definitely a problem with how they are calculating.

60-69 - 16% rate
70-79 - 26% rate

Demonstrators could be seen holding up signs that read, “Liberate Huntington Beach,” “Open Cali Now,” “Let us work,” “”Pandemics does not cancel our constitutional rights!!”
“We’re here in defiance of Gavin Newsom and his socialist agenda to ruin our economy,” one of dozens anti-stay-at-home protestors in Huntington Beach today said. “We’re definitely not practicing social distancing, which is all right in my book.”

Fight the power! Bring back our society.
I’ll say this. When my boys come back. I’m taking a couple paid days off to relax. Lol.
This essential stuff is starting to wear me down a bit.

I'm over all of this crap. I'm over working like a dog waiting for it to come back. I've been drunk with exhaustion for a week. Some days I roll in with zero sleep. It certainly made me find my limit after 10 days in zombieland..haha. I was thinking one month,now it's another month.
When the wife gets all of her buisness locations open again I'll be happy. Looks like the middle of may right now.
You see nothing wrong with the mortality rate?
Age groups:
40-49 - 2% rate
50-59 - 6% rate
60-69 - 16% rate
70-79 - 26% rate
80+ - 49% rate
Those are NOT the mortality rates. Those are over-inflated, bullshit numbers missing the undetected cases, that may be as high as 10-20x each detected case.
You wanna try to convince anyone that the mortality rate is 26% for those 70-79?
People are beginning to get hungry.

MIAMI BEACH FOOD BANKS
MILE-LONG LINE OF CARS WAITING ...
In Between Luxury Hotels
https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/18/one-mile-long-line-of-cars-waiting-food-bank-miami-luxury-hotels/
Talk about a Norman Rockwell painting idea come to life -- a parade of cars filled with hungry people in Miami ... smack dab in the middle of two of the city's ritziest hotels.
Check out this surreal scene down in Miami Beach, where a MILE-long line of cars were arranged in a giant U-curve in between the W Hotel and Setai Hotel -- two of MB's most high-end go-to spots for celebrity out-of-towners ... like Kim K, Justin Bieber and more.
The organizers -- made up of lifeguards and other volunteers -- set up shop in a parking lot bordering both hotels, and the line went all the way down the street and likely around the next block or two. As for the location ... it was probably more practical than commentary.
The main street that leads to the beachfront facilities is Collins Ave. -- and it's a long, straight shot for a good while (probably a few miles or so) before any major turns or weird corners. The folks there must've felt this would be the easiest way to get people in and out without causing too much of a traffic jam or taking up too many neighboring streets.
Still, whether they were trying to send a message or not ... the juxtaposition of desperate, poor families flocking to a food bank right next to a rich-person pit stop in the Sunshine State, should've been looked at a bit more. It's kinda bad optics ... but so be it.
Hotels are hurting right now too -- and something tells us these two 4-star and 5-star hotels don't have their usual clientele filling their suites at the moment. Strange times, indeed.

Well I will admit it is confusing but this is actually the percentage of deaths by age group not the mortality rate. I see what you are saying now but that isn't what this chart is showing at all. It adds up to 99% with 1% unknown and shows the number of deaths by age.
Someone did not do a good job understanding the chart Tim.
