I just wonder how much geographic sprawl has helped out our numbers. Outside of our high-population dense cities (where we are seeing similarly high numbers), we're nothing like Europe or Asia.
If I live in NYC and walk a block to the corner store, I encounter orders of magnitude more people than if I leave my current house, drive 10 miles, enter a store and return home. So you have all these social-distance shaming of rural communities, but movement/mobility looks very different depending on your population density. I'm sure this is so obvious that it's figured in the models, but I don't really hear anyone talking about it. |

I'm not sure where to put this, but the packing plant world has some serious rumblings going on in multiple locations. The pack scoured the country and overpaid in multiple regions last week as if they were preparing for something to happen next week. Multiple beef lines are demanding hazard pay and appear to be willing to walk all at once. Multiple pork plants are already scaled back to ~50 of capacity due to worker concerns. If even half of the rumors are true and one side or the other does't cave soon, supply lines could be interrupted while they sort it out.
After seeing how ignorant people got in the last few weeks, it probably wouldn't hurt to put some beef and pork in your freezer if you're getting low and don't want to miss a grilling. |

I try not to be the Alex Jones 'down with the globalists!' type, and since this is the non-political thread, I won't be. But man, the ties between these organizations and the money that funnels into our major news networks from China....criminy. Nah, I'm not having anything to do with anything even tangentially involved with the WHO. Those guys can just eat a whole pile of dicks. |

Just watched the daily press conference from Missouri. There were ZERO reported cases from the state lab today. They are talking about things starting to POSSIBLY flatten out some in Missouri as of now.
