The latest comments that i am hearing from Trump supporters here in "2/3 Trump Support Land" indicate that a lot of them plan to refuse getting the vaccine when it becomes available.

To bad it doesn't just kill the willfully ignorant. Maybe they could genetically engineer some to do so.......If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

After several days w/o a new record, another new record on Thursday: 192,186 new cases according to WorldoMeters.
Also, a new record for current CV-19 hospitalizations: 80,698, but that record is pretty much being broken every day.
Edit: 187,428 cases according to NY Times.Last edited by rhd; 11-20-2020, 09:32 PM.Comment

97% of these anti-masker fuckers are going to live to tell us all it was a hoax, becoming the modern day equivalent to holocaust deniers. Makes me sick to think about.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."Comment

The CFR has hovered at around 1.8% since coming off the early peak around 5-6% in April. We're at 125,000 cases per day now. That means that daily deaths are going to average at least 2200 or so in a few weeks. And if daily cases keep going up, as they seem to be doing, then eventually the daily deaths are going to go even higher than that.
This is a Twitter thread that says basically the same thing I just said and puts some evidence behind it:

Will be interesting to see what Biden's plan is and how it is implemented.
The notion of Biden shutting down the economy was a repeated talking point from President Donald Trump's campaign.
After Biden repeated he would not pursue a national shutdown, he said "every region, every area, every community can be different."
"And so there's no circumstance which I can see that would require a total national shutdown," Biden said. "I think that would be counterproductive."---------------------------------------------

So No antigens, Negative Covid test--means we've been doing it right/lucky so far. BUT now we have decided to cancel Thanksgiving, too risky to travel to Vegas right now. The kids were disappointed, but understanding.

What was it about the travel that made you decide not to go?
FWIW we're travelling to the same place we stayed during the initial lockdowns, and quarantining ourselves there if we go - we'd be in a different place, but still being careful like we are here.Comment

My coworker from back east is in Vegas because his father was in the hospital (non-covid related) and he just passed away this morning. Was ready to drive the 10 hours down so he had someone to hang with over the next few days while he got things sorted out, but fortunately his brother is flying in.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...Comment
