Well, Arizona is peaking now. ICUs full-up.

And the conventional wisdom is - it takes roughly 14 days to manifest a spread of the virus. So two weeks after each of these days of crowds - YIKES!

And she's right - AGAIN.

Won't ever get tired of that particular definition of "winning."

And she got more votes than you did, donald. You couldn't even steal more votes. Had to take the Electoral College short-cut with some help from your "friends." ("Friendskis"?)

The Daily Dread - Tracking the spread, 6/9/20

All times Pacific, source: Johns Hopkins/NBC News

I started with a look back - to Saturday's (6/6/20) numbers, then yesterday's (Monday, 6/8/20). There were no numbers available Sunday, 6/7/20, at least while I was able to watch and make note:

Here's where we were on Saturday, June 6th -
At 8:34am
Confirmed cases worldwide - 6,748,150
Deaths worldwide - 395,604
Confirmed cases US - 1,908,052
Deaths US - 109,764

That's the only reading I saw that day.


Compare:

Yesterday, June 8th -
At 12:02pm - domestic data
Confirmed cases US - 1,957,419
Deaths US - 111,279
AND
Deaths worldwide - 403,369


TODAY, June 9th -
At 2:50pm - domestic data, again
Confirmed cases US - 1,979,463
Deaths US - 112,234

What's also valuable here is the rate of increase in the amount of time. Roughly a thousand more deaths between yesterday early afternoon and mid-afternoon today, according to this. In a time frame of slightly more than 24 hours. And more than twenty-thousand additional cases in that time frame.

True! That's the first thought that crossed my mind.

I had to read down into it to realize what was really being communicated here.

I was all set to take umbrage. But I soon realized otherwise.

June 9, 2020

Painful to read. But very good to take in.

Thank you for posting this, Heartstrings.

WOW!

That is COOL! A message to the cosmos!

I hope that street has been blocked off enough to be pedestrians/bicycles-only.

It should be sequestered from cars and trucks. It should be a special, permanent public walkway with some park benches and decorative plantings. And a bronze plaque memorializing how the inscription on the street came to be.

And another kick!

June 9, 2020

Yep! That's what I thought, too, she.

Sue his ass.

Pelt him with so many lawsuits that he can’t grift fast enough to cover all the ensuing legal bills.

Bankrupt him with legal bills.

Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
