Looking at Worldometer, resolved U.S. cases are at about 132,000...

That is both recovery and deaths.

I checked the graph. The US reached that level of known cases around 28-30 march. That was around 6 to 7 weeks ago. I've seen that severe cases could be about a six week slog either way.

The U.S. currently stands at about 849,000 known cases. About 717,000 of those cases are yet to be resolved.

Of the 132,000 currently resolved cases, 36% are deaths.

Current levels of known are after current peaks of testing--where we are only testing those who show symptoms and need monitoring, care, or hospitalization.

If we take the 717,000 unresolved, we could be at over 175,000 by the second week of June--and that's calculating at 20% mortality.

We'll certainly blow by 65,000 by July, let alone by August.

This perhaps only occurs if current known cases are mostly composed of mid-level symptomatic and above patients.

Talk me down.

I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but every now and then I get hooked.

Rihanna is one. Ellie Goulding is another. I think Dua Lipa is one of the better ones, too. She has a cool voice.

Can this be a Voted March 17th thread?

I voted for Joe about 7 am. Light traffic. Local Starbucks open for grab and go.

Edited to add Chicago, IL.

Over the weekend...

a couple of hearts floated in to join the other. Thanks for the company and kind thoughts.

Thank You!

Iowa Shmiowa...

I know who I am going to vote for. That might change. I may vote for Amy by the time the campaign gets to Illinois' CLOSED PRIMARY.

The disaster is for Iowans and Iowans alone. Shrug it off, Democrats. Let the media have their kerfuffle. You might as well design an app for the Amish to make butter better.

But that said, I think that the campaigns should be nonchalant about it and just say. "Well, I think the Iowa caucus has seen its day. You can't shoe horn some Gen-Xer's side gig into a barn dance."

Treat yourself to a nice lunch, Dems.

Feeling the Christmas Spirit

Kicking it off with Emmylou

I saw them in February. Teresa!

I love Kamala.

That is all.
