    Republican legislature sued the leftie governor to lift the overreaching stay-at-home BS. Yesterday, the state Supreme Court ruled in the R's favor. My home away from home is open again!

    I'd like to see stats on the number of cases of people who got it but never knew they were sick. Willing to bet it's pretty large.

    You'll never see those numbers. That would show this whole circus has been a sham.

    Speaking of kids and the virus,.... A couple of weeks ago I was working out in the driveway and noticed a bunch of vehicles go by that all looked like "teenager rides". Then about two minutes later they all came back by and I noticed one vehicle had a poster board sign that said "Happy Birthday Ryan". I assumed they did a Covid19 drive-by to wish one of their friends a happy birthday. It warmed my heart a little bit.

    Maybe I'm not smart enough but any reasons why the death counts between the Johns Hopkins University Counter and the CDC death counter are way off?

    91,000 vs 67,000

    from the CDC web site you linked to:
    How it works
    The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) uses incoming data from death certificates to produce provisional COVID-19 death counts. These include deaths occurring within the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

    NCHS also provides summaries that examine deaths in specific categories and in greater geographic detail, such as deaths by county, by race and Hispanic origin.

    COVID-19 deaths are identified using a new ICD–10 code. When COVID-19 is reported as a cause of death – or when it is listed as a “probable” or “presumed” cause — the death is coded as U07.1. This can include cases with or without laboratory confirmation.

    Why these numbers are different
    Provisional death counts may not match counts from other sources, such as media reports or numbers from county health departments. Our counts often track 1–2 weeks behind other data.

    Death certificates take time to be completed. There are many steps to filling out and submitting a death certificate. Waiting for test results can create additional delays.
    States report at different rates. Currently, 63% of all U.S. deaths are reported within 10 days of the date of death, but there is significant variation between states.
    It takes extra time to code COVID-19 deaths. While 80% of deaths are electronically processed and coded by NCHS within minutes, most deaths from COVID-19 must be coded by a person, which takes an average of 7 days.
    Other reporting systems use different definitions or methods for counting deaths.
    Things to know about the data
    Provisional counts are not final and are subject to change. Counts from previous weeks are continually revised as more records are received and processed.

    Provisional data are not yet complete. Counts will not include all deaths that occurred during a given time period, especially for more recent periods. However, we can estimate how complete our numbers are by looking at the average number of deaths reported in previous years.

    Death counts should not be compared across states. Some states report deaths on a daily basis, while other states report deaths weekly or monthly. State vital record reporting may also be affected or delayed by COVID-19 related response activities.

    Some states use died because of virus...some states used died with the virus. Our governor, who is a Democrat, has come out and said the latter is used by states to politicize against the current administration.

    Trump said that he is also taking zinc, and that he has taken an initial dose of azithromycin, or Z-Pak.

    WTF? why is he taking a heavy-duty antibiotic if he isn't sick?

    makes sense they would test it on him first.
