When it really happens: SHTF...

The models said PA would peak at 36 deaths per day, well we had over 100 yesterday which shoots that theory down. The problem is, they are labeling things Covid even when they know they weren't Covid now. 2 deaths in a county near where my parents live were listed as Covid and the staff knew it wasn't Covid. So there's that.

We now have a live update of every available hospital bed, ICU bed, Isolation bed and ventilator in the state available to look at. We aren't anywhere close to capacity anywhere in the state including Philadelphia.

At the National level, it is looking like end of April will be the opening of at least parts of the country. The media of course is arguing against this, they act like it means going back to normal. They call it the end of social distancing. In reality, there is not reason to end social distancing at all. Just open the businesses back up, end the stay at home orders. People can continue to wear masks and social distance and be aware of their and their coworkers heath and act accordingly.

The "newest" controversy and I use quotes because it's a never ending controversy here and I'm somewhat amazed it took this long before it came up is racial disparities in infection and death rates with minorities. The claim as usual is that blacks and Hispanics are being discriminated against in treatment thus leading to more deaths. The reality is minorities have a higher percentage living in close quarters in the major urban areas and they have a much higher rate of obesity and diabetes than the rest of the population.

And you have to love New Yorkers. Samaritan's Purse, a Christian organization run by the son of Billy Graham set up a mobile hospital in one of NYC's parks. Immediately the LBGT crowd started complaining and making demands because this group "would turn away anyone who was gay" and "refuse them treatment" when they would never do any such thing. It's so bad however that NYC obliged their concerns by sending someone to monitor them to ensure they wouldn't. It's ridiculous.

New York is finally starting to come down in numbers so they are past their peak. Numbers remain over 700 deaths per day which remains well above expected daily deaths.

LBGT crowd started complaining

It never stops amazing me how in America we let the minority dictate how we the majority live. They have the majority so afraid to speak their minds, they have taken our 1st Amendment rights away by proxy.
