That's interesting, especially considering the "research" that Fauci shipped off to the Wuhan lab.

Re: Corona Virus (COVID-19)( SARS-CoV-2) from China: Its going to be bad.

Houston daily infections have gone up. We are about to pass China.
Numbers from China are just not trustworthy.


The CDC ran tests on blood collected in six states for non-covid purposes, e.g. cholesterol, etc. The time frame as IIRC late April-early May. From that they estimated that as many as 10 to 12 times as many people had been infected as was being discovered by testing those who had symptoms. This means that there were 10-12 times as many people who had it who were either altogether asymptomatic or whose symptoms were so mild they did not realize they might have Covid. This also means the hospitalization and death rates were far smaller than "known" numbers were indicating. Combine that with the fact that half of all Covid deaths occurred among nursing home population (and recall that NY was not counting nursing home residents who died in the hospital as "nursing home deaths.")

In other words we should concentrate on protecting the truly vulnerable, the elderly and the seriously ill, and everyone else quit losing their minds.

Walmart will begin imposing new limits on the number of customers allowed inside its stores at a time, the retail giant announced on Friday.

Starting on Saturday, Walmart locations will allow no more than five customers inside for every 1,000 square feet of the building, or approximately one-fifth of the average store’s capacity.
Our local HEB was doing this last week. I don’t know if they use the same ratio or not, but they let only so many people in at a time and they had “social distance” marks on the sidewalk for the line waiting to get in.

Oregon allows customers to pump their own gasoline
How will I know how to pump my own gas?

There should be instructions posted on the dispensing equipment. In addition, the state has produced a flier that operators may post at dispensers. The flier provides safety instructions for the dispensing of gasoline, general operating instructions, and measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
:roll:
Oregon has banned customers from pumping gas since 1951, longer than I have been alive. So there probably are a lot of people who really have no idea what to do. :roll:

In 2018 Oregon did start letting "rural" people (counties with less than 40,000 population) pump their own gas, so there is a trained cadre out in the sticks, but with social distancing they can't come into town to teach the city slickers.

ETA: It appears New Jersey is the only state left that (in normal times at least) completely forbids customers from pumping their own gas. I don't know what they are doing about the current unpleasantness. Having gas station attendents on the look out would be a great way to detect New York City'ers trying to infiltrate New Jersey tho. :mrgreen:

Without comparing the covid19 numbers to the populations they came from you cant actually say who is doing better or worse, but it does allow the media To attack Trump, a point made here:
