Rural western Fremont County in Wyoming leads the pack with ninety-eight cases, up fifteen since yesterday. The rest of the state was up four.
health.wyo.gov
All of Wyoming has 389 cases.
The most populous county (Laramie, state capital and county seat Cheyenne) has eighty-nine cases, but at least Cheyenne has more than a rural hospital barely on par with a clinic.
The outbreak there came from all the wealthy people from Colorado flooding into the ski areas there to go skiing or avoid the outbreak in Colorado. (Coloradans were also the source of the cases in the Nebraska Panhandle.)
(Includes map with cases by county, Cheyenne Wyoming Tribune-Eagle)

Czech Parliament just voted to extend the state of emergency until 17 May - the minority government of PM Babiš wanted to extend it to the end of May, but Parliament refused; they voted instead to end the current SoE at midnight, 17 May….and barring some massive upsurge in infections between now and then, it’s very unlikely the government could count on parliamentary support to renew it once it expires. As I’ve said before, no one trusts Babiš.

Meanwhile Trump can’t count on an endorsement from any living former Republican nominee. Biden meanwhile will have or has already gotten Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, & Hillary Clinton. This election is a referendum on Trump and he’s failed.

I’m willing to take that risk because there is no other way to undo the damage Trump and McConnell have inflicted on us.
Yet you exposed your staff and patients to Pence. It should have been a condition of entry. You rightfully force everyone else to mask up - so why the disconnect here.
This sends the wrong message - that it’s okay to not wear masks.— lawhawk (@lawhawk) April 28, 2020
I’ve been wearing my mask to most stores even though they are still optional most places. I do this not only as a protective measure but also to get myself used to wearing a mask while out in public as I believe it may be something I’ll be doing for a good long while.
The first mask I got was constantly pulling on my ears so I switched to a different design that seems to be working a bit better.

I agree. If a Democrat is elected in 2020 and if Democrats take over the Senate, we will have time to get an appropriate balance. Right now Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch seem irredeemable, with Alito clearly being the worst of the group.

Of course. You won’t see a Trump tweet calling Gohmert out for his district though.
“…Vehicle traffic into Texas from Louisiana has been restricted since an order issued in March by Governor Greg Abbott to slow the spread of coronavirus across state lines. But the Louisiana workers reportedly have been provided paperwork by Tyson that has allowed them to continue traveling back and forth for work despite the growing number of COVID-19 cases at the facility and in Shelby County, where the number of cases rose to 98 on Monday.”

Living in NH and working in MA is not a good way to avoid taxes. You get stuck with NH’s high property tax and MA income tax and you probably end up splitting on sales tax as you probably spend a fair amount of money in MA if you work there all day.

She did not insult him. She repeated Trump’s claim that Hunter Walker’s (the Yahoo reporter) comparison of per capita test rates of South Korea and the USA were wrong. (In other words, she supported Trump’s claim.)
Wingnut media is claiming Mr. Walker has apologised to Mr. Trump.

re: #111 Decatur Deb
Yeah. Remembered her, but badly.
It was a racist hoax.
In October 2008, Ashley Todd, a volunteer for the U.S. presidential campaign of Republican John McCain, falsely claimed to have been the victim of robbery and politically motivated physical assault by a supporter of McCain’s Democratic opponent Barack Obama. The story broke less than two weeks before the 2008 United States presidential election on November 4. Todd later confessed to inventing the story after surveillance photos and a polygraph test were presented. She was charged with filing a false police report, and entered a probation program for first-time offenders.

re: #101 danarchy
Living in NH and working in MA is not a good way to avoid taxes. You get stuck with NH’s high property tax and MA income tax and you probably end up splitting on sales tax as you probably spend a fair amount of money in MA if you work there all day.
To be honest, I’ve never really understood this charge—usually from old timers in NH. Maybe it’s affordability? But homes in southern NH are obscenely expensive too. Still, I guess that residency/work thing is real.
So, we were wrong for wanting ventilators to keep us alive?
We were just supposed to suck it up…I mean…suck it up if we could breathe.

No, she shouldn’t.
Checking reporting on per capita testing in South Korea and the USA, it’s noted the USA slightly surpassed South Korea today (11,861 versus 10,862). That said, six weeks ago, South Korea was seven hundred times ahead of the USA per capita.
It may have been outdated data the Yahoo! reporter was using.

So even your numbers from that business insider story are badly out of date. The US has done almost 17500 tests per million and S. Korea is just about 12000 per million.
Also I posted the actual tweet that fox referenced, it is real, although fox conveniently cut out the part about infection rate.

the difference between the first three years and the last 4 months is he cant control this. he can’t spin it effectively. and worse, he doesnt understand ‘the enemy’ or want to even try.

The per capita testing tells only part of the story.
If you were testing 12,000 per 100k within the first week, you had a really good chance of stopping the spread with minimal loss of life. If it took you six weeks to get to that point, the pandemic has spread out of control and you’d need to conduct even more tests per capita to get to a rate where you’re able to do contact tracing.
Trump’s delay caused the high death toll, and now crowing about the per capita testing isn’t a success when quick action is what would have prevented this disaster in the first place.
It’s his failures all through Jan-March that led us to this catastrophic death toll and economic collapse. That’s all on him. All of it. Not China. Not WHO. Not anyone but him and his sycophantic advisers who ignored the data, the warnings, and instead went to their brokers to cash in.

Veterans Affairs officials dismissed concerns about a recent coronavirus dance party among leadership at an Oregon medical center even as the number of cases among patients and staff in the health care system continues to climb.
The event, made public by local Oregon media over the weekend, included at least 16 staff and raised concerns among some employees at the Roseburg VA Health Care System that local leaders were not taking social distancing recommendations seriously.
“I understand this is a rural county and it’s not spreading fast, but this is how it spreads,” one VA employee told the Oregonian.

The Navy has the most cases of any of the Armed Forces.
WASHINGTON — Nearly 1,000 sailors assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt are still fighting the coronavirus after the Navy reassessed how it determines whether someone has recovered from the virus.
Medical staff were finding that asymptomatic sailors placed in quarantine for 14 days were testing positive for the coronavirus when leaving isolation, according to Cmdr. Clayton Doss, a Navy spokesman.
Positive tests for the virus continued to happen with Roosevelt sailors who initially tested negative, so Navy officials determined the service needed to reevaluate its criteria and testing procedures, Doss said. The initial negative test can happen when the amount of virus in the body is not high enough for the test to detect it at the time, he said.

re: #216 Citizen K
And Philly is one of those sanctuary cities. Oy Vey DT is going to drive every crazy.
“I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou, “Catch-22” by Joseph Heller, “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien, “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison were all taken off an approved list of works that teachers in the Mat-Su Borough School District may use for instruction.The school board voted 5-2 on Wednesday to yank those works out of teachers’ hands starting this fall. The removed books contained content that could potentially harm students, school board vice president Jim Hart told NBC News on Tuesday.
Mat-Su Burrough is Sarah Palin’s stomping grounds.
Several books that were not removed from classrooms still came under harsh scrutiny. “The Jungle” and “A Christmas Carol” could be interpreted as advocating for socialism, while “A Street in Bronzeville” was called to question for showing too much “realism” in describing racism against African Americans, according to a district memo.
re: #210 EPR-radar
“Trump is worse” is, in fact, a moral argument.
But the more compelling argument for voting for Biden is pure practicality — Trump will do his best to kill us all.
These Bernie dead-enders (e.g., Briahna here) are truly insufferable.
face the choice:
trump or biden
like it or not
biden will not ‘drop out’
and if he did it still wouldnt be bernie
you may think you have other choices to vote for: greens, third parties, abstain on the president, etc.
You Dont.
Because it will be a trump admin or a biden admin.
one of those two.
nothing else.

re: #209 KGxvi
Notice what he says “he’s not voting for Trump” that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s “voting for Biden.” He’s either going to vote third party or write in someone’s name or leave the line blank.
Which, grand scheme of things: any vote that is not for Trump is better than any vote that would otherwise be for Trump.
True. On another site I frequent there was this post from a regular: a disgruntled-conservative Never-Trumper; who loathes Trump and thinks his Admin is a disaster: but will never pull the lever/mark the box for Biden (or any other Democrat) because, well…Democrat.
His “alternative”? Voting for Justin Amash on the Libertarian Party ticket, should he run; (and/or if the LP can get on the ballot in his state).
I guess if you HAVE to go with a “protest” vote, that’s probably one which will draw off the least number of votes from the Biden/Dem ticket, but RLY?? Justin Amash?

There should be a law against crazy people running schools. Come to think of it, there is one against fundy quacks doing so. It’s called the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, but nobody has the guts to enforce it.
The right wing and libertarians like the Kochs have long recognised that running nutbars for school districts is crucial for creating an uneducated populace.
On top of that, it’s impossible to be elected to a school board if you are either single or an atheist.
Democrats started getting on top of this problem. School board elections have been getting more expensive as outside libertarian groups pour money into “school reform” candidates.
Denver’s election was the most expensive in the city’s history, but the result was three union-backed candidates won their races, flipping the Denver School Board to Democratic control.
In less watched races, in 2018 my school district flipped the school board to Democratic control (though no outside money went to the Leyton Public School race).
Since this is a boring newsday: Foodie Report
I’ve tried to do some basic ‘soak and eat’ pickling, not the real long term kind. First pass, not bad. Didn’t have the stuff I wanted (mustard seeds) but improvised with powerdered mustard, paprika, black peppercorn, real dill. Some garlic cloves. Mostly zucchini, 1/3rd japanese eggplant. Two jars not hot, two jars with some habanero.
Didn’t have sugar, but used some honey. Used 3 tbs of rock salt, but I think next time I’ll use two. A little salty.
Vinegar is 5% acidic apple cider. I could try 4% next time, or do a 25% vinegar to water ratio from 33%. I like it but the Wife Unit made some funny faces first pass.
Since I murdered most of two jars already, I might just heat up the liquid with a little fresh water, replace the dill with more fresh dill and garlic, and fill back up with more zuch and eggplant.

But Ricketts, during his daily briefing about the state’s response to the virus, said one thing’s for sure: He’d never ask that food processing plants shut down. They’re too important for food security and to keep the nation’s food chain running, he said.

A former top South Carolina business executive and supporter of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has decided to back the Republican incumbent’s Democratic challenger in his 2020 re-election race.
Richard Wilkerson, the former chairman and president of Michelin’s Greenville-based North America operations, said he chose to endorse Democrat Jaime Harrison because of his experience working with him while Harrison lobbied on the company’s behalf in Washington, D.C.
From 2009 to 2016, when Harrison was a lobbyist at the now-defunct Podesta Group, he advocated for some of Michelin’s legislative priorities, including dredging the Port of Charleston and creating new tire manufacturing standards to improve fuel efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Wilkerson said the experience showed him “how hard he (Harrison) works to bring lasting economic opportunity to the people of South Carolina” and described him as “the change South Carolina needs.”Michelin is one of South Carolina’s largest companies, employing almost 10,000 people in the state.

The issue I’m having with masks is that I also wear glasses and behind-the-ear hearing aids. It’s a guarantee that when I take off the mask it’s going to catch the hearing aids so I have to make sure I’m somewhere where I can catch them as they tumble. Now I just take them off and leave them in the car before I put the mask on for shopping.
