Re: #MAGA May Day - America still can't open as per OBS plan

You may "open" when you have a decrease in cases.

I'm looking at the illinois cases. That's the most terrible chart I've seen since Italy. You don't even flatten or drop at all. It's almost doubling the rate of transmission in the last 2 weeks.
Either you guys didn't listen, or you had a parade or something.


I'd get the f out of there before they start dumping bodies in Lake Michigan. Everything i said earlier about the low probability of really getting a disease if everyone was distanced for a month is obviously wrong. I rescind my previous posts.

I can't find a chart that lets me hotlink it. So instead:

9:53 a.m.: Toilet paper: Why is it still so hard to find? When will stores have rolls?
Paper goods giant Georgia-Pacific is cranking out 1.5 million more rolls of toilet paper a day than two months ago, but George Bugg still can’t find it on the shelves of the Decatur, Georgia, stores where he shops.

Bugg wants to know: What gives? Nearly two months into new shopping habits brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, why haven’t manufacturers caught up to demand for toilet paper and paper towels?

“I didn’t think we are using much more than usual. But, in the last month, I haven’t been able to find it at Sam’s. I went to Kroger the next day, the paper towel rack was empty. There were a few off-brand packs of toilet paper, and people were picking up those,” said Bugg.

It’s the same across much of the nation. In response, manufacturers have restarted idled tissue-making machines, increased efficiency in their 24-hour, seven-day operations, and shipped more paper faster. But they haven’t caught up to panicked consumer buying and societal and business changes that have altered American loo-ology. The situation leaves business marketeers unable to predict when the TP shortage might end. Read more here. —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution


I said we can open when we have toliet paper. Even per my own metrics, we're still not ready.
