And surprisingly, rather than leaving in embarrassment, Flav went to the back on the line and stood in the cold rain like the rest of us.

Germany is winning


11,000 cases as of today…20 dead…mortality rate 0.18%


Germany's numbers do sound a little weird. Only 2 in serious/critical condition, compared to 2500 in Italy, 800 in Spain, and 931 in France?

yeah, this is going well.

for the more visually-minded, this is what the curve looks like:



we should be at well over 20k tomorrow, and 100k by monday.


God I hope not but am thinking same thing

I don’t know that most people can understand just how bad our government’s response has been

Did you pay by credit card…you could probably dispute that easily
No, this was a summary of the phone call. They said the house is available and it's outside their control that I am not a resident of the County and allowed to get to the house, which they wanted to stress, is still available.

This is one of those where I'm going to let them give 500 other people this line of reasoning and let someone else run to their local news and get them to do a 180 instead of me actually expending a lot of personal effort.
. . . and much as I expected, the NC Consumer Protection Bureau and AG have weighed in that this is illegal. No muss, no fuss.

I'm outsourcing the majority of my muss and fuss. Let other people muss and fuss for most things and save my personal mussing and fussing for things that require a Julian-level of mussery and fussery. #Delegation
