Woke up @ 0600 smoked a few bowls and drank some coffee, Saw a Eastern Coral Snake crossing the yard. I've caught them several times and relocated this certain one a week ago. Flip flops and cut offs..... I had heard that they were very poisonous like Mamba or Cobra but had never been bitten by one. Well my Dumbass got hit on one toe and 2 fingers. No antivenom and I'm pretty hard to kill. I left the CCU in 2 hour's. They wanted to watch me for 24 for a study on eastern Coral Snakes. Feels like someone crushed my fingers and toe with a 10lb hammer..... I told the ol Lady to make sure I didn't end up with a COVID Tag.....
What happened to the snake? :p

The CDC is broken.

Sure, if someone dies and they have multiple causes of death (heart attack, lung failure, kidney failure, etc,) BUT they test positive they are listed as a COVID death. Duuuh. It's what the presumptive cause of the heart or other organ failure was. The person would still be among us if they hadn't contracted it.

It's kind of like saying someone shot in the heart died of heart failure. They did, but that's not exactly accurate.

It's political BS that they want to say that. It's a much easier case to make to say the number is under reported because so little testing is available.

Trump doesn't want anyone to trust anything the gov't has to say, so he is destroying their ability to say anything truthful. Don't buy into it. It's all him. It can change.
Well said, essentially passive aggressively suppress testing and this summer will simply be an uptick in deaths from pneumonia. Voila, Covid miraculously went away as predicted by The Great Pumpkin.

I saw a CDC update yesterday that was half that. Said all these reported deaths being blamed on covid wasn’t actually the case. I’ll see if I can find it.
What Is the Real Coronavirus Toll in Each State?


Methodology
Total death numbers are from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Coronavirus death numbers are from the New York Times database of reports from state and local health agencies and hospitals. Covid-19 deaths for New York City are from the city health department. Covid-19 deaths include both confirmed and probable deaths from the virus.
Expected deaths were calculated with a simple model based on the number of all-cause deaths from 2015 to 2019 released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adjusted to account for trends, like population changes, over time.
Excess death numbers are rounded.

Annie,
Can you please comment on this - I am the first to admit that I am not medically trained & conflicting info is confusing.
It sounds legit but I am unsure of the science behind the claims.
TY.


If I missed a discussion earlier on this I apologize.

Hardware stores and nurseries are opening here starting this weekend and it sounds like they'll start opening parks by the 23rd.
Those were tagged as critical businesses here so they have been open all along. The private nurseries were only doing call ahead orders with curb side pickup, but they were open. And the big box stores have been mobbed with all the gardeners trying to establish new gardens.

But they may have to go back. We may get snow or a heavy frost this weekend. Not good for summer plants most people plant when they first start gardening. Really messed up weather predicted this year. It's coming true. Hurricane season will be interesting.

The hardware store is a pain by me. I try to support local as much as I can but this curb side pickup and having them shop for me. I needed a dehumidifier and almost ended up with a airconditioner................its fucking 50 degrees out who is buying a airconditioner! Don't get me wrong, there is two guys there that have a clue........but they always have the same days off! LOL sorry for the rant.
