 Larimer County cases doubled since yesterday, which may indeed be true, although yesterday's numbers and today's numbers should be multiplied by 100 to get a closer approximation of how many people in Larimer County are actually positive.  Those who advocate sailing along, business as usual, should be a bit disappointed that the curve is rising so fast both in Larimer County and in Colorado.  Or maybe they are morticians.  Or closet morticians.  Or budding morticians.  In any event, the current tally of deaths in Colorado, six, represent infections occurring two or more weeks ago.  Since people still have until Monday to vacate the Stanley, can you imagine how many deaths will occur as a result of their short-sightedness two to three weeks from now?  Maybe the Stanley should have advertised a Coronavirus and Dyspnea package.  Heck, you've still got until noon Monday, why not go and pick up the coronavirus/salmonella combo from their ...

Those dolts who are still saying this outbreak is nothing compared to influenza, or traffic accidents, are soon to have blood on their hands.  Italy is a smaller version of what is about to happen in the United States, and Italy just lost another 793 souls yesterday.  In 24 hours.  Italy now has a total of nearly 5000 dead.  Tomorrow, it will be over 6000 people dead.  Italy's population is 60,000,000.  Do the math.  For every 10,000 people alive in Italy last month, by tomorrow, one of them will be dead.  Why?  Because three weeks ago, Italians were running around spouting nonsense like US, saying, "Oh, this is a hoax, oh, this is just like the flu".  Soon enought, 6000+ Italians will no longer saying this.  If your stupidity here on this side of the Atlantic gets thousands of old folks killed, with hundreds dead in Colorado, I hope they leave detailed instructions with their children and grandchildren on how best to extract...

Local Patient Zero - Our Hero

Look, the BDC outed him, and it sounds like he had already outed himself, so rather than rain shi* down on this site for putting two and two and two and Narcissus Drive together, how about ya prick up your ears and listen to what amazing things he can accomplish once he recovers and a series of RT-PRC tests come back negative.  He can do anything he wants, go anywhere he wants, and not have any concern about contracting the virus.  Total.  Immunity.  It's like Bill Murray and the total consciousness line.  Total.  Immunity.  Can answer the front door at the hospital, escort people to their rooms, get slobbered on, sneezed on, coughed on.  Nothing.  No fear.  So, he's got that going for him.

Ya gotta test

Remember those nightmares when you are back in school and show up to your exams unprepared?  This is like that, only you are not in your pajamas.  Or maybe you are.  Serious now, makes no difference if we stop testing completely and just put everyone in lockdown, or start the f*** testing and make decisions based on test results, but we got to do one or the other:  Either start testing and separate ayes from nays, or get out the plywood and nails and start covering the exits.  That missing last word is "death"

Flip back to where it was pointed out

a few days back that the Republic of Hawaii was about to get body slammed Dwayne Johnson style.  This was when two cases had grown to four, and then to ten.  Not that many days ago.  Remember the Diamond Princess?  Remember how islands are like stationery aircraft carriers?  Remember this day, neap tide of the spring solstice, when Hawaii reported just 26 cases, and within weeks had passed New York and Los Angeles until they stopped bothering to count.  Do cry for me, Anahola.

Here is the letter from below: "I urge the town to limit access to visitor services."  Translation:  Allow without protest the federal government's decision to make admission to Rocky Mountain National Park free for the foreseeable future, and go ahead and advertise the hell out of an open Stanley Hotel while you're at it.
