Carry on. I only posted those stats because the NYC Mayor was in GA yesterday to tell us we were doing wrong. Typical.

Dave, not sure if you are saying it's a hoax and it'll just disappear so nothing to worry about like some other leaders? Well the US as a whole and many other states aren't doing so well. Cases continue to blow up, the reason deaths haven't followed lock step is that the distribution in age for the new cases is different, many more younger / healthy. But for the US a country of more obese, diabetic and unfit then many other given our love of buffets, supersizing and drive up... you can expect a trend up in deaths as cases continue to explode. Then you got the issue that as much 40% of infected don't develop symptoms yet could still transmit the disease to older and higher risk people make testing also a huge gap here. Any questions?

Not saying it will disappear at all. Just showing the facts. My poor 87 year old mother in NY called me in a panic because her local station was saying half the population of GA was dying. Yes, the number of positive tests were increasing until a few days ago. BUT, the number of deaths has been decreasing since mid-April. The press really needs to stop scaring people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the fact we probably only have only between 8-25% probably infected / exposed and need to get to 80% for herd immunity. Of course the fatality rate for the 60% not infected likely lower ( except those nursing homes and elder NOT yet exposed )... figure we'll be at quarter million deaths, so would have a different response been warranted. We did a horrible job, shutting down and surely didn't flatten the case curve, funny how certain country's simply couldn't contain their freedom / liberty or have discipline or make the necessary short term sacrifice. Now everyone says hmm, maybe wearing a mask is a good idea and but the disease is totally not containable now, all for not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, "y'all" did become part of my vocabulary (had to fit in, lol). Seems that I have dropped the "y'all" since I moved back up to Michigan. How about the people in NY (especially) Buffalo, that say "you's guys"? Btw, I saw what you did with the word favorite. Nice touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The native Chicago folks that were born and raised downtown by the Loop, I couldn't understand half of what they were saying they had such a strong accent. I live in Tennessee now and y'all is my every other word. We have some Australian friends who visit occasionally. He is very afraid that traditional Aussie stuff is not being practiced by their younger generation and tradition will be lost. So when he is here and we go out in public, he goes to the extreme to be as old time Aussie as he possibly can. He has some words and phrases and an accent that has me baffled half the time....much to his delight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
