@JimmyinSD So, when you mentioned to me you get it from both sides of the political spectrum, I didn't quite buy it...I buy it now.

So who I know directly or indirectly that has COVID-19:

• A friend's Dad in Port St. Lucie, FL. On a ventilator, but word is he should be ok. Was on a cruise. 
• A friend in San Diego who went out, partied and didn't do a damn thing right. She's sick right now
• My son has 2 friends in Boulder that both have it (a couple) and he thinks he got it at Google-Boulder. They are young and barely showing symptoms. 

Patient my girlfriend saw on Friday just went to the ER via ambulance with a 103 fever.

Merica loves them some Fauci...

Yes they do. They don't know why they like him though. I do, but I can't say it on this thread. 

Can't say he's a trusted MD and apolitical?  I'll listen to him long before the bloviating by the 24/7 and print media...

Governor of Florida has just issued a 'Stay at Home' order for the entire state. About time.

Amen to that. It was interesting that initially it was just part of the state.

shocked to see 20% of the USA was still not under SAH orders as of last night.

What the heck is wrong with some of these Gov's?  Midwest (Dakota's, NE, Iowa) Tx, bunches in the SE. 

FL with it's elderly population? Too bad it took this long - even after the spring breakers fiasco it took this long. 

Kudos to CA and Washington State for their early orders to stay the f home.

the orders will go into effect once the virus is at a level to warrant it.  you cant completely kill an area months ahead of the arrival of the virus.   its not like it hit everywhere at once.  we dismissed our schools, and cancelled gatherings ahead of most other states around including Minny.  Every state has to handle shit their own way that is best for their areas.   and its not like Minnesotans are staying home anyway.  they are over here all the time doing shopping and other shit.   Everybody in SD knows that a shut down is coming,  but in areas of lower population density its not going to likely be near as severe and will be easier to control.  I am not naive on how its going to be,  its going to get much worse,  but the sooner you send the public into hiding the sooner they will stop taking all the precautions and if they come out and try and return to normal to soon we will have an even worse out break.

just based on the spread rate around the country we here in SD are told not to expect this thing to really hit for another 3-4 weeks and to expect to still be dealing with it into June or even July.  No way in hell you get an entire state to shut down for 4 months,  no way.
