I guess that's the downside of the state spending your money for you Jack. You know they are much smarter than a mere citizen when it comes to spending your money for you.................LOL

Global number of COVID-19 cases passes half a million people with 24,000 deaths.

But tonight's news tells us that the number of US citizens has now surpassed the total number of China, Spain & Italy.

Take care friends, this is a world crisis and it needs to be taken much more seriously than it seems we are. I've personally started being much more aware of keeping my personal space safe.

Edit: As I type this I see that it has now been confirmed that Boris Johnson has been confirmed as positive.

Heybuck, the reason our postive numbers are higher is because more people are being tested,

Tests per 100,000 persons is less in the US. Have to be careful with statistical data.

And the People's Republic isn't exactly known for being forthright about their failures.

I just posted a thread in The Clubhouse. Posted it there because it may be deemed as "Political" so I'm abiding by the rules and not posting it here.

Heading is "Planet America Fireside Chat"

The flu kills thousands of people a year and and there is a known vaccine, that should worry everyone. Add in Covid 19 with no vaccine and this is what you get, the health care system stretched to it’s limits. I can only imagine how terrible it is dying from Covid 19, basically drowning on land gasping for air.
The beginning of March there were 50 cases of Covid 19 now there are over 100,00., hype I think not. Every major news source is reporting the same news even Fox News. Hopefully cases do not spike in late May as data

Instead of sounding hysterical why don’t you look further than the headlines? WHY are U.S. case of COVID-19 increasing? More Americans are being tested. The current infection rate is running around 13-14%. 85% of these will have mild to moderate symptoms. WHERE do I get my facts? I sleep with a medical professional every night.

About 6-8 weeks ago we were bouncing up and down from a 2.50 "high mark".
2.20 - 2.50 depending on the latest excuse.

For the past month it keeps dropping
about every day or two - it drops another 3-5 cents.
It has really been wild.
Last night was $1.46
I paid $2.06 for 93 Octane

Diesel hasn't dropped like that though.
It was in the 2.85 range before the drops
Now its around 2.55
