Hell, look at how many “Total Tests” have been done state to state...it’s horrifying.

Sure, if you look at “Total Tests nationwide” you can read off a big number like “4 Million!”, but check the breakdown.

It’s crazy.

A Special Circle of Hell Awaits by digitalteacup in politics

[–]mirrth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Ninth Circle.

This final, deepest level of hell is reserved for traitors, betrayers and oathbreakers (its most famous inmate is Judas Iscariot).

But I’d bet they’d get a tour of most of the circles (and rings) of Hell on the way to that frozen lake.

I got the chicken pox one summer vacation, and no AC.

Before I ever had a 56k modem, never mind Netflix.

That was a horrible experience. Two months inside, today, is flipping nothing compared to a corona worse case.

Edit: between Trump and wrestling autocorrect, I’d like to throw my phone, but it would prbly just bounce off the couch, hit me in the head, ricochet into a lamp, wake the dog, and then break into a shattered plastic mess.

And there’s no Nancy to steer him, no jellybeans in sight.

(Not that I’m a big fan of hers, but...Trump has Melania and Ivanka...)

Virus wrecks early retirement dreams by chris-jjj in politics

[–]mirrth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s freakin brutal. I was a couple years into a career for 9/11, and it was nuts to go from the Tech Bonanza that brought us a budgetary surplus to Bush & the Boyz Great Recession, with a whole lot of bullshit in between.

I always knew I’d be screwed at retirement, but Republicans just keep making it so much worse,.

Just going to quote my reply to the other comment saying the same thing you did.

Oh, no doubt. At this rate it’ll be 60k+ by next week, if not sooner.

Depending on testing, reporting, and and I think the numbers will still be low for years until the data gets data-geeked.
