On a positive note...... Miami, FL has reported its first 7 week timeframe ending 4/12 without a single murder since 1957.

Per the NYPD the murder rate in NYC over past 4 weeks is up 55% compared to same time from from last year. 28 murders vs 18.

An estimated 40000 hit Newport Beach in Orange County yesterday.

Salisbury, MA, which is a waterfront beach town, is refusing to turn on water service for around 300 seasonal homes. I assume this is in an effort to "save lives". I also assume these homeowners property taxes are also being suspended during this time.

Just a FYI for you....Pennsylvania DOH just removed 200 "probable" COVID deaths from it's total. Sorry for your loss.

Who's shocked by that? Same parents that would prefer to claim unemployment and have lockdown go until their kids graduate HS.

1119 tests....most in single day for ND. 39 positives.

Building a hotel empire >>> planning community picnics

The free school lunch line at Centennial Elementary School is already stretched out about block north of 40th Ave. I'd guess 40-45 vehicles in line.

Again per the CDC 28 coronavirus deaths nationwide 24 years of age and younger thru April 18.............so no there won't be school or sports this fall. Higher risk of death by choking on a grape or hot dog. There will be exponentially more deaths in that age bracket from suicides, alcohol and drugs moving forward.

1) Not often but have capabilities to deal with any urgent care issue that pops up even in this environment. 2) Definitely a negative factor for many patients that have had appointments or procedures pushed back and delayed. Specialties vary though on urgent or emergency needed care....ENT is different than Derm which is different than Rheumatology which is different then Neurology......... Care needed for sudden loss of vision is different than a 3 month skin check with a history of skin cancer which is different from an increase in migrainous events over the past 2 months.

What I heard might be a little lite........

As someone posted yesterday 70% of all MN deaths are those who Walz's extreme measures were supposed to help protect.....the vulnerable in assisted living facilities and and nursing homes. ......but close down schools for the year and frankly I'd be surprised if he allows MN K-12 schools to open in the fall.

He was disappointed in both. Your increase in sample size will result in increase positives even with a positive rate that's been fairly consistent day to day in ND.

In ND....32 positive cases today. One death. If we have 33 cases tomorrow do we reset the "2 weeks"? Bigger question.....will Doug find these numbers "disappointing"?

So we are learning that the infectious rate is 50-85x higher than advertised.........

I get the "criteria" but ND has had 2 days of 50 or more positive tests. Are we ramping up testing of asymptomatic people just to move the needle up....and continually add "2 more weeks"?

No wonder Doug found Tuesday's numbers "disappointing".

As I was traveling yesterday I heard on the radio that the projected death total economically will be around 77000. Not sure if I buy that number anymore than the original 1-2M projected deaths from COVID but found it interesting that the projected economic death total now is more than the latest death projections from the virus.

If you took the over again this week you're a winner. 4.43M more out of work over the past week. Unemployment now at roughly 16%. #savelives

Mayo Clinic is furloughing or reducing hours for 42% of it's employees across all campuses. Will affect roughly 30000 employees. Doctors and administrators taking paycuts of 10-20%. Main hospital in Rochester at 35-40% capacity. Surgical volume at 25-30%. Overall estimated loss is at $3B when this blows over.

I thought I read somewhere in the Minneapolis area over 30% haven't even checked in or done anything. Based in 25-30% non-participation seems like Montana is doing the right thing to at least give the school districts the option to get kids back in the classroom.

According to JAMA of the 5700+ hospitalized patients in the Northwell Health System in NY 94% had more than one underlying medical issue other than COVID. HTN, obesity and DM, in that order, were the top 3 underlying issues. Who knew being a borderline physical train wreck increased one's risk?!?!

Funny thing with distance learning, according to one of my daughters, is the really poor students miraculously got smarter over the past few weeks.....grade wise.
