If you buy into projections and/or models...

Fair enough. BTW.....March 18 NYT article 1.7M "could die". March 19 WaPo article cited a projection of 1.1M deaths.

How was that done exactly?

Anyone else get the sense that the Biden election win has emboldened nationwide the demographic that rioted, looted and torched Minneapolis carte blanche to do whatever they want, whenever they want, wherever they want?

But the parents, if they so choose, could still come to GF that weekend and sit and drink all day, unmasked, for a couple days at Joe Black's?

FYP

I agree. Burgum couldn't handle this any worse. Delay four week. Then he'll delay it again from Dec. 14 until after the holidays at which point he'll pull the plug and we'll all then wait to hear from Biden what else we can't do come end of January. If there is no spring HS sports in ND for a second consecutive year Burgum might as well pack his bags and move to MN or go north into Canada because he will get chased out of Bismarck.

83% of all covid deaths in ND are from those 70 and older. So you're safe if your 69 years old heading to the El Rocco tonight for your gin and juice while requesting another Snoop Dogg song. Meanwhile little Johnny and his friend Max will put away their skates, BB sneakers or soccer boots for a few weeks. Least they have distance learning to look forward to.

Another record of daily new cases in MN and ND today. 27 of 35 MN deaths today in LTC or assisted living facilities.........70% of all total Covid deaths to date in MN from those facilities. Nothing to see there.

Burgum went from A to Z last night. He better hope his "s#@t sticks to the wall" on this one because come December 14 it's gonna get real pretty quick with the citizens of this state if his mandates don't work (and they won't because he won't address the real issue) with a potential Biden lockdown or targeted restrictions looming a month later.

Feel free to correct me if i missed something.......so to recap: No youth activities of any kind for a few weeks but no mandate or even a recommendation to get kids back to school face to face during that time. Restaurants and bars go from 25% capacity UP to 50% during same time frame albeit restricted hours. Meanwhile ND sets another record day for positive cases today with Fargo having a mask mandate for 4 weeks and the same demographic contributing to roughly 50% of all new cases. If anyone here thinks this makes any sense at all I'll happily pay for your one way airfare to NYC or LA...your choice.

Walz cited 71% of uptick in infections are from "bars and small gatherings". Masks work?? Except when they're not on? If Walz can figure this out how can Burgum miss this one?

4 weeks into the Fargo mask mandate.........

Aren't we around day 260 of the 15 days to flatten the curve?

#saferathome My parents are going. Why go thru a winter in ND vs AZ?

Should help us move forward but it's Trump's vaccine...... Same vaccine will work extremely well come January 20 though. To your last point.......spot on. But when you have nutless leaders it's easier to punish everyone.

The answer is simple......shutter bars through the New Year. ND legislature and Burgum can find funds to cover the financial impact for those businesses. Frank's in South Fargo last night was hopping. Parking lot was packed. Burgum just too stupid and ignorant to do the right thing. He knows the demographic at the root of the spread.

The one handed butcher can show you and still have fingers left uncounted

This will age well.........unfortunately

Exactly. How many sitting in the bars in ND from 500-1000 pm every day will have masks on? Zero! The hypocrisy and stupidity just reached a new high in this state.

Just saw this part........now Dougie has lost it. Basically tucked his nuts in. State mask mandate....no problem. Really should have been done weeks ago from just an optics standpoint. Mask mandate....been this way I Fargo for a few weeks and how well has it helped?? The bolded part if f-n ridiculous. Every day thru the last 3+ weeks of this spike it is the same demographic every day leading the charge in new cases 20-49. They make up over half of the the new cases every day! Is Burgum going to mandate the Fargo area public schools go back strictly face to face? Nope but now we'll have kids sitting at home from school, because of the bedwetting teacher's association, not leaning f-n anything with now nothing to do after "school". Brilliant pivot. I have a $100 Dougie cancels the ND HS sports seasons all together. That'll show the virus who's boss. Bars needs to be closed for the same time frame if this BS is going to have any effect. #factsnotfear

IIRC it was yesterday or Thursday with all COVID deaths for that day but one being those 80 or older

Statewide mask mandate in ND starting tomorrow.

Per the Strib St. Paul public school students in distance learning were failing more than 1/3 of all high school classes through the midpoint of the first quarter. Visit with any teachers that aren't doomsday COVID lemmings and they will tell you distance learning is a complete and utter disaster.

To get enough cases to shutdown Moorhead public schools? ......oh wait. Nevermind.
