MafiaMan Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 A local Chamber of Commerce sent out an email this afternoon complete with a link to Governor Tony Evers’ press release on Wisconsin’s first two deaths due to COVID-19. I am sympathetic to anyone who loses a family member and not making light of this, but the immediate sense of panic that comes with press releases like this is NOT helping. The Chamber director called the deaths “tragic,” which led me to immediately seek the ages of the now deceased. Again, I am NOT making light of someone dying, but the 2nd “victim” of coronavirus in Wisconsin was... ...90+ years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyworks Solutions (Irvine, CA), Ceragon (Israeli corp), and Aseego (San Diego) could be in both lists. A major stock market fall again in 10 years or so. Nvidia was the big 4G winner from San Diego and Qualcom, also San Diego, was a big winner in previous generations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 55 minutes ago, George M. Bluth said: 115 per MN DoH. Rate of positives per test has not yet been over 3% daily. Yesterday was the biggest jump with 26, but over 800 tests done. The number will continue to grow, but so far, they have been growing relatively slowly (known cases). and most of those cases were from the backlogs they were freezing. I think I saw from the Mayo private testing that they had 16 out of 400 tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worry is such a wasted emotion. When people are freaking out over every little thing like toilet paper it just makes you wonder what this country would look like if the pioneers would have had the same lack of resolve. We will have a few uncomfortable months, while that was a daily grind for them. Relax people. Philippians 4:6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The Chinese communists are comparable to the Nazi's historically. There has been reports that minority people are executed to get their vital organs to sell for transplants. Much of Xinjiang is in reeducation camps and if they don't show progress, their organs get sold. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/china-harvesting-organs-of-uighur-muslims-china-tribunal-tells-un-2019-9%3famp Dont believe anything they say.

I wouldn't be surprised if schedules change after the lockdown goes into effect, but they can't shut it down entirely. Besides, the concept of catching some disease on a NYC subway is not anything new... But did they close down the Subway bathrooms? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have a few uncomfortable months, while that was a daily grind for them. Relax people. Philippians 4:6. I’m told America would be less racist, but I digress... Back in a time period we now spend about 30 minutes a year in high school history class even bothering to discuss, our forefathers had the guts to sign their name on a for-certain death warrant called the Declaration of Independence. A bunch of rag-tag rebels then went out and defeated the world’s mightiest army and put an end to tyranny... ...until less than 100 years later, when half of the country decided there was no “us” in the United States anymore. When all was said and done, a wise President chose not to punish traitors and instead welcome the south back as Americans. The good in America had defeated the abomination of slavery. Our grandparents were asked to save the entire civilized world from the devil’s henchman, Adolf Hitler. It took our Allies years of waiting for the US to even get fully invested in the project. Eventually, we joined in and together we wiped the earth of that stain - and rather than punish West Germany into submission, we rebuilt that country brick by brick. Same with Japan. Our parents survived the Soviet Union seemingly winning over minds and hearts - whether by propaganda or military force - from the 1950’s thru the 1980’s. A “Miracle on Ice” made many people stop burning our flags and start waving them proudly. 11 years later, I remember watching CNN of all channels - back when they REPORTED news - and tearing up while seeing the Berlin Wall being hammered into bits. Good was once again stomping out evil. On 9-11, we watched in horror as we were attacked by terrorists commandeering our own airplanes. I would like to think that while on a plane and faced with the knowledge that the pilots are dead and evil men are going to slam it into a building, that I’d have the guts to be among a group deciding to “let’s roll” and thwart those efforts. I pray that I never find myself in that situation. Again, America’s best came thru in the clutch. That plane slammed into a field...and not the White House. Today is another great challenge. I pray that we get back to seeing what is important in life - God, country, family. Respect for others. Patience. Kindness. My favorite team ever making the Super Bowl again is a hell of a lot less important to me now than it was two months ago. Driving a nice car is a lot less important to me now than it was two weeks ago. When I see my mom and dad again...and I WILL see them again - I will hug them like I’m 5 years old and it’s Christmas morning. I hope and pray we all now realize what’s truly important in life - and it’s not Lebron James, the New England Patriots, the latest and greatest iPhone, or a Snapchat filter. It’s us. We are Americans and we are in the latest fight that we cannot - and will not - lose. We. Will. Beat. This. God bless you all. Enough typing, it’s time for me to pray. For all of us. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
