This is [U]not[/U] exactly a Snopes fact check. The site happened to be one of many reporting on the [multiple expletive] preacher of a Florida mega-church being arrested for ignoring Distancing orders and holding two packed Sunday services.

[QUOTE]Florida officials have arrested the pastor of a megachurch after detectives say he held two Sunday services with hundreds of people and violated a safer-at-home order in place to limit the spread of the coronavirus.[/QUOTE]:razz::missingteeth::grin:
The sheriff stated that the "Man of God" (my words) not only endangered hundreds of his congregation, but also thousands of their neighbors. :sad:
2[SUP]nd[/SUP] EDIT: I wonder if any of these fools will question, should they contract the virus, how it was that their fervent prayers did not protect them.

"What we have here, is failure to communicate" (with a non-existent Magic Sky Pixie who was supposed to be watching over these folks.) :loco:

Projections for US overall and by state [URL]https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections[/URL]
NY is in big trouble; hospital beds 18% of projected need, ICU beds 6.5% of projected need.

03/30/20 Russia confirmed 302 new coronavirus infections total 1,836

For the second day in a row, tRump has said that the reason hospitals have a shortage of protective masks is that healthcare workers are stealing them and they are "going out the back door*.
He expressed total skepticism that they could use so many.

You might want to see the video I posted a link to in [url=https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=541357&postcount=429]this post[/url] (most emphasized: [b]Don't touch your face![/b]) and read the [url=https://www.hillsboroughcounty.org/library/hillsborough/media-center/documents/administrator/epg/saferathomeorder.pdf]actual order[/url], about how the church managed the service WRT preventing the virus's spread, and the [url=https://lc.org/newsroom/details/033020-fl-pastor-arrested-for-holding-church-service]points raised by its legal beagles[/url]. One thing about their arguments that got my attention was, they were based on the church being a "business."

Thanks. I started the video, but I am really at saturation right now. It sounds like an excellent presentation.

They're hoarding ventilators, too :rolleyes:

I have heard reports that people empowered to write prescriptions have been writing scrips for hydroxychloroquine for themselves and friends and family, in effect hoarding this drug, which may be bad for patients with, say, lupus, who are already using it. The drug, which is being studied for use in treating coronavirus infections, has gotten FDA approval for emergency use on coronavirus patients.

kladner, please take a break from Coronavirus for a while and watch something interesting/unrelated on TV.
It's going to be ok. The chance of getting severely ill is still astronomically low despite all the grim news. There are 7.7 Billion people in the world.

Tonight's numbers:
Global: 784314 cases, 37638 deaths, 165288 recovered
CFR1=37638/(37638+165288) = 0.1855 = 18.55%
CFR2= 37638/784314 = 0.048 = 4.8%

US: 163429 cases, 2657 deaths, 5764 recovered
CFR1= 2657 / (2657+5764) = 0.3155 = 31.55%
CFR2= 2657 / 163429 = 0.01626 = 1.63%

My concern is for all the people who are getting sick. My partner and I are isolating with occasional supply runs. We have been without a TV for about five months. I will find some nature documentary on YouTube for distraction. :smile:
