Chester County, PA COVID-19 stats as of yesterday:
Confirmed cases: 1926 (+20)
Total tested: 9049 (+177)
Deaths: 187 (+3)
I wonder if the big hop in Saturday’s data was a report of something that comes in weekly. Or might simply had reflecting a delay from some event of new cases cropping up. Doubling rate currently is at ~19 days. (But with the usual caveat that testing is not widespread and thus probably actual cases are under reported, perhaps massively.)

Most every move Trump makes is aimed at the increasingly smaller base of his party. And his party hates Obama with a fiery passion that burns hotter than a million suns, so it’s no surprise that he thinks this is a great idea.
Speaking of drive-ins, they were cheap entertainment. You could pack a carload in and pay one price. My parents had a station wagon and that was a thing to do on a Friday or Saturday night. The local drive-in would play double features-first a kiddie movie, and then a serious adult movie. Kids were supposed to fall asleep after the kiddie movie. That didn’t always happen. I remember watching Patton from the back seat of the station wagon, when my parents thought I was asleep.
Alternately, we went to the dirt track races over at the Antioch (CA) Speedway on Saturday nights. It was another one of those “stuff many people into a car for one price” things. This was back when Nascar was still a very regional, very Southern thing.
My parents did the best they could with the money and time they had to give us a decent childhood.

Grocery store report: went in the morning, which is not my custom, in the hopes of finding things that have long been disappeared off the shelfs.
Not much success.
Though the store, I was told, gets deliveries on Sunday, today still very bare on frozen fruit. Still very bare on many items in the frozen dinner aisle (especially pizzas.)
However, the one big surprise was name brand paper towels. Only 2-paks, but of the brand and type I wanted. I expect the two shelves of them will be gone by sundown.
All that’s on the toilet paper side of the paper aisle were a few rolls of the singles, the ones made in Mexico that the locals here appear to not to like.

Republicans have problems with programs that help anyone who is not wealthy. No Republican House would propose anything comparable to Nancy’s bills. They are fine with bills that explode the deficit by directing funds to the already wealthy — but if the poor and working classes (and the middle classes) are the primary beneficiaries, they are actively opposed.,

Bill Gates is building a dozen vaccine factories (because each of the current research projects if they succeed would need a specific unique factory configuration with a specific unique set of equipment), so that if/when one of them has good results in their clinical trials and we know which one to pursue, they can start manufacturing immediately. And all the other buildings would then be repurposed.
It’s a more expensive way to go, but it would save about a year and that vastly outweighs the cost of the ones that won’t be used.

re: #113 Targetpractice
Nah, they pulled this shit back in ‘08 as well. Remember all the sudden worry, after 8 years of tax cuts and off-the-book war spending, that spending any amount of money to bail out the banks and the Big 3 was simply not possible because of the national debt?
And they desperately wanted to decimate Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and that was before the ACA. They were worried because the Democrats were in charge of both the House and Senate and may have wanted to pass programs to help out “regular folks”.
This is the first U.S. presidential election in which “Vote Him Out Before He Kills You and Your Family” is a wholly reasonable slogan for the challenger

Ah. Saturday. Well, sort of for me, as Monday and Tuesday are the weekend for me. Picked up my truck from the auto repair shop, picked up some groceries on the way home to include beer & rum so since it’s 5 o’clock somewhere fairly close and Saturday on top of it, I’ve got the amp cranked, a beer and shot glass to hand and a new to me Chinese wuxia film, Hero (2002) to watch. Starring Jet Li as the nameless protagonist, the film is based on the story of Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on the King of Qin in 227 BC. Sounds promising.

Well the idea was to make sure the peak never exceeded the hospital capacity. In that, so far we have succeeded. NY got stressed but there was never a point where there were not enough beds and ventilators available for patients. Of course the lower the better.

Starring Jet Li as the nameless protagonist, the film is based on the story of Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on the King of Qin in 227 BC. Sounds promising.

Since Trump hasn’t been able to do rallies, he’s found a new hobby - being a complete and total dick to reporters (especially the women) during these press briefings. The only reason he keeps doing them is to try to fill the empty void with his peevish behavior. Unfortunately for us, Trumpers love it. To them, the bigger the asshole the more manly (or something).

The same sort of fuquery as done under the Reagan Administration regarding food stamps for low-income enlisted personnel, but with a twist.
The way income is calculated for food stamps if you are in the military includes special allowances (such as uniform allowance, Basic Allowance for Quarters, &c). These allowances are not income in the usual sense; the housing allowance is paid if you cannot get base housing. Commuted rations is another, paid if you’re not eating in the mess hall/chow hall.
For the purposes of food stamps, these allowances are being added as “pay” even though they are not, making most low-income enlisted personnel ineligible for food stamps.
The opinion piece recommends that an explicit exemption for those allowances be added to the next coronavirus relief bill, because many military spouses have lost their jobs and enlisted personnel are being driven into poverty.
This also represents a national security risk as well, since poverty-stricken people with security clearances and access can become enticing targets for espionage.

But this an enemy I cannot see.
So I have to put the mask on.
I don’t like hiding from you dear.
I’ve always been an open book.
But I’ve sworn to protect you.
So I have to put the mask on.
It’s not exactly stylish,
and it pinches near my ears.
But I see danger around me.
So I have to put the mask on.
Someday this will all be over.
We’ll dance without any fear.
But right now it’s about survival.
So I have to put the mask on.

This does not appear to be the case with the Castle Rock grift, though I imagine if the fundraiser is pulled, GoFundMe will need to be monitored to ensure new ones which pop up are also pulled down over the owner’s lawlessness and refusal to comply with orders (isn’t that what conservatives demand of alleged criminals?)
What part of “you do not have the right to assault others with your diseases” do you not understand, chowderhead?
Anyone in fear should stay home. They’re safe there, right? (And also “safe” shopping in big box stores, too.) Those who are willing to take the risk should proceed with their lives. Every person is free to make a decision that aligns with his/her level of risk tolerance.
