What is a "more-aggressive approach?" New York, Michigan, and California have been locked down. We have been asked to stay at home in KY. Lockdown is what Georgia will be in about three weeks from now.

Do they lose unemployment? If you live in Georgia, you work in a Barber shop, and you have COPD, can you say "no thank you, I'll stay at home for this" and keep your unemployment?

Vampire zombies.

If you want to see the opposite look at Sweden right now.

This would be very official.

Schools don't do survival of the fittest.

I can't see football this fall without some miracle progression, and we aren't getting that here. If you want sports this fall don't look at what is happening overseas. One thing I think we are leaving out is $$$. Schools are already thinking about the crunch that is going to happen. Extracurriculars will suffer.

Tennessee healthcare must be phenomenally better. There should be some great info coming out of their hospitals dealing with Covid-19 patients.

Reposted from @Colonels_Wear_Blue in another thread. “Tennessee has basically put all of its eggs in one basket, going more or less all-in on the Abbott Laboratories ID Now testing machine. The FDA gave Abbott Labs an emergency-only approval (meaning it is only approved because of the emergency situation everyone is in due to dire need for testing). It was approved after conducting a total of 60 test samples. FDA testers gave 60 samples, 50% positive and 50% negative, and they were tested at random. The ID Now testing machine passed with 100% accuracy. However, Abbott Labs admits to not knowing how many tests each machine can perform without requiring servicing, re-calibration, or replacement. The FDA's 510(k) medical device approval process usually requires rounds of testing that gets up into the tens of thousands prior to application for approval (which usually takes years), and then 100 rounds of tests by the FDA. To say that the approval for the Abbott Labs test was an abbreviated process is a gross understatement. TL;DR - They don't know how accurate Tennessee's testing method is, and even if it starts out accurate, they don't know how long each testing machine stays accurate. The fact that Tennessee is basically using one single method for testing is scary.”

Population Tenn: 6 million KY: 4 million Covid deaths as of today: Tenn: 152 KY: 154 CDC total deaths from 2/1–4/18 Tenn: 16,058 KY: 9305 Seems legit...

Coronavirus stats I don’t believe: 1. China 2. Iran 3. Tennessee Nearly triple the cases of KY but the same amount of deaths.

Nah, don’t do that. Take care of yourself and some of these folks will be wondering WTH happened.

3 weeks. Just enough time for it to get ramped back up. Herd Immunity works in diseases like Chicken pox where mom and dad and older brother and doctor can be around the kid that has it without getting sick. It doesn’t work with Novel viruses without massive loss of life.

Smithfield closed more and Tyson closed at least one.

The closure of meat packing plants in the Midwest due to massive amounts of cases of CV is extremely concerning. Those people work with PPE on.

Some tests were ended early because of side effects of cardiac issues and suicidal tendencies.

This is awesome. I thought other big box stores were starting this weeks ago.

High blood pressure runs in both sides of my family, but I don’t have it yet. Heaven forbid I get the CV and die, but I now wonder if I would count.

By some of the thinking being displayed, we should go back and adjust the death toll of 9/11 and other tragedies . Tick off those deaths of people who had preexisting conditions. They were going to die in a decade or two if the plane wouldn’t crashed into the WTC.

I enjoy the ESPNU high school games of some of the best programs. I am really worried about about the Hs season this year.

NFL is king. College is its minor league. XFL isn’t needed. Quick end instead of a slow death.

I wonder how "airborne" it is. I've seen footage of China and other Asian nations fog spraying the streets and cars. None of that is being done here.

Cases down. Hope that is a real indicator. Deaths...a bad day.

TN had a bad day. 169 new cases and 21 deaths. I hope weekend lag doesn’t catch up with KY.

Would that be people in elective healthcare fields?
