Yes I do. There is a lot of good content out there. I'm not saying everything has to be epic or monumental. Funny is a redeeming quality. Thought provoking is a redeeming quality. Sports are redeeming. I find no redeeming quality in shows that thrive off of human weakness. They call this a documentary, in my opinion, it is not. It's a stupid reality show trying to pretend it is something else.

Is what why I normally watch TV? Have you never watched something because everybody is talking about how great a show or movie is?

I can't believe I got suckered into watching this crap. Little to no redeeming qualities to this whole thing.

Something a little on the lighter side. Access Denied

I was listening to the radio, and they were saying that flu cases are an estimate. Depending on who is projecting, the estimate is typically 6 to 10 times actual recorded, because so many people never go to the doctor.

4,000,000 x 1.5 = 6,000,000

The one thing I miss about KY, is shooting in my back yard.

Was already planning on two. Got a good deal on the other two. Ammo is going to be tough to get for several months, and it is not uncommon for MrsC and I to shoot 300-400 rounds a weekend. As long as they don't close our gun range, she'll shoot that much herself this weekend getting a feel for her Hellcat.

MrsC and I picked up 4 new guns and 4,000 rounds of ammo just this week. She loves her new Springfield Hellcat 9mm.

Here's a good one for you. There are more pet tigers in the United States than there are in the wild in the rest of the world. There Are More 'Pet' Tigers Than There Are in the Wild. How Did That Happen? | Live Science

An Israeli drug company is sending us 6 million doses of the malaria drug. Israeli Company to Donate 6 Million Tablets of Drug to U.S. That Could Help Against Coronavirus

I don't think there's much concern about side effects. The malaria drug has been used since the 40's. Z-packs have been around for a long time too. Hoarding on the other hand. Let's just hope not.

It is.

In some nice to hear news. Harbor Freight is donating their entire inventory of masks and latex gloves directly to hospitals providing 24 hour care. This is the link where it says click here. Harbor Freight - PPE Request Form

I work for Amazon. They announced today that we are ramping up to holiday peak status to handle the orders coming in. Any Amazon employee that wants to be tested, will get the day off with pay to go test. If anyone were to test positive they will get two weeks paid leave.

Sounds pretty sensible to me.

I did not realize that SARS and MERS were coronaviruses. They've been acting like this is something new and unheard of. This is from the article that @sweet16 posted Coronavirus Mass Hysteria - American Greatness

KSR is reporting NCAA to make an announcement about the tournament. Doesn't sound good.

I've been searching also. This is the best I've seen. How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu? | Live Science South Korea, which was also hit pretty hard early on, but has medical care quality very similar to our own, has had a 0.77% mortality rate. Which is slightly higher than our hospitalized flu patient percentage of 0.57%. That is 58 deaths out of 7513 reported cases. If you assume that there are also unreported cases because of very mild to no symptoms, that 0.77% drops very low.

We were just looking on line at cruise prices right now. A 14 day cruise from Fort Lauderdale to London England, in a balcony suite, is $1,700 per couple. Regularly $17,000.

I know this strain of coronavirus is different then other coronavirus strains. The same way there are different flu strains. But according to WebMD, the coronavirus was first identified in the 1960's. There is also info in there on the 2020 version. Coronavirus Symptoms, Causes, Treatments, Types

I really do think people are freaking out, and the media is fueling it because fear sells. Look at 2018. These are alarming numbers, and we didn't freak out. What Can Be Done to Prevent Another Rise in Flu Deaths This Year | Live Science

I must have misheard what they said.
