Some people are sticking close to home. Others aren't. God bless the south.

It’s amazing to see liberals here repost a map where the guy who put it up originally is absolutely getting slaughtered on Twitter, causing him to retract the original thesis. The real problem is finding liberals who are NOT filled with hate, rage, or snark against those they think are inferior to them.

UHHH, 3rd person, not sure liberals can wrap their brains around the idea that grocery stores and places of work in rural areas are often more than two miles away. Not everyone has access to a corner bodega.

UHHH, buddy, not sure you can wrap your brain around the idea that it's not a map of how far people travel. It's a map of overall travel of the same people one week vs. the week prior.

I'll try to put it in terms you can understand. If you normally travel 2 miles in a week going back and forth from your corner bodega and now you still travel 2 miles in a week, it's gonna be dark red. If you normally travel 100 miles in a week to the Family Dollar a county over and now travel 0, it's gonna be light gray.

You need a remedial course in map analysis. Stat.

(fully expected btw, you're a Dem, an autodidact seething with a class warfare virus)

LOL. Doubling down on the ignorance. I like it! Also, you think anyone who disagrees with you is a Democrat? That's cute.

George Conway is a clown.

He's an incompetent show clown, with a tremendous inferiority complex. Trust him at your peril.

Who said anything about trusting him? He's entertaining.

From the map, it looks like Pete is sheltering in place/staying home.

Good boy.

ummm......how in the world are they collecting this data? is someone tracking our movements, via cell phone gps, etc?

B*ldo is still tracking yours.

He through him off the trail when he changed names form fattlylax or laxwheatfield
If you have a cell phone, you are tracked, unless you run around with it turned off. Ever wonder why your home phone rings within 30 minutes of arriving home for the day. Or when you start your car your phone reminds you how long it will take to get to your typical daily destination. You have to really dig into the phone to disable all that crap...and even then you'll miss something.

It hit home for me today. I just got laid off until we get over this thing. Funny that with all the bennies on the table right now I still be making more money while I am unemployed. The sad thing is that the casinos are not open.

Hang in there and best of luck. We will all get through it.

Yes we will. Together this thing is nothing we can't handle.

Hang in there old friend. Just more time to take care of your bride, and your garden. Question: do you have a dog these days?

Not yet, can't replace our yellow lab. She has been gone for 4 months now and I am still heartbroken. I was cleaning up in the back yard today . It was nice and sunny and i missed her being there barking at me to play ball with her.
Tomorrow i will attack the garden. If it is dry enough i will run the roto tiller through it. Gardening is the best therapy to get through this. My tulips and daffodils are just starting to open up. My lilac bushes are getting ready to pop. Virus or no virus, spring is here.

Watch Trump. He punts on first down. He’d love to help but it’s not his job. This is the guy who reported to Studio 54.

[cradleandshoot]

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/n ... 9-n1175351 I saw this coming a mile away. the Captain thought he was doing the right thing. It just cost him his career. he is still in the navy but counting paper clips is the extent of his responsibilities now.

BREAKING: Capt. Brett Crozier raised the alarm earlier this week that sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt needed to be quarantined to stop the spread of the virus. He is expected to be relieved of his post today. From @ckubeNBC

They did it.

Sounds to me like the Trump administration is punishing yet another whistleblower, this time an aircraft carrier captain desperately trying to save his crew.

Trust Trump instead.

She told you not to punch above your weight? Smart woman.

I like your map. It's a great map of the percentage of people who have no car and no supermarket within a mile of them.

Now, do us all a favor and go back and type out what the other map says - just type out all those words in the bottom left hand corner of the map.

Maybe it's not map reading, it's simple reading?

Here's what the map itself says, right on it!

Where people were still traveling last week
Percent change in average travel for the week of March 23, compared with travel before the coronavirus outbreak.

Holmes explained this to you, probably assuming you might actually read the map legend before dismissing again.

sorry Holmes, I did it for him...

All I see are pretty pastels. The only map reading i was ever proficient at was following a direction on a topographical map. Give me a compass and a heading in degrees and i will find my way there. If you want a brain challenge, try and look at a topographical map and relate it to what you are seeing. Elevation, rivers,streams maybe permanent impact areas that intersect your destination. I do remember all of the fire breaks in the boonies of Ft Bragg and the north/south and east /west grid patterns they were laid out in. Our maps did not have all the pretty colors.

I’m watching this task force press conference.

I know you TDS-afflicted are gonna hate to hear this, but Trump is finding his footing. He seems like he actually understands some virus specifics that most people don’t, which I’d normally not expect out of him. I know you yahoos will fillet him regardless but the voters are likely recognizing this.

Also, Dr Birx is a rockstar.

Most of today’s media are actually asking legitimate non-gotcha questions.

Anyhoo, Sweden’s government has adopted a “business as usual” mentality in response to the pandemic. Schools, restaurants, malls, and ski slopes all remain open until further notice. The only rules in place are a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people and an order forcing restaurants and bars to seat all customers to avoid overcrowding. This suggests that people are taking their fear cues from their government more than they are from the actual risk of the disease.

Pete -- I had not heard of Sweden's differing approach. Interesting. Sweden vs. Denmark should be a pretty good experiment. My bet is that Denmark wins this contest.

Right now, Denmark is at 21 deaths per million pop; Sweden is a bit worse at 28. Sweden deaths are doubling every four days and the curve is bending up. Denmark deaths are doubling every five days and the curve is bending down.

Both countries look to be quite early in the game. It is very cold and very dark in Scandinavia in February. Very little foreign tourism, no big outdoor concerts or festivals. Dr. Birks talked about how that appeared to be helping Sweden a couple days ago. Folks in Sweden will be a lot less isolated in April as daylight and temperatures increase.

Let's check back in a week and see how it progresses.

Or in a couple hours.

Denmark daily deaths today went from 14 to 19. Next door, Sweden's went from 59 to 69. Denmark holding steady at 21 deaths per pop; Sweden now up to 30 deaths per pop.

Maybe "business as usual" is not going to work so well for the Swedes....

[old salt]

list all the countries that handled this in fashion perfecto, or anywhere close, to arrive at a different outcome. so we can revisit in a month.

Taiwan. They disbelieved what the ChiComms said from the start, sent their own experts to Wuhan & locked down well before the CPC even admitted it was contagious. ...they know, better than anyone, not to believe anything out of the CPC.

Wow ! Even PBS reports how Taiwan outsmarted the lying Communist Chinese govt & their bought & paid for WHO mouthpiece.
For you globalists -- that's not Fox News.

Taiwan outsmarted Trump, too, which is admittedly not difficult.

According to the story, Taiwan just donated two million masks to the United States.

Yep, Trump’s America is a third-world banana republic.

Mnuchin said "When Obama sent out these checks it took months and months, I'm going to get them out in weeks" (paraphrasing).

What Obama checks is he talking about?
