1. Is today the last day we will get reports from the CDC?

[calimary]

13. Man, the news has been such a blizzard that it's hard to know.

We had quite a discussion about it this past weekend, while writing up an ask about the White House and the CDC. Couldn't nail it down! Our editor said she went to the CDC website and there was plenty of updated info to be had, so she was confused, too, and she's got a pretty sharp eye.

So we put it in terms of a question - "can we trust numbers that are only made available from this White House?" In any event, that's the kind of question we should all be keeping, uppermost in mind, with this treasonous lunatic in the driver's seat.

SHEESH - it makes my head spin.

And that's the plan.

That's the motivation and the goal. It's deliberate manipulation. Mind-fucking. Mental and emotional manipulation. To make your head spin. They want to fog up the room so you can't see clearly. Deliberate sensory deprivation. Because hopefully you'll just give up because you're exhausted and just can't deal with this shit at this intensity and frequency, so you'll throw your hands up and say "fuck it!" You've herd that expression some news folk have used - "it's likeWhich is why I will NEVER do that. I'm NOT giving ini or giving up! This one's personal. And it's also rather out of spite. Cuz I know that's what they want. So they WON'T be getting it from me.

2. wow. US at almost 4 million. I recall when hitting the milestone of 100K was a big deal

[calimary]

11. Gotta tell ya - it just makes my head spin.

So I go geek.

Or go nerd.

Whichever the expression might be.

I find that sometimes it helps to just get clinical about it. Bear down, attention-wise, on the numbers. The numbers. And how they move. How far and how fast. It's been a long time since I studied science (in school, mainly). But I always did well in science, enjoyed it, "got it," and appreciated it. And wound up marrying a science nerd! Maybe it's kinda like putting mental blinders on - so you just focus on tracking numbers - impersonal objective numbers that don't know what political party or persuasion you prefer. Numbers are just numbers. But as you read them, you do get pictures beginning to develop. Trend pictures. They become like breadcrumbs or something. They lead you toward ... well, something. Projections or informed guidance or educated guesses. And that's the best we got, at present.

Maybe ol' "Just the Facts, Ma'am" stayed all-business because it was one way to defend from this stuff breaking your heart and making you feel as bad as it sounds - not to mention as bad as it's GOING TO sound, if the experts who watch and analyze this data for a living tell us is just up the road.

4. Thanks again, calimary

I wonder how long it will take to get to that milestone of 4 million US cases? Another one to mark Trump’s disaster of a response.

PA has been in the 700-799 range for new cases for 3 days now.

[calimary]

8. When do we get to four million cases?

MAYBE - by end of this week?

We started this morning in the high 3.7 million realm. Went from 3.794 to 3.804 in a half-hour.

[mvd]

12. Yes, sounds right

It is 95 here today and have to go out with a mask - luckily won’t be long.
