Bloomberg opinion article from 5/21. (With excerpts) -- ColoVT82 05/22/2020 07:25AM

There was no HK flu on Forrest Gump either -- lchoro 05/22/2020 11:25AM

All a guess, including my next statement. I don't see any lockdowns -- HokieHutch 05/22/2020 12:49PM

Cherry picking data and not controlling for anything -- VTSnake 05/22/2020 09:59AM

Hmmmm. -- SDHokie 05/22/2020 09:20AM

That curve conveniently coincides with Mardis Gras. -- MP4VT2004 05/22/2020 10:09AM

I would characterize it differently. -- ColoVT82 05/22/2020 08:56AM

They screwed up with their assisted living, something like 75% of deaths -- HokieForever 05/22/2020 09:30AM

Yep. The % of deaths in elder care WW is stunning ** -- ColoVT82 05/22/2020 09:49AM

You get what you pay for ** -- LaneRat 05/22/2020 10:23AM

Have to wonder how many nursing/elder deaths could've been prevented -- HWA 05/22/2020 11:23AM

Still account for something like half of all VA's deaths. -- Bioteknik 05/22/2020 1:54PM

They live near the north pole, so very little natural vitamin D up there... -- EDGEMAN 05/22/2020 08:36AM

Very little natural vitamin D around here the past few weeks! ** -- reestuart 05/22/2020 08:43AM

No doubt. We need clear skies and warm weather to beat C-19 back! -- EDGEMAN 05/22/2020 08:51AM

What a contrast to AZ. Lots of sun and no rain. At least not yet:) ** -- AZHokie59 05/22/2020 09:42AM

Same here. Looks pretty decent for us upcoming. I'm not sure that I'll be -- reestuart 05/22/2020 09:04AM

Delete,wrong spot** -- ColoVT82 05/22/2020 07:38AM
