Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I got to play CAH with my parents, even though my mom hates the game for some reason. And SHE won. Before all of this, I never got to play with them a lot. Or go to the park a lot too much. Sometimes going rock bottom actually shows the best things in life. I don't know if that's true for everyone though. Quote Link to comment

Not sure how long we in Michigan will have to deal with ours given Detroit is looking to be another bad area, as FEMA has taken over the local convention center and thereby causing the North American International Auto Show this year that was set for June Quote Link to comment

EH_STEVE Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Public schools closed until May 1, at least. Issued their first fines for people in closed parks. First positive case of community spread. My work is now considering lay-offs. Quote Link to comment

Lockdown started/starts today. It will be interesting to see how my town looks. ******** Observations from going around town the last few days... Gas stations had pulled their cups for their soda fountains, and I believe coffee too. So its the bottles behind the refrigerator doors. At a local grocery store they made some stands and had probably 3'x3' lexan/Plexiglas/plastic shields in in them to screen the cashiers from customers. *My brother said that sounded similar to how Lowes had their stuff done.

DLurkster Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Schools in my province are closed until May 4th as of this afternoon and last night all recreation centres and parks are closed until further notice. I'm glad they finally decided on the outdoor parks. Sorry to hear about the schools still closed further. There's a lot of concerns why government keeps pushing the dates of school closure instead of just outright closing the school. Their answers is they want to be hopeful and be realistic with what our medical professionals are saying we should close such service. We are still debating if construction workers should be one of those service to stop business right now. Quote Link to comment

Of the 9,315 cases statewide, 4,470 cases are in Wayne County (Detroit) and 1,910 and 1,088 cases are in Oakland and Macomb counties, the 2 suburban counties north of Detroit. The state has the most cases of any state in the Midwest, Illinois is next at 6,980. Obviously what’s happening in greater Detroit pales in comparison to what is happening in metro NYC. Dear god.

I was looking at this data earlier today and it was rather frightening. Michigan is one of the states with the highest number of Covid-19 cases per capita. It rose incredibly quickly and is still significantly above other US states. Sadly it's still hard to say exactly how prevalent it is given the general lack of testing. Quote Link to comment
Triforcemaster3 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 The latest data from Johns Hopkins for the top 25 states. United States - 245,601 New York - 92,743 New Jersey - 25,590 California - 11,126 Michigan - 10,791 Louisiana - 9,159 Florida - 9,008 Massachusetts - 8,966 Illinois - 7,697 Pennsylvania - 7,345 Washington - 6,595 Georgia - 5,444 Texas - 5,253 Connecticut - 3,824 Colorado - 3,728 Indiana - 3,038 Ohio - 2,920 Tennessee - 2,825 Maryland - 2,331 North Carolina - 2,041 Missouri - 1,817 Arizona - 1,766 Wisconsin - 1,748 Virginia - 1,708 South Carolina - 1,558 Nevada - 1,484 Looking at this it’s clear just how grave the situation is in the New York City metro area. 92k cases in New York, of which 52k are in NYC and another 30k are in the suburban counties of Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk. Some of New Jersey’s cases are in the south near Philadelphia but the majority are in the north near NYC, Bergen, Essex, Union, and Hudson counties all have over 2k cases with another 5k cases listed as unassigned. But turning to the rest of the country, many of the states are close to where you’d expect them to be in rank based on population. California (3rd in cases, 1st in population), Florida (6th, 4th), Illinois (8th, 7th), and Georgia (11th, 8th) are pretty good examples. States running behind in their response outside of the New York metro include Louisiana (5th, 25th), Massachusetts (7th, 15th), Michigan (4th, 10th), and Colorado (14th, 21st). States running ahead relative to population include Texas (12th, 2nd), Ohio (17th, 7th), and Minnesota (33rd, 22nd). Quote Link to comment

Which province is that? I’m guessing Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, or PEI Canada as a whole has 11,284 cases, 14th most in the world. I think Justin Trudeau’s early action to shut the Canadian border down to all but citizens was a very good move...reaping the benefits of that now.
