Cumulative cases in some key counties, as of this morning. No change in the rate of testing, by the way.

Where do you live? How old are you/your house-mates?
Well, if we are going to get serious about this, I don't think most Mexicans can afford to drink that good, 100% blue agave tequila, when the average wage is < $18 a day US. https://tradingeconomics.com/mexico/wages

The virus is rampant globally, so a reasonable and prudent person should presume community spread and take appropriate precautions: go out as little as possible, wash your hands more than you think you should, when you do go out maintain social distance and wear a (cloth, because that's all you'll be able to find) mask. Wash your hands.
Find an N95 at Home Depot today? Hahahahahahaha!
Pills. There's no known prophylactic for the virus, but plenty of scammers (think audio cable monkeys, but more sinister because they're toying with your health rather than just your disposable income) want you to buy their shit. DO see if you can get extended refills on any current prescriptions extended so you can minimize your need to go out.

1. Indoors or outdoors, stay at least 6 feet away from people you don't live with (though if people you live have tested positive or are showing symptoms, stay away from them too) .
2. Wear a mask around other people.
3. Get outdoors, get some sun, every day if you can (while abiding by #1 and #2)
4. Get tested (for the virus, and for antibodies), if you can.
That's it. There are no pills, no vaccines or prophylactic medicines to treat this yet.

Well, as of today, 0.0648% of the world's inhabitants have been reported infected, and 0.0197% have reportedly died from the Wuhan Virus which we have officially named Covid-19 so the people who have appointed themselves to look after other people's feelings won't be outraged.
Then we shut everything down a couple of months ago, if you can believe that!
Go back to sleep.

Nice one! BTW, do you have any data about what ever happened in The Villages over there? There was all this apoplexy about the catastrophe that was sure to unfold there, but I never heard much about what actually happened.

Just 7.3% of Stockholm had Covid-19 antibodies by end of April, study shows
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...dies-by-end-of-april-study-sweden-coronavirus
[ However, the public health agency had previously said it expected about 25% to have been infected by 1 May and Tom Britton, a maths professor who helped develop its forecasting model, said the figure from the study was surprising.
“It means either the calculations made by the agency and myself are quite wrong, which is possible, but if that’s the case it’s surprising they are so wrong,” he told the newspaper Dagens Nyheter. “Or more people have been infected than developed antibodies.” .. ]
[ According to the scientific online publication Ourworldindata.com, Covid-19 deaths in Sweden were the highest in Europe per capita in a rolling seven-day average between 12 and 19 May. The country’s 6.25 deaths per million inhabitants a day was just above the UK’s 5.75... ]

Not heard anything at all, being more focused on the Global News Storm...
Let's see:

If I have only a penny...and I find another penny...I'm *100%* wealthier!
Also, the galaxy is huge; if everyone on earth died....so?
Has it occurred to you that perhaps your percentages (which still reflect millions of actual lives...because, you know, *so many humans*) are low *because* of the measures put in place?
The virus's official name, btw , is "Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2)". Renamed on Feb 11 by the ICTV ( International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, a well-known hotbed of 'woke' leftism) from the WHO's initial recommendation of "2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCov )" ...which itself was as per its 2015 guidance against using geographical locations, animal species, or groups of people in disease and virus names.
Oh the infamy.
How dare they.
We should do it like we did in 1918.

It's terrible that people would have to read all the way to the second sentence to see that the headline, while admittedly true, does not capture the full 6/7ths purer hygiene of The Villages. The question is why? Why did the Villages-News commit this dastardly sleight of hand? Mainstream media (i.e., not Fox) hysteria mongering must be the answer.
To most of us, this is still the first Act of the virus. Best to check back in on The Villages during the Act III or IV and see how they have fared.
Too funny!
I would have led with:
There have been 1,973 deaths and 8,230 people have been hospitalized across the Sunshine State. Let's get some curly fries!
Much lower death rate than from the flu 2017-2028 flu season
http://www.flhealthcharts.com/charts/DataViewer/DeathViewer/DeathViewer.aspx?indNumber=0125
Deaths= 3082 during 2017-2018 flu season.
Did I miss something?
Well, it seems to me that IF there is a second, third, or fourth act, that the Villages residents will probably, overall, have acquired more antibodies, during each successive act, than they had during the first act. No? But I do agree, it will be best to check back in on this.

I don't think Florida has gone through half of it's Covid deaths this year.
