Despite having two additional weeks to witness what was happening and react, and a smaller population, Indiana passed Washington with total number of cases. Congrats you backwards Hicks.

And your not quite neighbor Montana is "opening" up next week too -- thankfully sweaty (bowling? and bingo?) balls are still off limits.

This is like real time Darwinism (or as the Mayor of Vegas would offer: control group / placebo territory) we're entering.

I suspect many folks will continue to hide out (self-included) but the young and dumb are undoubtedly going to cause a spike in new cases:

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced Wednesday, April 22, the lifting of a stay-at-home order on Friday, April 24 as well as a “phased reopening” of the state during the COVID-19 pandemic, containing three phases.

The order does not prohibit more restrictive local ordinances, Bullock said, and he encouraged local officials to adjust accordingly depending on the needs of each community.

Phase one does not currently have an expiration date, Bullock said.

Here’s Bullock’s plan in Montana under phase one:

What’s still closed?
  • Gyms/pools/hot tubs
  • Movie/performance theaters
  • Businesses such as bowling alleys, bingo halls
  • Senior living facilities (to visitors)
Businesses can reopen April 27
Aside from those outlined above, “Main Street” and retail businesses previously deemed non-essential are allowed to open on Monday, April 27, as long as they “can become operational with reduced capacity and where strict physical distancing protocols can be maintained,” according to the governor’s office.

Businesses that require close contact, such as hair dressers, nail salons and tattoo parlors, must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Screening of customers for symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, shortness of breath or cough
  • Utilization of face masks for staff and customers when practical
  • Six-feet of distance between stations, physical barriers between stations and/or a reduction of seating in service and waiting areas
Restaurants and bars can reopen May 4
Beginning May 4, restaurants, bars, breweries/distilleries and casinos in the state will be allowed to reopen for expanded services beyond take out and delivery as long as certain sanitary measures are taken.


Here are the guidelines for reopening restaurants under phase one:

  • Establishments are to stay at 50% of normal capacity
  • Tables are limited to six people
  • Six feet of physical distancing or physical barriers (such as back-to-back booth seating) between tables/groups
  • Patrons are NOT allowed to sit or stand at a bar or counter
  • Self-service buffets are to remain closed

As data emerges on the spectrum of symptoms caused by COVID-19, it's clear that people with chronic health conditions are being hit harder.

While many people experience mild illness, 89% of people with COVID-19 who were sick enough to be hospitalized had at least one chronic condition. About half had high blood pressure and obesity, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And about a third had diabetes and a third had cardiovascular disease. So, what explains this?

"Obesity is a marker for a number of other problems," explains Dr. Aaron Carroll, a public health researcher at the Indiana University School of Medicine. It's increasingly common for those who develop obesity to develop diabetes and other conditions, as well. So, one reason COVID-19 is taking its toll on people who have obesity is that their overall health is often compromised.

Who's Hit Hardest By COVID-19? Why Obesity, Stress And Race All Matter

Data shows people with certain chronic conditions are more likely to get severe COVID-19 symptoms. Why are they hit harder and what explains the disease's disproportionate affect on African Americans?

They may die easier in a week because of it but they don't get infected because they're fat.

They may get infected more because they are undisciplined and don't follow medical advice.

Trump says he was being 'sarcastic' about injecting coronavirus patients with disinfectant

Speaking to reporters after signing a $484 billion coronavirus relief package into law, President Trump was asked about the idea of injecting coronavirus patients with a disinfectant, something he floated during Thursday’s coronavirus task force briefing. He claimed he was being sarcastic.

As good a place as any to place this hilarious answer by Nate White as to why British people don't like DT (and I believe this is a poopdeck to boot!):

"A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created? If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

You don't even understand the difference between those two do you? Like you genuinely don't understand it.

You ever catch the fat from walking next to a mcdonalds? You ever accidently get some diabetes on someone? Make sure you wear a mask so you don't catch heart disease.
