No masks were worn. No one called the law and the septic system held up admirably. We did have chairs spread out on the lawn to keep some semblance of distance.
...Used to load up a #4 comb, now it's a #3 as not much on top any more. Nape of neck also a #3 comb and probably looks like a Mullet that slipped aft and down... or a duck tail. I can't see it, and nobody has (of yet) commented "who cut your hair, man?", so I ain't changing my routine
Buzzing my entire head with a #3 works great. Besides, even a bad haircut grows out in time.

Watching the news and seeing folks crowding the beaches and bars (99.9% w/o masks or social distancing) over the holiday weekend, mostly down south but not exclusively. In a few clips the reporter asks the people if they are worried or concerned about catching the virus or passing it on to someone else.
Many stating that they are not worried and that God will protect them.
Really? What of the nearly 100k people in our country that have died as a result? Or the nearly 350k that have died worldwide? Where they all Godless? Did God turn his back on them for some reason and not protect them?
Morons, every last one of them. If you're in this mindset, then you too are a moron.

Since we are calling names now I'll correct you … I am not a moron, but I may be deplorable, and you sir … are a sheep! BBBAAAAAAAA!
And now we finally have some updated statistics for the USA:
0.4% of people who feel sick with Covid-19 (have symptoms), and seek help, will die.
For people under 50 the agency estimated that 0.05% of symptomatic people will die (that is 1 in 2,000).
Note, that is not your total risk, because many will be exposed and never have any symptoms. So those numbers are still MUCH HIGHER than reality! 35% of people infected had no symptoms and sought no care at all. So you have to adjust the numbers to account for that (by reducing them by 35%):
0.26% of all people who were infected by Covid-19 will die.
For people under 50 the estimate would be 0.0325% of people will die (that is 1 in 3,077).
And note, the number will be much lower, yet, for those who have no pre-existing health conditions (but higher for those who do have pre-existing conditions), there just isn't enough data to compute and express that.
This has nothing to do with "flattening the curve", shutting down the economy, social distancing, mask wearing, hand washing, or whatever. It isn't the risk of catching the virus, it is the total risk of death AFTER exposure. Obviously, if you don't catch it, there is 0% risk of death from it; and if you are high-risk, it would be much better to not catch it.
It is still serious, but this helps paint a much more accurate picture of the situation. It is many, many orders of magnitude less than the initial predictions.
Where in the world are you getting those numbers from Max?
Let's do this the easy way.
As of this moment there have been 1,739,859 confirmed C19deathscases in this country. Yes, that number is most certainly higher because of the lack of testing. Thank you FedGov.
The number of dead from C19 stands at 101,762 at this moment. Could that number be higher? Maybe but let's go with that.
Doing the math with those numbers yields a morality rate of ~5.8%.
5.8% dead!
That's a FAR cry from your numbers that start with a decimal point.
Not going to Sweden. Death rate is darn near 12%. Not prudent at all. Worse than New York which is weird to me.
The summer of 1952 was hot, even by Texas standards: 25 days above 100F (38C), the “cool” days not much cooler. But across the state, swimming pools were shut. Cinemas, too, and bars and bowling alleys. Church services were suspended. Cities doused their streets with DDT insecticide; by now, health officials knew that mosquitoes didn’t spread the disease, but they had to be seen to be doing something. Nothing seemed to work. As the summer wore on, the numbers of.....
Do you still think the number of people tested is because there are no test kits available, or maybe because most people without symptoms don'r feel a need to get tested? I'm in the latter group, myself. And I work at a medical facility, and know that there are ample tests available. But wearing a mask to enter, no visitors allowed, and having temperature checked daily before entering means that unless I'm symptomatic there's not a real need to get myself tested.

I think number of cases is probably far more than number tested.

... Not going to wait in a line for the Man to get me with a swab. I don't like waiting in line for anything. If I have to wait for it then it isn't worth it for me...
Absolutely no f'in way am I going to voluntary have a swab stuck up my nose till it touches my pea sized brain...
