    Your health system is doing an excellent job

    Doesn't matter who your president is those test kits are manufactured by private industry

    People in low risk categories testing positive isn't going to make much difference, no one is going to be able to isolate everyone for very long

    That picture is going around the social media and undoubtedly photoshopped. The letters and numbers used to identify railroad cars, known as 'reporting marks', are assigned by the Association of American Railroads, an industry trade group representing primarily the major freight railroads of North America.

    Reporting marks are always two, three, or four letters followed by a number of up to six digits. COVID is five letters, thus 'COVID-19' is not a valid reporting mark.

    Is This Train Car Carrying 'COVID-19'?

    I can assure you are incorrect when it comes to the Saline IV drips.

    Yes, except Alaska. USA Today has graphics that it says will be updated periodically. It seems pretty good, you can point at a state and you'll get a pop-up showing number of cases, deaths and recoveries.

    NO, you don't know what your are talking about. That rail car has a placard. There is a United Nations number on that placard. If I was closer I could read it and tell you exactly what the material is. But the placards are color coded and a trucker like me or a highway patrolman or a fire fighter can look at the colors and tell you which class of HAZMAT it belongs to. The photo you supplied here with the fake COVID -19 embossed has a placard which I immediately spotted. It is a Corrosives Placard. Fuel oil would be red for flammable and the numbers would be consecutive for and within each category such as flammable liquid or flammable solid. Explosives are orange, Dangerous placards are for mixed loads, then there are others for gas, oxidizer, or some other substances.

    I'm really enjoying these live maps it's helpful to know how many cases there are in areas I wouldn't have gone to anyway. :sweatsmile:

    Took out about half the tables at work today. Keeps people more spread out so they cant infect someone. It also means fewer diners, fewer servers, fewer orders, fewer hours... just fewer everything. Was supposed to work full time through spring break. Now they're saying they will call me if they need me. So yeah.. just lost a weekend's worth of work and what would have been a fat paycheck. This is what I was scared of since the beginning and now its happening fml

    Sorry for your situation. Now is the time for govt. at all levels to step up to the plate and provide for all the economic victims. This is the rainy day my grandparents warned about.
