    Interesting data. Kind of "fun" to look at the different numbers. Would be nice if you were able to look at the "rankings" of the different states and countries by the various columns.

    For example, additional deaths as % of total. I just did an "eyeball" and it looks like the most 5 successful states going to the future are

    New York
    Conn
    New Jersey
    Mass
    Illinois

    Build permanent facilities in Greece for the summer games and call it a day...

    Yes. Actually, anywhere would be fine.

    I agree. I permanent location would seem to be best. I like @Jolly idea about having it in Greece.

    No. I think it should be in New Orleans, near where Jolly lives. Nice and hot and humid. Separate the wheat from the chaff, and all that.

    Typically I think you play to the base until at least after the convention.

    Okay. If it did come from a lab, and it was released by accident, that has to be an incalculably massive burden to bear. That's all I'm saying. Just a thought.

    An alternative question: If there were no lockdown, how many deaths would be caused by a saturation of medical services?

    You know what would be really interesting... Florida seems to have at least 10x as many cases as it did in March. Look at the deaths in March. Now look at the cases today and let’s compared the predicted deaths from the March data and apply to now.

    According to the museum, discussions about a name change have been underway for more than a year, . . .

    Did I mention Disney World opened today?

    The heat alone is deadly enough for me.

    But apparently not for the virus.

    It’s a bit late to say it’s about time. He had no choice though or he wouldn’t have been able to make the visit. I wonder if he struggled over the choice.
