VA: 100

Was that "per capital" an intentional or accidental pun, since DC is number one MD and VA are on the list because of DC suburbs?

[jon-nyc]

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[LuFins Dad]

Actually, that makes no sense. DC only has a population of around 700,000 and there are over 6000 cases... Wouldn't DC be at 8570 per 1M people?

[LuFins Dad]

Maryland has a population of 6,000,000 and over 30,000 cases. Wouldn't they be somewhere around 5,000 per million?

I'm wondering if that's hospitalizations or deaths?

[LuFins Dad]

Wait, new cases. I get it. ew cases per day per million population.

[LuFins Dad]

Now take Montgomery Count and Prince George's County out of Maryland and into DC. Take Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria out of VA and put into DC and run the numbers...

[jon-nyc]

Why?

[MainerMikeBrown]

I have to admit that I don't like hearing or reading about the statistics regarding the coronavirus...stats about how many people have the virus and how many people have passed away because of it. It makes me feel a little nervous, although I've been pretty calm about the pandemic so far.

@jon-nyc Realistic population grouping, I think.

@jon-nyc

Because that's all Metro DC. What's happening Fairfax has a helluva lot greater bearing on Washington then it does on Richmond or Roanoke...

I lived in Fairfax for 40 years. I usually denied any connection to anything across the river.

Listen, I admit that grammar is not my strong suit, but Autocorrect and Grammarly is actually making it worse... "then it does"?

Ugh.

Autocorrect and Grammarly

[Aqua Letifer]

Dude c'mon, why in the blue fuck are you using Grammarly.

So it will erase out lines like "blue fuck"...

My grammar sucks like Jon's cousin at an all you can eat rib cookoff, and Grammarly does help. Not enough to have me get the paid version, though, and I do catch a lot of mistakes that it makes.

[Aqua Letifer]

I think you sell yourself way too short. You aren't a recent grad with a Sculpture degree trying to land an internship, nor are you a foreign national trying to do same. You're fine.

@jon-nyc said in Cases per capita *yesterday*:

Why?

Over the last week, Loudoun County total cases have increased by over 30%...

[Mik]

We are down to about 3 new a day in Ohio. I expect to see that rise sharply soon.
