Since July 26 Louisiana has gone from 1,390 covid patients in hospitals to nearly 3,000 today. I am assuming we'll top 3,000 in the next few days.

The problem is there is no room left in...

Here is a good synopsis of what was in the NYT this morning:

I've seen several media outlets report on this Texas company in the past few days. This is the answer to the ventilator shortage. And the owner of this "mom and pop" Texas company is offering to...

Who is Joe Biden?

CORRECT

I saw a few clips from Anderson Cooper's interview with Biden on CNN a day or two ago. He asked Biden about his administration's failure to restock the 85 million masks and other PPE after H1N1 in...

And that's just the people we know about!

Agreed. But it's still a story that no one in the national media has touched.

What's still the most fascinating aspect of this for me is the disconnect between how the media is covering this story in one way.

We're seeing the stories about how young adults are reacting to...

With increases in testing we'll see an increase in cases in the next few weeks. Decision makers aren't going to take chances.

Not only from a perspective of the Olympics but many international sporting...

There really isn't a good place to start this thread. So I'll just go ahead and open it in this forum.
