Virginia is a different color orange than the other states, maybe that's' just an error.

I choose to believe it's a special state because I live here!

@CapricornFarm soon I'll have more coops than you never know with this lockdown I might build more

Well, my playhouse coop is almost done! Just need to build the run. Plus I plan to connect some of the hutches to make a bigger space for grow out chicks....catch me if you can, @FortCluck !

Today it’s America first. Not in something you'd like to be first in of course.

I don't have an "it's nothing to worry about agenda." This isn't going to kill everyone on the planet. The fact remains that not everyone who is exposed will get it bad enough to even seek medical attention let alone die.

We have no symptoms and as I said, we were told no additional precautions are necessary unless we actually get sick. Makes sense to me. If it doesn't to you,

Looking at the numbers that have been published, by the esteemed journalists, the numbers don't cause me a lot of concern. It's a new thing, it's going to run rampant for a bit, eventually we'll kill it or we'll get used to each other. Like the seasonal flu.

You can contaminate others before and after you are sick.

We have one we are doing soon that's the same as Fort Cluck our 8x8x9. We have all the materials already we are just waiting for nice tanning weather doubt we could beat you. We only have 4 coops including the one we are getting tonight or tomorrow. Then it'll be 5 once the other one is built.

Who knew giving away POL pullets would bless us with a coop with run for my bantams

Its just a worthless suggestion. Unenforced.

Yeah, for sure. wish they’d either actually enforce it or just take away the suggestion because it’s kind of stupid to be like “stay at home but not really. Maybe. If you can.”

I didn’t realize we had a shelter in place here

I didn’t think it was official though. I think they just said to try to if you can but idk.

It's not an order here, it's an advisory.

Haha my brother came to visit a few weeks ago and he was like, "Why the heck do you have so many coops?!" I didn't even notice until he said something. One of them is technically a dog house, "But there's a chicken in it!" he said. I say it doesn't count since I only let broody hens raise their chicks there. Then I have a large run which isn't connected to anything yet, right now it's just where their food is. It looks coop-like but really it at most counts as half a coop. Then I have the large coop I'm working on and a smaller coop I'm working on, both about half done. Then I have the coop they actually sleep in now. So really I only have like 2, even if looking outside it seems like 5. Lol.

I just realized I forgot the two quail coops and my greenhouse. Yeah, my lawn is a little crazy right now. Maybe during this time I will finally get it all organized .

Last time I checked MA was doing a really good job of keeping deaths down. There seemed to be a more or less average number of diagnoses but a lower mortality rate. Someone's doing a good job there!

We have a very good governor, thankfully.

Thanks! That makes sense

44, I think.

Sorry, just saw this.

Anyway, for the state, yes. It’s up to 44 now. Was wondering about my county specifically though. But I don’t think they break the data down that far. Or at least I haven’t seen it yet. Maybe I could Google.
