Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

[sourland]

I've been told that chick sales are booming (chicken type chicks) while stocks (money) are busting. Some people have realized that you can't eat money.
Doesn't say a lot for confidence in the current crisis management.

Welcoming new members to the community is wearing out my fingers and keyboard.

I'm looking at the stats for my state, California, and I'm confused.

5718 total cases reported
- 123 deaths
5595 living with Covid-19
-5574 active cases
21 recovered

The first case identified in CA was diagnosed on 1/26. Since 1/26 -- 8 weeks -- only 21 people out of 5718 have "recovered"?

This seems incredible. What am I not seeing or what am I doing wrong?

Yup, we're seeing an increase in visitors and people saying the virus is one of the reasons they are interested. Also, some reports that hatcheries are getting sold-out.

Thankfully I've got a production unit or 3 here so I won't have to risk going out to buy any.

Maybe someone should produce a banner that says
"Chickens save the human race again!"

Thanks. I've added that to my bookmarks. It confirms the data I'm working from but doesn't clarify why so few are recovered.

Let me know what you find out.

For you guys who think I've been fear mongering out of a political agenda here is a story from National Review Online that you should read. Perhaps they can help you put this in perspective.

I don't think you're fear mongering.
