This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue.

OK, here's another graph.
Blue - US
Red - Canada
Green - France
Orange - Germany
Purple - UK
Black - Spain
White - Italy
Y-Axis is cases per million, X-Axis is days since cases per million was at one.

Doing some quick regression from the US data, it could get very grim. Or it might start turning around next week. See you next week when I check the figures again.

How many major cities would you say the US has compared to all those other countries though?
I do hope this whole bull hockey will be resolved soon. The economy has come to a standstill, and people are afraid. The one constant through all this pain and suffering... is the dark times eventually flip over. Things get better, even for the short term. And it may be a long time coming... but I think the darkest of the night is indeed right before the dawn. Not for those who have been lost to the darkness forever, of course. But I hope they eventually have the peace they deserve.
And, you know, as much as I find Mr. 45 a walking, professional embarrassment, I can't help but appreciate the stimulus he has given people, no matter the reasons you could speculate. Please don't take this the wrong way - like I said, I am political. I don't vote. Nor would I want to. Just being real.
I'd like to say this. Has anyone else been watching Outbreak recently? You know, during this quarantine? Some call it an action flick, and I can't disagree, but I also think it has a lot of fidelity to realism in today's world, without the excesses of today's world. Granted, COVID-19 is nowhere near the level of Motaba, but the general social themes are still as relevant as ever. Or do you disagree? I've seen numerous people say they hate Outbreak and prefer Contagion, a film I have not watched, but it is high up on my list to do so. What do you think?
