Personally don't like the race to the bottom.

Seems like the state/cities are trying to make up for lost revenue.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:25 pmI'm listening to the Timcast, and someone said they got fined too. A second violation is $7,500.

Speaking for myself, I've never seen a roadblock like that. I've never heard of losing your license for having a cell phone in a cupholder or $1000 tickets for riding in the wrong person's car. That all sounds like something out of an Orwell novel, not like anything in my experience.
$7,500 sounds like Felony Theft when 33 percent of people don't have 300 Dollars savedshekels wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:36 pmSeems like the state/cities are trying to make up for lost revenue.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 8:25 pmI'm listening to the Timcast, and someone said they got fined too.

For $7,500 would you just ask for a Jury trial?
I'm sorry but your numbers are wrong.
Most obits of non-celebrities that I see do not state the cause of death.vnatale wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 9:47 am It just occurred to me when thinking about how often I now see / hear / read people making references to how many flu deaths we have every year.
Have any of you ever read an obituary wherein it is stated that they died from the flu? I do not believe that I have.

The President said, a month ago:
"And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."
So it must be down to just a handful by now.
Not in an obituary. But sometimes through word of mouth I'll hear about an older person dying of pneumonia. Presumably the pneumonia is some kind of secondary infection brought on by something like the flu. But that level of detail rarely comes up in the conversations.
Don't death certificates have to specify a cause of death? And, if so, is "old age" a cause?Tortoise wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 10:43 amNot in an obituary.

If someone dies of pneumonia, I'm not sure if doctors categorize the official cause of death as "pneumonia" or the primary illness that eventually led to the pneumonia. And if the person who died was really old and frail, it seems like the illness that tipped them over the edge is more of a minor detail and they kind of just died unofficially of "old age."
Yes, I believe they do, and no, I don't think "old age" is an official cause (hence my use of the term "unofficial" in relation to it).
Agreed. The daily press conferences were terrible for starting late, but it seems they have gotten the word that TV news and millions of people are expecting these at a certain time, and they've gotten better.vnatale wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 10:53 am As I continue to watch this House of Representatives debate and see almost all of them go over their allotted times I am reminded of something I frequently say: "I don't trust anyone with my money who is clearly demonstrating to me that they cannot manage time."
