Maybe. No one knows yet. I know Michigan's peak was estimated to come at or around April 21st, so there's that.

Blaming China is simply an effort to shift the effort of viewing the terrible response to Covid. Did China handle it bad? Sure. It doesn't help the issue at this point.

I wonder if the Chinese regime did it by intent, unleashed a virus by intent? Can that actually be done? I don't know.


Did the Chinese government do this on purpose? No. If that was the case; they would have sent infected people. Infected visitors from the US, etc.

Pride is where they failed. Rather then admit screwing up; they tried to down play it.

Just like the Trump regime. They screwed up and have been struggling to hide it or shift the blame.

Now; the use of Regime. It’s a stupid effort to belittle and delegitimize established governments. I don’t trump; he is corrupt and incompetent for the job. You don’t see me referring to his goverment as a regime.

Hopefully Chinese will break the ancient habit of seeing their "meat" still alive. I see no reason that snake or bat shouldn't be eaten at all, but it will have to be slaughtered, gutted skinned and packed in a factory instead of in a market. Doing that would also legitimize the trade, reducing the burden on wild animals in favour of farmed ones.

Yikes. It looks like ours is gonna be the end of this month? Week after next maybe? I dunno. But mid-May feels like it's forever away.


I think that’s because LA started registering cases before AR. Although national peak for hospital use is estimated to be around April 15th.

For those interested in when your state will have its peaks on both resources and daily deaths, there’s a list further down the article I linked to last. It tells state by state when you’ll likely hit these peaks in your area.

Louisiana’s peak is gonna be...at this rate...Good Friday.

That is...both disturbing...terrifying...and I dunno how to feel about this. The earlier the peak comes the better I guess, but...the peak in resource use is Holy Thursday...

I find it rather alarming that daily deaths and resource peaks are just days apart. Like, beds will be freed up by people dying?

I mean, critical hospital cases tend to resolve in one of two very different ways. Either they get better to the point they no longer need hospital resources, or they pass on, and therefore no longer need hospital resources.

That you use the euphemism "passing on" tells me you find it a bit disturbing too.
