No, that's 1 frig and 1 freezer (since counting the frig also counts the freezer that comes with it). At least, that's what people mean here in the US when they say 'refrigerator'. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

I said "pantry / storage"
And for all YOU know, one cupboard is all the storage available.

Do you think that would be sufficient?

... your 2 freezers and fridge?
And repeats the lie!



Oh, I hadn't realized that CC was still pushing his lies. Thanks for responding for me.

CC, you have absolutely NO idea what I have or don't have, but that sure doesn't stop you from lying your as off, does it? Let's see ... according to you I'm a Russian troll who lives in Russia or- alternately- a Russian troll who has a ranch and multiple illegal servants in Simi Valley (I think it was) with enough food storage space for the next millenium.

Wrong on all counts, sweet cheeks. But yanno, I never really DID count up my food storage capacity until now. Let me tell you what I DON'T have: I have no "pantry", walkin or other. BUT I BET YOU DO. I don't have shelves in the cellar, because I have no cellar. BUT I BET YOU DO. I don't have a nice modern kitchen with lots of cupboards and cabinets and under-island storage. BUT I BET YOU DO.

I have ... wait for it ... I let my eyes wander over the kitchen. That cupboard is dinnerwear, that one's glassware, the drawer underneath is eating utensils, and the cabinet under that holds a 25-year old food processor and a few other small kitchen appliances. That drawer hold aluminum foil, parchment, storage bags and wax paper, the other ones hold dish towels, aprons, and oven mitts. The poorly-designed space under the oven holds bakeware, the one under the rangetop holds pots and pans. There are a couple of other drawers that hold cooking utensils: large slotted spoon, whisk, rolling pin, vegetable peeler, mandolin, measuring cups and spoons etc. Two other cabinets hold food storage containers, mixing bowls and strainers. I use everything that I store because I cook every goddamn day of the week.

When I stopped, I realized I had ONE small cupboard and ONE small cabinet for food. One frig and one SMALL freezer (one of the smallest you can buy commercially).

It's a typical small isolated unrenovated midcentury American kitchen, built in the postwar housing boom. I don't know what they were thinking when they designed them. Not a lot of storage there. It would be nice to have a farmhouse kitchen, or a nice big open plan kitchen with an island and pantry, but I don't have any of that.

But what does this have to do with Covid-19? Will you please stop shitting up the board with your lies, insinuations, personal attacks and irrelevancies?

Checking back through the data I've been posting, it looks like 'stay at home' is bending the curve of new cases in the US - largely due to the overwhelming contribution of NYC, and bending the curve of new cases in California, and LACounty. There are still new cases, but the numbers of new cases are lower than previously.

New deaths are lagging the decrease, because it takes about 4 weeks between infection and death. But those should be dropping in due time.

The US is still #1! in cases at 388K, Spain is less than half that at 141K, Italy is a smidge under Spain at 136K, then France and Germany at 109K and 107K respectively.

Despite egregious under-counting, the US is not going to lose its number one spot - ever.

Both Spain and Italy are on the downslope. Even though Spain is slightly worse off than Italy in terms of numbers (total cases, total deaths, and normalized to 1M) I think you hear about Italy more because the vast majority is concentrated in a very small area. So even though Italy has a first-world medical system (by which I think means level of technology and availability, not necessarily capacity), it was severely overwhelmed in a smaller area. The US equivalent is NYC.

KIKI your link takes me back to page 1. Can you repost the link to take me to the updsated data?

But in rereading page 1, I see you've been posting about this since BEFORE the first case in the USA! How far we've come since then!

Sorry about that! Hopefully this is the correct one.

And if things continue at the same pace, there'll be 100,000 deaths by April 27.

It appears to be expanding at a rate of X10 every 13days.

10,000 deaths was reached April 6, 2020 (not too bad an estimate for eyeball-extrapolating a graph). But the curve is wiggling - the rate of increase went up which is why 10k was earlier, then it went way down. Over the last week, it appears to be expanding at a rate of X10 every 20days. If it continues at its recent pace, it'll be 20 days from April 6, 2020 to 100,000 deaths, or about April 26, 2020.

Almost 2,000 deaths in one day. I think prolly more, since some deaths aren't being properly recorded. That makes it the SECOND-leading cause of death, right behind heart attacks which clock in at about 2,300 per day.

Whew!

Since we have absolutely no way of knowing who is and who is not infected, except for people who are extremely ill going to hospitals that actually have the ability to test for the virus, there is zero reason to think that there have actually been less cases after the lockdown.

You're reading your own desires into results of a grand "scientific" test that doesn't have any constant and has far too many variables.

Don't lie to yourself.

Well, I set a time limit to go into Kevin's wall of shame, and time's up! But there are 61 individual lies, trolls, snarks, insults, unsupported opinions, non-facts, dodges, irrelevancies, and implied threats in his posts through March 17 in this thread alone. And that includes a number of days where he didn't post at all. And that ALSO leaves weeks more to count!

And there's not one single fact, or link, about COVID-19.

If what you do is what you are, that's exactly what Kevin is.

So, putting him on 'ignore', since he's utterly irrelevant.
