Shopping today in our (sanitized, re-used) N95 respirators. I consolidate errands into one day, which saves the hassle and risk of putting on/taking off masks; we just don them and leave them on until we get home, then we sanitize in the entryway and toss our masks into the "dirty" box for them to be sanitized again.
I often go to two stores because one often has what the other doesn't. Also to the drive-thru pharmacy, the drive thru post office, and the gas station bc needed a fillup. I thought to try Instacart, but they can't deliver for 5 days and I need groceries THIS week, not next! So at store #1 about 1/3 people were wearing some sort of mask or another, at store #2 about half. Some were wearing bandanas, most were wearing procedure masks, a few were wearing paper N95 resirators (like us) and one guy ... I swear to god ... was wearing a full-on army surplus gas mask. I noticed our cashier had a mask, and when I commented she said that she got it from a customer and that management finally let them wear them. Why in god's name would you NOT allow mask-wearing? Even the post office, which has a notorious stick up its ass, was letting people wear masks from home two weeks ago.
So #STAYTHEFUCKHOME doesn't apply to you - #NOSURPRISE #MEFIRSTEFFEVERYONEELSE

How do you know they had more than one mask? Maybe the man was, "no, you wear it." If one gets sick it doesn't mean the other does. You're such a bmdf.

Apparently YOU don't know what a stay-at-home order is!
For the record - and this is the second time I'm letting you know - here in California it means FOR ALL BUT ESSENTIAL NEEDS. Like yanno, picking up prescriptions and grocery shopping, or maintaining critical services and infrastructure.
https://covid19.ca.gov/stay-home-except-for-essential-needs/
What can I do? What’s open?
Essential services will remain open, such as:
Gas stations
Pharmacies
Food: Grocery stores, farmers markets, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and delivery restaurants
Banks
Laundromats/laundry services
Essential state and local government functions will also remain open, including law enforcement and offices that provide government programs and services.

Well this is interesting - that '100,000 - 240,000 deaths' number so often cited in the news looks like it was some WH wild-ass-guess. It may not be good. But then, it may be great! Nobody knows.
Disease Forecasters doubt White House’s 240,000 coronavirus deaths estimate
https://www.livetradingnews.com/experts-trumps-advisers-doubt-white-ho
uses-240000-coronavirus-deaths-estimate-171512.html
The experts said they don’t challenge the numbers’ validity but said they don’t know how the White House arrived at them.
At a task force meeting this week, according to two officials with direct knowledge of it, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told others that there are too many variables at play in the pandemic to make the models reliable: “I’ve looked at all the models. I’ve spent a lot of time on the models. They don’t tell you anything. You can’t really rely upon models.”
Robert Redfield, director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the vice president’s office have similarly voiced doubts about the projections’ accuracy, the three officials said.
Jeffrey Shaman, a Columbia University epidemiologist whose models were cited by the White House, said his own work on the pandemic doesn’t go far enough into the future to make predictions akin to the White House fatality forecast.

One positive thing about 'stay at home' here in SoCal is that I'm getting almost no robocalls.
Though I don't quite understand the mechanics of it all. How does one even FIND a job at a call center? AFAIK it's not legal ... so ... And then, how does a call center get shut down? AFAIK it's not like they're legal employers, so what do they care about having people come in? And AFAIK it's not like the people working there are rolling in dough and can just say, take this job and shove it ... And AFAIK it's not like the people who're renting out the spaces to the robocallers' operations are monitoring whether people are coming or going, or not. It's a puzzle.

How the top 10 rankings have changed over time. When I started posting the data, I chose a 5,000 case cutoff.

Surely, we can do better than that.
We're not even close to the 156,164 deaths per day from other things.
Even less impressive when you realize that most of those 1,000 are just taken prematurely from other categories.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Your logic is faulty, as is your data.

That 156,164 per day ... you're talking about the USA only right???
Oh, you mean the WHOLE WORLD?
Well. How about getting some comparable figure FOR THE USA ONLY?
I know, I know ... too much logic for you! The answer is that IN THE USA approximately 7,500 people die each day. https://www.indexmundi.com/blog/index.php/2018/03/05/how-many-people-d
ie-a-day-in-the-us/ At 1,000 deaths per day from coronavirus, that's starting to make up significant fraction of "everything else" which includes heart attacks, cancer, auto accidents and homicide.
In fact, at 1,000 deaths per day, Covid-19 is the third leading cause IN THE USA, right behind heart attacks and cancer.
