Coronavirus:

Some of the reporting is off. The medical facilities engaged in saving lives puts record keeping at a lower priority. Some of this spike is spill over from under reporting over the past weekend, aka the numbers of people that died over the weekend are only making into the system now.

IMHO this page, 72, should be read by many who say they don't understand what is happening in our country. It explains many facets of todays
economy much better than the so called pundits on TV. The effects of the virus are also explained better than done on TV. Yes, there are some
that do a great job in the media with explanations but it seems to me that the majority of the populace gets there info from TV.

I don't claim to be an expert on anything at this time so if what I said above is wrong it won't affect many.

The evening report on the markets and all regarding the virus and medical developments on CNBC has been excellent for information for many weeks - far better than almost every other source.

Netflicks has added a 30 minutes very interesting show on the Covid-19; from origination to present. Most you've heard before in bits and pieces, but some is new and supported by facts.....although facts these days seem to be subjective.

Not just these days,

A town in Sweden (Lund) just used chicken manure to fertilize a large public gathering place (town's central park) to limit the number of visitors to an annual "picnic" (Walpurgis Night), usually attended by 30,000 people. The lawn did need fertilizing but chicken manure is incredibly stinky.

We used to use a lawn fertilizing service called "Organic Lawns" before they were bought out by "ChemLawn" (which I dropped immediately). The original company focused on treating the soil and in the five years I used them, the soil went from a thin layer of top soil over about 4"-6" of clay to a sandy/silty loam and the lawn responded beautifully. Around year three the fist spring feeding was switched to poultry manure. I came home and almost gagged from the stink. The smell lasts about three days. The lawn responded, it was a nice deep green. No need for signs to warn people to stay off the lawn. Neighbors walking their dogs rushed by or actually crossed the street. Very effective tool to promote extreme social distancing.

Most of the information on COVID-19 is based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions. (This statement itself is based on my own personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.)

Nasty! Just nasty..... Never get down wind from a corporate chicken farm.

Not really believing the former,

How to Murder your wife and blame it on TRUMP.

That's what's going on with the Arizona couple that drank the fish tank cleaner but the other way around. It's under investigation as a possible murder.

I particularly like the man holding the Swiffer and purple gloves.

Yet another spotlight on the high quality citizens of the US.

Yes, and if you're going to plant a vegetable garden, especially one that is going to include seedlings, such as for tomatoes, it's the worst to use because it is too "hot" = too acidic.

Better to use is cow manure, because it is less harsh, but even better is horse manure , which is the "sweetest" of the three. If you assimilate the horse manure while you are beginning to first turn the soil, getting it ready to receive your seeds and seedlings, you will be in a good position to expect the best. The horse manure isn't going to be too harsh for the developing plants and is going to quickly become part of the health of the entire garden effort.

I used that understanding , gained from a Rutgers U. Professor who visited the 100 empty-lot gardens the C.E.T.A. project I authored and lead in our county, back in the 70's, as Summer employment for inner-city youth.

Early in each growing season, we would make the short trip to the local county police stables to collect some of the horse manure for selected gardens in several of the larger empty-lots. Those crops were the most verdant.

Interesting, about chicken shit. I know they used to ship guano half way around the globe, for use as fertilizer. I wonder what the qualitative differences are, in cow manure from grass-fed cows versus Skittle-fed cows?

Used to be a strategic source of saltpeter for gunpower; laws still on the books in the US to claim islands to harvest it.

Let me know when you find someone feeding cows Skittles.
