Covid-19

I don't see the order online yet, but talking to some FL LEO friends, it looks like Florida LEAs will begin forcible removal of spring breakers from the beach.

Can the cops swim? Cause I'd swim out about 100 yards and make them get me in a boat. Make it entertaining. You know, like the streakers in sports stadiums.
 
POTUS should relax rules for truckers or at least give then left lane priority on Interstates!

Truckers don’t deal in fear. They have a job to get done. They get up, hop in the cab, and take to the road. Truckers always deliver, even when there’s a natural disaster or expanding crisis.

That’s because America depends on them. Families and businesses need food, fuel and life’s essentials. Hospitals need medicine and critical, life-saving supplies. We all depend on truckers for the staples that enable our basic survival.

Total deaths in the U.S. from Covid-19 have moved past 200+ since the virus was first reported here in late Jan/early Feb. That total will rise but, in keeping things in perspective, the morbid side of me got to thinking about how it compares to other "common" types of death in the U.S.

Here's what I found (the article is from 2016, but I imagine still fairly accurate):

8 surprisingly common causes of death that sound like freak accidents

951 deaths = contact with power lawnmower

1,139 = falls involving ice skates, skis, roller skates, or skateboards

1,413 = fall from tree

1,842 = caught, crushed, jammed, or pinched in or between objects

2,167 = constipation (I know...don't ask me...)

10,206 = accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed

10,386 = fall involving bed

So, as we spend more time sequestered in our homes, take care as you tuck yourself into bed tonight. Life is dangerous.
 
^ BTW, before anyone brings it up, those numbers are over quite a few years (1999 - 2014), not annually. Posted just for a bit of levity.
 
Rumor is LE and the NG are going to be apart of enforcing that order. I’m so glad to live in the People’s Socialist Republic of California. It’s the perfect place for a viral outbreak.

Do you have a source? That's quite a claim to make.
