What do their 15+ year customers get?Spectrum is offering that as well supposedly.
More than likely. I'm not a fan, but they're the only game in town worth a damn.What do their 15+ year customers get?
A bigger bill?
Italy is "worst case scenario" for just about every country.I said that the mortality rate would be closer to S.Korea’s than Italy’s.
No complaints about their service here. They've upgraded speeds considerably here the last few years. It's disappointing that long-term customers don't get some kind of consideration when handing out freebies.More than likely. I'm not a fan, but they're the only game in town worth a damn.

Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland & England, the six European countries with the largest viral outbreaks, all had declining total new daily cases and/or deaths in the past 24 hours....Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) – World Health Organization
Information on COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus.www.who.int
If you’re interested in numbers and charts, the WHO has some pretty interesting COVID-19 data.
From my perspective there’s good news and bad news here:
1. The number of cases and deaths worldwide continues to rise at a rapid pace.
2. The overall mortality rate is significant at 4.4%. Of course, some countries like ours are behind in testing so the true denominator is probably understated. So the real mortality rate is likely lower.
3. China’s total cases have plateaued as new cases have slowed remarkably. That said, they have strict social controls in place. And, their government has a long history of manipulating data (e.g. economic) to match their narrative.
4. Iran’s and Italy’s new case counts are showing signs of peaking. So their total case counts are growing but decelerating.
5. New US cases are rising exponentially. We know this is partially due to increased testing. But we are also several weeks behind other countries in executing rigorous social distancing practices.
Still some things to be concerned about but there is hope.

I looked it up. In Oregon there are existing statutes which give the governor certain powers when an emergency or public health emergency are declared. The statutes also name the penalty for failure to com0ly with a validly declared emergency order. I imagine every other state has similar provisions.You can guarantee a lawsuit from the ACLU over that. How can people be arrested/fined over constitutionally protected rights? People need to stay the f home but not forced to do it this way.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know hindsight is 20/20, but I feel like the country would have been better off if we would have immediately implemented a full travel ban and home quarantine for 2-3 weeks and then got back to business as usual at home while keeping international travel banned until the rest of the world worked things out.
Now I’m ready for everyone to either **** or get off the pot. I know it’s not easy for those in charge and don’t envy the top.
South Korea has less than 1/6 of our population. South Korea has had 2.01 deaths per million; the US has had 1.27.It's always easy to Monday morning QB, but I'm going to do it anyway. When the post-action report is written there are a few glaring errors that let this get out of hand.
1. Through bad planning and bad luck, we got WAY behind in testing. The CDC insisted on developing its own test, which turned out to be faulty. And they waited too long to give the green light for labs/schools to develop their own. The countries who got ahead of this flooded the zone with tests and quickly developed rapid response tests. Weeks into this we still don't have enough tests and the ones we have take days to get results. South Korea has it down to a walkthrough test where they can text results within hours. Given the long incubation period, it's impossible to control mitigation without an accurate count of who is positive and testing people they have come in contact with.
2. The failure to secure enough PPE equipment to protect health line workers. It's embarrassing that the richest country in the world is relying on donations and good deeds to arm our health care providers.
3. There wasn't a proactive plan to ramp up our hospital capacity as this was breaking out. The military and national guard should have been deployed as needed to hot spots to help build out capacity.
4. There wasn't a clear proactive plan communicated for how we were going to attack this as a nation. The US and South Korea had their first case on the same day. SK had a plan they communicated to their citizens and it has been executed flawlessly. We've seem to be flat-footed and addressing each stage 4-6 weeks behind.
Hopefully, we can dig our way out of it, but it's a big hole.
Oregon’s governor issued the SIP order today. I’m not sure it changes that much for the people who were following the previous rules. Those who weren’t now face a Class C misdemeanor.
Sometimes I’m right, I said that the mortality rate would be closer to S.Korea’s than Italy’s.
In TN, we have a “Safe at Home” order, but there are so many essential businesses, it was hard to tell the difference in just my brief time out of the house today.
April 1st to April 6th is a good range for the restrictions being lifted.

Korea is also a more densely populated country (37,000 ppl per sq mi land area vs 93 ppl per sq mi land area in the US). A contagious disease will spread much more rapidly in more densely populated areas unless it's contained. You can't tell me the US is doing a better job than Korea in containing this, because we're not.South Korea has less than 1/6 of our population.
