My county today released a COVID-19 diagnosis map by zip code. My zip code is in the 0-1 range. Interestingly, the zip codes w/ the largest # of diagnoses are mostly upscale east side suburbs...maybe medical professionals live in those zip codes and have been more likely to have been tested?

My county got an 'A', -41% change in average distance traveled. 125 confirmed cases.

Yeah, if you look at the curve on China data, it seems unlikely to have such a dramatic stabilization.. https://www.bing.com/covid/local/chinamainland Then you have Russia where the numbers seem extremely low relative to their population. https://www.bing.com/covid/local/russia

That looks like something that would be around $75-85k around here.

This house besides being empty for about 8 years (w/ leaky roof) hadn't been updated in decades, still had 1970s appliances in the kitchen. I don't know how much they put into it in remodeling, but they bought it for $130k w/ back taxes of $95k, and are now asking $275k (down from $295)....this in a neighborhood where similar 1967 houses from the same builder w/ the same floorpan/design are going for $165-185k.... the house on the other side of me (same design) is for sale by owner for $185k, looks to be last updated in the late 90s...

The house next door that had been empty since around 2010 (I moved here in 2017) sold last June and was remodeled slowly over the last 6+ months. It's been on the market for a month now, and they've cut the price 3 times, down by $20k now...it needs to go down another $80-100k to be in line w/ other houses in the neighborhood, I'm afraid. I walked through it when they did the first open house, it's been updated in typical current style of gray everywhere, white painted over natural wood, and the generic suburban oval window front door..nothing particularly unique. Not much storage space. Backyard needs a lot of work. The problem for these flippers is the amount they bought it for + the back taxes is considerably higher than what comparable houses in the neighborhood go for, not even including the costs of their refurb.

Starting to see signs of spring in my yard..

Now the Trump trash are accusing Fauci of siding with the 'deep state'.. https://mavenroundtable.io/theintellectualist/news/trump-supporters-turn-on-dr-fauci-claiming-he-s-a-member-of-the-deep-state-NewK4dKgLUCIK9Dn-jzr9g/?utm_source=SP&utm_medium=SP&utm_campaign=SP&utm_term=SP&utm_content=SP&fbclid=IwAR0DVHrGrtMgEhpR1snrlGXtajvREmk1pJyUgtzMvpOp74Nwa9WpqOJUisc

I enjoy Phil, both solo and with Genesis...esp. his 80s work...

Yeah, right... Trump is only concerned about the pandemic because he's losing money at his resorts and investments. He couldn't care less about the American people or humanity as a whole, he's a malignant narcissist, not a savior as his brain dead constituency thinks.

Here's a good example of facts...less than a month ago 45 was calling the coronavirus pandemic a 'hoax' at a rally of his imbecile fans in SC.. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/02/28/trump-hold-south-carolina-rally-before-democratic-primary-election/4887015002/?fbclid=IwAR1UWnRw2tDp_uPwHfBs6KAGXW7TfwfDu4-ybMi7iIOSuBEG4xXdYjXGqkw I'm sure plenty of them still believe it's a hoax.

May get the leaf vacuum out tomorrow and clean up a bit, fill up a bin w dead branches. Still about 3 weeks before the yard guys start for the season. Maybe get the grille out...

Took a lawn chair and went out and sat in my backyard this afternoon, enjoying the early signs of spring, the birds and the dogs enjoyed running around. Staying sane.

45 was saying he wanted the US open for business by Easter to fill up churches, but that seems unlikely.

Beautiful blue skies and sun here in NE Ohio...was sitting out in my backyard for a while...looking forward to going back to the beaches and islands hopefully by summer...

All good and well, but you still have to leave the house to go to Costco. My local grocery does home delivery and curbside delivery, I'm going to utilize home delivery from them (and Amazon/Whole Foods) as long as it's available and avoid being out in public.. Another good resource is Microsoft's Bing COVID-19 page.. https://www.bing.com/covid

My neighborhood is super quiet. A fair number of retirees I think. I stocked up a lot at the grocery a week ago and still get deliveries from Amazon and the grocery, along w/ the occasional Doordash order. Really no different from this past winter except for not eating out and fewer trips to the grocery.

golfgator.

They have the C-HR, but it doesn’t look very practical as a CUV.

So while large parts of the country are locked down, buddies of mine from high school are posting pics from an afternoon out golfing in Florida. Florida seems to be a bit behind the curve on pandemic response...

Interesting...didn't realize they were building Traxes in MX...thought they were still sourced from SK.

I haven't seen anything about specific areas, but did read they are now 2 days without a new locally transmitted confirmed infection... https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/asia/coronavirus-covid-19-update-china-intl-hnk/index.html

Which is why a CPO looks like a better deal to me.

When I went to the auto show a month ago or so the Trax was $31k, the Equinox $41k, the Blazer $51k....madness...

That like a top of the line Corolla? Seems into Camry territory. I just can't imagine almost 30k for a generic compact FWD 4cyl sedan...
