If I was a hotel owner there's no way I would agree to that contract unless the city agreed to pay for all damages and legal fees related to eviction expenses.

Those hotels will have to close for extensive renovation afterwards. All carpeting, drapes, bedding, towels, sheets, every fabric surface will have to be replaced before anyone would return for a stay. Sure as hell not for the nightly rate they were charging before.

But you raise the question of damages to the hotel. That's under BI insurance for physical damages. I would think that the insurers for those hotels would be screaming bloody murder and threatening cancellation, if they do that.

How do people live like this? Commuting with lots of traffic is bad enough but this looks miserable. If I am going into nature, it's to get the **** away from people, not experience more traffic.

Looks like Iran is basically telling China to **** off with their garbage statistics as well.

HUGE STORY:

There was a war by words between spokesman of Iran's Health Ministry Dr Jahanpur and China's ambassador to Iran Amb Chang Hua after the former questioned China's Coronavirus figures as "a bitter joke", adding "you must think twice when China says tamed disease in 2 months"

Ambassador Chang Hua answered that Jahanpour better read figures carefully before drawing conclusion and then in Farsi advised the spokesman to respect facts and great efforts of Chinese people. Jahanpour answered that Iran trusts finding of its own medical experts more.

With the continuation of the dispute, HM's Spokesman Jahanpour backed down & appreciated China for its medial support by tweeting Iranians never forget nations and governments that stood by them at this global pandemic. Iran.

But it wasn't the end of the saga as member of Health Ministry's infectious diseases cmte. Minou Mohraz also questioned China's statistics & reports on Coronavirus. Mohraz says either Coronavirus has had a genetic mutation or China didn't tell the truth about COVID-19.

Dr. Mohraz who is famous for being an outspoken person, states "we can neither count on China's statistics about COVID-19 nor accept that it only spread in Wuhan. It seems to be more dangerous & contagious than what reported by China". @COVID19Up @coronavirusinfo

No one believes China. I hope there is a major reckoning for them when this is all over.

Starve the dragon for it surely will scorch the Earth.

Reminds me of the story of the frog and the scorpion. "Its in my nature." Dont be the frog.

Louisiana's numbers looking encouraging.

They just dropped 150 off cent in one day in New Orleans? Did they die or were they better and able to be taken off vent?

Here's the LINK

The number of deaths were doubling every two days statewide. Now the CFR is doubling every 7 days. So improvement.

ETA: Wait, it may be that patients were being transferred out of New Orleans to other regions so the vent data is a bit misleading. I'll continue to check on that but the number of daily deaths is definitely down over about the last week or so.

Actually if you don't take care of yourself and take precautions it's hard for me to have sympathy. I am still having to go to work everyday so I know the risks but I don't go to block parties and I am also healthy.

I doubt it's the people going to block parties that are dying. It's their grandparents and older people in the communities.

exactly. they are still having to go to work at blue collar jobs and their whole families live together, so they bring it home.

Well that and blacks also have the highest rates of obesity in the country by far, which is one of the major contributing factors to hospitalization and death.

Most of the people ignoring these ordinances don't work and are on welfare.

yes, I'm sure that the garbage men, the bus drivers, janitors, maintenance staff, cashiers at the grocery stores, stockers etc are all living out in the suburbs.

Never said they did but blue collar workers typically don't work in inner cities.

Also, those jobs aren't blue collar jobs, those are service jobs. Blue collar jobs are skilled labor such as welding, pipe fitting, oil and gas jobs, construction workers, factory workers, etc.
