In my state (the glorious south) they passed legislation a few years back allowing any adult to have a loaded pistol on their vehicle, and extended the castle doctrine to include one's vehicle.

There is a law working its way through the house (it will pass) allowing any adult to carry, no licence required.

God bless the USA

so uhhh just taking a look at the UK numbers and their testing rate still sucks but even given that:

-#3 today overall in new deaths (~1k a day already)
-#2 today overall in new cases
11.7% of all positive UK tests were today.

it feels like things are quickly slipping out of total control there. they have the US' daily death rate but nowhere near our population and were "behind" us on the curve given we're learning it spread to NY in mid Jan via Europe.

Are we still at 5 days doubling time? I really don't see how 40 million Americans have this right now and it doesn't end with everyone getting it in the first wave.

you can catch it multiple times, so it doesn't matter how many people catch it on the first wave

for real though im not eating out or anything and its actually a drug that makes you kind of OK with being bored with _overall_ pretty minimal side effects. also i dont feel like withdrawing right now. not going to recommend anyone smoke or anything with the roni or claim it's healthy or smart but like... let us have something in this unprecedented time of global panic??

Yeah, we're kind of expecting to lose upwards of 20% of the team once the green light is given to go back into the office to recoup lost profits.

"Vermont is tracking the race of people dying from COVID-19 in the state, but documenting that same information for those who tested positive is lagging.

As of the week of March 30, the race/ethnicity of those who have tested positive is unknown in 73% of cases, according to Patsy Kelso, the state's epidemiologist. Of the remaining cases, 97% were reported as white and 100% were identified as not Hispanic or Latinx."

illinois said firearm permits are gonna get treated as renewed for another year because they realize their already unconstitutional law (that no other state has) would get challenged even easier since its literally impossible to renew right now with the office for it closed down

IL's two unique laws: everyone who wants to buy a gun or ammo has to get a permit for it, and condos/HOAs can straight up evict people for fines/dues and then rent the property out to someone else
