  1. Trump propaganda says 65,000+ souls without specifying forecast models. Other previous estimates mentioned up to 250,000 souls.

    Evaluating things from the perspective of constant lies fed through the Trump administration, my personal estimate is that Americans should brace for deaths to exceed 250,000 within the next 6-9 months.

    And that, I should admit, is my optimistic side talking! ?

    That being said, I am also optimistic, that the science world will come up with some form of treatment during the next 9 months. Hopefully, that might mitigate the number of people dying because of the virus. But that is just hope and wishful thinking, not a forecast.

  2. Chris, I'm sorry to hear that you and your fellow British citizens are paying the price for such indifference from conservative politicians  to the value of human life. We are paying a similar price on our side of the pond.

    While the situation in the state where I live is not as bad yet, we certainly expect it to get worse. In Pennsylvania we have 11,500 cases with a death toll of 150. New York State is reeling!

    The USA is going to buckle as a result of this pandemic, as is the rest of the world. All I can say is hang in there  and take care of yourselves and families. It is going to be a while before life resembles anything close to what we've come to know as normal.

    Stay safe, stay healthy!

  3. Here in Pennsylvania, to date, there are 35 presumptive positive cases and 6 confirmed cases of COVID-19. Total cases = 41. Of course that's going to skyrocket when they actually do some testing (how ridiculous -tragic for that matter!).

    Schools are closed, some supermarkets limit store hours, the Department of Transportation suspends issuing photo IDs. And that's just the beginning.

    Great gesture from Giannis! Very thoughtful and compassionate.

    Makes you kind of wonder what the billionaire club owners are doing - or not doing as seems the case. That's the sad state of capitalism in the USA - it's about how it is implemented.

  5. On  June 24, Monday night in front of an audience, John Lithgow, Annette Bening, Kevin Kline, Kyra Sedgwick, Alyssa Milano, Michael Shannon, Alfre Woodard, Joel Grey and more took the stage at New York’s Riverside Church for a live reading of “The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts.”

    The 10 acts of the play each had a title corresponding to an act of possible obstruction committed by Trump.

     

  6. In the following weeks, Phantis will introduce a new type of membership: Premium Membership

    Premium Membership will require an annual or monthly subscription. Premium Members will have access to new areas and features. This new type of membership does not affect regular membership, that continues to be open to new registrations and free to join). We will try to outline the benefits of Premium Membership in the coming days. Here's a glimpse of some of the features that Premium Members will have access to:

    • Clubs: A way of supporting sub-communities. A premium member will be able to create and manage his/her own Club. Sort of an area for other vertical interests. For example we have an active club in Guitar World.
    • Blogs: A premium member will have their own blog (if they choose so). They will have full control over content and commentary.
    • Sticky Notes: Premium Members can send sticky notes to others. Sticky notes are like yellow post-it notes that appear on a top layer on the screen until a user dismisses them. They are attention grabbing notes.

    More to follow...

    As we ready things for this new chapter, we would like to thank all the people that have helped with improving our services, and, at one point or another, have dedicated their time in service of their fellow members. As part of our gratitude, we would like to offer these individuals a lifetime of Premium Membership ( - as long as they continue to be in good standing with these forums).

    The following members are as of now Premium Members (in alpha order):

    • Bananas
    • Dutch Eagle
    • Pash

    (In case I am forgetting somebody, I will add to this name list as it comes to mind.)

    For those members that might want to become Premium Members but are not be able to afford the subscription, we invite them to become more active in helping improve this community. In return for their help, we will provide them with some form of premium access.
