The point they're two, three weeks behind the NYT shocks me.

A little more contemporary view is a quick read by Joe Nye, "Is the American Century Over?". It's just 125 pages, not counting the great resources for further reading and end notes. Last year, I was able to spend about an hour and a half listening and being able to ask questions of Nye. He's an interesting fellow. Your post prompted me to go back and read my notes of his talk and the Q&A.
Is the American Century Over? (Global Futures)
For more than a century, the United States has been the…
‘Is the American Century Over?’, by Joseph Nye
Is military and ‘soft power’ enough to make up for relative US economic decline?

And the NYT was slow. When was it even first noted in this thread?
Slowly reopening in GA. Yesterday was my youngest's birthday, so we had our first sit down dinner out since this started. Just went to Carrabba's, party of five. They're essentially seating every other table, servers masked and gloved. One way in, one way out, no seating at bar. My favorite spot in Midtown, Cypress Street Pint & Plate, is reopening today with patio service only. I'm in the office, so I'll definitely wander down there to support them.
We had breakfast at a restaurant in Celina yesterday. It was a nice and needed change.
We've been supporting a few of our local favorites by getting takeout. Looking forward to getting back to the patios.
My wife's work is considering documenting when employees have COVID-19. Do they document those with AIDS, the flu, pneumonia, etc? Big time overreach...
This whole sham needs to be advertised. CDC says 37,000 cases after revising numbers. Open our country now. I need a haircut. 
You mentioned Celena. Weird question, but has your wife or daughter heard of The Glam Gypsy? She is an online boutique in Celina, very sweet gal (husband went to Alabama and son is currently at South Alabama and transferring to The Capstone), and she has bought some hats and supported me very nicely on Instagram.

The 37,000 are provisional numbers. They typically run a week or two behind the telethon-like numbers in the press.
I thought this was a pretty good quote that provides a long-term perspective on our short-term disruption:
"Well, we’ve taken $2 trillion out of the economy potentially with these shutdowns, but the government is putting more than $2 trillion back into the economy. I hate to say it, but we’ve been here before. This is not even our first time with a pandemic. This country has had pandemics roughly every 50 years since 1776, and we’re still here."

Big time Eleven, Big time! But still funny. Fall wedding!
Me too. The ones that just about cause me to come unglued are the ones that imply "well this is life now". Like we are supposed to just fall into a trance and forget life the way it was pre-rona.
Hopefully this is just a parody of an alternate timeline. No official decision has been made...right? LOL

Its not a sham, what you just said is misinformation. No, The CDC Did Not Revise Down The Number Of COVID-19 Deaths
