The Democrats are between a rock and a hard place.

If Bernie is the candidate, he will lose Florida=lose the election.

If they screw Bernie, a lot of the losers will just not get off the couch to vote, they will not have party loyalty to the hypocrites in the DNC.

I guess this is the final stage of the total humiliation of the loser party.

Anyone think testing for the COVID-19 virus will be easy

I do. I was on the team the designed the 7500 in the picture as well as other PCR machines. Every fucking hospital in the country has a PCR machine. It's like the soda station at McDonalds as far as molecular biology labs go and not hard at all.

It's ridiculous we haven't been testing way more people. It's cheap, fast and super sensitive. Perhaps false positives but so what. Complete malpractice on the part of our government agencies who've been lying their asses off.

They're not even hiding it; they know they can't. They're simply depending on the Media to make it sound less awful and undemocratic than it will be.

They should be at all airports and everyone should be tested before leaving the building. When I was working at Applied Biosystems we started to build a special system for the Air Force. Grant was shit though so we quit.

Each machine which is super cheap by the way can test nearly 384 people in one run. Have to leave some wells for controls. It takes a couple of hours. It's been over a decade since I worked on them but back then some companies sold tetrad machines. They held 4 plates of 384 wells each so could be way more by now for all I know.

Suddenly, it was Trump's economy again in a matter of days; Obama long forgotten.

They could test them before they get on the plane so by the time they land they have their results.

Somebody should ask Bernie again if he thinks it's rigged.

PREDICTION:

Bernie has over 550 delegates and between 36-40% (or more) of all pledged delegates by the close of Super Tuesday.

now seriously pushing driver's licenses for illegals

Whats their argument in favor of it? Some junk about it being a human right? "will reduce crime rate" (because their driving gets made legal)?

NoCoupForYou says

Cash For Clunkers, still producing dividends a decade later!

Insurance executives are making a killing off obamacare. ANTM is up 500% since obamacare began. It's pure crony capitalism fleecing the taxpayer for the benefit of politically connected.

Good job obama!

That's a really great idea. I wish I'd thought of that!

You have to be super specially careful with the sample. The rest is kindergarten level work. Go Troll elsewhere. The software (I wrote part of it) does the work.

VINCENT says

But sooo worth it!

You sure are asking lot of irrelevant questions Mr. Corntrollio after I destroyed your post implying it was difficult to test.

Again, anyone who has never seen a fast food restaurant, like you and innocently like the people you are trying to defraud, might say:

Wow! You don't even have to go INSIDE! A voice asks the questions at your CAR! You pay through a window and nearly instantly the hot order comes out!!! It must be SOOO hard!

Meanwhile since the 1980s 10s of 1000s of molecular biologists around the country run PCR tests day in, day out trying not to blow their brains out when they leave work because their job is so boring and repetitive. During lunch they likely at least once per week bitch about the boring work. While setting up PCR reactions they're jamning out to Metallica, yacking about the weekend with their peers, texting and reading social media on their phones; maybe trading some stocks on their machines. No gloves, no lab coat. Some snuck in with socks and sandals.

I'm sure the bad old protocol looks uber difficult to you.

The Democrats are between a rock and a hard place.

There is a slight chance of even worse - that if Bernie gets cheated, a third party will form. AOC is already spouting how the Democratic Party is "center" and not "left" so AOC and some like minded followers may split off. Bernie himself, however, has proven that he will support the one who cheated him as long as Bernie is paid enough.

Their main argument for it (and I am not joking) is that the illegals need to drive to get to work. They also say that children of illegals need to be driven to school activities. The real reason though, is that licenses paired with automatic voter registration at DMV fills the voter rolls. The Dems are also trying to eliminate Voter ID, they are that blatant about it.

The best data we have is from the Diamond princess. There were 3711 people on board. 705 of them got sick, this being in confined spaces with other sick people. So this is about 19% (on average about 8% of the people come down with the flu per year in the general population). 6 of those that got sick died (at least 3 of those were over 80; I was unable to find the ages of the other 3). I am willing to bet the other 3 were also elderly and/or had other health problems as cruise passengers tend towards a more elderly population.

So, for the most part its effects seem similar to just another strain of the flu, but yes the media will hype it for all it's worth. You gotta print about something.

Misc says

just another strain of the flu,

To which there is no vaccine and so far as we know, little natural or built up immunity. It appears to more contagious than run of the mill flu. Even a partially vacinated population dramatically slows the spread of the flu. In a totally vulnerable world population could Infect 100s of millions, or not

No one, Including the moron POTUS, knows how this will play out. But it's not a hoax or fake news or concocted by the Dems or HILLARY to tank the economy and fuck up his reelection prospects. Pathetic. Narcissist..

The 1918 flu dimmed as the summer came on but reignited in the winter of 1919, killed millions.

The W5000 is up 33% since November 2016

HeadSet says

My state Virginia has turned Blue in the last election because of redrawn districts, the growth in DC suburbs, carpet baggers from Blue states, and an increased population of illegals. This new Dem majority is now seriously pushing driver's licenses for illegals along with automatic voter registration at the DMV.

Don’t let that happen like us dumb retards did in CA.

Yah in California they SWORE that illegals wouldn’t get registered to vote just because they got drivers licenses and made this great distinction about how the licenses the illegals would get being different somehow.
Result?
They automatically registered hundreds of thousands of illegals to vote in California...where they don’t even need an ID.
Democrats are awful and I truly hope the party dies in November.

It will happen - fucking transplants from California are messing up even our Great State of Texas.

I’ll second this.

Zerohedge, that center of calm and considered reporting.

WERE ALL GONNA DIE! ONLY PUTIN CAN SAVE HUMANITY!

About time.

Dems were buying votes with that program, giving away our tax dollars in exchange for votes.

Good to see that scam curbed a bit.

From what I read recently here and there, it seems Coronavirus:
1. More infectious than the flu
2. Higher mortality rate , 1%+, flu 0.1% (10x higher mortality)
3. Long virus survival on surfaces
4. Long incubation in host

I sure don’t want to catch it.

Those first two statements are pure bullshit and an outright lie.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/live-from-hong-kong-to-date-in-2020-influenza-the-flu-accounts-for-more-than-50-times-the-number-of-deaths-as-the-coronavirus-in-hong-kong/

Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas on earth with a population of around 8 million people. As of this morning there are 94 coronavirus cases confirmed and two deaths in Hong Kong. The percent of confirmed cases to total population is minuscule at 0.001%. Deaths as a percent of the population are thus far at 2 deaths in 8 million.

China has a population of around 1.4 billion. The number of coronavirus confirmed cases stands at 79,251 with around 2,700 confirmed deaths. The percent of confirmed cases to the population is also minuscule at 0.0056%. Deaths as a percent of the population are basically nil. These numbers are based on reported cases which may or may not be accurate.

The US has reported 64 confirmed cases to date of the coronavirus and no fatalities. With 350 million Americans the number of confirmed cases is also at amounts almost nil with no deaths.

Since the beginning of the year the flu in Hong Kong has been much more consequential than the coronavirus:

The Centre for Health Protection announced today that the winter flu season has ended. During this period, 113 adults died of influenza and no deaths from children were recorded. The Centre reminds the public that although the winter flu peak period has ended, citizens should continue to maintain personal and environmental hygiene to prevent respiratory diseases.

We know that the flu kills thousands in the US each year:

Please folks don't be China's useful Idiot bitch.

Of course, the MSM will continue to parrot Democrat talking points that the coronavirus is the worst crisis since World War II. The data simply doesn’t show this and to date the common flu is much, much more deadly.

The mortality rate for healthy adults is 0.2%, so 'only' doubly lethal compared to the flu. It does seem to hit the elderly and sick much harder than the flu which in turn is more dangerous to kids. Seems to be more contagious than flu but it's not proven since many cases go undetected for both.

If you miss this temporary buying opportunity you’ll miss out. Let stupid Dems panick. I’m here to make profit.

In the past 5 years I have taken my mortgage from $140K down to less than $25K I'll be paid off this year. Since I started slamming my Mortgage, the Insurance company has backed off and hasn't given me a substantial increase. They are nothing more than bully predators, they raise the insurance on those who they know can afford it least.
For about 4 years straight starting about a year after I moved in. They would send an inspector out, a bum really with no real credentials. Which a week later I would get a letter explaining why my Insurance was going up $500-$1K more a year. I would replace Electric boxes, ripped out window units and put in split ACs on my flatroof rooms in the back. It didn't mater they next year they would find a new reason. Finally after about 4 years of it, and about 5 years ago, they told me. No matter what they would always raise my insurance because I have more than 10% under flatroof.

They fucking know they'll never ever see another penny from me. If I had of had the money I have spent on Premiums since I have been here, sitting in the bank. Then when I got hit by Hurricane Irma I would have my roof fixed a week later. But because of the bureaucratic bullshit in dealing with the Insurance company, it took me over 1 1/2 years before my roof got replaced and all of the work was done. Which may have caused more damage, my roof was open with just the underlayment on it for over 6 months. That's not the insurance fault, but it's because the insurance company tried to lowball me and give me a check for $700 just to patch. The roofer company went to battle with the insurance company and fought to make them pay up for the full roof replacement which I needed. By then my roofer kept telling me, the white roof tiles I want are in high demand, and other reasons.
But had I been paying out of my own pocket and didn't feel beholden to the company that at least got the insurance company to do they right thing.
Then I could have fired the roofer for not being on the ball. I was in trades for much of my younger adult life, I know how they will blow off jobs, they think they can bullshit.

I would have had my roof done before the month was over had I paid out of pocket. I plan on dumping my insurance and will be glad to justify it to anyone. I'll just make sure I put in a comparable premium into a savings account for maintenance and upkeep. That way I'll fix what ever needs it without some bureaucratic body's permission.

Homeowners insurance is for Suckers. Especially if you own outright. But don't be stupid, you got to put that money away for when you need it.

The loss of equity in the markets may be the oligarchs telling us they disapprove of the idea of electing Bernie Sanders.

Yes, because the oligarchs are the ones who control the wealth, they don't want communism.

Entrepreneurs don't want communism either.

Democratic socialists and communists forget where wealth comes from. Wealth is not just held by the oligarchs; it is the stock in trade that makes our economy go. Communists always claim to want to redistribute from the wealthy to "help the working man"; but they appeal to the lazy man. Wealth is created by work. It is not something that just is. It is created by creativity, sweat, tears, and suffering.

If you tell the working man "You didn't build that" after he spent his hard hours of labor creating something of value, he'll stop working. Take the fruits of his labor and redistribute it to those who don't work and pretty soon we will all be equally poor, except the redistributors, they'll be living in the old oligarchs castles directing the slave labor so that they can maintain their lifestyle.

TDS in the left is getting worse by the minute.

When you cut welfare for these worthless gag lice, they go crazy. They can’t comprehend doing something productive. So TDS is their shitty coping mechanism. Worthless leftist trash.
