Lol, perfect!

OK, from now on it's "corona food" and "coronatown"!

After all, if it's wrong to say "China" when talking about the Chinese virus, then it's wrong to say "China" in Chinese food and Chinatown.

Shit keeps getting more real in Italy:

Lombardy, at the epicenter of the epidemic, said about 100 soldiers would soon be deployed to help local police enforce the lockdown, and called on the government to impose new measures to keep Italians at home.

THat's clever, although probably not SF or NY city.

From asshoe!

You can see by the hot african countries not getting any traction in infections that it's very heat susceptible. If we had actual globull warming and not the fucking coldest spring ever in CA we would get out of the woods much sooner. Greta and the church of globull warming followers want more people to die! How dare they!

The luxuries and fixations of the culture wars may finally be over. Nobody will mourn its passing, because nobody conclusively won it, or ever could. In Samuel P. Huntington’s magisterial Who Are We? (2004) he noted that the absence of an external ‘other’ to rally against usually undermines the unity of a society. Divisions and grievances multiply. Cultural battles replace political process. Huntington could see a future America with only an Obama-style ‘creed’ as the basis of its polity. Following such a trajectory this America evolves into a deglutinated confederation of ethnic, cultural and political tribes with nothing in common save geography. Like the Ottoman Empire, or Austro-Hungarian Empires before it, the USA dissolves in an acid bath of competing identities.

But then again, maybe not. Maybe, as the learnèd philosopher Matthew McConaughey posits, COVID-19 is the external ‘other’, the enemy, that can bring America back together again.

Nah... I thought 911 was bringing us together but look what happened a few short years later.

911 reinvigorated the Left, it gave them fresh Allies and a common enemy, Western Civ and Christian White Males. They dusted off all their anti-colonialism rhetoric of the 60s, and added LGBTQ+ to it as proof Amerikkka was OPPRESSIVE!

While studiously ignoring Islam's LGBTQ record, of course.

We're coming in anywhere between 25%-30% new infections again today with testing now at high capacity. While we're probably the last nation to peak this growth is less than what China and Europe experienced. If we get New York under control which now accounts for ~ 50% of infections then we should be fine soon. The good news is that European countries are now mostly between 10%-15% new infections, some up to 25%, but definitely the European curve looks like it's starting to flatten. Everyone just needs some warm weather now. More globull warming!

Damn, hard to even look without the desire to share germs with her.

What are the fcking odds that a heat susceptible virus pandemic engulfs CA during the fcking coldest winter and spring ever. March and april always used to be good for the first intense heat wave of the year. Instead we are bracing for another arctic storm. More! Warming! Now!

Not eggs, baby birdies! Great twitter thread btw.

Saw a Chinese woman picking mussels of the rocks on the Pacifica coast today. Almost laughed.
