So all the ranting about Trump being a racist for closing travel from China is going to be apologized for?

Who ranted about it ? It wasn't me or any moderates liberals.

Why is it that all the shit you point out about supposed lefties has nothing to do with anyone I know ( okay maybe one or two sjws I know).

How can anyone not understand that you and your type want the division. Your side is the haters. In order to define me as being on the hater side you always associate me with whacko wierdos. You could never tolerate someone that wants to bring a strong middle together behind a leader that is good for most of us.

All you care about is spreading your "us against them" message. I guess we need a better word.

You're a dividist.

All you care about is your pathetic us against them message. Yes, I hate Trump and what he stands for every bit as much as you hate the SJWs and the wierdos.

So we should find leaders that are for both of us.

It's not Trump. Deal with it. Or continue with your constant stream of straw men of abberant behavior and ideas.

Ok maybe you really don’t have cable, cause it was CNN and MSNBC 24/7

CovfefeButDeadly says

Holy crap!

Time to close the border with Canada!

Okay, joking aside, the plan (for the few who had one) was never to stop the virus, only to slow it down so health care systems don't get overwhelmed. I think we're late. I worry about my baby sis who is the charge nurse for an emergency room at a major hospital in San Antonio. Somehow they convinced her to take the night shift which isn't super for the immune system.

We should probably close the border with Canada if we hope to reach that goal.

Containment measures seem to be kicking in slowly but surely. US coming in at 21% growth down from 26%.

"Everything we do before a pandemic will seem alarmist. Everything we do after will seem inadequate." - Michael Leavitt, former HHS Secretary under President George W. Bush

THAT would eat a lot of yams.

It is a pandemic not seen before

Tim Aurora says

right wingers are trying to downplay it because of Trump

More like left wingers are trying to blame it all on Trump, because they blame everything on Trump, all the time and give him credit for nothing, ever.

Thus the NY Times proposing to call it "Trumpvirus", claiming he proposed cutting CDC funding for infectious diseases when he did not, etc.

And Biden accusing Trump of "xenophobia" for ending flights with China at the end of January, but this going unreported as the slander it is.

We (I) don't hate the pathetic SJW's and weirdos. AS long as they are not instigating riots or hitting people with bike locks I have compassion for their idiosyncrasies.

The Great Martial Law Covid-19 Globalist Fake News Government/Military Pandemic False Flag Exercise! Something for Everybody! The hypochondriacs, alarmists, survivalists, and boss-n-spy on thy neighbor sanctimonious LibbyFucks Luv it to pieces.

The captive press can stoke the public hysteria to a rolling boil!

The Organs of Perpetual Blame and Doom Mongering can blame Trump!

What's not to like?

Thing is, the SJW's are overtly racist and sexist against innocent white people and innocent men. They lump everyone together, which is the very definition of racism and sexism.

I think it's known, so let's call a spade a spade. SJW people are the loser/weirdo people from high school. They're the idiots that didn't grow up and have all this angst towards everyone else when they are their own worst enemy. Grow the fuck up. We're god damn animals that use words. Go fuck the other gender and enjoy life.... stop looking for attention because you're a loser.

Yes, that's is likely the source of their mortal hatreds:

Man would fain be great and sees that he is little; would fain be happy and sees that he is miserable; would fain be perfect and sees that he is full of imperfections; would fain be the object of love and esteem of men, and sees that his faults merit only their aversion and contempt. The embarrassment wherein he finds himself produces in him the most unjust and criminal passions imaginable, for he conceives a mortal hatred against the truth which blames him and convinces him of his faults. ~ Blaise Pascal

I just didn't care one way or another about them when they were the lunatic fringe. I do now that they're somewhat mainstream because they're stinking up the place.

BALTIMORE—Warning that the nation was unprepared to deal with the fallout of the global pandemic, researchers from Johns Hopkins University told reporters Friday they worried that Covid-19 would overwhelm America’s GoFundMe system. “GoFundMe is the bedrock of the American healthcare system, and as the number of Covid-19 cases continues to rapidly spread, we fear the servers just won’t be able to take it,” said research director Dr. Monica White, who stressed that if the pandemic were to grow any worse, there simply would not be enough $5 and $10 donations from sympathetic strangers to go around. “America’s GoFundMe system is already overburdened. There are only so many links from sick friends of friends we can share on social media before the whole thing collapses. We recommend that if anyone is suffering from minor financial strife such a medical debt from the cost of insulin or cancer treatment, you defer to those diagnosed with Covid-19.” At press time, GoFundMe employees announced they were working around the clock to ensure the health and safety of the nation.

STANFORD, CA—In response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, top U.S. health experts warned the nation Thursday to hold onto their fucking seats, because this bitch hasn’t even thought about starting yet. “We’ve been getting a lot of questions surrounding Covid-19, and, well, you all better buckle the fuck up, because this shit is about to kick into high gear,” said Stanford professor of health research and policy Richard Mason, throwing all his papers in the air and warning the nation that they better strap in tight, because this motherfucker will knock you on your goddamn ass. “If you think it’s bad now, just fucking wait, because this son of a bitch is gonna go into full-fledged annihilation mode. Seriously, wash your hands, cut off your hands—it doesn’t fucking matter. You poor bastards are going to get absolutely fucking destroyed.” At press time, Mason knocked over his podium, curled up in a ball on the floor, and started screaming, “Steel yourselves!”

Love the onion. This one isn't funny because it's going to end up being true. I've been saying it, our reaction is going to kill more people than the virus. I do well myself, but have family and friends that don't. IL just closed restaurants/bars. I know dozens of people that won't be able to pay their mortgage or rent in about 2-3 weeks. They're good people, just have flaws and haven't lived responsibly. Who do you think they're going to start running to?

This has been botched. Bigly.

Wonder if they will empty the prisons. About as illogical as what is happening so far.

Newsom just closed bars and pubs across all CA. Restaurants stay open at half capacity and full delivery/pick up.

Newbie123 says

Just FYI, grocery stores won’t close......

Not true. Unless you're talking about them being opened by the front glass being broken and looted.

This isn't funny anymore. Our differences on BTC aside (I think you blocked me), this is going to get fucked up more than people realize.

For how long? IL is until the end of the month. Most service staff and half the cooks will be broke by then. This is gonna get fucked up fast. Be ready.

It sucks for people employed in the gastronomy business but it doesn't mean restaurants can't make money. Those ready to shift to delivery / pick up could make huge amounts of money without much expenses as people will order delivery en masse.

mell says

I'll get the occasional pizza delivered, but I'm not ordering typical restaurant food to be brought to my home. I want it fresh and also the experience and service. Most people, at least here in IL are the same. It's pizza or you go out. I guess some people may suck at cooking, but I can make better than restaurant quality in my own home. Fucking love grilling. I go out for the experience/ease of it.

Maybe I hang with like minded people that have similar behaviors but the restaurant industry, in IL at least, just got totally fucked in my opinion. And the Europe ban just flooded the fucking airport with sick people here in Chicago. Total bull shit.

You are acting like there isn’t UE insurance. And yes I get the tipped job thing.

This is how social distancing works. The important point is: it isn't meant to protect you, but the herd.

That was interesting. Thankfully WaPo didn't block me. New month perhaps or is it the importance of the topic - and they make it available to all ?

Note: the brown area represents the number of people that get the CV. With moderate distancing the peak is later, giving the health care system more time to deal with it, spreading the near fatal cases out and time for competing Flu cases to fall, increasing capacity of ICUs etc. But the brown area isn't that much smaller.
