I'm a little bummed reading about Coronavirus and how the State Dept. overruled CDD and/or HHS to let people off the Lysol Princess to infect our country.
The spread in South Korea, Iran, and Italy is *scary*.
Not to mention cases in Honduras and the UAE -- all cold, cold regions where the virus lives a long time on surfaces, right? /sarc>
(China's now saying 3% cumulative fatality rate, that the virus is aerosolized and can be passed while asymptomatic, in feces, and urine, and that *re-infectIon* is possible, affecting multiple organ systems including the heart, liver (I think), and kidneys.)
Are you suggesting drown my sorrows in a butt of Malmsey, as the saying goes -- since you mention barrels...?
(or the other, umm, more earthy reference to "in the barrel" ...?)
That would be more appropriate for a Coronavirus thread, given the punchline...

(That is such an iconic photo. 45 has mentioned Gone with the Wind twice in last couple of days.)

He also mentioned Sunset Boulevard.
I never saw it but will do so now.
Here is synopsis excerpt from IMDB, for those like me who don’t know it. It vaguely reminds me of some clown movie I watched just recently but can’t put my finger on about an aging, loser, script-writer and a demented Queen Bee actress trying to scratch her way back to the top. Maybe I will think of it.
In Hollywood of the 50’s, the obscure screenplay writer Joe Gillis is not able to sell his work to the studios, is full of debts and is thinking in returning to his hometown to work in an office. While trying to escape from his creditors, he has a flat tire and parks his car in a decadent mansion in Sunset Boulevard. He meets the owner and former silent-movie star Norma Desmond, who lives alone with her butler and driver Max Von Mayerling. Norma is demented and believes she will return to the cinema industry, and is protected and isolated from the world by Max, who was her director and husband in the past and still loves her. Norma proposes Joe to move to the mansion and help her in writing a screenplay for her comeback to the cinema, and the small-time writer becomes her lover and gigolo. When Joe falls in love for the young aspirant writer Betty Schaefer, Norma becomes jealous and completely insane and her madness leads to a tragic end.

I am not advocating for sports betting but it is illuminating to see the odds based on what others think.
I had to look up what Do the + and – Mean in Sports Betting.
The – and + on a sports betting line indicates both your prospective payout and whether you’re betting on the favorite or the underdog.
Negative numbers signify the favorite on the betting line. The negative number indicates how much you’d need to bet to win $100.
If the number is positive, you’re looking at the underdog, and the number refers to the amount of money you’ll win if you bet $100.

I thought those 70 came off the cruise ship, thanks to Japanese bureaucrats using a cruise as big "isolation" chamber.

Sotomayer speaking purely political from a position that requires apolitical speech.
She must be impeached and/or motion to recruse in every case before her.
She’s not crying bias in a vacuum, libs are desperate to extremes. This story will have legs.
Our Republicans better have the balls to react to this outrage,
Would it be sacrilegious to have a movie with Jesus as a superhero? Now there's Someone with REAL powers!
Do you mean Hannity?
'Their' rainbow has six colors. Ours seven and never left.
Tastes like butter but its not, its Chiffon.
Small slide. Please PM with advice...what is the best water filtration product to have on hand during an emergency? I have seen mixed reviews on Lifestraws etc. Is there something I can have on hand that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and will work?
Marking to read
The numbers aren’t adding up or consistent. The only thing consistent is how much they are all changing.
I believe government and social media worldwide are censoring the snot out of everything concerning this outbreak.
Sometimes I wonder if deep state unleashed this as a last resort against Trump momentum and following.
