I'm not promising to start the next day's thread, but we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Thank you!

Now 33 positives in CA. How many were there before?

I think the testing has begun and we’ll be seeing just how many cases we have. Hopefully very few.

Meghan McCain scolds audience members after apparent applause for Pence failing on coronavirus

“I think Trump needed someone in that position just in case things go badly,” co-host Sunny Hostin said. Co-host Joy Behar added that Hostin was describing a “fall guy.”

Some people in the audience seemed to applaud Hostin’s comments, prompting McCain to scowl in response.
“I don’t know why anyone would clap about that because if crap goes wrong, it’s going to be bad for all of us — so clapping, because this is bad ... I do not like the politicizing of this,” she said

I don’t particularly care for Meg, but she gets 2 social credit points for today.

huh. How did I miss this thread?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Walmart here today fully stocked, quite responsible as we are under a corona State of Urgency from the governor. Stocked up some more.
