San Antonio city officials maintain that the risk of the virus spreading to the general public is still low.

It'd be lower still to keep them a week or so longer. It'd cost less in the long run, too.

Was talking to another academic who lives in Montreal earlier this evening—he’s scheduled to give a paper in Honolulu in a conference in about three weeks.

10% of the presenters have already cancelled due to the virus, and he was speculating about whether or not the whole conference would end up cancelled.

“Thank God it isn’t an EMP.”

While true, this is somewhat similar to a slow-motion EMP, where society stops, but people are still alive - and suffer.

Nah, would still owe it to the heirs.


Besides, government debt: we just owe it to ourselves!
Just ask Krugman, Gov debt means nothing!

“Nobody listens to the Left Media anymore.”

Sure they do. Half this country still votes for Bernie types.

A Lake Oswego elementary school

Wow. Just Wow

For those of you not from Oregon, Lake Oswego is a very swank Portland suburb where Bernie likely would fit right in, as in be able to buy a house and find likeminded hypocrites.

Trump seems to think there is a magic wand. I always look at the physics and realize the complexity of the situation. Maybe that is how we should look at things. Trump is Captain Kirk asking us for more warp speed, and like Scotty we realist are saying, she is about to blow captain. She cant take no more. Lol.

It’s been said the black elderberry is a no no with this.

I read Diamond’s Collapse about 10 or so years ago. Between extended supply lines and Sodomy we are asking for a repeat of Babel or, if you prefer, the trashing of Sodom et al.

I also read One Second After when it first came out, and again in the last year after my youngest daughter was diagnosed with Type-I diabetes. The suffering and dying of the innocent is going to be hard to take. I hope I am well enough positioned and that things are slow enough that I don’t loose her.

There is a fitting natural consequence for our society as it presently stands, and an obvious way for it to come about. Prophecy ain’t rocket science at this stage.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

OREGON
Coronavirus now in Oregon
Updated 6:43 PM; Today 5:26 PM
By Fedor Zarkhin | The Oregonian/OregonLive

A Washington County teacher is sick with the first presumptive case of the new coronavirus in the state, Oregon health officials said Friday.
...
The person tested positive for coronavirus. The case needs to be confirmed by federal health officials. The patient is isolated at Kaiser Permanent Westside Medical Center. It is a case of community-spread disease. The person is a teacher at a Clackamas County school and may have exposed people there, health officials said, and had contact with people in Forest Hills Elementary School at Lake Oswego.
...
The state would not disclose their age, sex or specific condition.
...
Now, the school district is shutting down the school where the teacher works so that health officials can do their investigation and talk to employees and let families known their children could have been exposed.

I read that too. After I had put in about a $100 worth.

I don’t know how they’d know at this point.

It’s worth having anyway.

That's going to be the worst. If only 5,000,000 people get it and assuming that 20% need hospitalization (which seems to the number so far) then that alone takes up every hospital bed in America. If only 2,500,000 people get infected half the beds will be filled with corona patients.
