I understood that, CP.
I guess my main takeaway point is that President Trump needs to get out ahead of this VISIBLY, for political reasons; and also, that there are VERY REAL CHANGES WHICH MUST BE MADE such as an immediate wartime-urgency program of repatriating manufacturing of pharmas and other critical industries that the globalists (RATs, Romneys, Bushes, Ryanos etc.) have sacrificed in recent decades.
The COVAD-19 risks are very real, as outlined in my previous post.

Super important. Include vaccines in that too.

One of the most intelligent people I've ever met, so I listen - particularly about medial things...
[Only edited to keep personal things out...]
"We’re entering the exponential phase (there’s a ton of good epidemiology on Twitter) of this disease. You know one thing about me - I’m a skeptic. So what I’m about to suggest is not born out of panic, but out of math and med and minding.Get ready to stay indoors for a prolonged period. The non-dictatorial part of the world won’t do nearly as well as China did. Their draconian measures were amazingly effective, but not reproducible. (It will be interesting to see what happens as they go back to opening factories, but I digress.)
We’ve bought a freezer to add extra storage here in [edited location]. I’m stockpiled, and not going out anymore - at all. Even though we have yet to document a case, it’s floating around here, for sure. Being such an international city, it’s inevitable.
(Government likely has mismanaged kits and is suppressing actual cases. The corruption/dishonesty that pervades government = zero confidence in public statements.)
And if I get this disease, I’ll die. My auto-immune system will blow it up.
Odds are that you will too, being over 60. So my dear friend, and I write this only out of caring for you, not to imply a thing about [edited]
Prepare.
It costs nothing, since it’s all stuff you’d eat/use anyway. If I’m wrong (along with the epidemiologists), no big deal. But if I’m right, there will be a panic stage where the shelves are bare, potentially followed by a breakdown of supply chains, period. So they won’t be restocked, at least not nearly as efficiently as things work now.
Pleased to be in Mulvaneys company!
And so close to St. Patricks Day.
There’s another aspect to consider. Drug discovery takes a long time, it’s largely trial and error to find drugs that appear to work and for every one that does there are tens of thousands that go through the same testing process only to find they are ineffective. Then as you say they go into a lengthy series of testing and clinical trials. Nobody wants untested drugs on the market causing unknown side-effects so cutting corners doesn’t make sense. Besides, most pharma companies would follow similar development schedules even without regulations because just as you say, they don’t want to put their companies at risk of lawsuits. It’s a high risk business, just look a thalidomide, etc. and businesses are by nature risk-averse.
All this time the clock is ticking...patents are only good for 20 years and if it takes 10 to get into testing and 3-5 years for clinical trials and approval, that leaves 5 years for the pharma company to make all the money back it’s invested in R&D before the patent expires and it becomes generic.
That’s where change could be made - extend drug patents to say 30 years, then ride herd on pharma to reduce prices on it’s own rather than being driven by patent expiration.
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."
(Doing such would have prevented the Manhattan lawyer's supercluster. Stupid autofellatory entitled jack*ff.)

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers” - it’s a lawyer joke
Seth Finkelstein sethf@mit.edu
Few people are unfamiliar with the phrase The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyer. Rueful, mocking, it often expresses the ordinary person’s frustration with the arcana and complexity of law. Sometimes it’s known known that the saying comes from one of Shakespeare’s plays, but usually there’s little awareness beyond that. This gap in knowledge has inspired a myth of “correction”, where it is “explained” that this is line really intended as a praise of the lawyer’s role.
For example, one legal firm states:
“The first thing we do,” said the character in Shakespeare’s Henry VI, is “kill all the lawyers.” Contrary to popular belief, the proposal was not designed to restore sanity to commercial life. Rather, it was intended to eliminate those who might stand in the way of a contemplated revolution — thus underscoring the important role that lawyers can play in society.

Thanks for the info, Stars!

And if it gets that bad, it’d be foolish to assume a stable electric grid. So, stocking up on frozen and refrigerated would be problematic.
Like I said, the first thing we do...
Whole house generator. Propane can be delivered without any person to person interaction.
-SB
Depends on whether you have a generator...
Like my sentiments;
Everyone hates lawyers until they need one.
Sidney Powell is a lawyer
Nick Sandman used lawyers to sue CNN, NBC, WaPo, NYT, etc.
The Trump Elections Committee is suing CNN and NYT using Lawyers
Nunes is using lawyers to sue CNN for defamatory statements
Judicial Watch is suing the US Govt.
etc.
Lawyers have a proper role...just too many dishonest ones that should be in jail.
Just watched a Joe Biden Rally in St. Louis:
https://www.c-span.org/video/?470081-1/joe-biden-speaks-voters-st-louis
1) About 1-2,000 people (I guess)
2) (Uncut CSPAN) 43min 05 sec total)
3) Showed all minor speakers
4) Allowed (copyrighted) music
5) Sleepy Joe spoke for a whole 11min (time mark in video 28-39 min)
Compare that to any Trump rally
ThankQ!
