One reason I’m planting a big garden this summer. Enough to share with any neighbor who needs it.

And seeds for the ones who can/will grow. It’s country, there are more than a few of those.

“Except that this whole thing completely proves Trump is correct on the border issue and on bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.”

And we have to pound that point relentlessly.

She is 64

Despite "feeling fine" and "over the worst of it", she gets an ICU room. The plebes won't be so well treated...

“I was in the IT field then over two companies and I made darn sure that everything we had and all our vendors were y2k compliant...and so did every IT pro around the world. WE stopped Y2K.”

Us code guys had a little something to do with it, too.

Xi, who had absolute power, hid that fire from his people ( and the rest of the world).
Trump did not. He had not the power to, if he wanted.

He’s using a European abbreviation. M is thousand, MM is million. He might be French or something.

So few realize Y2K was real.

Millions of manhours prevented catastrophe.

I read earlier that Patient Zero in New Rochelle, the lawyer, is in a coma now.
Hope he pulls through.

I spent months building 747 maintenance software for Lufthansa from 1998 though Dec 1999. Lots of time on the ground in Frankfurt am Main. Lufthansa was Y2K ready and I spent the New Year's Eve in the dispatch center of the San Diego Sheriff's Dept with my wife as she worked her shift. It was a quiet transition through midnight.

“...that in some states these university dorm rooms may be converted to a secure quarantine area...”

At the beginning of this all there was some ex CDC guy saying how that is part of the plan. But these plans are on the state level, and then the Feds will offer support and supplies. He said the Feds have “lots of supplies” - but they can’t help everyone. The states that can get their emergency plans up and running first will get the supplies first.

I found it interesting (and stupid) that Seattle buys an old motel (85 rooms?) and planned to use it to house 15 people in quarantine. I have no idea why so few people.

It makes a lot more sense to use school buildings converted into shelters or make-shift hospitals.

Donald Trump says a travel ban WITHIN the US is ‘possible’ if the coronavirus outbreak ‘gets too hot’ or ‘if somebody gets a little bit out of control’

Donald Trump said Thursday when asked about possibly restricting movement within the America: ‘We haven’t discussed that yet’
He added from the Oval Office: ‘Is it a possibility? Yes. If somebody gets a little bit out of control, if an area gets too hot’

Hmmm...maybe he’ll travel ban NanFranFreako and Chuck. They’re out of control.

the numbers coming out of China as far back as mid January told us enough.

Even though they were minimized and falsified.

At least 100 here on FR could see that fire.

And we’re not paid in that profession.

“He might have had a lot more of that done by now if the deep state didn’t attack him for 2 1/2 years.”

And that needs to be pounded, too.

IMHO the numbers themselves were irrelevant to me.

Military quarantine of 11M people, digging up the secondary and tertiary roads to enforce that.

Wow, when have you ever seen THAT before?!
