Yeah, its not Fox News (this time). It’s The Sun.
Awful journalism.
I agree—Italy is slowly bending the curve.
However, before you start celebrating, just remember that under 1% of Italy’s population has been infected.
The moment they lift the lockdown....boom.
If you’re an American, British, French, or Swiss tourist who wants to take in some of the sights in Germany, you’ll have to wait a while before you can go because of the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. But if you’re a migrant from Asia, the Middle East, or Africa who has entered Europe illegally? No problem!
Last week, Germany closed its land borders to all foreign citizens except for those providing essential services coming from France, Luxembourg, and Switzerland in an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus. However, the German Ministry of the Interior has confirmed that “asylum-seekers” are still welcome in Germany in spite of the ban, according to a report by Junge Freiheit.
In practice, this means that if a migrant were to illegally enter the European Union’s Schengen Zone via Italy or Greece and make it to France or Switzerland, he can still demand asylum in Germany, and thus must be allowed to traverse these countries so that he can formally request it on German territory.
“At Germany’s EU external borders [airports and seaports], there has been no change in the [asylum] procedure,” a representative of the Ministry of the Interior told Junge Freiheit. When asked if this also applies to Germany’s internal Schengen borders, she confirmed that this was also the case there.
In practice, this suggests that the German government feels that citizens of other European countries are dangerous because they might spread the coronavirus; migrants, on the other hand, apparently pose no such risk in their eyes as long as they remember to use the word “asylum.”
Germany’s stance on this is inexplicable, especially given that even as things stand within Germany as it is, migrants currently being held in German facilities are balking at being asked to follow coronavirus restrictions and have been attacking police and center personnel in response, in at least one case even flying an ISIS flag, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.
Whose "our"?
they are really trying to style up these hats
I need to see if I can rig something

I would prefer the county-by-county shutdown method. Any county with at least one confirmed case gets shut down. An entire state would only shut down if 3/4 of counties go positive (2/3 for Rhode Island and Delaware - only 3 counties in each state). That way, while economic activity would still dwindle, it wouldn’t seem to go into freefall, if the stock ticker is any indication. And some effort would still be made to contain COVID.
Rand Paul had a closed door meeting with members of Congress on top of everything else.

Some possible homemade masks. Anti-malaria drug not preventive in Cov-19. - Acton
Rand Paul in the Senate gym pool this morning.
Do you have a link to this?
Does that mean no jogging? Riding a bike?
What about use ATV's on property is maintaining 6' of distance?
Chopping wood?
Driving to shooting range (if alone and no one there)?
?
Very true...and numbers likely to never be included in the final Coronavirus tally.
I wonder if this was considered.
“I agree—Italy is slowly bending the curve...However, before you start celebrating, just remember that under 1% of Italy’s population has been infected...The moment they lift the lockdown....boom.”
If they could do it like Taiwan and Singapore, where, if you go out, you get your temperature checked like a dozen times, they might be able to prevent a relapse. They also have to lift the lockdown very, very, slowly...just a bit at a time.
Otherwise...yep, right back to mass infections!
What’s the over under on POTUS and VP standing up there together and with half a dozen others.

Now confirming from 2 ppl familiar the @seungminkim report that Kansas Sen. @JerryMoran said at GOP lunch that he did see @RandPaul at the Senate gym this morning & that Paul was in the pool
Paul tested positive for #coronavirus this morning, and the news broke during the lunch
Thanks for the clarification. You had me fuming for a moment. :)
You are correct, Sir. For example, governments can pre-pay businesses for things they will order from them in the near future anyway, thus helping to keep them afloat.

Sometimes you’re already in bad shape, in which case, COVID is just the kill shot.
