Yesterday's thread here:

So Trump is hoping for the end of the month. Reasonable.
He may say then that we can’t go back to work then- but will be able to state when we can. or maybe he’llbe abl;e to give the all clear.
Media is making a mess of everything he says and does.
He didn’t say he was going to end social distancing etc at any certain date.
Regarding Jelly/Jam. My granny used to make jelly from wild grapes and blackberries. She gave me 15 jars when I moved away. Shortly after, grandpa died and she sold the farm and no longer had access to the berry bushes/grape vines.
So I knew that was all there would ever be. I opened a jar each Christmas for 15 years. All were good to the last spoonful.
She never used pectin. She put the jars in boiling water and let them drain dry. She poured the hot jelly into the jars and then sealed with paraffin. Then put on the lid. She got the thickness by using a few less than ripe berries and sugar and low simmer to reduce the liquid/enhance the flavor.
That 4% to watch.
Then we reload it. The whole process has never taken us more than 45 minutes. This is a quick no-fuss way to defrost a garage freezer. There isn't time for any of its contents to defrost. Well, there might, but anything which might defrost goes into the kitchen refrigerator compartment for 45 minutes tops.
Better is often the enemy of good enough.
We do have to clear off all the kitchen counters first, and that's not part of the 45 minutes.
I think we do have excellent healthcare—but our population is not that healthy, so it is probably a wash.
Yes, it’s the same old story - FAKE NEWS- all day every day. Totally deliberate misrepresentation of what POTUS says.
Yep. The obesity/diabetes alone is a tremendous risk factor.
LOL. Yep—we live in interesting times. Wonder what bomb they are going to try next to destroy POTUS?
“Any building over 6 stories tall is required to have blast doors in the subgrade floors. Water tight, blast proof doors. My relatives all know their muster points and their escape route in case of nuclear attack. Civil defense isn’t forgotten there, it is a way of life. Food, medicines, and hospitals for war are located in all apartment buildings, and there are medically trained people in every one of those apartment towers. “
But they still won’t know what to do until they are told.
That said, your comparison to the “4th Reich” is spot on. China has refined the philosophies, methods and efficiencies of the Nazis to the point a new book must be written.
China is the penultimate Fascist State. And they are hatching similar ruin.
The majority of deaths have been in 4 countries, China, Italy, Spain, & Iran. They account for 13,367 of the 16,389 deaths reported. If you add in France and the U.S. that total rises to 14,772. If you add in Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, U.K., and the Netherlands it rises to 15,549 (all of these countries have a minimum of triple digit deaths reported).
That means only 840 deaths are spread among all the other countries reporting deaths from the CoVid-19. virus.
So the bulk of the deaths being reported occurred in just 11 countries.
No of course not, I was referring to the panic in this country. Has there even been panic generated in other countries that results in panic buying of goods? Listen, I am not saying that we take this lightly, but that the numbers so far do not justify panic. The panic here started way before we knew even very much about this virus, but that didn't stop the press from making hay with it right out of the starting gate.
For all we know doctors and other health professions may have died from the flu, but without reporting it, most would never know about it. So your statements are nothing more than conjecture. If you can find some hard evidence then I will give your argument more credibility.
What does CoVid-19 care about? Seems like compromised immune systems. I've heard strain L of the CoVid-19 spreads more rapidly and kills more, but with all cases of CoVid-19 lumped together it may be hard to tell if there is any basis to that or not.
Again, until autopsies are performed we cannot be certain that your claim that age and what your immune system is does not matter to CoVid-19, cannot be verified, at least I find no site that provides that kind of information. There was a 21 year old coach that had CoVid-19 and died. Upon completion of his autopsy it was found that he had leukemia, apparently unbeknownst to even him.
I am all in, in joining the war, but then again I am not being financially impacted, by either the falling stock market or my job being taken away suddenly (at least not yet). I'm not a wealthy man by any means, but I work remotely, so I have the best of situations. But many do not, and I am concerned for their well being just as I am concerned for my well being. But again the numbers, even world wide do not justify panic. I think President Trump has been making the right decisions all along. He stopped all flights from China of foreign people who are not citizens, not really fair to not allow Americans to return home, and the press howled and called him a racist xenophobe, while at the same time pressing the case that this virus was serious, and he was not being serious enough.
But how long can this country continue to destroy the economy? I think that we have sometime to afford our scientists to work on lifesaving drugs. I also think that evidence is pretty strong that we already have weapons in our arsenal that can be used to combat this viral attack. Dr. Fauci and others need to fast track these options. We could run tests on those mostly likely not to survive without some assistance, and if the outcomes look as promising as some say they are, we need to act. Business as usual can not be the order of the day for these times. For time is of the essence, and it is rapidly running out, if we are to recover economically.
13,000+ in NYC alone?
Oh my. And that’s just who showed up in the emergency room, so far.
JAPAN
The number of fatalities linked to the coronavirus in Japan rose to 52 on Monday following the deaths of three elderly people, including a man in his 80s in Aichi Prefecture.
The man, who returned from New York on March 11, died at a hospital in Okazaki on Monday morning. He was later found to have the virus, according to the city government.
The health ministry also reported the deaths of two men, both in their 70s, who were ****on board the virus-hit Diamond Princess cruise ship.****
Nearly a month after everyone disembarked. That is a long course of illness.
Prices going up wherever freight continues moving.
It will even out as ships reassess their shippers.
But the Basmati rice must be delivered.
Anything else is a crime against humanity.
S. KOREA

Thank you for the heads up. I’m concerned about my peeps. They said it’s relatively quiet. But, still. It’s a huge risk. They are up close and personal.
It doesn’t take much imagination to see what that would have resulted in.
What is the most reprehensible to me, is the fact that there are people out there who have NO qualms about sacrificing the lives of hundreds or thousands of ordinary every day people just to further their own agenda and satisfy their lust for power and control.
They have blood on their hands and while we may not see justice here on this earth, which is frustrating to me, GOD is keeping accounts and there will be a reckoning some day.
And I hope I get to see it.
It was around back in the middle of January.
