Where can you get masks that aren’t made in China? See the video of the Chinese worker laughing as he rubs the filters he’s making on his shoes because they are going to Americans.

Kudzu will be a blessing to the South.

Silage and Feed.

And it comes back every single year, no matter what.

Why grow corn or hay for your livestock? Kudzu is free.

[chris37]

All three of them have been quite annoying lately.

Tucker is the only one whose show I can make it all the way through. Tucker gets it. The other ones do not.

[amorphous]

cook it like spinach

Thanks!

The south will never starve lol...

That's for sure...:) Today's replacement for the first Great Depression's poke salad, I suspect.

And here I was just before a fixing to rip out some kudzu already halfway up my chain-link fence. Instead, thanks to you, I may just have some for supper tonight! :)

Are the NY stats based only on those sick enough to be tested? How many people have the virus with no symptoms or only mild symptoms so that they are never counted as having the virus?
That is the great unknown.

Hey, it’s not nice to call it Boomer Removal. That hits too close to home.

[LilFarmer]

Those super spreaders are crazy, and it’s one of the most odd things about the virus. Many of Europe’s cases started with that guy who went to a ski resort. We’ve had two in GA that they believe are the root of most our state’s cases. We have the NY lawyer, and whoever attended that conference in Boston.

It was the first clue that asymptomatic cases were spreading this thing but some (*cough CDC cough*) refused to accept that.

[who knows what evil?]

Eight suicides in 48 hours in Knox County, TN last week..more than coronavirus at the time (6). Scared to death? Lost their job? Who knows?

[plushaye]

I guess we just got lucky with SARS1 and MERS.

I remember the SARS1 panic of 2002-3 in some cities and that the front-line medical staff were dying. Many patients were on ventilators and their lung xrays were awful. There was a run on Tamiflu because it seemed like the only medication that was working. And then...nothing. It died out. Never returned. I really wonder why.

[RummyChick]

he was tweeting on March 15th..now dead. not seeing any news on it

but did see this crazy story

[amorphous]

Sorry, its a plot of daily deaths / totals deaths by country.

[LilFarmer]

It’s our best kept secret, shhh 😉

[Vermont Lt]

Anyone suggesting any number is like trying to guess the jellybeans in the jar. It’s a useless practice.

[markman46]

Thank you for doing this every day

Don't forget the hated lawn weed broadleaf plantain.

"Broadleaf plantain is also a very nutritious leaf vegetable that is high in calcium and vitamins A, C, and K]. The young, tender leaves can be eaten raw, and the older, stringier leaves can be boiled in stews and eaten. Broadleaf plantain is not related to the fruit also known as plantain, which is a kind of banana."

[Mariner]

Every Navy in the world has the same problem, whether they acknowledge it or not.

[amorphous]

You could go the DIY route or keep looking for those made here. We still make masks here in America. They’re just in short supply now due to the huge demand.

[LilFarmer]

If you do, let me know what you think. Just the young leaves (the old leaves are too tough). Throw a ham hock in there.

[TermLimits4All]

I wonder of those leaves are what continue to grow after my dogs “water them”. My bermuda grass is just now starting to green up.
