I think the problem in Italy is a large over 60 population, socialist healthcare that limits resources even with very skilled personnel and a dense population. Cultural behavior including lots of hugging, shared food serving is likely also a factor.

Did the Brazil PResident have it or just the aide?

I have also read flights came in from Italy unabated for weeks. We have that strain here.

Here’s another way they are similar: they are a very poor source of nutrition.

I suspect the way it’s being watched and tracked, they’re probably getting these deaths right - but, of course, there will be mistakes, particularly given the nightmare they’re dealing with.

I know some State Troopers. They have been told to be “judicious” in their policing.

I told them, “Damn...I wish I had somewhere to go, so I could speed.”

So, if you were looking to knock over a bank...today might be your day.

This is a giant flaming bag of poop thrown on Trumps doorstep.

This is also a no win for him.

Don’t do enough, dems drag families of the dead on the news 24/7 next october.

Do just enough and stop it or really tame it down? OMG, trumps an idiot, he killed the economy.

It’s a kobayashi maru scenario.

Switzerland not only has one of the world’s best healthcare systems, but is a world leader in pharmaceutical research. I hope we can learn a lot from their experience, but we might be too close behind them.

I’m not talking about right now, though without testing I don’t know how they could have claimed coronavirus more than a week or so ago.

But here’s an example where they clearly don’t give a truthful accounting: that is the frequency with which terminal patients are sent home and then given deadly dosages of morphine, purportedly to ease the pain, but really to end the life. Those lives are NOT listed as due to the morphine given, though that is the cause.

i don’t think he messed up that bad and has recovered. God knows the world would be much worse with Biden in charge. I pray others see it the same way.

Me too.

My mother had 5 kids, but she was a tyrant about sweets and snacks,

I grew up with Breyers ice cream, homemade cookies and fresh fruit.

We also had a lot of homemade cakes and pies.

The only snack we had around the house was pretzels and maybe nuts.

Pop tarts and soda were real treats that we did not get very often.

I dont really believe him but will go with it.

The Miami Mayor gets it from going to the meeting but the Boss of the aide who is around him all the time doesnt get it.

The genetic investigations on the virus must be really interesting
