With almost half the country closing schools, and the other half keeping them open, CNN is discussing the pros and cons...

Meanwhile the virus is hitch-hiking on kids from sea to shining sea either way...

Moving around deck-chairs on the Titanic... :-(

“”” You see, there are certain anatomical differences between the two sexes “””

Ya don’t say.

Well I do have a daughter so I know which way to wipe a baby girl and when wiping one’s self, of course it will be front to back. Who reaches between their legs to wipe their butt?

I was strictly talking about peeing. Not both.

I’ll talk to my wife when she gets home. Pretty sure she doesn’t need 5 sheets. (most of the time)

I have actually seen girls pee outdoors and not have TP. Cheryl Crow says only one sheet needed. Saves the planet or trees or something. Boy, I hope she was talking about peeing only. Maybe she eats a lot of roughage though. Might be a vegan with solid yellowish turds. Maybe she lubes first.

There is also a private e-mail feature. He has some grounds for preferring anonymity on this, even if the original leak was by a public official to his wife.

My state (CT) almost doubled cases from yesterday—from 11 to 20—145 total tests.

The Diamond Princess rates a separate row on this chart:

Good question on the other ships—if they are still at sea then they probably are not in anybody’s numbers.

I am officially done. Toast. Over it.

Cancellations have bled me dry on what has been a very soft quarter of business. I am going to bleed red with anymore cancellations.

Bills are not going to be paid.

Gotta find homes/shelters for the pets.

Extremely depressed tonight.

Maybe I’ll get lucky and actually have Covid-19. Read the bill in congress...nothing in there that can help me either...so there’s no hope at this point. Ride this out and find work once it is over...maybe.

Wow...haven’t been this depressed ever. This is bad, real humdinger bad. Going to hop off FR and computer for the night.

Don’t bother replying...I just really needed to dump this off somewhere. Guess FR won the lottery tonight!

Cheers to you Corona! Looks like you won. I have been knocked down a lot in my life, but this...this doesn’t have an economic upside.

Nite All. Have fun chasing the CV...

I replied to a post that seemed to suggest that Texas got its source of electricity from nuclear power. I simply pointed out there are other ways to generate power.

Trump 4eva, eva, eva

If this is as much of a manufactured msm/dem crisis as the flubros say, it won’t last long. What good is making Trump look bad to oust him in the election of there is no election? MSM will tone things right down on the ‘flu’ real quick when they think of that.

Sorry, man, I have been there—two different times, including the having to give up the pets.

To: Trump Girl Kit Cat
Lets add some perspective on "how it could be". Over the past seven days in Italy, 1019 people have died of COVID-19. That's an average of 145/day, but it's getting worse. In the larger US population, that would equate to 800 people dying every day and climbing. Is 800 a day OK as long as they are "old"? Every single country with significant infections is fighting like crazy to control it. How can you sit back and think "everyone else is crazy" and you are the sensible one? Nobody else is thinking straight, they should listen to Trump Girl Kit Cat! China has provided 2 examples, their initial failure in Wuhan, followed by massive efforts that succeeded. South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore have showed us how to contain this virus while Europe, led by Italy, is showing us how to fail. And you want us to be like Italy?

The flu killed 8 children in the USA last week. Imagine if the 1019 who died in Italy last week (that's equivalent to 5,600 in the USA) were children, or even under 50 years old. People would be screaming for MORE action.

In the next month or so the MSM is going to be stunned by how many of their folks test positive and get sick...

They have not been practicing social distancing, working from home, etc.

Bashing the President will be the least of their worries...

“You send staff at the power plants to Mars, in effect. Isolate the facility from intrusion of outside sources of infection. Drop ship essential supplies which are then treated with a portable gamma source for sterilization. A military operation provides security, access control outside the facility.”

EXACTLY - but will they do it in time?

“These individuals live in the same home. They haven’t traveled outside the Houston area but did go to some Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo events”

Some of us aren’t surprised. I sure hope the rest of the people who went to the rodeo are happy, along with the health department for letting it go on.

Cases of COVID-19 in New York State have increased to 613, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said during a Saturday evening conference call.

Up nearly 100 from this afternoon when he announced 524.
