I see these vouchers are redeemable at a specific grocery store, rather than cash.

Now...if they’d only do the same with the EBT $$$ that millions receive :- /

how nice! yes, Dr. Seheult does explain things well. Please share your doctor’s opinion, too!!

p.s., Dr. S. has other lectures just as fascinating - very easy to follow.

You’re most welcome.

I realize that POTUS is about as informed as any human being on the planet could be, regarding COVID19. As to the limited possibilities regarding the virus’s origin, I am sympathetic to the conundrum POTUS faces in being straight with the American people and what the implications would be, in a just reveal. China has a reckoning coming, but due to our manufacturing dependence, it will have to wait until repatriation is sufficiently completed. Until then, full speed ahead with the America first Trump doctrine. Bastards!

Curses! Now the Llano Co. person is up to persons, plural.

I have a horrid headache and a sore throat I was hoping was due to rainy weather and it’s after midnight.

Profoundly sobering. I think we are figuring out the obvious.

I am in PHX, AZ. We are not yet under any mandatory quarantines.

The Democrats are voting tomorrow.

The schools are closed, but the kids are being allowed to practice sports, and competitions are slated to resume on the 28th. This seems optimistic.

If I venture out to the store, I plan to go early (6am) just as the doors open.

Take care of your immune systems everybody.

Beware of a cytokine storm if you get sick. That is an immune system out of control attacking the virus and the body.

CALIFORNIA - Policy

Newsom announces eviction guidelines amid coronavirus job losses

The order gives local governments the authority to halt evictions for renters and homeowners but stops short of creating a statewide moratorium. The order also aims to slow foreclosures and help keep utilities running for residents affected by COVID-19.

https://www.ocregister.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-newsom-expected-to-announce-eviction-guidelines/

no way a fan of Newsom, but this seems to make more sense than just handing out money. Defers or stretches payments, not a freebee.

Way to go freepers! Gotta’ love the hive mind.

I’m a Johnny come lately to the threads, thus the redundancy to my post. I read as much as I could, at the home page of the site I linked to, but suffered information overload, and retreated back to FR. I posted to post #1, guessing that what I had was probably already in the thread, but due to my fading, and there being so many posts (over 800 at the time) I elected to dine and dash (post and run) instead of first reading through the entire thread.

Your Honor, I now throw myself at the mercy of the court and ask for leniency.

What I better do, is throw myself into bed. Good night Lady Jane.

You’re welcome. I’ve been on so many threads and websites and accounts today, I honestly don’t know where I ran across the link to the websites that I posted, but boy did they draw me in with their great scholarly work. We are so fortunate to have FR and the www to go to, thus avoiding the MSM alphabet news agencies shoveling the same old same old at us.

Be good to your immune system. Good night FRiend.

The problem is, many people will be infected that have yet to show symptoms.

If you wait until they are actually sick to lock things down, it’s way too late. the healthcare system will be overwhelmed at that point and the hospitals will be making decisions on who gets to live or die with the limited equipment.

Exponential rise is not the same as linear and things can quickly get out of hand.

People are just going to have to learn to live again instead of depending on a never ending stream of entertainment to keep them occupied. They have no substance, and no skills to make do. They will have to become independent instead of dependent.

I also think the thing that has scared a LOT of people is confronting their own mortality. That could result in a lot of people getting right with God, and that is what I am praying will happen.

Honestly, is the society and culture in which we have been immersed the last couple decades that worth saving? People have survived worse hardship and privation than what this country is looking at at the moment.

Phase 1 of the study is intended to test the safety of three dose levels of the new vaccine — mRNA-1273 — named after the genetic material that makes up the injections and which researchers say can produce a vaccine very quickly.

“This study is the first step in the clinical development of an mRNA vaccine” against coronavirus, said Dr. Tal Zaks, chief medical officer at Moderna, in a statement.

The trial will include 45 healthy adults ages 18 to 55. Each participant will receive two shots, 28 days apart. Three different doses will be tested on 15 people each and the participants will be studied to determine whether the vaccine is safe.

West Hollywood’s gay community would find a way to have fun. “AIDS didn’t stop us in the ‘80s. Corona isn’t going to stop us now,” he said.

Wanna bet?

Corona kills quicker.

Whatever, have at it. You all are adults but you can't say you weren't warned.

IRAN - Data point

Zali also acknowledged that “many” of those who have died from the COVID-19 illness caused by the virus were otherwise healthy, a rare admission by local authorities that the virus does not only prey on the sick and elderly.

Health Ministry figures show that while 55 percent of fatalities were in their 60s, some 15 percent were younger than 40.
