You would think, but they will just say something about a bunch of Chinese being in Italy, or crappy healthcare, or whatever. They will continue to make up whatever argument they can to avoid facing reality.

Just use your card. No need passing filthy cash and change back and forth between you and other people unless absolutely necessary.

I wish I could, but I’m still an on-site, essential employee. Sucks to be me, I guess.

FB’s response, “I’ve seen seasonal flu knock out whole families, entire villages even...”

People were already doing it all of last week. Subways empty. Essential government office only ones open in big buildings; rest of building empty.

“Or is it something else (mutation)?”

There is an increase in virulence that everyone can observe with their own eyes. It does not require a PhD from Harvard, or access to top secret government data to see it.

But any official acknowledgement of that is a long ways off. Just this morning we saw Fauci grudgingly admit “there is a possibility of aerosol transmission”, something again that was observable by even simple, regular people like us for at least a month.

The U.K. is going to go to WW I front line hospital triage.

You don’t want to go WW I front line hospital triage.

I heard the car deaths question. The thing is, a car accident (not necessarily a death) does not cause 2 to 4 other car accidents some time later. If they did, we simply wouldn’t be able to use the roads.

Again, not 3/4 of counties affected yet with at least 1 case. Hopefully, Minnie-Sooda hasn’t shut down the entire state yet.

I’m going on “at least 1 case” now rather than “at least 1 community transmission”, given that Arkansas is losing track of its community transmissions. Any state should shut down a county with at least 1 case if that county is not responsible enough to shut down on its own.

The President’s briefing today was a shot in our arm here in our household. It was like a mini Trump Rally.. It gave us HOPE, and showed such LEADERSHIP by calling out that reporter!!!!

....I am energized... grabbed my mop and started cleaning again. I’ve been in a emotional slump for a week. THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!!!!
Instead of sending money to each family.... send us toilet paper! LOL

Everyone handling cash has gloves on, so it doesn’t matter. The viruses don’t fly up off the cash into your nose.

Could be L strain (the more virulent one, IIRC) combined with average age, which is greater than the US.

“”YOU NEVER GO FULL TRIAGE!” — Robert Downey Jr. character.”

In this case it would be a triple dose of morphine and out door #2. The lucky one’s will get to go home to fight for their lives and that would be door #3. Door #1 is reserved for essential service providers, the rich and politicians.

Thank God we are not there yet.

I like that it was moved to July 15, but I will probably go ahead and file soon, since I’m expecting a refund, which would help just in case my job is suspended due to operations being moved to another location in the country.

If only I could be so lucky, presuming that I get a severe case with no ventilator available. People already routinely get hot shots in hospice.
