Thanks Bob - glad you are all safe!!
“Yes, over 700,000 masks. that is a lot of masks”
Sounds like a lot, but Taiwan is making something like 10 million a day, and China 10 times that amount.
By the way, has the union there decided to permit this country to resume mask production, or do they have other complaints?
We have it from a plugged-in local source that Washington State Governor Jay Inslee is expected to initiate a shelter-in-place order at 5:30 PDT (1.5 hours from now). Source is third hand from law enforcement.
A FluBro rushes in where a wise man fears to tread.
The Dr had a low grade fever..trump steps away...she tested negative...but still..watch her over the next week or so
Talking of the flu and auto accidents harms him politically, no doubt.
“Maybe they are running out of people who will die from it as they already have?”
...not even close, at least by the percentages.
Denver stay at home order goes into to effect tomorrow at 5 PM.
Money can be ironed with steam.
And I throw any coins I get while out in a bowl of soapy water when I get home.
Ah, ok.
I cant get over that the Dr had a fever this weekend and is standing next to Trump knowing that people test negative and then test positive
It would be okay if this was someone other than the leader of the free world

Is It Coronavirus, Flu, or Allergies? Here’s How the Symptoms Differ, Per a Doctor (3/19/20)
I am comparing the 2 to show that the flu is far more contagious and deadly, but no one is freaking out over the flu. I do this because hysteria & panic have never solved a thing, and it certainly will not solve this virus.
If you truly believe that it was a bio-weapon that was released on purpose, then get mad, don't get panicky and hysterical.
I must admit I certainly do not reject the possibility that it was developed as a bio-weapon, but as to whether it was released accidentally or on purpose is a case for debate. The fact that they covered up, arrested people who tried to warn the world, and destroyed samples certainly does not bode well for them.
But the reality is we still have to deal with the issue at hand, which is the virus and containment of this virus. Panic & hysteria does not help reach a solution. I agree with President Trump that we need to have a period of isolation in hopes that it will retard the spreading of the virus. I also agree that we need to fast track things we already have within our arsenal that has shown promise elsewhere. Furthermore, we do not know for sure if this was a bio-weapon and if it was released accidentally or on purpose, but speculating about that is not where we need to focus our attention on. But I am willing to bet the Pentagon, or should I say the Defense Dept., is probably already looking into this possibility. If it is found to be so, China will be the big loser. Let's not make us a loser as well.
What we do not need is for us to let the fear of this virus stop us and create a different problem much bigger in addition to the virus, and that being the destruction of our economy.
The numbers, even worldwide, do not justify the hysteria & panic. They only increase problems, they never fix problems.
Let's all shelter in place as much as possible to see if we can slow the spread. If nothing else it affords time for professional that deal with these issues to perhaps get a better handle on what exactly we are dealing with.
I know! Trump should have backed on out the door.
Nope, sorry, Trump, but you did not act early.
Yeah, so far.
Get back to us when we can compare apples to apples in a comparable time period and for the same geographic area.
So let's compare US stats with US and the whole year to date for the flu season to this at the end of the same time frame.
“I cant get over that the Dr had a fever this weekend and is standing next to Trump knowing that people test negative and then test positive...It would be okay if this was someone other than the leader of the free world”
I’ve given up on worrying about Trump - he’s either superhuman or we’re getting a new president.
That's why we are watching the situation very closely.
We have a place to go and if they try that here, we'll be ready to beat feet out of here in a heart beat.
McStupid
GOOD!
Glad someone has some manhood!
