I think that AT LEAST half of Congress is owned by the ChiComs.

We know that WHO is.

We know that the Dems are.

I wouldn’t be surprised if several RINOs aren’t, as well.

Oh, and lobbyists.

China Swamp.

Don’t confuse “quarantine” with “mitigation.”

Quarantine is for when you have been or probably have been exposed to someone with the virus, like the people on the ships. It should really be 24 days but it’s 14.

Mitigation is what we’re doing now on a less precise but broader scale to flatten that ol’ curve. Basically, it’s keeping the asymptomatic away from others on the assumption that there are many of those unwitting spreaders around. And the purpose of flattening the curve is to keep from overwhelming the health care systems.

I’m glad they are doing this. I would never want to be one of those unwitting spreaders. Since we can’t waste resources by having everyone tested (and besides, what would it prove, since you could be infected shortly after the test?), this is the way to do it. I am proud of the team and grateful that we have this talent. Most of the criticism comes from people who don’t realize that blindsiding the victim country is part of the plan. OK, that succeeded in part, but now that we’re on to it there’s no stopping us, except for willful ignorance.

Time to seriously raise tariffs when this is over. 300% on all things should do it for Chinese products, regardless of shipping origin. They used NAFTA for years to ship crap to Canada and Mexico to avoid tariffs.

Good grief, I’ve never heard of that, and it’s terrifying.

Thank you very much for that information!

I think I read, or heard, somewhere along the line that as soon as Man invents the power to kill himself, he will.

Isn’t he an Independent, now?

This traitor didn’t take long to show his true colors, after riding in on the Tea Party wave.

It does take the virus a long time before it makes you very, very sick.
I think this lag is caused by the high amount of suburban and rural area here. That slows it’s spread.
But now we have an outbreak in out urban and NOVA area too.
I’m surprised at the date though.

You forgot our Universities - - public and private. Chinese own them too.

We were discussing proposed legislation.

But, you’re right about our Universities being owned by the ChiComs.

Agreed that VA peak date for Phase I seems very late—even with the 25% leakage predicted by the Imperial College model it seems too late imho.

TN - anecdotal trip notes, Mt. Pleasant

Rental cars down at airport. Rental guy said ppl taking them and not bringing them back

Waffle House was take-out; go inside to pay. Very little traffic on the road.

DH given ‘critical’ letter. Client said that he will need it to drive. Curfew announcement coming to TN? Are cops stopping people?

Second hotel in Mt. Pleasant nicer and he is the only hotel guest. No self-service or eating at breakfast bar - ask and they will bring to room. No traffic on roads this evening.
