Technically the Vatican is independent from Rome, so he could if he were foolhardy enough.

But why lock down a country’s whale? (What does a giant mammal have to do with any of this?)

Because its giant octopus swam away to join Sea World?

That’s one way to quell “The Arab Spring” Hijrah. Perhaps all the nations bordering Turkey should do likewise.

My thought exactly. Is this the same virus as china etc or a mutation?

Without mitigation, yes. The administration still has measures they can use to slow it down, but they must be proactive and not reactive.

Is that what we’ll see in two weeks?

Doubtful. We're seeing around a 6-day doubling cycle - meaning two weeks from now we'll probably be a little of 5,000 cases.

Of course, that equates to over 50,000 cases here the week after Easter.

Look at the graph here.

Tucker reported that rate tonight. if you average the number of case rates since the first case you might get six day doubling rate.

But since 2/27, the case doubling rate is right near every two days. This is the current rate, trending for nine the last eleven days straight.

Graph here...

It's fast - but not every two days.

There were 400 cases about 3 1/2 days ago. We'll probably hit 800 in about 2 1/2 more days (+/-).

I take the 3 1/2 days back. 400 was reached 2 1/2 days ago. We're now slightly over 600.

Doubling right now is about 4-5 days.

Now it’s looking like closer to 4 days for doubling. Cases are up to 738 already. That’s a pretty big jump today.

Italy smokes. They sit outside and chainsmoke a new one off the hot one. Marlboro, Lucky Strike, every type of Camel at the duty-free tabaccheria in Livigno.

Ar15 forums has a post from local that they are NOT treating people over 65 and people with health issues. Health system is Overwhelmed.

Same thing that we will be dealing with in 30 days.

I wonder if we will or not.

There are warning signals. I'm hoping we somehow avoid it.

Each year our hospitals fill up with people with the flu.
This will be like that perhaps.

I don't see us refusing service.

I consider Tucker as yelling FIRE in a crowded theater,

He undermines our President!
