yah, what we need is martial law in flyover country.
also, orange man bad!
Key observations:
* So far, the greatest clusters of the disease, and the most aggressive responses to it, have indeed been centered in a few large, Democratic-leaning metropolitan areas, including Seattle, New York, San Francisco, and Boston.
* On the case-tracking website maintained by Johns Hopkins Universitys Center for Systems Science and Engineering, each of the four states with the largest number of coronavirus cases is a Democratic-leaning place along the coast: New York, Washington, California, and New Jersey.
* Florida, a coastal, internationally oriented state that leans slightly toward the GOP, ranks fifth. Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Texas, each with at least one big urban center that functions as a gateway for tourism and trade, come in next.
* With only a few exceptions, the states with the fewest number of confirmed cases are smaller, Republican-leaning ones between the coasts, with fewer ties to diverse populations and the global economy. That list includes Wyoming, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, South Dakota, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
Large urban areas, with folks stacked on top of one another like cord wood, are petri-dishes for the spread of disease.
The 50 states need to embrace the rural landscape again, wherever possible.
We are going to one or two restaurants or stores a day. Restaurants we take out and stores we walk through.
We are in a low risk age group with almost no overt health issues, though. We also take our supplements and eat lower carb.
We take it equally seriously but most of us are not falling for the media panic.
Well...yes. The “Red” areas are much less dense in their populations and more spread out. “Blue” areas very dense population wise, similar to the countries where the spread of the virus spiraled out of control.
It’s a given that the Stupid Half will panic. Coincidentally, thems Democraps... You see the ones with twelve packs of TP, and a shopping cart of pasta, and they are the ones with Bernie stickers on their cars...
“conservative publication The Bulwark” - Oh, please.
A lot of the BS from these politicians across the board involve takings that are unconstitutional. People who have spent a lifetime building businesses will not sit around and watch those businesses become bankrupt without a fight. The clock is ticking......
They will spread it.
I don’t recall being encouraged to go to bars and restaurants. As for differences between red and blues states, it is more a difference between metro vs rural areas.
Brownstein is a rabid leftist. Worked for the LA Slime, and other publications. This is a classic buffoon who sees everything through a leftist lens. Don’t believe a damn thing this idiot says.
It’s travel from New York that makes there be consideration of nationwide lockdown and travel ban.
It just needs to be no travel from NYC environs, San Francisco and Chicago.

It started in cities with major international airports and lots of international air traffic. They are all Democrat run cities.
Am posting this urging US to do this which isn’t as disruptive and costly.

Two hours. Thats all the time medical teams in Singapore are given to uncover the first details of how patients contracted the coronavirus and which people they might infect.
The NYS (slimes) did not go into what Singapore was doing but these postings do and explain what and how it was doing which is well worth a look.

I don’t know if there is a “Trump sucks” angle, but my sister in law lives in Singapore. This is for real. They have people assigned at entrances with hand held infra-red heat guns. She said she was scanned 5 times just today. Anyo e who get hot they are inquisition to find out who they have been with? How long they felt like this? If they ever coughed in public do. Wwho? Their shelves in stores are full and there is no pani, from what she says. This is a very effective and organized way to handle the crisis. This is Priminister Lee speech to Singapore population on what they learned from the Sars outbreak to deal with this. Trump (and I love him) could learn a lot from Singapore.

“conservative publication The Bulwark”
ROTFLOL!
that is anti-Trumper, scumbag, NOT-conservative Bill Kristol’s little garbage website he started up after that fool drove The Weekly Standard into the ground! Leave it to an uber-leftist,lying, propaganda organ like The Atlantic to bolster their bullshit with other people’s bullshit ...
