Decisions are so much easier when you’re a dictator :)

Oh, wait. Don’t want to offend the putin worshipers.

I mean..duly elected man of the people :)

He’s certainly not the worst, but he’s not the hero of the west too many make him out to be.

Russia hasn’t reported any numbers for the last month. It must be worst than what they’re reporting.

They are shutting down their country for 2 months because, so far, 4 people died.

I just find this stuff weird.

Obviously not a good year to "sell the house, travel the world, and live in hotels."

“I just find this stuff weird.”

It’s amazing to me how many countries across the globe are just shutting themselves down when they could just be isolating those most at risk.

It’s almost as if it’s orchestrated and the Martians will be arriving to enslave us in the next week or so.

There. I said it out loud. Life these days is like a B-Grade MOVIE!

I had a conversation with a coworker yesterday. She ‘s black and in her 30’s. Her repsonse about the virus lockdown ?

“It’s like a bad movie script ! “

Her exact words.

Well, maybe they know something we don’t. We’re at solar minimum and we’ve got a weird comet that is heading this way. Beware the Ides of..... whatever.

Considering they haven’t reported anything, I think your assessment is correct.

well I guess that’s one way to do it. What happens if there is a building fire, do firefighters get guns?

Putin is implementing the advice of the only man to sign both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, Benjamin Franklin: “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Russia is trying to get out ahead of the pandemic.
