Of course. It is “only 15 more days”—but every day it is “15 more days.”
Getting on the boat this weekend going out to the sandbar. It’s usually packed on Sandbar Sunday.
And we are now 4 days behind the Italian curve, explosion coming any day now. Ready the hospital ships!
And maybe not. It will depend.
It’s hitting New York.
It’s like in China, Korea and Italy where one specific region is most hit.
Seattle is cooling down already.
Fauci is still getting paid, of course, in this shutdown.
He doesn’t have to stay away from work or close his small business.
So a shutdown is no biggie for him, his generous federal paycheck or his government pension.
And then try to go back to a job that is no longer there?
I work professionally as a civil engineer, and I specialize in the planning and design of transportation infrastructure. If you tell me there are 100 fatalities in motor vehicle crashes in this country every day and you want to eliminate them, or at least reduce them by 95%, and you ask me how to do it, I'm going to give you a simple answer that will solve the problem entirely: OUTLAW MOTOR VEHICLES.
Now if you give me the same scenario and tell me that you want to reduce the current fatality rate by 5% every year for the next ten years, I'm going to give you a much more reasonable and practical set of recommendations that aren't preposterous on their face.
This is what is happening with all these medical professionals who are advising our political leaders. Are you noticing a pattern in the answers they give in these press briefings? Almost every answer is basically a variation of one of the following:
1. "We don't know for certain."
2. "Without any certainty we recommend extreme caution."
That's exactly what is happening here. They are medical professionals. They will never even declare an "end" to this viral outbreak until a vaccine is developed that is 100% effective.
"Free Beer Tomorrow"
I’m not staying at home, I’m driving around on the cheap gas I can get now. I love to drive.
I do pick up the gas-pump handle using a towel though.
He is making decisions based in academia but in the real-world it has disastrous effects.
Sounds like he works closely with the climate change people. I don't like him. I don't like the thinking that the FDA is all knowing.
Fauci is a drama queen - always with the doom and gloom and the OMG OMG OMG we’re all gonna die attitude..
It’s like the movie “Money Pit”, when the character played by Tom Hanks would ask the contractor how much longer until the project is finished. The answer would always be, “two weeks”.
Eight weeks minimum IMO, and if it’s longer, it will be obvious by 6 weeks and no one will dare to be going out
Sounds like many here. I wonder what his freeper handle is.
The way I see it, if you consider yourself an expert, and you are surprised by a result, you’re not really an expert.
627 dead in Italy — just yesterday alone.
And we will quote you on that.
What if, heaven forbid, you are in a car wreck, or break down, while out on your joyrides?
Stay safe.
We ventured out, today, to top off gas tanks on two cars.
What shocked me most.....was the LOOOOOONG line, at the McDs drive thru.
Yikes.
(I don’t eat at McDs.)
Hubby said, well....people who don’t have groceries, gotta eat.
