Imagine if the GOP actually removed him from office during impeachment? I have to think we'd be in a similar situation, with pence trying to pray the disease away. At least he may have listened to experts and had prepped to the extent he could have in February.Quote:

I disagree. Pence is a scary mf.
Maybe--like how macho they want to appear, how much they think they have to prove. Most doctors have "weak" handshakes because they shake hands with a lot of old, fragile people.Quote:

Things could get very political and very ugly. Good to see that there are Republican governors who aren't afraid to stand up to Trump.

When the Rat Flu was still a bit of an abstract I was thinking how China would handle an epidemic. They are a brutal regime and they would do what it takes to arrest the spread. That is what they tried and it seemed to work. Now they are exploring the move to normalcy and it doesn't sound like it is going that great.
Juxtapose that with the land of the free and the home of the brave. Exactly what I expected is starting to happen although I am impressed that people have had as much patience as they have had. We will be our own worst enemies and demand that life return to normal and a lot of people will die. And it will be explained that to have stayed the course would have been even more destructive and people starving is worse than people dying due to respiratory failure even those no one was actually starving other than the people who were already starving before any of us heard of Rat flu.
Meanwhile this like everything else with become a team sport.

I kinda went the opposite, and put a bunch of stuff on e-bay. And stuff is selling fast.
Pence calls himself 'Rush on decaf'.Quote:

I doubt it was ski/board gear.
I make sure I go out in the yard and do something every day to move my landscaping forward.
Seriously? I've got a pile of stuff to get rid of.Quote:

Certainly many US government agencies noticed these red lights flashing and much more. I'm certain the government has more than a few competent epidemiologists who knew exactly what was happening. Maybe it's the US Government that's so fucking corrupt, especially at the top.
Lots of that in the neighbourhood, but then the local waste transfer station started putting an attendant at the gate to 'request' that only bagged household garbage, and pre-sorted household recycling be taken in. No scrap metal, used oils and paints, no brush and organic yardwaste. Only until this COVID thing passes...Quote:

So what are people doing with the waste? Burning it in defiance of the smoke order, or dumping it off some backroad. And of course there is a big push to reduce fuel loads and firesmart the community; grassfire season is already in swing just south of us towards the desert. More than just COVID to worry about as the season progresses.
All that stuff usually gets sold via garage sales around here. Of course that isn't happening either. But the old boomers and old towne folk won't likely migrate to the online garage sale, so they are stressing every Saturday morning, with the garage door open and their precious junk collectibles gazing out longingly at the street, dreaming of freedom.Quote:

Per Washington Post, first time a president’s name appears on an IRS disbursement. Treasury officials claim that adding the name won't delay the funds but the code must be changed to include the president’s name, and the system must be tested. “Any last minute request like this will create a downstream snarl that will result in a delay,” said Chad Hooper, a quality-control manager who serves as national president of the IRS’s Professional Managers Association.
A big plant in Iowa joins the Covid war on bacon: 186 positive tests at the pork plant, bringing Louisa Co. IA's case rate to 11th place of all counties nationwide, ahead of NYC.Quote:

He did the math. (already 30%? 600K USA, 2M World, Ah to be free!)Quote:
