How did you domesticize those fiends? And I like it that you soiled your pants because you care so much about them.

Under what kinds of limits?

No, never for any reason. Personal privacy takes precedence over public health and safety 1,000,000 times out of 1,000,000 for me.

I remember the outrage after 9/11 ID and background checks.

**Benny Profane** · 03-23-2020, 02:28 PM

Trump could shoot Fauci on the White House lawn and he'd still get re elected.

So no more "take it on the chin" approach?

The local Dairy Freeze here appears to be the transmission hotspot in the area, based on the crowds sitting shoulder to shoulder outside all weekend.

May only be a matter of time before Fauci is giving his walking papers...

As the death toll from the coronavirus accelerates across the country—by Monday there have been more than 400 domestic fatalities—Donald Trump is grasping for a strategy before the crisis destroys his presidency. He has tried playing Roosevelt by claiming the mantle of “wartime president” while also playing to his nativist base by labeling COVID-19 “the China virus.” Now, Trump appears ready to disregard the advice of his medical advisers like Dr. Anthony Fauci by reopening the economy far sooner than Fauci has said is safe.

According to sources, Trump is increasingly frustrated with Fauci and governors who advocated for shutting down large swathes of the economy to stop COVID-19’s out-of-control spread. According to four Republicans briefed on internal West Wing conversations, Trump is fuming privately that Fauci advised him that the only way to blunt the pandemic was to bring the economy to a halt. “Trump is furious,” a former West Wing official said. “He’s been calling business leaders asking if he should just reopen the economy,” a Republican briefed on the conversations told me. “He’s hearing that you have to get the economy going,” another former West Wing official said.

That appears to be the Glorious Leader's new approach 'cause we're 'Mericans. We can bully this virus to submission. We're not afraid of anything the Chinese can throw at us.

China study indicates Type A blood type may be more susceptible to Covid-19 than average and type O less. fwiw.

Keep 'merica great!

If this gets dragged out the economy is going to tank 10 times harder then where it is currently headed.

My favorites -

12. You can protect yourself by gargling bleach
There are no circumstances in which gargling bleach might benefit your health. Bleach is corrosive and can cause serious damage.
18. You can catch coronavirus from eating Chinese food in the U.S.
No, you cannot.
