      One has to think the Coronavirus part of this briefing will be grim based on the lead. Running a bit of the Middle East script as well.
      I will not be out cheered in my own building.

          I'd explain it to you ("Not even original" - no crap, really?!?) but as everyone knows, satire gets better when you have to sit down and explain it, step by step. Here's a hint, Psycho - it's aimed at the Chinese Communists - not at "death being amusing". Figure it out from there, smart-*****. Two questions: one, what part of it offended you, and two, are you the world's oldest snowflake??

          At least Darius "gets it". Bad enough we missed out on St. Patrick's Day and a lot of Easter festivities - probably less of an issue for the secular sorts on this board - but now we can't even enjoy April Fool's. Psycho, do me a favor, and let us know when we get to an event or holiday when we can try to have a little fun, OK? Maybe Eli Yale's birthday, coming up this very Sunday??

            Unformative WH Coronavirus Task Force briefing. No new information. How did a reporter not ask VP Pence about his earlier Italy trajectory remark. Complimenting VP Pence's talking for 5 minutes without answering the question. Classic.

              Just want to be clear on which deaths count, and which ones don't, Darius? Especially as unemployment soars, abuse recidivism takes place, folks get depressed, violent crime increases, etc. add on some additional numbers. Less easy to count, and sure, less easy to desperately try to hang them on President Trump … but they'll be just as dead as those with COVID-19, no?

              My apologies in advance if you meant this as an April Fool's joke - that was it, you got me, right?

                I’ll answer. No, they don’t count in this comparison.

                  It IS in bad taste. There was chatter the past few days about April fool's, being respectful. This is not.

                  My Mom would have turned 90 today so I called her sister to say I wouldn't be coming for Easter. Good secular fun.

                      New York has over 74,000 cases. New Jersey over 18,000 cases then it drops all the way down to California with over 8,900 cases. One has to wonder what steps California has taken to slow the spread that New York could have done. No?
                      Also, Washington State (initially the first US hotspot) has now tailed off dramatically. Good for them.

                      Not a huge fan of California or their governor … but you gotta give them credit where credit is due.

                      In the meantime, in NYC where Mayor DiBlasio was on TV as late as 3/10/20 telling his constituents and visitors to go to a movie or a show and a restaurant - this on the day when the NBA shut down their season later that same day - they have big problems.

                      NYC is admittedly a tough place, high population density that spills over into nearby New Jersey and Gold Coast Connecticut. Gov. Cuomo is in an even more challenging situation, having to balance the needs of the City with those of the wide swaths of Upstate where there is relatively low COVID-19 activity. I can see them embracing a county-by-county strategy once the curve "bends".

                              Drs. Fauci and Birx disagree with your assessment, as do a growing majority of Americans - with the most movement coming from Dems and independents. How does that make you feel?

                              Moreover, how bad is it going to be for you and those like you come November 2020 when President Trump gets re-elected? To be followed by Pence 2024 and 2028, before we start going through the Trump kids (Don Jr. and Eric) for the middle years of the century? First woman President (Ivanka), the first Jewish President (Jared or Ivanka) … and then we finish it all off with Baron?

                              I've got your legacy, right here buddy!!! <==== winky means I'm kidding. Kinda.

                              Hey Ref - saw you enjoyed the Python/Bee bit. No need to hide it from disapproving prudes.

                                Apparently a slow news day on that front, honestly could have done without it today, but whenever you guys don't get to see Drs. Fauci and Birx, you start sowing conspiracy theories. Hey, who knew Dr. Fauci was a basketball star in his younger days?
