Covfefe-19 part 6: Waiting For Advice from Kid Rock and Tiger Woods now.

That hashtag flipped a couple of hours later. It became all liberals ripping Magaytes for attacking a company using capitalism to make a profit

And boycotting one of the firms making life saving equipment has a certain irony to it, too.

Ok

It’s self-enforcing. Communities that don’t will die off quicker. Communities that do, won’t.

The disease does not care. Our social difficulties are irrelevant.

I'm well-aware. I'm just telling it like it is.

In fifty years that phrasing going to make everyone cringe like “Final Solution” does today.

You get what I'm saying though? You and I might continue to shelter in place because we know better, but the more this thing gets extended past Memorial Day, and especially as the curve does eventually bend and start downward, the more Joe & Jane Sixpack are going to ignore further orders.

Minneapolis already announced that there will be no rec sports leagues or public pools open this summer and no beaches will be staffed with lifeguards to discourage gatherings.

I saw something last night where multiple governors are saying their people can’t SIP after April 30. What that means is “they don’t want to”

Whitmer wants to extend SIP, but Republicans in our state legislature are balking.

Yeah, the whole warm weather thing hasn't shown to be the case for COVID-19 for a while now. Most of us have been saying this isn't a one or two-month SIP. This is likely a 6-18 month deal. Either until we gain herd immunity from infections or a vaccine. Until then, we're just stretching things out to keep the CFR low.

Dr Fauci still thinks it will have a seasonality to it. Just because the virus may not do quite as well in warmer humid environments doesn't mean it goes away though.

better testing and effective antivirals are the key to going somewhat back to normal without waiting 12-18 months hoping on a vaccine.

Yeah, I know. You're not a dummy by any measure. Just trying to inject a little dark humor.

But yeah, I'm really worried about that. I know the red-blooded Patriots who salute the flag *sniff* (God Bless) will exusize theyur rights as an Amurican to be free from tearunny! We're going to have a second bump, we knew we would. Most experts were hoping it was the bump in fall/winter like many pandemics have, but I'm a little concerned about this one...

There were stories last week about the favela drug gangs enforcing curfews and handing out supplies.

Best social distancing enforcers evah.

If humans won't do something about climate change, Mother Nature will.

I know a lot of people who would disagree.

Saw a good meme at the beginning of all this. Something like

"In 1941, your government was asking young people to go to war. Today, your government is asking you to sit on your couch. We can do this!"

THis was super fascinating:

The coronavirus genome ends with a snippet of RNA that stops the cell’s protein-making machinery. It then trails away as a repeating sequence of aaaaaaaaaaaaa

It's just like a human using a series of 999999999s to terminate a script. Utterly incredible.
