A reminder, we are just a week or two behind them.

My brother, a top level manager at an insurance company, said the peak is predicted to be April.

Ohhh my pearls! How dare you!!!

I'm not taking rufie off ignore for that crass remark, but you really need to get ahold of yourself.

I really don't though. A stupid comment is a stupid comment.

Good god we are so screwed.

Oh and if I have to watch that annoying Indian lady nod her head every time Trump or his idiots speak anymore I might PRAY to get the virus.

Two weeks ago, Italy had only 159 cases. Now they're letting old people die because they have to choose between possibly saving them, or saving someone younger who's more likely to recover, because they lack the resources to save both.

The irony is just too much. CPAC and Mar a Lago are the centers from which the virus runs through DC.

I don't agree with that but when you have to work around Trump, that's a tough gig.

She’s chosen to be a sycophant and a puppet. And I think she’s made some incredibly dumb decisions. So we’ll just disagree

I’m thinking I may go full pony in the other thread...

bwahaha
I was in hysterics when I saw that

Given BoJo's plan for dealing with it, and the numbers rapidly on the rise in the UK, there was no excuse to exclude them.

Were you thinking there was a reason to exclude them to start with?

Sounds like Spain is going to shut down too.

Spain should. I don’t hold their infrastructure in as high of a class as France to handle this

Re: Covfefe 19: now in 3D

From what I have been reading, the key to avoiding an Italy type situation is to ramp up the testing. No idea where we stand with that. But they think it's a big reason why South Korea has had better success.

We are nowhere near ready for the amount of testing that needs to be done. Weeks away from it and by then it is WAY too late. S. Korea and Singapore deal with pandemics quite often (you know, the ones we mock because they never hit here) so they have infrastructure in place. Since we are cheap *** morons who would rather pay less in taxes than fund proper basic care (or have a government ready to prevent these things) and elect nimrods who line their pockets instead of protecting us...well we are screwed.

And I honestly dont care if you think that was a partisan attack or a "stupid comment" cause it is the truth. And I have zero sympathy for the GOP members who get it. (though I hope they recover) For a bunch of hypocritical clowns who want nothing more than to meet Jesus they sure do seem scared.
