Re: Covid 19

Here are some numbers that are interesting:
Every year about 57M people die world wide.
That's 150k per day.
Coronavirus has killed about 8,000 in three months.

What am I missing?

Honest question.

Re: Covid 19

It’s coming.
Over the next few days, you are going to think you are living in a Sci-fi movie as the government switches from “belaying” fears to “increasing” them. The political debate will quickly evolve this week turning into a survival debate.
It’s coming.

You sound almost giddy. Please try to contain your excitement, some may find it in questionable taste.
 
Re: Covid 19

From today's WH briefing: VP Pence has still not been tested. Inconceivable. Guidelines have been revised in a "15 Days To Slow the Spread" two sided document which is not on the WH, CDC or Fox News web site. Inconceivable. I could have it on my web site in < 2 minutes (((IF)) someone gave it to me in txt, doc or html format. Point being they probably pulled a few copies off a WH printer as they walked to the Rose Garden.

The guy said flat out he doesn't have any symptoms. He's almost 15 years younger than the President, and has none of the risk factors (nor did Trump, but he at least falls in the age group more at risk). So, it's very conceivable. I'm two years younger than Pence, and also have no symptoms. Should we totally waste a test kit on me while we're at it?

If you're going to argue "line of succession", the next person in line is older than both of them, and turns 80 next week. I don't hear any hectoring questions being lobbed like grenades in that direction (and I'll apologize if I missed it). Some might say, hey, that's "inconceivable". G'night, all. :)

From the UNH thread 3/15/2020 9:56 AM:

The President, Vice President, Speaker of the House of Representatives should be tested EVERY day. If one tests positive then the next person in the presidential line of succession should be added to the daily testing protocol. Everyone entering the White House should have their temperature checked. The President should maintain distance from people and for the love of gawd stop shaking hands with everyone he presents during is MC duties. Set an example ferchrissakes.
Similar to a company's top executives not travelling together. Unless you are on the short list to replace Mike Pompeo, you are good.

I've been saying for a week that future-President Pelosi should already be under isolation so she isn't infected when Sniffles and Pray-the-Gay-Away inevitably succumb to the disease.

NOT a Mike pence fan, but he was impressive on Friday. Who knows why he was relatively quiet yesterday. My guess is that the President, with an increased understanding of reality, is now better at addressing the country and that they can't have the VP upstaging the President as a leader and a statesman. Agree or disagree with his opinions, but the VP has been an executive and it shows.

Many ultra right-wing religious conservatives look and act like executives, one comment on his usual behavior is, “He just inhabits a different reality. It’s very difficult for him to lay aside the social agenda. He’s a zealot.” Poised or not, a well-educated zealot is more dangerous than Trump. Pence is the Democratic party's worst nightmare.

Utter disgust for reverend pence. He sold his soul to be vp and confirms that every time he gets in front of the camera. He spends all his time singing high praises of the Orange man child. Every time, no exceptions. And the trumpettes lap it up like honey.
Based on his religion, he better ask forgiveness as the lust in his eyes for the orangutan is a no no in his bible.
But then again, in Trump world, kissing the ring is a requirement to staying employed.
