Slight inaccuracy there. Burr is indeed very wealthy. When I lived in Asheville, it was common knowledge that he is one of the largest land owners in Western NC.

i just sent him a choicely worded message...

just rode with a trumpist friend whose wife works in healthcare. he's convinced it'll all blow over shortly, and the the new arthritis medication "cure" is gonna take care of it.

have fun over the next two or three weeks, buddy!

Facepalm be damned. I have a feeling it will be very heavily weighted R and senior members who will retire soon...

You are assuming they have a sense of shame and responsibility.

Or, absolutely nothing will happen, I don’t know. But I DO want to know all of the financial shenanigans amongst Trump’s family in the last two months.

If it helps create a mob with fire bombs outside his hotels, I wouldn't complain.

Shit is pretty serious.
I was talking to a few friends about how lightly things are taken up the States.

Lockdowns is pretty much the only thing that actually work.

Just cater it with Popeyes, and we can have a real white trash party. The hips don't lie, after all.

they got popeyes in wyoming?

i remember being in whitefish i think two years ago at some pizza place at the bar and they were excited to be getting a chic-fil-a in the same shopping center.....really?

 

[norbar]

no i was referring to the 3d printed ventilator parts. the manufacturer / patent owner wouldn't share their designs but they didn't threaten legal action.

Aahh this is good then. At least some people are not shits. Though Bono making a covid song kinda brings it back down again. I love the "help" stars offer.

Admittedly, nuking from orbit could become a viable option soon.

Quick grocery stop this morning. Good amount of fresh produce still, but the inner aisles were thin. Milk was light, but there. Meat there was mostly just expensive cuts or lunch meat. What was a little disturbing was the large number of older folks with a couple of people loudly bitching about this all being a fake. So you have an older population mixing with a group that clearly is doing fuck-all to mitigation...

Watch where you shop around here.

maybe i'm just cynical, but this could be a problem that solves itself.

They aren't necessarily the same group though...

Hopefully everyone who doesn't take isolation seriously, regardless of age, are the ones who get smoked.
Dead weight for the recovery.

I wonder if there will be a belly boom with all those people staying at home eating like there is no tomorrow...

Looks like the Tory government just winging it has the expected effects. This guy is the editor of The Lancet and he asked health care professionals in the UK about the current status:

I keep reinforcing to my parental units to avoid everyone and be super careful when they need to head out for their weekly shop. :/

I disagree with him here: "If we're only seeing right now one-seventh of the actual disease because we're not testing enough, and we're just blind to it, then we're in a world of hurt." If 6/7th asymptomatic then herd immunity will arrive much quicker.
