I'm sure you'll be fine. Imagine perishing because of a trip to the hairdresser though. All this time you thought it would be the Muslims who dealt you the mortal blow.

Many are being released from prison now.
Hopefully they're being monitored.

The theory that China caused the virus to destroy the economies of western nations is gaining momentum.

There’s a whole new field of epidemiology explaining why some sad chumps would want to believe that.

TRUMP: "We're learning from watching other countries ... This is a very contagious virus, it's incredible, but it's something that we have tremendous control over. I think very important the young people, people of good health and groups of people just are not strongly affected."

"Tremendous control."

Hey, Ward, laugh at Trump's gross misrepresentation there, too, would you?!

Ordinarily, I might suggest somebody explain it to Ward and Kid (and Bambi) in small words. But I doubt even that would help.

Clap clap clap....

for CNN and the Democratic party.

Moderators stayed out of the way.  Both candidates quite lucid - and at times impressive.

Progress.

The absence of a live studio audience was quite helpful to the process.  Both Bern and Joe took advantage of the calmer environment to clarify some things about how legislative bills are passed and do not consist of one single measure - you can be for a part of a bill,  but end up voting against it due to other riders.   Both did well (Bernie was a bit more nimble and specific overall) in defending their voting records in the Senate.   Bernie got across that he's focused on having whoever wins the nom be able to reach out to his coalition and understand the importance of the Millennials and post-Millennials in November.

"The question many are asking is... 'if kids don't get it -- if most people who get it are fine, why are we closing down America to fight it?"' Hilton asked.


"You need to answer the big question many Americans are asking. Instead of closing school, colleges, sports and other large gatherings for the general population, why don't we isolate the vulnerable population?"

The answer, if they are paying the slightest attention, has been given and given.

And for you, Kid, who seems oddly enough to have missed it:

Kids can be carriers. Putting them in a room together pretty much guarantees the spread.

AND

We are isolating the vulnerable populations, too! Since the most vulnerable are folks with compromised immune systems and other issues, by closing down the sports we are making it harder to spread to them. By closing off the nursing homes from (most) visitors, we are protecting our elderly.

There are a lot of people who are vulnerable, but don't know it for a host of reasons.

And the less it spreads, the better off we - the country and the world - are.

Republicans have failed. Their policies are terrible. They all need to be removed.
