Trump and republican governors are ensuring we get at least 20-30 million cases on the low end. 

Trump is running on incompetence, red ink, and body bags in 2020 as the face of the deadly and repulsive republican brand.

Please - just stow it.  You are embarrassing your family.

Fauci not so good at math - or is it this particular Yahoo writer?

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/coronavirus-live-updates-global-pandemic-killed-more-30-075002087--abc-news-topstories.html

100-200,000 is 10% of 1-2 million


At 2% the number of dead off 2 million cases would be 40,000.

What’s the number of “acceptable losses” or would that be collateral damage?

The media is a hungry beast and sometimes gnaws on its own foot for sustenance.   



heh

ya think?



Media members allowed to go about their business.  Doesn't matter their prowess - just that they are "media"

Many of the best and brightest are told to stay the fuck home.

Seems a funny way to attack a real national crisis.

Tell that to Edward R. Murrow, Phil Capitol, Syd Schanberg et al.

Better yet,Nutella that to Ron DeSantis

Hate to tell you that once the virus is already fairly widespread, strict measures need to be put in place and enforced.  Still seems a lot of halfway measures and voluntary compliance in the US, including NJ, and I'm not sure any of this is going to be enough.
I'm not on the ground, so can't really evaluate, but what i'm hearing makes me nervous.

Yeah. Nervous is an appropriate response.

But today I watched the second half of season 3 of Black Lightning.

Sometime next week I’ll watch the final season of Supernatural.

Everyone, please don’t be stupid. Be safe and be well.

Keep those resumes handy.

Re:  TV

Started up TREME again recently.  VINYL as well

Tough to go on to new stuff rather than re-watch the real good content available (went through Sopranos Season 4 on as well).

From the new stuff...

The English Game was good (Netflix).  I will post others as they impress me.

Trump has convinced most of the nation it is time to douse him in gasoline and strike a match. He’s really sealing the deal with his recent press appearances.

He’s not the type of grifter to stop campaigning to address a national crisis or one to grow even a vestige of a human heart.

I love a mystery YouTube click with a good punchline.

The poll numbers reflect simple psychology of some people in a crisis are more prone to imagining a leader is in charge, in order to reduce anxiety.   The fantasy often ends when the crisis ends.

Easy,  tiger.   Also,  could we consider a lower carbon footprint?

Trump wanted to ride it like a cowboy and bust that Chinese virus like a bronco.

Who knew we had Slim Pickens as President?

YEEEEEEEHAW!





We'll meet again,

don't know where
