He mentioned it at the 1:08 mark of the video. I never even knew Lyme was a town in Connecticut or where that name of that disease came from until watching this.

I have a friend that’s been suffering from it for years. An awful disease to have. Well I guess any disease is awful to have.

You don't?  Always thought it was a really stupid criticism of trump and others.  Kinda showing that he does get unfair stupid treatment from time to time from these new outlets.  I wish they wouldn't do that and provide that evidence cause it gives the idiots that support trump the little ammo they need to convince themselves of some huge conspiracy against Trump.

Biden should just start to get down&dirty against the idiot!

https://youtu.be/UHjJydZO99A

video for those twitter haters

Comparing a pandemic to a terrorist attack? Seems like an attempt to exploit emotion since the two events have no connection whatsoever. Praising Italy and the world for shutting down and quarantining? Yeah, only after they had been highly infected while the US had seemingly yet to be. Selective presentation of facts, yet another propaganda tactic. The video would have been much better served were it actually comparing the handling of this crisis to other countries when they were at the same threat level as us,  but we know that wasn’t really the reason it was made. Were mistakes made? Of course, but the same can be said for any crises. Just look at every other country dealing with this that the video seems to think did such a great job. Social media is our equivalent of a wet market. You’ve been infected now stop infecting other people because you believe everything you see and read.

Dying Easter eggs tonight.  Easter baskets tomorrow.  Then dinner with my wife and four kids (minus my son who has been at my ex’s)

I think most countries have done a better job than the US.

The only reason things aren't much worse there is because most governors showed true leadership. If it was left up to just Trump and his admin I fear things would be much much worse.

Due to our size, population, and regional variance of the spread, there's no scenario where states/Governors weren't going to have to take on much of the work. It's how we're set up. For his part, Trump and his administration have done and continue to do a poor job with preparedness, response, and planning but it's apples and oranges to compare the US to most European countries.

Dying eggs, does that mean painting them or tiedying them like Kurt screams about in that Nirvana live album?

In eastern europe I think they boil them with onion skins, which is quite nice looking

mcgruff10

Dying them with different colors.  No onion skins but that does look sweet.

Here's an interesting article that proposes that putting money into widespread testing would do more to slow the spread of the virus AND help the economy much more than doling out the $1200 which only help people get by for maybe a week or so:

I was just having this exact thought while driving to my weekly store run and listening to NPR story on the checks coming out.

I had another mini-meltdown while out and still not able to find dishwasher powder. Did people eat on paper plates before this pandemic? How can we, a month out, still not have dishwasher powder in the cleaning aisles? I'm going to be forced to buy the $75 case of it on Amazon. My mom says "WE can wash the dishes by hand." I'm like, "Mom, there is no WE when it comes to housework around here." I know I'm supposed to be grateful that my biggest problem is no Cascade. I'm really just over all of it. The Cascade is emblematic of my virus fatigue.
