Thanks Brian, that was a very informative listen!brianlux said:EDIT: Sorry, my link starts in the middle and the beginning is not to be missed. Start at the beginning and watch it all. Best info yet.Well worth watching the whole video. This is the best info I've found yet and Osterholm's credentials are excellent. Highly recommended.0 -
Hahaha, mostly kidding. But the reality is there is a fine balance here because destroying the economy will have negative effects on a lot of people as well. So I do not envy the leaders making these decisions. It's not a simple as some want people to believe, and they do not have enough info really, so it's their best guess. I hope the guesses are more right then wrong.Spiritual_Chaos said:

Everyone that has turned a blind eye to the words that have come out of this cancerous pile of shit and spewed the whole, 'He communicates differently! He has his own style! He likes to exaggerate! You can't take every word that he says seriously! I like that he says whatever pops into his head with zero filter! load of fucking horseshit is about to understand why having a chronic liar, narcissistic pile of garbage in office matters.
The silver lining is that between this and Biden get the Democratic nomination, I honestly truly think that this is FINALLY it for this cum stain.
I don't see how he can possibly survive this heading into an election.'I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine.'0 -

I guess we can give war a chance? And because somebody asked how we stand up to and change the big bad China bully.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/03/16/the-peace-corps-breaks-ties-with-china?
An American staff member greeted me with a pained look. She said something to the effect that the tree she wished to have seen was a tactful announcement, but Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, of Florida, had declared the closure of the China program on Twitter. “Rubio and Rick Scott wanted to take credit for it,” she said angrily.The Peace Corps has sent more than thirteen hundred volunteers to China, and the agency, which is now active in sixty countries, has always been viewed as removed from political spats. The U.S. had never ended a Peace Corps program because of a diplomatic conflict, but the timing of the decision about China seemed suspicious. The coronavirus had yet to come to widespread attention, and the Senators, who had previously expressed doubts about a Chinese trade deal, tweeted the day after President Trump signed a Phase 1 economic agreement with China.
“For too long, Beijing has fooled organizations such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization,” Rubio wrote. Scott chimed in: “I’m glad the Peace Corps has finally come to its senses and sees Communist China for what it is: the second largest economy in the world and an adversary of the United States.”
Rick Scott began demanding an end to Peace Corps China in the summer of 2019. “What the Peace Corps shouldn’t be doing is propping up our adversaries with U.S. tax dollars,” the Senator said, in a statement. Such criticism had also been made in 2011, by Mike Coffman, a Republican congressman from Colorado. Scott introduced a bill that would cancel programs “in hostile countries, like China,” and place the Peace Corps under the oversight of the State Department.
The agency has always functioned independently within the executive branch, in part to prevent programs from being manipulated as direct tools of foreign policy. No other senators signed on to Scott’s bill, but he continued to attack the Peace Corps and China. His criticism of both seemed to be recent. Before entering politics, Scott reportedly amassed a fortune of more than two hundred million dollars as an entrepreneur in the health-care industry. In two terms as governor of Florida, from 2011 to 2019, Scott welcomed Chinese investors to the state, and he chaired Enterprise Florida, a pro-business consortium that has offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. A blind trust held by the Governor included stocks with ties to Chinese companies.
The old confidence had also vanished. It seemed part of a larger American trend: every foreign contact was a threat, every exchange was zero-sum. Instead of trusting themselves and their best models, people regressed to the paranoia of those with closed systems. In the Washington Examiner, a conservative magazine, Tom Rogan celebrated the end of Peace Corps China. When Rogan mentioned the Chinese Ministry of State Security, he probably had no idea how much he sounded like a ministry hack:
We must thus ask how many of the more than 1,300 previous volunteers in China may have been recruited by the MSS during their time there. The number is likely very small, but unlikely to be zero. How many of those volunteers then returned home to take up employment in the State Department or another U.S. government agency?

I'll ask again in a week too.I'm not panicking no. I am fairly certain I will get it . I work at Costco. 1000's of people a day come through my warehouse. I'm 57, so not in a terribly vulnerable age group, but I have Ulcerative Colitis, so..immune issues.Honestly, I'd rather get it right now, before the hospitals are overwhelmed, which I feel is inevitable.0 -
