Decided to see what all the fuss was about at the grocery store tonight. I’m in St. Paul, mn.
Security guards at both entrances. Of course, no toilet paper, pasta, rice, beans, almost no meat, soup, and cereal. Bonkers. The organic/natural foods aisle was well stocked though. Go figure.
Stay healthy my friends. We’ll see this through.
I’m in St Paul. Went to Target Roseville because it was the one store for which we had web-based evidence of TP. No TP. The scene was dystopian. Kinda freaky.

We live near Northfield, my wife ran in to a woman from Minneapolis this morning who had driven to the Target there for TP because there is none to be found in the metro. It's insane. I stopped at Trader Joe's in St. Paul the day before and stared at bare shelves in most places. It seems the local food co-ops aren't being ransacked though because all of them I have been to still have stuff in stock. The crazies are scared of those places apparently.
Wow. A bunch of business people who have done things solving problems rather the bureaucrats who have done nothing stumbling about worried about saying the right thing. What a breath of fresh air.
Everything he does is the most basic, bottom of the barrel shit any jerkoff on the street could think of, which in his mind he thinks is genius level stuff.
Get CEO's from major companies talk about how they got this for 15-20 seconds each.
Absolute brilliance.
This man is one of the greats.
Having worked with HHS, CMS and other Government Agencies, the competency of the people is 10 times what the previous Administration was. They have a clue what health is as opposed to the prior administration (which I 'm sure was common with most administrations) had a bunch of bureaucrats that were just learning and had no clue how to get anything done.
I'm not talking about the figure heads. I'm talking about the people actually doing the work.
So, feel free being happy and wishing illness and death. You will be proven wrong. Sorry to make you unhappy.
Churchill - We shall go on to the end.. we shall fight in France.... FDR - The only thing we have to fear.... JFK - ASK NOT.... Reagan - Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall Trump - "That’s a nasty question...When you say me, I didn't do it. We have a group of people [in the administration].”

'I don't take responsibility at all'
Could the 40% maga head crowd agree electing a silver spoon president is dangerous? Nah.
So weird to see the extreme panic buying, it hasn’t started here yet. Fully stocked shelves and toilet paper en masse 🤷🏼♀️ That doesn’t mean people aren’t stocking up a bit.
A dutch friend sent me some info about a university on holland has been working on a sars cure for 5 years and they applied it to corona and it seems to work. Something positive i guess. A few months away

China criticizes Sweden's handling of the corona virus, reports Ekot.
In a newspaper owned by the ruling Communist Party, Sweden is accused of having "surrendered" to the infection.
- Specifically, Sweden is singled out as particularly irresponsible, says Björn Jerdén, Head of the Asia Program at the Foreign Policy Institute to SR.
WHO now describes Europe as the epicenter of the corona eruption. At the same time, sharp criticism comes from China against Sweden's handling of the outbreak.
In an editorial in the Global Times magazine, owned by the Communist Party, the international community and the EU are urged to condemn Sweden - which they say is "capitulated" in the fight against the virus, reports Ekot.
- It's a very sharp message. It is said that Sweden has given up the fight against the infection. They specifically point out Sweden as particularly irresponsible and say that Sweden's actions can have negative consequences for the global fight against the corona virus, says Björn Jerdén, head of the Asia Program at the Foreign Policy Institute to Ekot.
In the article, Sweden is compared to a "black hole" that can spread the infection further. In particular, the new line of criticizing risk groups and healthcare professionals is criticized.
Leader articles of this type are sanctioned by the Communist Party that governs China, says Björn Jerdén at the Foreign Policy Institute, and therefore has a weight.
- With that said, it is not certain that, for example, Chinese Foreign Ministry will spin on this criticism towards Sweden, we will see that in the future.
Swedish-Chinese relations have reached bottom levels over Swedish publisher Gui Minhai, who is imprisoned in China. Therefore, it is not unexpected that Sweden is criticized, says Chinese expert Kristina Sandklef.
But at the bottom there is probably also a genuine concern about how the corona virus is handled, she says.
- I interpret it as being very worried about what is happening in Sweden, then we must remember that the Swedish-Chinese relations are very bad at the moment.

Supermarkets lined up to carpark just to get in. Stupid people will be spreading the virus while stocking up for it. Glad I live out of town and have a small supermarket for what I need. Down to 8 rolls of TP rationing those cause can't get it anywhere and not bothering with crowds. Social gatherings of over 500 are cancelled as of Monday but even our local farmers markets are cancelled along with everything else yet our borders are not completely closed (Australia)
Well, I don't go back to school in the DC metro area of Virginia until April 13. I start to work virtually Monday. We will see if virtual learning actually works. I'm going to enjoy time off from the world.
I've been working out at home instead of going to the gym. That sounds like nothing, I'm sure, but it suuuuucks.
No. It definitely sucks. Anyone who exercises at home and says it’s the same or better than gym is lying.
If they end up telling people to stay inside I am going to go nuts. Running on the dreadmill vs outside will be one of the more difficult parts of being on lockdown. (Apart from any actual illness in the house, of course.)

Assuming you have access to the outdoors outside of an urban area, the fresh air may be beneficial. They used to treat epidemics with open air treatment. Something about open air is mildly microbial and patients used to show better recovery rates in tents and cross ventilated hospitals than closed indoors. Open air factor is what they called it, not sure what the current scientific consensus on OAF is though...

Running and vitamin D both help fight respiratory illnesses, so I would think that running outside in the sun is a good preventative measure against COVID-19. I'm not a doctor, but it makes sense to me.

It may sound like nothing to some, but I can relate to this 100%. Going to the gym is a daily ritual for me. It’s therapeutic after a long day at work. I’m doing it from home too, but it’s not the same. If this lasts for a month or more, which seems likely, it’s going to be a long road.

If we all go on lockdown, I’m running outside anyway. Let them arrest me. I’m not being told I can’t run outside with no one around. Fuck that.

Over the past year or so, I’ve built my own home gym (dreadmill, airdyne bike, squat rack, barbells, kettle bells...). I like it. I don’t have to leave the house at 5am when it’s -10 in January, and I don’t have to deal with the dumb asses doing arm curls in the squat rack or camping out on benches.
But, I understand the appeal of the gym. My eyes don’t get the same workout at home as they did at the gym.
Foreign Minister Ann Linde has commented through her press secretary:
“I'm proud of everyone who works hard to limit Covid-19. International cooperation is needed to solve the situation the world is now facing. In today's difficult situation, polemics do not help. "
Justice Minister Morgan Johansson (S) commented on the criticism in Ekot's Saturday interview.
- It may be a result of the strained relations that existed between Sweden and China for some time. At the same time, it should be noted that we have lower spread of infection than other countries, including Norway and Denmark. Right now, the most important thing is not to worry about international conflicts. The best that states can do is to work together on this, he says.
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
I’ll be outside all weekend working on my yard cleanup for spring , I’m also going walking through the woods get some nice fresh air glad I live in suburbs not in City...
