    All that I do? I cannot believe the level of excusing going on for an Administration as corrupt and incapable as this one. Just wait until the real disaster or crises hits. Or go speak with the residents of Puerto Rico, you know, those other Americans?

    My life style, other than being more diligent than previously, hasn’t changed. Except Tempo’s my hero now.
    Awwww.  TY.

    I'll be sure to make you proud!

    Save the rest for the Trump thread.  Back on topic.

    I was planning on seeing PJ in Germany this summer and if this craziness keeps up I would think that I won't be able to fly.  I haven't bought plane tix yet but don't want to shell out the extra to get refundable tix.  It is an extra cost that I feel is bullshit.

    Most airlines are applying those policies to any tier ticket. I would double check

    He also asked for a state of emergency over the weekend too...
    Which is really declaring a state of preparedness.

    Regarding my question, would you rather be mandatorily quarantined in a hospital or volunteer to self-isolate at home? @tempo_n_groove
    If given the choice who wouldn't want to self isolate?  I'm not sure why my answer would be any different than anyone else's?

    He mentioned that.  The state can do much more on their own by not waiting for federal govt action.

    Excellent piece by James Howard Kunstler today as relates to what may happen as a result of the virus and hit to the economy:


    "We’re lucky for one thing: this crisis of advanced civilization is striking at the very start of the planting season. If you’re prudent, you can begin at once to organize serious gardening efforts, if you live in a part of the country where that is possible. I’d go heavy on the potatoes, cabbages, winter squashes, and beans, because they’re all keepers over winter. Baby chicks sell at the local ag stores for a few bucks each now and you’ll be very grateful for the eggs. Get a rooster — even though they can be a pain-in-the-ass — and you won’t have to buy any more chicks.

    If you live in a part of the country where the terrain is rugged and well-watered — as I do — start scoping out local hydro sites that might potentially generate electricity or drive machinery directly from water power. We will probably need more of that. Around here many of those sites are signified by the ruins of decommissioned factories and hydro-stations from not much more than a century ago. They were originally built with a lot less machine power than we would use today, and a lot more power of men working in groups. We’ve forgotten how effective men can be working together with pretty simple tools. We were too busy devaluing men in recent decades for the sake of a moral crusade to erase “gender” differences. Well, that will be bygone so fast your head will spin.

    The big cities won’t do well if supply chains stay down for a month or longer. This ought to be self-evident. If you have friends or relatives in places where food can be grown, or in the small towns favorably located near productive land and running water, maybe this is a good time to start negotiating some new arrangements and making a move, if you can. Nobody knows yet just how deeply the effects of corona virus will cut through daily life in the weeks ahead. The potential for disorder isn’t tiny, looking at the current situation, at least in terms of broken business relationships and the flow of vital goods. We’ve apparently entered the hunkering-in-place stage of the crisis. Be prepared for plenty of action when the hunkering ends and the hungering begins."

    Disgusting. Is it ok to call someone an idiot if they believe in god? Or if they think they’re the opposite sex? Why is ok to completely trounce and abuse someone based on their political belief? The hypocrisy is insane and Dems like you are gonna screw us with another 4 years

    Were you around during the Obama years? In fact, I’d be willing to bet that if you polled residents of red states that they’d agree with Team Trump Treason’s dismantlement and defunding of the Obama era cabinet level position that was created to address and respond to this type of issue. You know, given the power of prayer and warmer weather and all? And that it’s no big deal.

    What’s your over/under on the number of votes Team Trump Treason receives in November?

    Regarding my question, would you rather be mandatorily quarantined in a hospital or volunteer to self-isolate at home? @tempo_n_groove
    On this topic, I'll try to remember where I came across this, but there was an article talking about how there's no historical precedence for quarantine being an effective control mechanism for a pandemic, but that there is historical precedence for isolation being an effective control mechanism. The major difference is that isolation would only contain sick people, whereas quarantine contains a mix. I'm curious to re-read that framed specifically around these cruise ship disasters.

    Its a post on a political forum where Trump is very much a part of the coronavirus in america story due to his incompetence and narcissism.

    I don't see that as sad at all. It's awareness.

    Disgusting. Is it ok to call someone an idiot if they believe in god? Or if they think they’re the opposite sex? Why is ok to completely trounce and abuse someone based on their political belief? The hypocrisy is insane and Dems like you are gonna screw us with another 4 years
    The fact that a truly stupid person decided to take a quarantine instruction as a suggestion and endangered others, is not a product of anything other than a truly stupid person's reckless decision. I think it's a pretty safe assumption that stupid people exist in most population cross-sections (Red, Blue, or Purple states), so I agree with you about calling this what it is - a stupid person, not a stupid State.

    In terms of the "trounce and abuse someone based on their political belief", let's not pretend cheap shots rife with hypocrisies, exaggerations, and intentional context omissions, haven't been thrown in both directions. I'll let someone else pick up the inevitable fight over "who is worse/how much/why it's justifiable" because I don't care, but I agree that these subtle jabs do no one any favours.
