    Damn.  This thread has gone sideways.  I'm personally going to step aside for a while to let everyone discuss Trump, both sides, etc.  Be safe and healthy, everyone!
    My big decision right now is to where to order take out from Saturday night.  What about you?  
    Oh very big news: we have really weird alcohol laws in NJ; the governor just relaxed the laws and breweries can now make home deliveries!

    Why are there still cruise ships allowed to depart? And who would want to get one one? 
    Reminds me of Bill Burr’s jokes about cruise ships and the type of people who go on them. And his solution is the government just bombs and sinks them all.

    Also, Frontier just announced all flights are $11 just in case your interested is sitting in a virus tube. Why not close at that point, they have to be losing a lot of money at that price.

    Here is an informative video on the subject from the most prominent coronavirus expert in South Korea. It is subtitled, but well worth the watch for those who welcome multiple perspectives.

    Clearly said both sides. Nice try though. I guess you’re saying the lesser of two evils? If that’s even a thing. And are you saying every republican is a racist clan member? I’m not really sure what you’re saying.

    A bunch of the planes are empty though, it's very tempting.

    I'm with you, b. 

    But before I go, I'm going to recommend this hour eleven video again.  Maybe some of you will see why working together may be our only chance for survival.  Yes, there are some political idiots out there and fuck them and all that, but we need to get past the politics and get with science and work together and fix some shit.  Dr. Hotez here at one point talks about how he used to be able to work with both sides of the isle to help deal with widespread disease and how he would really like to do that again and if we don't... well, basically he said (in more polite words) we are fucked.

    Coming here has been a real downer this morning folks.  Take care, be safe.

    Yeah that governor is a fucking idiot of the highest order.  He only is doing it because the asswipe in Chief (who isn't to blame, there are two sides lol) changed his tone
    Also, the fool said that the virus was around during super bowl in his state

    People like this are baffling.  What idiots support them?

    Way to go Governor.

    NY and NJ governors doing a good job fighting this absent any leadership from the feds.  

    Gotta keep fighting 
    So many deaths and it is going to increase.


    Deblasio is an ass.
    Agree.  Cuomo is the man.
    Murphy is doing his thing as well.
    He's not the camera politician Cuomo clearly is but I think he is providing solid leadership and is front and center in (smart) efforts to help and prepare for the shitstorm that is coming.
    Definitely agree, Murphy is doing an outstanding job during this crisis. He keeps saying mid-May...ugh.  I think I'll be remote teaching for a while.   
    Yup. I teach college and all of the summer classes at CUNY are going to continue to be taught online. Who know what will happen in the Fall semester. I feel bad for the students who are not going to get a graduation ceremony this year.

    Every Republican is not be a racist clan member. But I'm sure it's pure coincidence that every racist clan member just happens to be a Republican.

    Here's a fun exercise: There's 12 racists sitting at a table eating lunch and saying racist-y type stuff.  Someone comes along and joins them, sits down and starts eating lunch with the 12 racists, but doesn't say a word.  Now how many racists are there at the table?

     So, how many people have been beat up for simply wearing a MAGA hat?  I have yet to see or hear or read about this.

    Within a few weeks I suspect Ontario and Canada in general will be producing their own PPE and ventilators...the great manufacturers of Ontario are retooling and are starting to churn out what will be  needed.

    We get shit done over here in a crisis...

    Ontario Premier says Ontario will no longer rely on the world for our PPE.  Wants PPE  manufactured in Canada.  Time to bring manufacturing back to these shores...fuck those evil bastards in China...

    I like the idea of bringing manufacturing back to these shores. :)

    Here is something distracting, very enjoyable. Hope all enjoy.

    You’ve yet to believe any of those stories. They must have been doing something to get beat up right? Couldn’t just be for wearing a hat? Right?

    From republican politicians? I don’t personally know any republicans that are doling out death threats or are ok with it. Extremists on both sides are equally as psychotic. 
    It is a result from mixed and dangerous signals from the white house.  Trump seems to be hedging his bets by saying that we need to go out there and not halt the economy, and be normal by Easter...  but the meaney scientist-know-it-all-probably-socialist guys are making him put 6 million people out of jobs.  Also not giving any clear Federal mandate (which should have been done weeks ago and will cost many lives and prolong the inability to start up society.  

    And you have a very mainstream radio host (who was just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom) plainly saying this is all phony and we are throwing away $22 trillion of GDP.  Fauci (and Birx) are the face of the responsible decision to shut down.
