Lots of great stuff has been happening while the CoronaVirus hysteria panic dominates Big Media and suckers the nation. Before we splash some of the stories missed during the CoronaVirus hysteria panic we have a modest proposal to make: CANCEL THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION DUE TO CORONAVIRUS AND GIVE PRESIDENT TRUMP FOUR MORE YEARS AT LEAST THAT HAVE BEEN STOLEN FROM HIM WITH ALL THE RUSSIARUSSIARUSSIAUKRAINEUKRAINEUKRAINEIMPEACHIMPEACHIMPEACHCORONACORONACORONA NONSENSE. Immediately the leftists will say Coronavirus ain’t such a biggie.
Our favorite story, mostly ignored, is the saga of the Obama wannabe that went belly up, or was it belly down? We mean former Florida Governor wannabee Andrew Gillum who was caught in a meth strewn hotel room with his reputed boyfriend (another story Big Media refused to cover in 2018), a pay to rent gay porn muscle boy [picture of the porn star having sex with two men is here and yes it is a dirty pix so if you don’t want to see gay sex don’t go to the link], all possibly naked, throwing up in a bathroom and otherwise medically immobilized until the police came to break up the party. [Picture of Gillum and the lobbyist boyfriend here.]
Now Obama wannabee Gillum blames it all on alcohol (hey, it was meth), says he wants privacy, is going to rehab, and we have yet to hear from the wife and kids about how daddy spent his weekend (note: it was not at the “wedding” of a friend as Gillum claimed, unless “wedding” is new slang these days for a gay male gang bang of an almost Florida governor). Gillum will no longer run, he says, the anti-Trump voter registration organization he headed somehow and will no longer be a part of CNN.
Don’t say we don’t research the news. We research the porn and we research the sneakers. Sneakers??? Did you know sneakers were a thing???:
A no-savings generation is cashing in its sneaker collections
A wedding. Transmission repair. Bail money.
Those are some of the reasons why more and more sneaker collectors are cashing out the shoes they have lovingly amassed over the last decade or so.
Most were facing sudden expenses that threatened to throw their finances into disarray because student loans, rent payments, avocado toast and the like had pushed them into a cash-flow corner. [snip]
Los Angeles hairstylist Sabrina Ahmed, 28, is one. Faced with a $9,000 bill for unpaid federal taxes, Ahmed reluctantly parted with 12 pairs of sneakers last year, including a pair of Nike Air Force 1 Low Off-White MCA University Blue, listed on some reseller sites for at least 10 times the original $150 retail price. [snip]
Nike’s 1984 creation of the revolutionary Air Jordan basketball shoe, followed by the NBA banning them from professional play, is the moment that sneakers became more than mere shoes, and sneaker culture — as well as collecting — began in earnest, said Dylan Dittrich, author of “Sneakonomic Growth: Scarcity, Storytelling and the Arrival of Sneakers as an Asset Class.”
Sneakers. Who knew?
Another story of a loser that got lost in the CoronaVirus shuffle is the boy formerly known as Prince. It seems Harry and the missus got punked by those nogoodnik Russians. Harry was told by the nogoodnik Russians they were Greta Thunberg and her dad. Harry proceeded to spill his guts about President Trump, Boris Johnson, the difficulties of being rich and famous and having to live in castles and be loved by his people who pay for his grand wedding to American trash, and his great sufferings. What a dope.
Hollywood slime are also suffering due to CoronaVirus. Apparently the Hollywood creeps might lose twenty billion dollars or so, give or take a billion. Tom Hanks trapped in Australia makes us smile. It’s a crisis, says Variety magazine. We’re lovin’ it. SXSW cancelled, all the other film festivals cancelled – and it’s not about #metoo Harvey Weinstein scandals. The cancel culture Hollyweirdoes are getting cancelled. Thanks CoronaVirus.
For those of us who can’t stand basketball and dread the nonstop nonsense of basketball in March… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who have fought against globalist plots… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who have fought for America and American borders and the rule of law when illegal immigrants overrun our borders… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who have tried to waken Americans and freedom loving peoples about the threat posed by the mass outsourcing of jobs and manufacturing takeover by China… CoronaVirus has performed a miracle. For those of us who look for hidden blessings even in disasters… CoronaVirus has performed a series of miracles.
CoronaVirus is the story of the month with nonstop Big Media coverage. So be it. Look at the fun stuff. If you thought President Trump was powerful, Politico reports President Trump is now really really powerful:
What more could he do? A look at Trump’s extreme powers
Trump has claimed he can “do whatever I want, as president.” That may not be true, but in a public health emergency, he can do a lot.
President Donald Trump has declared a national emergency to combat the coronavirus — but he could go much further if he wanted.
Federal law gives Trump vast emergency powers in times of pandemic. He could direct the quarantine of people arriving in the United States who exhibit certain symptoms or even if they’re just suspected of having the virus. He could have the federal government detain individuals if their illness might wind up crossing state lines.
And under regulations revised and reissued just before Trump entered office, the government can stop and seize any plane, train or automobile to stymie the spread of contagious disease. Some even interpret the statute as meaning a president could deploy the military to cordon off a city or state.
“The federal public health power is pretty awesome … awe-inspiring in its breadth,” said Wendy Parmet, a law professor at Northeastern University.
Greyhound Bus Lines have stated they won’t cooperate with ICE inspections of buses that might transport illegal aliens. What if…. Imagine the reaction by Big Media if President Trump takes over Greyhound or stops completely the operation of their buses.
Hey, what would happen if President Trump took tens of billions of more dollars to BUILD THE WALL in order to stop illegal immigrants from coming across the southern border. Hey, they’re the ones that said President Trump wasn’t taking CoronaVirus seriously enough, right? Right?
Maybe President Trump should invite the new Greek President for a visit. She’s a beaut:
Greece’s first woman president vows to defend borders, rights, warns on virus
Athens (AFP) – Greece’s first woman president began her term on Friday with a pledge to protect the country’s borders and defend human rights, whilst warning Greeks to follow health rules as the country grapples with over 100 coronavirus cases. [snip]
The new head of the Greek state begins her five-year term in a terse standoff with neighbouring Turkey, which has allowed tens of thousands of refugees to mass at the border.
Sakellaropoulou said Greeks had to “repulse the aggression of those who make designs on our national sovereignty by making use of human pain.”
The Greek people stand with Madame President on stopping the illegal immigrants. What could possibly be the reason??? Maybe something the Danes are learning: “Over half of all of the young migrant men from Somalia, Lebanon, and Morocco living in Denmark have been convicted of at least one crime before the age of 30.”
Keep letting those invaders in Europe, dummies.
Finally, What kind of Daddy is President Trump?
‘Terrible monster’ or ‘caring father’?: Mulvaney tells on Trump
When he became the acting White House chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney was more familiar with the media’s critical portrayal of President Trump the family man than the first dad himself.
That changed on one of his first trips with Trump, and it was another eye-opening case of how the media was dead wrong.
“The first trip I went with him,” he said at the Conservative Political Action Conference, “I bet he called his son [Barron] three times, four times on the trip.” [snip]
The president is just a really caring father, and you don’t see that. The press would never show you that because it doesn’t fit that image of him, that the press wants him to be a terrible monster. But he feels about his children the same way everybody else does.”

This is the shocker: He added, “People forget that Barron’s only 13 years old. We don’t think that about him because the kid’s a giant, like 6-foot-4, 6-foot-5.”
Soon Barron will be taller than THE WALL!!! That’s a healthy boy.
This “pandemic” is causing inconvenience for me – the gym’s closed, stores closed, my old lady clubs cancelled
fortunately, I like staying home, and have a year’s worth of supplies, but if even a FEW million illegal aliens get deported, I’ll not whine about missing hot showers (yeah, this shack has no hot water heater)
In a world of almost 8 billion:
Cases of CoronaVirus: 178,958, Total deaths: 7075, Total Recovered: 78,073
https://www.news.com.au/topics/coronavirus
I think we should look back at the wisdom of the ancients and start putting some MFing heads on spikes!
42 deaths from Chinese flu, Whuhanchinese flu, Covid19-19, whatever you call it
42 deaths out of 330,000,000 people
42 deaths out of 330,000,000 people
Businesses closed, curfews, trillions of dollars of wealth lost…
42 deaths….
The #4 and the #2
42 deaths…
Can’t wait for the seasonal flu and what the plan is for 2,000 deaths per month, and not old people like me, but the young, children, infants
Maybe there will be heads on stakes!
China officials reported only 10 new Kung Flu cases Saturday! It’s freaking over in China after two months and 3,000 people died out of 1.5 billion chain smoking people living in the worst air polluted country in the world yet according to Dr. Fauci hundreds of thousands of Americans could die. Really?
I hate to say this but Trump isn’t helping with making statements that we shouldn’t gather in groups of 10 or more…
Dr strangelove fucked up the don’t panic message and the media and Dems have ridden with it all over his and our bodies.
Ohio is a Republican Governor for God sakes
I’m over my look alike coronavirus by the way
With Trumps ten people or less gathering
I think he just lost it
Which means “we”
Stock market loses money everytime they let Dr Faunci speaK
Shut him down!
Dang
I didn’t realize the John Hopkins tracker broke American deaths into which state so NOT 42.. 72 deaths
Still minuscule compared to the flu and if China is to believers, cough cough, they said they only had 10 new cases in last 24 hours.
The bearings will continue till moral improves
San Francisco is now under mandatory 3 week quarantine. Only allowed out for emergencies and monitored grocery buying

If you take a look at the trends charted for Total Cases and Total Deaths, that is understated by the lying Chinese, you may notice that this disease is just getting started. The science of epidemiology may not be an exact one, but there is little left to the imagination about where that trend is going. Public health is about preventing deaths and I respect the effort of Dr Fauci and the courage he shows giving the warning.
With 142 confirmed cases and 4 dead in Florida

I can only tell you that I am here in Palm Beach County, right next to the hot spot in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties where 62 of those cases are.
My daughter is in Orlando and they are closing the campus and going to video. I am afraid to tell her to come home.
I hope they enjoyed their 5G Superbowl sitting on 4G antennas. The whole area is a horror of hideous cell towers.
Actually, that is 5 dead in Florida now.

JB, so sorry for your loss but the balloon was overinflated. I hope you will be careful out there in cell tower city because the virus is also here. Take a look at the map it the posts above and take care. Is your office considering work from home?

Somebody has to stop the 5G madness. You would not believe what they are doing to people who have no idea what is happening to them. I travel with my meter and it seems like every day there is more and more high power radiation being broadcast on the public.

Gonzo,
PDT said today that the new guidelines including the 10 people interaction are being requested for a 15 day time period to cover this time where they are flooding the market with test kits & not only getting a handle on where things are but also to control the potential spreading of the virus at the same time…
yes the rebel in me wants to revolt but for 15 days within these confines it seems reasonable & worth the try…
bottom line…we must resist the opportunity the control freaks will take to overpower our lives & impose their control over us…we must remain mindful of our freedoms being curtailed as time goes on…
ie DeBlasio closing gyms but he gets to still go to the gym etc
the great silver lining in all of this is now PDT has the megaphone for his policies regarding China…bring our medical & drug companies home & protect our country by making our medicines here in the USA…now PDT can effectively even claim that it is cheaper & safer for us to make our products here so we are not dependent on others in the next crisis…
imo PDT is acting like a leader & we all need to pushback on the critics
all i can say is imagine the China benefactor Biden as President…the man who said last night he will have open borders in our time of crisis our Love in the time of Cholera…what kind of fool is he
the debate really did look like two old men ranting…isn’t it incredible that after all the huffing & puffing this is what the Democratic party has been reduced to??? I would never have believed it…
also Fauci seemed to be biting his tongue a bit today…Dr Deborah Birks seemed more front & center & is a much better spokeperson a this time
GonzoTx, one of the articles published by us nailed it all down at the beginning in an update and at the end of the original article. The indictments against Concord Management were an attempt to destroy the meeting President Trump held with Putin at Helsinki. Most have forgotten why those indictments were made. We don’t forget.

For those of you making light of the virus threat, let me enlighten you to what’s happening here in the NY metro area because the threat is real and people are sick and some are dying.
My son lives in Ct. A couple who are close friends of theirs have the virus. The husband who is in his 40s is in a coma and may not make it. Apparently they had attended a party in Westport. 14 people who attended have contracted the virus.
My young neighbors have left the city with their young children and come out to stay in east Hampton. They have friends and family in Spain and Italy. They know several young people who are very illwith coved 19 and they are very anxious.
My daughter in law sent me some info last night given by a doctor. Take only Tylenol if you have fever or aches and pains. They now think that Ibuprofen etc may make the virus worse. There is a group of affected young people in Cork and all had used the other pain melds. Apparently French TV announced these new findings.
Despite people taking the virus seriously here, we now have about 30 cases from community spread. GOnzo, unlike the flu, people did not have the ability to choose to be vacinated. We are sitting ducks to be randomly exposed to a potential deadly, risk….not a good feeling.
If we can slow the spread of this disease for two weeks while they ramp up testing, it will be well worth it. JB, I have also lost a lot and had much less than you to begin with but I do believe the market will come back in a few months. Meanwhile I can tell you no one is joking about the risk here.
Apparently anti inflammatory pain med like Advil and Aleve suppress the immune system and make an otherwise healthy person susceptible.
Cannot tell the truth. You will be removed. Trish Regan latest victim:
In case you wanted to share w others (this came from a doctor):
We have just been sent a medical alert that no one is to use anti inflammatories (eg brufen, Voltarol, naproxen and there are others) for pain or high temperature. Use Tylenol instead. There seems to be a link between severe cases of covid19 affecting young people with no underlying illnesses and taking anti inflammatories. Initial reports started coming from French Drs on Friday. This has been confirmed by infectious diseases consultants – there are 4 young people in ICU in Cork who have no underlying illnesses – all were taking anti inflammatories and there are concerns this has caused a more severe illness. We have been asked to spread the message. French tv and radio apparently broadcast the same warning today
Not sure if u take any for your aches and pains. But I would disctonue for foreseeable future. This was sent to me and several providers here agree
Optimist
I understand your fears and concerns.
I have a pregnant daughter due in a few weeks so so am
Concerned
Leftist Tim Pool waking up:
FYI…interesting to see what was going on during the O admin 2009 h1n1 pandemic & how unprepared they were & how many people actually died…
none of the extreme precautions taken now were taken then…not saying we should not be proactive simply providing background info particurlarly Trump critics & media…how soon they forget…

Philip Haney’s Death Not a Suicide
DHS whistleblower did not kill himself, say Reps. King and Gohmert.
Tue Mar 17, 2020 Lloyd Billingsley 16
Share to Facebook76Share to TwitterShare to More30Share to Print
Former Department of Homeland Security Whistleblower Philip Haney was found dead in Amador County, California, last month. Early reports said the death was due to a self-inflicted gunshot, but Haney’s friends in Congress say that isn’t so, with the support from a February 24 Coroner’s Investigation Update by the Amador sheriff’s office.
As that report explains “there was misinformation immediately being put out that we have determined Mr. Haney’s death to be a suicide. This is not the case.” Mr. Haney was “located in a park and ride open area immediately adjacent to State Highway 16 near State Highway 124. Highway 16 is a busy state highway and used as a main travel route to and from Sacramento. The location is less than three miles from where he was living,” in the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento.
As Michelle Mears noted in the California Globe, Haney’s relatives and friends did not believe he had killed himself. According to Kerry Picket in the Washington Examiner, Haney was “recently in contact with top officials about returning to work for the DHS.”
As Haney explained in The Hill on May 5, 2016, the Department of Homeland Security ordered him “to delete or modify several hundred records of individuals tied to designated Islamist terror groups like Hamas from the important federal database, the Treasury Enforcement Communications System (TECS).” Haney described the campaign in See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.
The Amador County Sheriff is cooperating with the FBI to analyze “documents, phone records and a lap top that were recovered from the scene and Mr. Haney’s RV.” The sheriff has also obtained “the firearm located at the scene” but has not revealed the type of weapon. A forensic autopsy has been scheduled and as Cheryl Chumley reported in the Washington Times, Haney’s friends in Congress are weighing in.
“I don’t believe that Phil Haney committed suicide.” Rep. King said on the House floor this week. Rep Louis Gohmert, Texas Republican also disbelieved the suicide story. “I’d been concerned about his safety, with all the information he knew and people who could’ve gotten in trouble.” Gohmert and King said Haney carried a thumb drive containing sensitive documents and according to the Washington Times report “that thumb drive is curiously missing.”
Philip Haney worked as a field agricultural entomologist in the Middle East, where he began studying Arabic and the Quran. In a 2016 interview, with Frank Gaffney Haney said Islamic jihadists “always say that Islam is a religion of peace. Because for them, shariah equals peace.” They also leave “scent trails” and Haney proved adept at tracking them.
The mosque that San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook attended was part of the Tablighi Jamaat network and the Obama administration deleted sixty-seven records out of the system that Haney worked on as a component of the Tablighi case. Had those records not been deleted, Haney said, it was plausible that Farook would not have been able to travel to Saudi Arabia, Tashfeen Malik would never been given a visa, “and then we would have stopped the attack.”
The attack was not stopped and on December 2, 2015, Syed Farook and wife Tashfeen Malik murdered 14 people and wounded 22 before being taken down by police. Farook’s mother Syed Rizwan Farook the U.S. Attorney for California’s central district reports, “has agreed to plead guilty to a federal criminal charge of intending to impede a federal criminal investigation by shredding a map her son generated in connection with the attack.”
A man who writes a book exposing U.S. government submission to jihad is bound to have enemies. High on the list of suspects would be Islamic terrorists and those who deny their jihadist cause.
As they investigate the death of Philip Haney, the FBI should take a hard look at every DHS official who blocked him from telling the truth about jihadist networks in the United States. The FBI should also have a long talk with Jeh Johnson, DHS Secretary from 2013-17.
After Haney’s testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2016, Sen. Ted Cruz asked Johnson if Haney’s testimony was accurate. “I have no idea. I don’t know who Mr. Haney is,” Johnson replied. “I wouldn’t know him if he walked into the room.” If federal investigators disbelieve those claims it would be hard to blame them.
Haney said the DHS investigated him nine times and revoked his security clearance. The Department of Justice charged that Haney “misused a government computer,” charges later dropped. The news that Haney might be returning to DHS would not thrill Obama “wing man” Eric Holder, who has been telling reporters looking into DOJ malfeasance to “shut the hell up.”
Meanwhile, reports that DHS whistleblower Philip Haney killed himself amount to misinformation and at this writing the killer is unknown. According to the Amador County Sheriff, “no determination will be made until all evidence is examined and analyzed.”

Dana Bash praises PDT (don’t fall off your chair)
https://www.dailywire.com/news/remarkable-cnn-anchor-praises-trump-on-coronavirus-kind-of-leader-that-people-need
snip
On Tuesday, CNN anchor Dana Bash applauded President Donald Trump on his handling of the China-originated novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, praising Trump as the “kind of leader that people need” in this time of crisis.
After dismissing criticism from media reporter and American neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta, Bash said Trump’s “tone” over the past two days should be applauded on an “American” and “human” level.
“If you look at the big picture, this was remarkable by the President of the United Sates,” Bash stated on CNN airwaves, Tuesday afternoon. “This is a nonpartisan, this is an important thing to note and to applaud, from an American standpoint, from a human standpoint.”
“[Trump] is being the kind of leader that people need, at least in tone, today and yesterday, in tone, that people need and want and yearn for in times of crises and uncertainty,” the anchor added.
CNN has been notably negative with their coverage of Trump, once even attempting to create a scandalous story over the president choosing not one, but two scoops of ice cream for dessert.

The only thing you need to normalize the data to, to do some good modeling, is the population you are considering. They do some of that on https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ . The data we have, except for the lying Chinese, show exponential increases. If we are successful in preventing a disaster, we will not be able to prove it would have occurred. So you can claim to be correct. If we fail, it will be another matter.
The objective of the modeling would be to know how many people are going to need medical care, how soon so you do not overload the healthcare system. The rest of the details are details.
That being said, I do see that many of these activities are politically prioritized. But the hazard is real.
I am not saying whether or not I believe it and there is an “as many as” in the numbers.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/03/17/terrifying-new-research-warns-22-million-could-die-coronavirus-us-without-drastic
‘Terrifying’ New Research Warns 2.2 Million Could Die From Coronavirus in US Without Drastic Action
“Only now is the White House coming out of denial and heading straight into saying it could not have been foreseen.”
An alarming scientific report compiled by British researchers and shared with the Trump White House warns that, in the absence of drastic and coordinated government action, the novel coronavirus could kill as many as 2.2 million people in the United States alone
Yes, I’m noticing that CNN and MSNBC are begrudgingly praising the president.
I’m glad to hear it, but I don’t believe it’s sincere.
The Fake News media realize that, after a few early missteps, President Trump is doing everything he can.
And he is giving the Dems everything they are asking for.
In addition, in a time of perceived national crisis, taking cheap shots at the president is not a good look.

Amazing, considering how senile he is. They would rather have someone with Alzheimer’s than someone who is working his butt off to save us from ourselves
Unbelievable
Well they are willing to blame the Advil, not a peep about the effect of polarized, high power density fields of microwaves and 60 GHz frequencies. No more leaked videos from China, either. Big Tech and Big Telecom in full censorship mode. China just kicked out our so called press but that was supposed to be in retaliation for Trump labeling them with Covid-19.

—————————-
He is over-complicating it. Flatening MAY make things worse? Not likely. Wouldn’t we all like to have perfect data for perfect decisions. It will be too late to do anything by then. You get what you get and we have what we have. And if you want to avoid treating people like pigs who have swine flu, we must do something now. I think it should be protecting people from microwave radiation. But what do I know?
I get videos from people who have seen my reject5G site. I do not understand French, but I think I got a French video is suggesting that the virus is engineered to be triggered by radio-frequencies. This things is some kind of designed technological horror. I think it was just selected to mimic microwave radiation illness and so the compounded effects are what are creating the 5G Covid-19 hot spots. I wonder if the pattern exists for other virus. Who knows? The thing is a bio-weapon.
Here is the video. Maybe someone who knows French can tell me what they are saying.
With the coincidence of 5G Covid-19 hot spots, we should be having a National discussion about our telecommunication system. But that discussion has been SHUT DOWN. As Big Tech openly admits to censorship to keep it from “going viral”. CONTROL THE NARRATIVE is here.
Why do we have a stock market that can be crashed by an infectious disease doctor’s cautions to prevent the spread of that disease?
It’s amazing we have elections going on when ten people aren’t suppose to gather
Feeling like most Republicans won’t bother secondary to that
Dems will be digging up graves for votes
And they vote for a communist without any balls or a Alzheimer’s patient…
Yeah, Americans really are pretty darn stupid, insanely so…
Scary, Steven King scary
Wow, just wow
Before anyone gets the idea that the media is going soft on PDT take a look at this outrageous proposition from this idiot glenn kischner at MSNBC…he wants to use the coronavirus to prosecute PDT for MURDER…and MSNBC allows this BS to be spoken on their channel…
this is beyond any sense of decency….
https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/17/msnbc-glenn-kirschner-coronavirus-prosecute-trump-murder/
MSNBC Analyst Glenn Kirschner suggested Tuesday that he would attempt to prosecute President Donald Trump for negligent homicide over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Kirschner laid out his explanation in a series of tweets, first claiming that the president “may have criminal exposure for some level of negligent homicide or voluntary/involuntary manslaughter for the way he’s mishandled the Coronavirus crisis.” (RELATED: MSNBC Analyst Accuses Fox News Of ‘Getting People Killed For Years’)
He went on to tout his own career as a prosecutor, saying that he had always been “on the lookout for novel ways to apply homicide … liability in an attempt to appropriately and ethically hold accountable those who were responsible for taking the life of a fellow human being.”
Kirschner concluded by accusing Trump of “negligent/grossly negligent (and/or possibly intentional) mishandling” of the response to coronavirus and claiming that the issue was “thorny” and “nuanced” but that all possible “criminal charges will have to be investigated.”

Thunderdome 2020 Begins – Philadelphia Police Will Not Arrest for Burglary or Theft Due to Coronavirus…
As an outcome of short-sighted coronavirus issues, the Philadelphia police department has announced they will no longer be arresting suspects for retail theft, auto theft, burglary, narcotics or other “non violent” offenses. Instead they will write tickets, release the suspects and address the criminality later on. Now watch what happens.
Gonzo, in 1991 city of New York decided they would settle any lawsuit against the city which was in less than $5 k. Suddenly, they were deluged with lawsuits demanding a penny less than $ 5k. Whereupon the mayor came to the top law firms in the city, and asked them to bail them out pro bono, which they did. The firm I did business with for many years, Morgan Lewis, a main line Philadelphia firm with an office on Park Avenue was one of the firms recruited for that task. Through great effort, and the withdrawal of a policy which invited the moral hazard, the situation was finally brought under control. The withdrawal of police protection from victims of property crimes will have a similar effect. It will invite more crime, and when victims resist it will turn violent, and then, being good progressives, the Soros funded district attorney who initiated this flawed policy can prosecute the victim if the thief is injured. And if the victim is white and the victim is not, then he can get a two fer by calling it a hate crime, and an ideologically corrupted twisted Obama judge will agree.
If you think I am kidding about those Obama judges, I commend to your attention that perverse behavior of District Judge Amy Berman Jackson who imposed draconian sanctions and sentences on purely political grounds, when moderation would be the norm. She and her Obama confederates are the negation of the rule of law. They are as Kim Strassel notes in her book, part of the so called resistance, whose sole mission in life is to take down Trump. These are the same judges who have thwarted efforts to protect our borders, and if this corona virus takes a toll, then these judges will in due course bear a heavy responsibility for that tragedy. As some wag observed if you study every crisis this country has had, you will find a Harvard graduate in the middle of it. The only edit I would make to that comment is a Harvard graduate appointed by the corrupt Soros puppet Messiah Obama who enriched the political class, and impoverished middle America.
JB: this is from my friend David Horowitz:
The Times of Israel
Dear Times of Israel Community members, and all Times of Israel Daily Edition readers,
As those many of you who have joined the ToI Community in recent months know, we send out a Community update email every week, with exclusive content, some offers, and a little bit of musing from the editor. This week, as a one-off, we’re making that update available to our entire six-figure mailing list who have signed up to ToI’s Daily Edition over the past eight years. Welcome to all.
We’re living in extraordinary times, facing a pandemic that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has likened to the Spanish Flu of 1918. The battle to contain the coronavirus sees Israel moving ever-closer to a full mandatory lockdown; the US has drastically ratcheted up its effort to prevent the spread of contagion in recent days; and Britain, which had held back, has now moved into full crisis mode as well.
But as I wrote in a piece earlier this week, assessments and predictions of how devastating this virus will ultimately prove range from the near-apocalyptic to the relatively sanguine. The virus, an eminent Israeli scientist told me yesterday, is 80% identical to SARS Coronavirus-1, which came and went in 2002-3, killing “just” 774 people worldwide. That should be reassuring. Except that no vaccine was ever found for SARS Coronavirus-1, and the current SARS Coronavirus-2 has already proved more fatal.
This transmission electron microscope image shows SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, isolated from a patient in the US, emerging from the surface of cells cultured in the lab. (NIAID-RML / Wikipedia)
Here at ToI, our reporters are trying to make sense of the crisis, to keep you updated about Israeli and global efforts to tackle it, to keep you informed about the steps and precautions you ought to take, to tell you what’s available if you’re confined to your homes, to edit a deluge of remarkable blog posts… and a whole lot more. (These are just three poignant blog posts of so many in recent days that you might want to look at: Underwear for a month, by Sally Berkovic; Back to the sources, by David Golinkin; and Dreaming in the time of Corona, by Haviva Ner-David.)
This being Israel, we’re also still in the midst of political uncertainty and recrimination, with the rival claimants to the prime ministership accusing each other of exploiting the virus crisis to destroy our democracy, evade prosecution, pursue narrow political gain at the expense of the national interest…
The Times of Israel newsroom, pictured in normal times
In truth, “Here at ToI” is a bit of a fluid concept right now: When they have to be, our reporters are out and about, but much of their work, and much of our editing work, is being done from home as opposed to the newsroom. We’ve kept our office open in Jerusalem, but we’re staying well below the 10-people together limit, and making sure staffers are a minimum two-meters apart as required. Two members of our staff (to date) are in self-quarantine; plenty of others are juggling work and that other part of their lives that includes the kids being home from school — the new reality that’s changing everybody’s lives.
Amid all the uncertainty, I’ll leave with you with what amount to words of relative comfort from that aforementioned eminent scientist, Hebrew University professor of Structural Biochemistry Shy Arkin: “This is not going to kill humanity. This is a disease that mostly afflicts the elderly, not that one does not care about the elderly. But to people that are not classified as elderly, this generates a respiratory tract infection that is not very severe, and most people have very mild symptoms… You’re not going to see millions upon millions of people dying. That’s not going to take place.”
Or, to put it another way, sooner or later, this too shall pass.

Can you, in your wildest dreams, imagine Messiah Obama handling this crisis. The questions from the big media whores would be very different. They would be prefaced with adulation like, we in your loyal slobbering lying press corp know that you, Messiah Obama, are doing everything possible to contain this crisis and the only reason we are here is to give you a blow job. This, while Messiah Obama reads from his teleprompter.
Can you imagine Joe Biden handling this? Can you??
No

President Trump must be laughing at his complete and total victory on the issue of borders:
https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-and-polls/majority-of-people-want-borders-closed-as-fear-about-covid19-escalates
Even though we don’t trust these polls it is clear that President Trump has won the battle over the importance of control of a nation’s borders. It is also clear that the nation state is back and globalism has taken a big hit. The left will fight against this but President Trump is undeniably completely in control of these issues now.

.Tucker Carlson defended Donald Trump during his Fox News show Tuesday night
.The president has been accused of promoting racist rhetoric against Asians by .referring to coronavirus as ‘the Chinese virus’ multiple times on Twitter this week
Addressing the backlash, Carlson said:
‘How is it inaccurate to call a virus from China “Chinese?”‘
He then played a clip of Trump dismissing criticisms at a press conference
‘I have to call it where it came from. It came from China,’ Trump told reporters
Carlson stated at the clip’s conclusion: ‘That was Trump at his very best’

I dare you
A large health threat was tuberculosis, which 34,000 people died from in 1950. Also, the deadly flu epidemic of 1957 killed 62,000. By contrast, 3200 people died during 1952, the worst year of the polio epidemic, but nearly 30,000 children were paralyzed.

CNBC just reported JPMorgan expects GDP to contract 4% in Q1 and a mind blowing 14% in Q2. During the financial crisis, real GDP was off about 4.3% from peak to trough.
https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/great_recession_of_200709
If they are right, there is no amount of stimulus that will prevent a massive wave of layoffs and bankruptcies. Which of course is setting off new jitters in banking and credit markets.
Social unrest unlike anything we’ve seen in modern history seems possible to me if JPMorgan’s forecasts are remotely close to accurate. No wonder gun and ammo sales are soaring. We’re facing an economic catastrophe that will make the financial crisis look rosy be comparison.
Yeah, they can’t wait to produce any crap to make Trump
And our economy look bad
Destroy the majority of Americans, no problem, they have wanted to do that for a hundred years
If you look above and the germs and viruses we had to deal with just in the 50’s and life DID NOT STOP

Dr. Smirk finally admitted testing supplies are being funneled to “priority” coastal cities while “flyover country” did not receive the promised testing supplies and are completely unable to process any tests. Not even healthcare professional can be tested.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The state of South Dakota can’t test any more people for COVID-19 because of a shortage of tests, the South Dakota Department of Health Laboratory announced Wednesday.
The SDPHL said it was able to run tests for medium and high risk patients on Monday, March 16, but the expected additional supplies did not arrive. The agency said there is “no timeframe” for when the supplies will be available from the CDC and commercial suppliers.

I had no idea but earlier this month there was a massive TRUMP BOAT PARADE in Lighthouse Point/Pompano Beach Florida complete with all kinds of boats & yachts…from what I understand it started in FT Lauderdale & went up to Palm Beach
Take a few moments to relax & enjoy…WOW!
Confirmed cases doubled in Florida from yesterday. I had to go to the Service Center to get my drivers license the 8 year renewal. I have been dreading it. All the center are in close proximity to cell towers. I wore my jacket and wi-fi hoodie inside and I took out my EMF meter to check the area inside, that was not too bad. But people who have to wait outside get fired. I went when the line was minimal and fried less than 5 minutes. When I got in, the center was well run and no one was in a panic. I joked with my clerk about coughers. She was a young woman and did not have much concern, touching her face several times during our transactions.
The state and the county here appear to be staying in business. They have offered Telecommuting to people with health problems and over 60 so I think I will apply and maybe try to work one day a week that way. Most of my work requires I be at the office.
Someone suggested we grow “Victory gardens”, it makes me think of mechelle not WW2, but that being said
I have tried to grow veggies for several

At a cost of probably $100.
My sister could grow anything, of course she had good Wisconsin soul but last I saw people in Texas were growing gardens… just not me
Outris, you know it’s worse than these numbers from Axios claim:
https://www.axios.com/media-public-trust-coronavirus-da69dd7f-4b8a-4793-ac52-dc1ed2c3e35f.html
That “why it matters” section is delusional. It demonstrates Big Media cannot be trusted for anything… not even the weather.
We remember the “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq which made the crazy Bush war happen. Big Media, including especially Fox News, pushed for the Iraq War. Now it’s the CoronaVirus series of lies and the protection of Communist China.
Just lots of panic and misinformation throwing us into a depression. Hope everyone is doing the best they can,
so true, part of us believe we are getting played big time & the plot includes destroying the USA & our economy especially when you review what went on with the H1N1 virus during Obama’s time…everything was worse than this, no medicine, he was very late to do anything, many more deaths but no shutdowns, no media harassment..
.so how did we go from that to this?
where the USA is almost on its knees & all the wealth PDT created is almost wiped away in 3 weeks…unemployment climbing when we are allowed out of our homes, etc
surreal & suspicious
oh and the US media defending China…oh…didn’t they do that recently when Hong Kong was protesting & the NBA went all pro China…hmm
Here is Florida where the cases doubled from yesterday to 328, we find 48% of them in the counties surrounding Miami (Broward % Miami-Dade) where 5G was deployed with priority for the 5G Super Bowl of 2020.

Needless to say, being in the county next to that, I am not so prepared to believe it is a faux threat. It may be manufactured, but it looks all to real to me. And as I work with the people who are putting their welfare on the lines in the clinics and doing the epidemiology, I will tell you that the last thing they deserve to be called are liars.
https://covidtracking.com/
This website has the most up to date information about the testing in US.
The # of testing increased substantially in the last few days. Currently only people with symptoms or suspected to have Covid 19 are tested with doctors’ prescription. The positive rate among this group is not even that high. So I am confident once more people are tested in the coming days, things will calm down. The worst is the unknown and I think the worst is almost over. Everyone be safe!
It’s amazing how many American born citizens could sell out our Country, a Country that has given them the freedom found no where else in this world, where over a million men and women, who have died to persevere that freedom for generations to come, just to turn around and sell it for 30 pieces of silver to the Devil incarnate…China
No one is calling front line workers liars, what some are saying, me included, statically and comparatively, it doesn’t add up to destroying our economy and millions upon millions of people’s businesses, jobs and retirements.
I’ve started over twice, I don’t have the time nor money to do it a third time personally.
That said, if there is something HUGE “they” are not telling us, now is the time..
Agree Gonz..it makes no sense. We are destroying the foundations of our social and economic systems and while any death from this is horrific, the death count has not reached numbers that warrant what we are seeing unless we are missing something?
Please, no hysterics, no tears, no shock, no shaking of limbs, no suicidal thoughts, no non-stop laughter:
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/bill-weld-says-hes-suspending-bid-for-republican-presidential-nomination-2020-03-18
Who knew this cuck was still alive?
The Chinese Virology Lab was no doubt working on horrors that are linked to their microwave horrors and people are being killed. Our government is complicit in the mess and nobody knows who to trust. Except everybody knows we cannot trust the press.
The stock market is more fake than the Covid-19 data out of China and certainly more fake that the data from countries who have less to hide. And none of that is good news.
So wash me down in disinfectant and wrap me in tin foil, I will be only too happy to be quarantined, but I do not think I am going to get off that easy.
It is so far a very interesting election year.

Hello lindax,
The State of Florida is showing 20% positive in their testing.
https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429
We have been hearing the positive rate on these tests are low but that is not what we are seeing right now.

The Atlantic mag is owned by no other than Steve Jobs widow…. They are a major contributor to the site you posted
Many negative articles regarding the Government or Trumps response listed
I’ve learned from experience not to Trust …
The Internet was a boom to us when it first appeared as
the so-called information hi-way.
I have a question.
THE EDITED VERSION OF TODAY’S “THE NATIONAL EMERGENCIES ACT”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Emergencies_Act
WHY ALL THESE REVISIONS TO THE NATIONAL EMERGENCIES ACT THIS MONTH?
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Emergencies_Act&action=history
Looks like someone’s been burning the midnight editing oil. WHY?
Trump needs to find an earlier version…
In case the Dems have set a another TRAP for him!
Can’t TRUST what has been taken
out or changed by a nefarious (D) zealot.
Where is Joe DiGenova when you need him?
The Dems are trying to limit what he can do during an emergency
Joe DiGenova has disappeared along with his constant praise of Barr and how “they” were all going to get indicted “Very soon”
My youngest (14) child’s 529 went down from 495k to 313k…I guess she will not be going to a private university.
Both Zerohedge and the Epoch Times are advertising 5G Stocks and not reporting on the connection to the illness, death and market crash of the failure of the old world order. The level of censorship is amazing. People are not talking about the radiation, they are fighting over toilet paper. And some of those frequencies they are being inundated with can really feed that insanity.
I suspect I already had Covid-19 a month or so ago. I was not feeling well but it really did not break out until I had to go out in the community where I was exposed to high levels of microwave radiation. It was like having a bad flu and it dragged on for way longer than reasonable. And a lot of people where I work were sick with it.
I sure hope Trump can fight his way through this and get us something better. I want to get behind him but it is hard to tell where he is going with snakes all around him. He is in the pit with them, how can we hand him a stick?
They expect a lot of positives when they begin testing in a hot spot. But they have been encouraged that there are less positives than they expected. Those who are positive will be quarantined and that will greatly reduce the community spread. Everyone needs to chill a bit during this 15 day period.
FYI for those encountering empty shelves in the grocery store. Go to a local market…not a major chain. The markets are getting deliveries every day. Apparently the major chain stores have distribution centers which get the goods and then distribute them in their own trucks which adds more layers to the delivery chain.
JB…sit tight…the market will rise again before she goes to college
Lu4PUMA,
The numbers from Johns Hopkins you quoted are the same as the covidtracking.com. The data is correct. The covidtracking website is just a bit easier to visualize.
Optimist: here is a perspective more in line with your thinking. It is from one of the top teams at Merrill Lynch. I no longer have them, but I am still on the mailing list. It claims that there is actually a corona virus contraction, thinks Q-2 will be bad but a stock market recovery will occur later in the year. I hope that is true for a lot of reasons, chief among them being the November election. The media believes they have the issue to defeat Trump, having failed in all their prior attempts. A robust recovery will not stop their attacks but will make them appear to be hoaxes.
https://www.ftportfolios.com/Commentary/EconomicResearch/2020/3/17/coronavirus-contraction
For those of you who are feeling bad about the loss of value in your portfolio, all I can tell you is silver and gold have gone though a similar decline, when they were supposed to be the hedge. Strangest of all is the silver spot price is now 12 from a high of 18, which is understandable if you regard silver as an industrial metal rather than a precious metal, and being an industrial metal would decline in tandum with a decline in the decline in industrial activity we are seeing now. But here is the stange part: the futures for silver is higher than it has ever been, which is a bullish signal, that suggests artificial manipulation of the spot price. This is a well known phenonmenon among metal traders, and the central bankers are the root of it. If pure supply and demand principles were applied, then gold and silver would both be through the roof, rather than where they are now, which is in the cellar. The FED is about to print a lot of money to keep the economy from failing, and that is a harbinger of future inflation.

Well this isn’t going to help
Chaos in testing centers, centers abruptly closed due to lack of kits, protective clothing for testers and chemicals to run the tests
Trumps/Pence daily briefings shouldn’t say “we’ll have testing centers within a week” and not be prepared
So instead of testing they are recommending “social distancing”
Geez, you can’t make this up.
They are blaming the Federal government, ie Trump, and at this point it’s seems like our response is not up to our standards

Here’s the problem and the solution, will Trump wake up in time
Let’s look at Olfert Landt, who owns a small-Berlin company:
Founder of a small Berlin-based company, the ponytailed 54-year-old first raced to help German researchers come up with a diagnostic test and then spurred his company to produce and ship more than 1.4 million tests by the end of February for the World Health Organization.
“My wife and I have been working 16 hours a day, seven days a week, ever since,” Landt said by phone about 1 a.m. Friday, Berlin time. “Our days are full.”
By contrast, over the same critical period, U.S. efforts to distribute tests ground nearly to a halt, and the country’s inability to produce them left public health officials with limited means to determine where and how fast the virus was spreading. From mid-January until Feb. 28, fewer than 4,000 tests from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used out of more 160,000 produced.
Landt said that the U.S. has at least ten companies that could have done what his company did to combat the virus. In other words, the U.S. should embrace the private companies to help in these situations.
Also, why not all the time?
The coronavirus has spread through the U.S. for weeks. Yet, the FDA only approved Roche and Thermo Fisher last week to produce tests.
a few things…
NBC/MSNBC is full throttle in defense of China; Richard Haas pushing how China is getting good vibes for helping while US isn’t
however I see a lot on Twitter & other articles saying the opposite; China’s brand going to take a big hit; they threatened withholding medical supplies to us, they lied about our soldiers, their own doctors & people died because of their lies & the world has suffered; many businesses will pull out & go elsewhere or back to USA because China cannot be trusted
some really good news…
GM, Ford & Tesla offering to make ventilators…getting on board with the war on Coronavirus like during WW 2 and Carnival Cruise offering to become a hospital…
Honeywell in little Rhode Island planning on making masks for the WH
that is all inspiring & uplifting…
this Hydroxychloroquine sounds very promising…hopefully will get into regular usage very soon
the Trump haters are very stubborn people, even if there is good news or the people are rallying around the country & the President, these people will not budge, they are stuck on “he lies” “he ignored the problem” “he called it a hoax” “he didn’t act fast enough”…they will not accept one pinch of positive news…they are routing for the country to fail so they can prove their point
today’s monsters are Rick Wilson & Glenn Kirshner…they are getting major pushback, Wilson already trying to walk back that he wished Melania would get the virus…funny, both are CNN & MSNBC spokespeople
JB…good advice to you from Optimist
and finally President Trump kicked butt in today’s presser…loved when he shut up the woman from NBC when she asked why he didn’t take the virus seriously & then got his opening from the woman from OANN & let the media have it…
the best line of the day was when he said “I should limit this room to10…you are all sitting too close to each other”
there are hundreds of people on twitter agreeing with that
Very very sad
Coronavirus Ravages 7 Members of a Single Family, Killing 3
The matriarch of the large New Jersey family died Wednesday night without ever knowing that her two oldest children had died before her.
Grace Fusco, center, and her 11 children in a family photo.
By Tracey Tully
March 18, 2020
Grace Fusco — mother of 11, grandmother of 27 — would sit in the same pew at church each Sunday, surrounded by nearly a dozen members of her sprawling Italian-American family. Sunday dinners drew an even larger crowd to her home in central New Jersey.
THE LATEST
Read our live coverage of the coronavirus outbreak in the New York area.
Now, her close-knit clan is united anew by unspeakable grief: Mrs. Fusco, 73, died on Wednesday night after contracting the coronavirus — hours after her son died from the virus and five days after her daughter’s death, a relative said.
Four other children who contracted coronavirus remain hospitalized, three of them in critical condition, the relative, Roseann Paradiso Fodera, said.
Mrs. Fusco’s eldest child, Rita Fusco-Jackson, 55, of Freehold, N.J., died Friday; after her death, the family learned she had contracted the virus. Her eldest son, Carmine Fusco, of Bath, Pa., died on Wednesday, said Ms. Paradiso Fodera, the family’s lawyer who is Mrs. Fusco’s cousin and is serving as a spokeswoman.
Mrs. Fusco, of Freehold, died after spending Wednesday “gravely ill” and breathing with help from a ventilator, unaware that her two oldest children had died, Ms. Paradiso Fodera said.
Nearly 20 other relatives are quarantined at their homes, awaiting test results and praying in isolation, unable to join together to mourn their deep collective loss. Friends are doing what they can from afar.
“If they’re not on a respirator, they’re quarantined,” Ms. Paradiso Fodera said.
“It is so pitiful,” she added. “They can’t even mourn the way you would.”
Ms. Fusco, with her son, Carmine Fusco, who died on Wednesday after contracting coronavirus. She died hours later.
As of Wednesday afternoon, five New Jersey residents had died after contracting the virus, which has infected at least 427 people statewide. Nationwide, at least 7,047 people across every state, plus Washington, D.C., and three U.S. territories, have tested positive for coronavirus, and at least 121 have died, according to a New York Times database.
But the virus’s devastating toll on a single family is considered as rare as it is perplexing.
“They’re young and they don’t have any underlying conditions,” Ms. Paradiso Fodera said.
Mrs. Fusco and four of her children were being treated at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold, about an hour south of Manhattan, relatives said. Mr. Fusco died at a Pennsylvania hospital near his home, Ms. Paradiso Fodera said.
The family has deep ties to the horse-racing industry near Freehold Raceway. Some trained horses. Others raced them. The children’s father, Vincenzo L. Fusco, did both, according to his obituary.
A person who had contact with a man who died in New Jersey on March 10, becoming the state’s first coronavirus-related fatality, had attended a recent Fusco family gathering, the state’s health commissioner, Judith M. Persichilli, has said.
The first New Jersey man to die has been identified by a close friend and the harness track where he worked, Yonkers Raceway, as John Brennan.
Ms. Paradiso Fodera said the gathering was a routine Tuesday dinner.
“A party to most people was a regular dinner to them,” she said before counting names on a family tree that listed 27 grandchildren.
The gathering on March 3 is believed to be the source of the virus, and information about the number of people infected there led to a new intensity in Ms. Persichilli’s warnings over the weekend against even small get-togethers with friends or relatives.
He said the lengthy turnaround time for test results leaves patients in the dark and burdens the hospital’s limited resources. Patients who might ultimately test negative for coronavirus, and be healthy enough to leave the hospital, are instead being kept in isolation.
If tests were returned more quickly, more patients could be discharged.
“That opens up beds,” Dr. Matera said. “It lowers the anxiety of the staff.”
Ms. Fusco-Jackson’s relatives also believe that speedier test results could have made a difference in her care.
“They didn’t treat her as a confirmed case because everything is so delayed,” Ms. Paradiso Fodera said. “It’s a big bureaucracy. The testing result time is important.”
gonzo, I thought Dr Birx said they rejected those tests because there were many false positives & she has been explaining that a new test has been devised that can be administered so that it can be ? analyzed on many more platforms ?? for thousands & the old test could not??
I am not in medical profession as you are but Birx seemed to explain that issue, I can’t very well…
Dr Birx is going to be on Special Report with Bret Beir tonight maybe she will explain better
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARE NOT GETTING THOSE TESTS KITS OUT
This is American people!!!
Trump get those kits out! Your Presidency and re election depends on it, but most important the American people need these test kits!
Well Germany didn’t seem to have a problem with them, but I don’t know all I know is SK others have been able to test and we have not
this is all i could find for now

Yeah that’s from the 13th S
the other woman that appears at the pressers I think she might be from FEMA, the shorter lady with dark hair was just on fox with Hemmer
She said more & more tests are getting out & they are getting responses/results & they know that because the numbers are going up as expected, she said things are improving & they are doing better with allocation of tests but still not where they want to be
I will try to catch birx at 6 pm
More deaths in Italy than China of the Wuhan virus as of today
If you believe that
He gads tabby is supporting mr Alzheimer’s
Hope that puts her in perspective for you Wbb
Mr Alzheimer’s will “unit” the country that she alluded that Trump has divided
Lol lol lol
She’s nuttier than I thought
Italy has the real data. China’s data cannot be trusted, even though the media accepted that.
No way I believe China
Actually believe they were burning bodies at an alarming rate
I don’t understand why folks are obsessing about the tests.
Just another way to blame Trump, I guess.
I wish they would stop. It’s not helping.
There will be plenty of time for finger pointing after this is all over.
Suppose you have symptoms, take a test, and it comes out positive.
What will you do with that information?
There is no cure for this disease (yet).
If you develop symptoms, just stay at home. (You should be doing that anyway.)
If you have trouble breathing, go the hospital.
Just like you would do for any other illness that causes pneumonia-like symptoms.
They will test you at the hospital, for what it’s worth.
Until then, don’t worry about it.
Because Matthew there are drugs out there that can help and one would quarantine so maybe you can save your loved ones.
Look at that NJ family that someone brought the virus to the dinner
3 are now dead. Pretty sure if that guy had been tested he probably wouldn’t have gone and those people most likely would be alive.
They aren’t testing people that’s the problem. They sent what they had to the coasts where it was worst, probably a good decision, but there are not any of few kits for the vast amount of America and that is just ridiculous in this Country

Wbb and Carlson, looks do matter I guess, you were both smitten.
“Announcement – “[T]oday, I’m suspending my presidential campaign, and offering my full support to Vice President Joe Biden in his quest to bring our country together.”
I will continue to advocate for a 21st century foreign policy. One based on mutual respect and cooperation instead of confrontation, where we as a community of nations can work together to overcome the challenges that our people face — preventing and stopping pandemics like the coronavirus that is now affecting all of us, tackling climate change, combating terrorism, and removing the existential threat of nuclear war which hangs over the heads of all of us.
[…] “I want to extend my best wishes to my friends Senator Bernie Sanders, his wife Jane, Nina Turner and their many supporters for the work they’ve done. I have a great appreciation for Senator Sanders’ love for our country and the American people and his sincere desire to improve the lives of all Americans.” (link)
Yeah, Biden is so kind “you horse faced pony soldier liar”!

I have seen articles about exactly that. The Chinese scientists have identified two strains, one more virulent than the other. Getting one does not mean you cannot get both. I believe I read there was one case of a woman who had both.

There are claims that Covid-19 is contagious before there are symptoms.
Looks like the Demon Decon Senator (R-Nc) Richard Burr has betrayed the country—just like his ancestor Aron Burr, who shot and killed Alexander in a duel, and plotted to take over the country.
What did the demon deacon do?
In his capacity as Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he had advance notice of the lethal nature of the corona virus.
What did the lying prick do with that information?
He assured the American People that the corona virus was not a threat to this country, but privately sold his extensive portfolio of hotels, cruise ships etc. which would bear the brunt of the lethal virus.
The treason gene runs in his dna.
As you may recall, he was also the chairman who deferred to his rabid democrat counterpart who was trying to hang Trump and had his own dealings with unsavory characters.
Dana Ashlie’s 5G Covid-19 video broke a million views, even with intense censorship.
I am convinced that I had Covid-19 the last week of January. I got it from a guy at work who got it from his sister. A bunch of people at work had it. He had told me his wife worked for a doctors office and the doctor said it was the regular flu, but I asked him again about it and he said he only heard it was the doctors opinion. No testing.
Well it was not the regular flu. I had fever and sweats for 6 nights, which I never have had in my life more than 3. And it was stubborn about trying to come back. I guess it was the moderate strain. I hope I do not run across the other.
Correction: Alexander HAMILTON.
Tucker Carlson said the Demon Deacon should resign and be prosecuted for insider trading.
Unfortunately, congress is exempt from insider trading regulations.
Pelosi has been one of the worst offenders, making millions through insider trading.
She has a house on Pacific Heights, the most exclusive hill in San Francisco, and not too far from the madding crowds, i.e. homeless.
To pay the taxes on that Taj Mahal estate it is a moral imperative that the imperious Poopsie must have the means, whether by hook or crook.

And immune to charges of insider trading… that absolutely must be repealed absolutely!
Politicians should self imprison.

So according to NYC and Philadelphia, you may be arrested if you open your restaurant today, but you’ll be fine if you break into that restaurant and shoplift some goods. Seems smart.
This is why I love this Man

I think a lot of people are thinking about President Trump in the FDR mode…
I know I have been thinking of him as a cross between Teddy Roosevelt because of his bluntness & also FDR because of his communication & organization strengths…
Ironically today my nephew texted me a photo of him & his 7 month yr old son who is the spitting image of him and he said without any prompting from me:
“Our grandparents listened to FDR fireside chats on the radio. Gregory (his son) listens to PDT press conferences on Alexa”
****************************
I have mentioned this nephew before, he graduated from Yale & was a diehard Obama supporter way back when I was a Hillary supporter…we debated endlessly…didn’t see him for a couple of years…
fast forward the families all met up in Naples, Fla for my niece’s wedding…all of us diehard Dems…and slowly but surely we all let it slip out gingerly that we left the Dem party…and we all had a great laugh when we discovered we had all independently voted for Donald Trump…the moms, Dads, kids, aunts, uncles…all of us without each other knowing…
Now the whole family are fiercely Trump supporters…
Have to go to doctors office tomorrow am as they won’t call in my Rx as they are controlled substances.The avg. age at that office is about 77 and I am a “kid” at 57. I am not happy about this but need my meds. I should not have dropped MDVIP but it was getting very expensive and I only used it to get Rx’s.
By the way, Tom Friedman makes me sick.
did any of you happen to catch this or see it on twitter…too much
https://www.dailywire.com/news/obamas-top-fema-official-storms-off-msnbc-i-dont-have-time-for-bullst-people
Yes S I read that and saw the video it’s hilarious. I wish I had seen the entire conversation before he tore off the mic, walked off and said “bullshit”
Put a mask on JB and if 77 y/o’s are still working maybe you shouldn’t feel so inconvenienced.
Pain meds are hard to come by, at least your Dr is willing to write you a Rx
I tried to get Tussix a cough med with a narcotic and you would have thought I shot my Dr he freaked out.
I only broke two ribs coughing, but I guess I’m suppose to shut up and deal with it buttercup…
more of the conversation is in that article, he was saying that the Governors have to do their part & they can’t just sit back & wait for the Federal govt to do anything & then other man with the dark hair started contradicting him & saying what the former (O) Fema guy was saying wasn’t helpful, etc & he just barged off the set saying I don’t have to listen to these BS people….
we need a good laugh
Governors can’t wait for the federal govt to do everything
The FEMA official walked off after another Obama official spoke. The Obama official that was spouting bullshit? Andy Slavitt, the guy John Nolte at Breitbart has been relying on for his nonsense articles about CoronaVirus which we have attacked for the bullshit they are.
thanks for the clarification Admin, I can’t watch MSNBC but did catch that clip on twitter…
speaking of twitter, evidently CNN had Sean Penn on as some sort of expert re the virus & honestly I have not laughed so hard in years while reading the comments on twitter… they demolished him, I can’t watch CNN either so I didn’t see him
on last thing…there is a video clip on twitter, Andrew Pollack posted it & maybe others too
it is of the open markets in China & they are beyond disgusting; they have innocent dogs & cats in cages waiting to be cooked alive, they have cooked rats on a stick, they have large snakes to be cooked, they have what look like cooked or charred bat wings
and the market is packed with people buying sliced dog parts & animals that look like they were roasted on a pit
the place must be loaded with bacteria & disease
One person commented that they have an annual Dog Festival in southern China every year where it is very common to eat dishes with dogmeat
How our freaking media has the gall to call PDT a racist for calling this virus the Chinese virus is appalling; it is amazing more diseases aren’t coming out of China; although one commenter said SARS was ground zero in Guangdong where the Dog Festival was in 2003
it is so heartbreaking & sickening…these poor innocent cats & dogs…so afraid in the cages waiting to be cooked alive

I couldn’t look at that video from the Chinese market, I’ve seen the cages and animals before
Jesus, it’s a big freaking country, so do they not have grasslands where cows can graze? Chickens don’t take a lot to raise, dish on their coastlines.
It’s so inhumane, it’s one thing to eat whatever you have to because you are starving, literally starving, but these people have access to fish markets and such.
They also are responsible for the elimination of entire species for freaking ivory.
I’m sorry, these people are weird, and their culture is evil in so many respects. Not different, oh yes different, but evil…
Blink and you may not see it . . . but hell just froze over . . .

Ilhan Omar Lauds Trump’s ‘Incredible’ Response to Coronavirus — ‘Unprecedented Leadership’
Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is offering rare praise for President Donald Trump’s leadership, calling his response to the coronavirus outbreak “incredible.”
“Politics aside, this is incredible and the right response in this critical time,” Omar, a member of the progressive “Squad,” wrote Wednesday evening in response to a list of Trump’s actions in response to the virus and its devastating economic impact. Those actions, shared by the Intercept’s Lee Fang, include “suspending mortgage foreclosures” and “demanding cash payments to Americans.”
Gonzo,
It’s appalling, disgusting and heartbreaking. I stopped watching the olympics in s. Korea when I learned they served dog meat in restaurants.
These are third world barbaric countries as far as I’m concerned.
Our animal rescure group here occasionally rescues dogs from the Chinese meat trade.
Sadly the rescue operations around the country are grinding to a halt because of covid19. Innocent pu.ppies and dogs are dying here because of this. My business has also ground to a halt. There’s no point in working right now so I’m cleaning out my closets and basement. I need to feel productive. I really hope they ease up at the end of the 15 day period and offer new, different guidelines to deal with this.

Over here dogs are treated as a member of the family.
Over here this is viewed as cannibalism.
Except for the far left, and big media, who defend everything China does.
The last CNN episode on how China is saving the world be sending out pharmaesuticals
The ABC white house correspondent,m who parroted Chinese propaganda that is was racist to call a virus that emanated in a lab in Wuhan China, a Chinese virus.
The RINO contributor Rick Wilson who is a regular on CNN who wished the virus on the first lady
The NYT who called this the Trump virus.
Untermenchen like these would never question Chinese culture which eats dogs, unless they happened to be poodles—like them.
This shut down of all businesses is asinine. There are many businesses that can function with very little personal interaction…..like landscapers and contractors. PA has now done the same. How will goods be produced and delivered to markets???
I had a small wholesale print order to ship yesterday and went to the store to ship it. It’s a small business. The employees were wearing gloves as was I. They had a sign on the door asking customers to respect the social distancing guideline. Only myself and one other customer were in the store at the same time so I don’t see why we can’t continue to function while taking precautions.
The rescue group shelters are making appointments for prospective adopters and bringing the animals outside to them, doing paperwork and processing over the phone or Internet. Life must go on. We can’t go on with these heinous restrictions for months.
I think the center will not hold with many more restrictions,2 more weeks will be the limit
Wbb,
Rest stops where truckers sleep have been closed by these short sighted Govs and where do they think these guys were going to do without bathrooms? They wouldn’t open the bathrooms but put out porta potties, which get disgusting pretty darn fast. Also the truck stop restaurants where they eat are closed. You wonder why shelves are empty?
Admin: this story is just out:
Two Republican senators were caught selling off millions of dollars worth of stocks shortly after a closed-door Senate-only meeting forecasting the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the Daily Beast reported Thursday.
Republican Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler sold roughly $3.1 million in stocks she jointly held with her husband between January 24 and February 14, just before the disease put the stock market into freefall. Her colleague and fellow Republican North Carolina Senator Richard Burr sold off roughly $1.5 million of his own stocks in February as well, shortly before hosting a private meeting with wealthy constituents where he detailed to them the potential impacts of the virus, according to NPR.
https://dailycaller.com/2020/03/19/loeffler-burr-senator-sell-stocks-coronavirus/
————
I do not care what the excuses are.
Both of them need to step down.
At a time of crisis, there is no way of living with this.
Selling stock based on insider information, and painting a rosy picture of the virus, while privately warning donors is a cardinal sin.
The RNC needs to get on the ball here, or they will lose two critical senate seats.
Burr needs to resign and Meadows needs to replace him. Burr, a former lawn mower salesman and Demon Deacon (Wake Forrest) is chairman of the intel committee in name only. The power is with the minority leader, who is a traitor, and in spite of which the Deacon routinely defers to him in most matters including the impeachment efforts aimed at the president of his own party. The Deacon has already announced that he plans to hang up his spurs in 2022. He needs to do so now!
Lofler needs to resign and the party needs to get behind Doug Collins. She is no great loss either. She comes from big money and is the personal choice of the governor, who is always trolling for big contributions. She is no Trump supporter, whereas Collins is.
Human experience has shown that in times of crisis, the public needs scapegoats. These two jackals are ripe for plucking, by the enemy. They need to be removed and strong candidates must replace them. Now.
Don’t fuck this up.
Tucker Carlson will slam the Deacon tonight.
Common sense seems to have left the building. 🙁
Interesting information. 😀

Gonzo, years ago I interviewed for a corporate counsel job with a regional cargo airline domiciled in Miami, that ran planes throughout the Caribbean and the northern tip of South America. They were owned by a group of venture capitalists who rescued it from bankruptcy. They had labor problems up the ying yang. The owner was the problem. He lost a union organizing drive and never got over it. One of the many things he did to get even was to remove the toilets from the planes and give his pilots bags to relieve themselves. That was too much to expect from a pilot, and too much to expect from a trucker as well. I applaud Sonny Perdue for telling us that the food supply chain is secure, but there could come a point where an overstretched military will have to take that over as well.
