He won't do what he can do. He is the final authority, and every State's governor would love him to make the decision to open or keep their state closed. Then they could blame him if/when things went to hell. The Democrat Party would love him to exercise full wartime powers as well. Remember, Bruce, nobody knows sh*t, but we're getting smarter every day. Not one soul on Earth knows how this mess will play out. Statistics only show what's happening right now and happened in the past. Extrapolation of covid statistics is best left to carnival seers. President Trump only has best guesses to rely on. So do the governors and the World. Nobody is certain if a palliative is right around the corner, already here or never to be. Hang in there buddy! leo |

A: not me! I live in the suburbs of Minneapolis, but I've been in Florida for the past 2 months. Same story both places. I normally do shop every day or every other, because I like to buy my fruits, veggies and meats fresh and I find I waste less food that way in the long run. For instance, I'd rather buy 2 to 3 bananas at a time rather than a bunch of 6 to 8 that will turn brown in 2 days. There's only so many old bananas you can freeze for bread. And too many things come up during the week that bump sticking to concrete meal plans. That said, DH has now banned me from daily shopping. I gave up and borrowed yeast from the next door neighbor. |

Auburn Mayor Bill Kirby was identified as the person killed when a small plane went down near Auburn Airport just after 11 a.m. local time, FOX 40 Sacramento reported. The other person on the plane apparently survived but there was no immediate information about that person's identity or medical condition. [ CALIFORNIA MAYOR SAYS HE'LL RESIGN AFTER COMPARING TRUMP BACKERS TO KKK: REPORT https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-mayor-says-hell-resign-after-comparing-trump-backers-to-kkk-report ] Kirby, who was also a physician, took heat from Auburn residents earlier this week during a city council meeting that was conducted by video because of the coronavirus outbreak. In one of the posts, the mayor allegedly shared a photo of a Ku Klux Klan hood, with the caption, "Good news for Trump supporters is that most of them already have masks," FOX 40 reported. The post was later taken down. Kirby told residents he blamed President Trump for a lack of proper gear and testing capabilities in his work as a physician. "This president has put us all at risk," Kirby said. During the city council meeting, officials and the public heard a string of voicemails that the council had received from residents infuriated by Kirby's online posts. "These comments are hateful, degrading, bigoted and more consistent with the mentality of a 15-year-old," one voicemail said, according to FOX 40. The mayor appeared remorseful at the meeting when he talked about the posts. "I spent 40 years dedicating my life to serving the community of Auburn as a physician and through my volunteer efforts. Am I perfect? No. We're all a little flawed," Kirby said. Kirby said he planned to step down as mayor at the next council meeting on April 27. The plane crash is being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, California state fire officials told the station. Auburn is a city of about 13,000 residents located about 33 miles northeast of Sacramento..." Fox News' Jack Durschlag contributed to this story. |

I have probably bumped into ten rattlesnakes in my life. When I was young, I didn't give them a chance. I still have a dandy hatband that I made from one. As I got older and trained a couple of hunting dogs, I appreciated the rattlesnake's tendency to give a warning to my dogs and me. My animosity evaporated. I still kill black widow spiders, given the opportunity. Nothing redeems them to me. I was bitten by a lot of snakes and lizards in my youth. I knew they didn't pack venom. I was real good at local reptile identification, and catching them by hand was a hobby. If a desert spiny lizard latches onto your nose, it's quite painful, and they don't let go. Don't ask. leo |

There is no such thing as creating an environment where the elderly are totally safe. Old people die. People with fucked up immune systems die. It happens every day. In fact, on an average day in America, 7500 people die. Each and every day. We don't stop the world to make it safe for those 7500 people that could die each day. They die. If your family can't figure out how to keep your kids away from their grandparents until they get vaccinated, I don't know what to tell you. My family can. PF: >> Its sad because we love going to concerts. >> eye to Chicago St. Patricks day parties.

Unfortunately, the communists lied and continue to lie to the world about this virus, and the pols were too interested in making hay to be honest with people. The craziness about calling it the Wuhan Virus, or stopping travel from China as being racist is an example of the foolishness. Fuck that...the KungFlu should be what everyone calls it. PF: >> The first few years after my wife went back to teaching was bad with every >> cold or flu a kid brought into school she'd bring home (it is funny how after >> that first year or two, our immunity has gotten much better - or we are both >> just piling on the orange juice and vit-C). sticks: That's how it works Paddlefuck. As of a day or two ago, some 60,000 people were said to have needed hospitalization because of this virus. In last years flu season, over 490,600 influenza hospitalizations occurred in USA. 16.5 million people went to their health care provider, and even with some forms of vaccinations there were at least 34,200 death from influenza. We didn't stop everything to make sure as you put it, "the elderly shouldn't have to fear for their lives." Many of them still died. PF: >> Some businesses are responsible, but others are not, and you have no idea with >> this which business you are in until after you are infected. sticks: Yep, that's true with just about any illness. If you and your clan are not willing to take the risk to go anywhere, great. Stay home. The rest of the world doesn't care. It's up to you. You don't want to go in a store, don't. Your choice. Unfortunately, we now have politicians making the decision for us and deciding arbitrarily which business can survive, and which can't. Many simply will never be able to reopen if we don't change this fucked up mess soon. It's already too late for some. PF: >> Your comment about best practices, well, you and I both know some businesses >> would follow them and some won't and that would be the biggest issue, some >> don't care or don't have the profit margin to do the right thing and you won't >> know until you are already infected because you can't tell at first exposure. sticks: You can't figure out how to minimize the risks for yourself? What are you gonna do then, wait for a year until a vaccine is available? That's fucked up, but at least it will keep you and your little shit box running without heat or air to save juice off the roads and out of the way. I bought gas for $1.45 today. That was cool.

All they have to do is check them out and take them home. They can operate on their own set of rules then. Keep them safe and cared for there until this has passed. When they get a clean bill of health they can bring them back. Otherwise, let the facilities do what they have to to protect the most vulnerable of us all. The poor bastards are sitting ducks. PF: >> At some point, financial punishment and oversight should be doled out to China >> claiming it was being well handled when they really had no clue. Unfortunately >> companies have already transfered so much IP to China that pulling back all >> manufacturing won't happen. sticks: Anybody who is still in a fog about communist society and how destructive a form of government it really is, should seek help. It will be interesting to see two things. How the world attempts to hold them accountable, and how they fight back. It will get ugly I think. PF: > And, while you may not be concerned with your life, I'm sure these girls are > concerned about their parents (and this story repeats itself daily). > https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-coronavirus-illinois-college-students-parents-20200416-omxbwnuysvastomkh4mker7wue-story.html > "Two suburban sisters came home after their college campuses closed. Within days, both their parents were in the ICU with COVID-19." sticks: Kinda stupid to say I'm not concerned with my life, but I expect that kind of shit from a dimwit like you, paddlefuck. Bad things happen to good people. Should the girls have done something to protect their parents? I don't know, perhaps. However, we can't stop the world and continue bailing out everybody with printed money forever, anymore than we can stop the world from spinning on it's axis. Life goes on. In 2018 36,560 people died from a motor vehicle accident. We didn't take away everyone's car. We have to salvage what is left of our economy. We have done what they asked and proven we can flatten the curve and our health care system will not get overwhelmed. Now the pols want more because they are all scared even a single death will be blamed on them. All continuing this does is prolong the lack of herd immunity, and increase the deaths from economic hardship and greatly increase the financial losses all of us are experiencing. What we have done to the best economy the world has ever seen, is not being borne out by the numbers. I accept it had to be done because of the lying by the communist fucks in China, but it is time to start the wheels spinning again while there is still something left..." </> </> |

When Microsoft said WebTV users can keep their old addresses as long as they sign in at least once every 270 days I thought "why not?" I still hear from folks I once communicated with on the WebTV groups. It's also good for some sites that insist you sign in before accessing their information.
