The scary thing is that Trump could well refuse to leave office even if he loses both the popular vote and the electoral college. It has happened once before in 1888 when the GOP president said that the election results were invalid and the Democrats caved in to avoid a threatened second civil war. Trump has already claimed (without proof) that several million illegal votes were cast and that he won the popular vote. He conceivably claim the same and, with the support of the GOP, provoke a crisis.

The US was advised of the COVID19 outbreak on December 1st, 2019, but due to the slashing of the CDC Department of Health budgets, nothing was done about it.

At one point years ago, I was on the infection control committee in a small rural hospital and that was the stat we were given.

This is called "jumping before you are pushed". McMahon has saved face.

And the rule of thumb is that each influenza variant infectee will transmit the disease to 7 others on average, so the numbers add up very quickly.

The biggest problems about this pandemic is that Donald Trump gutted the CDC and federal public health departments and now is engaged in a massive disinformation campaign abetted by the GOP and Fox news. No public official can say anything without Mike Pence vetting it and he has been caught lying already in spite of his claim to be a "righteous Christian". Moreover, China is a dictatorship and has been working furiously to minimize public perceptions and reports. Last week a Chinese businessman living in Hong Kong said that he had reliable information that bodies were being burned en masse on the outskirts of Wuhan but there is no way to independently verify this.

AKA: euthanasia.

Ack! Who touched that???? Unclean! Unclean!

Swann's vulnerability to concussions may be a concern.

Too harsh- send him to watch ALL the XFL games.

In all honesty, I have never watched any part of any XFL game-past or present, nor do I intend to.

And then there are the majority who do not give a rat's butt about the latest XFL ego-trip debacle.

Sooo....a Bridge too far?

I prefer diagonal.

Please, God give us something of note to argue about or we will be soon be reduced to arguing about whether it ought to be sock-sock , shoe-shoe or sock-shoe, sock-shoe..
