Covid-19

  •

I'm starting this thread as a side discussion of all things Corona Virus related. I understand that this is going to be discussed in almost all other topic threads but we could collect news and other items here. 

 

At work, many conferences have been cancelled.

NBA - Suspended.

NHL - About to be suspended. 

NCAA March Madness - Playing - no crowd. 

 

Political Rallies have been cancelled. 

Travel bans. 

 

Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks tested positive. They're in Australia where testing is available. If they were in the US, they wouldn't have been tested.

    My condolences to you and your family.  I can unfortunately relate... my brother passed away on Sunday (some may remember him from here & the old OB forum as Taynted_Fayth) so we're also trying to

Awesome tribute...

 

Comic book characters should social distance. Who do they think they are, super heroes? 

    I have a feeling that there will be a few less republican voters when this hits the shelves.

    Free campaign speeches are not fun when you have to answer questions about stupid things you say

    Gin or Lysol?......Lysol or Gin?

    In these uncertain times, better to stick with what I know....

     Latest Covid-19 research report

    Might have been funny if they got the date right.

    Also what does it say when you lose Piers Morgan?   I think you’ll see more of this right wing people jump off the titanic as the polls gets worse and trump gets crazier.

    Manitoba employers say they're 'begging' workers to come back instead of filing for federal aid

    Real nice of the owner there to throw his “family” under the boss by publicly saying they’re declining work to stay on CERB.  He’s upset his “family” won’t come back to work to keep the business open.  Meanwhile he laid them all off when the pandemic hit. And expects them to work for less than the CERB payment?  Pay them more pal. Then they’ll come back.  When you get away with paying minimum wage or thereabouts for years and years because your service staff get tips you can’t be surprised when they don’t want to work without their same tips.  
     

    Again. Pay them more. That simple.  Or quietly explain that you’ll make sure they only work for $1000 a month so they can still collect.

    Not so long as Trump's actions reinforce their sense of victimization or reward them financially. After all, God arranged for Trump to be president, although you you make a strong argument it was an evil influence.

    He won’t lose the idiots.  But the politically smart people who don’t want to be seen betting on a loser.  They’ll jump. 

    THE WHITE HOUSE GOT CAUGHT LYING AGAIN:

     

    497
     

    Thursday night, after a completely farcical coronavirus press briefing from President Donald Trump, the White House put out a transcript of the event that falsely showed Dr. Deborah Birx supporting one of his ridiculous ideas. By Friday morning, the White House was forced to issue a correction of its transcript showing that, in fact, the coronavirus response coordinator had shot down the president.

    Only if it means they will go down with Trump. I would not put it past the GOP to throw Trump under the bus if polls show a massive loss of seats. Right wingers are all about themselves and their interests.

    An unusually high number of New Yorkers contacted city health authorities over fears that they had ingested bleach or other household cleaners in the 18 hours that followed President Trump’s bogus claim that injecting such products could cure coronavirus, the Daily News has learned.


    More than the same time last year...

    Man oh man...

    Update on the Stampede coming today. Many expect it will be cancelled outright.

    No one is saying you can't dress like a cowboy and get drunk for 10 days while making pancakes in your own house.
