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.

Americans at World Health Organization transmitted real-time information about coronavirus to Trump administration

More than a dozen U.S. researchers, physicians and public health experts, many of them from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, were working full time at the Geneva headquarters of the World Health Organization as the novel coronavirus emerged late last year and transmitted real-time information about its discovery and spread in China to the Trump administration, according to U.S. and international officials.

Good for him...

The fact that he's been a a great leader through this, is shocking. He's been almost Prime Ministerial...

The first Premier (during Covid 19) to increase the wages of frontline workers.

As I predicted two weeks ago, Trump's ego would not allow him to play second fiddle to anyone and he would fade out of the picture when he did not be awarded the adulation he desperately seeks. This is probably the result of never had a working relationship with his father who was much as Trump is now- distant, self-absorbed and essentially amoral. He will now devolve into recriminations and lashing out in increasingly volatile ways. He will need to try to motivate his fallowers to threaten and intimidate anyone who dares to criticize or oppose him. He will experience depression which he will externalize and displace.

Don't do this often, but need to issue a mea culpa, here....

Those MAGA folks were completely right all along.    Trump Derangement Syndrome actually exists.

How did the USA pull this one off.

too bad she isn’t bothered over trumps comments.  Amazing how he surrounds himself with these people.  Or perhaps they’re just too terrified to speak out.

Obviously, her ethics are malleable enough to countenance Trump's stupidity and incompetence, even if it means people are going to die as a result of it.

She also say that Trump was merely doing "dialogue"

Or was it "taken out of context?"   Or just being "sarcastic"

Lots of worm-like wriggling, going on, these days.

Believed in science, trusted our federal leaders, and otherwise acted like a sensible adult.

If Andrew stays on any longer as leader the Cons will pays for his kids college fund.

Well, it does relate to business during the pandemic.....

Heavy on dairy products, no doubt.

Crab Rangoon and I'm out

Awfully quiet in here. 

America is poised to surpass 1,000.000 COVID19 cases before day's end today. And Trump will do a victory lap that his measures are working oh so well.
