  1. https://video.foxnews.com/v/6147715065001#sp=show-clips
  2. Why do you think they banned the export of the drug?
  3. As crazy as it sounds, the President will get a lot of credit for "what the hell do you have to lose" with most people. If it is an existing drug, and people are going down, why not give it a shot until the medical community catches up? Might be crazy in normal times, but if I was circling the drain, I would ask for it.
  4. You can watch him on video
  5. Early models had NYC needing 110k hospital beds by end of April. Now thinking it will require half of that, for you statisticians, that would be 55k. Good news today from NYC. No time to blink, but good news
  6. Looks like NY is around the 600 mark again today. Hoping they are finished counting, as bad as that sounds, cause that would be 3 days in a row at around the same number. Stock market reflecting a possible bend in the curve
  7. No good time to have a crisis, but an election year makes it even more horrible. Everyone looking out for their re election rather than doing their job. Someone mentioned the governors. Some of them are doing a great job, no limelight, no ax grinding, just working for their states.
  8. "All of the Republicans have" This message brought to you by an unbiased bystander, damn it! There are tons of people working together, some, not so much. Give it another month or so when things settle down, and then you can have at it. Too much real stuff to do now to take seriously the partisan stuff
  9. There are certain things you might have to eat for awhile that are not your norm. We are doing ground turkey breast as a sub for hamburger. Fish is another. Lots of things like tuna, salmon. My son is buying things all the time in Lincolnton, but not a WalMart Super Centers or something. Those places are crazy sometimes. Check with your Dollar Generals and other places for TP. It is time you can plant some veggies soon on your deck or in pots. Want do any good in the present, but will make you feel better for future. Maybe drive to supermarket outside the city as the ones in small towns have shortages for awhile, but then back in stock. Not nearly the rush and hoarding.
  10. "hair on fire" folks like yourself are the reason toilet paper is gone. if everyone would use a dose of reality instead of all the crazy click bait type stuff, it would make it much easier to get through this. and it is absolutely about politics. You are the reason Trump will be re elected. 1.7 million deaths - hair on fire Then 1 million deaths - hair on fire Then 700k deaths - hair on fire and on and on and on. Now we are down to 100k - 240k deaths -hair on fire Bill Gates now says below 100k. So, when 69k die, guess who will take credit for saving 1.6 million lives? Good job
  11. Have no shades on, for either side. Trumps "polyana" theme, nor your "hair on fire" theme, do anything to solve a problem. Get away from Twitter and settle down. Think. The entire globe is dealing with something at the moment and the finger pointing is not gonna solve any issue. Maybe you can detail on your own, how the perfect candidate could have saved the US from any coronavirus cases. Maybe there is a genie's belly we can all rub? Try some critical thinking rather than just criticism
  12. Crazy talk invites you to the TB. They will love and embrace you there. Harbingers will open the door for you, find you a chair and feed you nonstop truth from Twitter. Do you have anything to say beyond hysterical talk? "could have prevented Covid 19" That's a good one. Trump says he's the best, you say he's the worst. Again, the truth is well between these two crazy talking points. Twitter will be your roadmap.......to nowhere
  13. Probably a few families might relocate, but Americans have a knack of forgetting things pretty quickly. For better or worse....
  14. Asymptomatic folks who work there probably bringing it in and not realizing it. Hate it for the folks who just are there waiting to be infected.
  15. True. NYC metro area is very densely populated and to be honest, I don't know what anyone could do with that place. There is not an arms length of space as everyone is on top of each other. CA and TX have done a decent job trying to keep folks away from each other for the populations they have. Houston is a very large city. Saying is, that when you are in Houston, your are still 2 hours from Houston. At least they are spread out, hoping it makes a difference. Mardi Gras just did New Orleans no favors
  16. So cases went down and deaths went down today. Good sign? Or just a pothole on the continued rise?
  17. Question: If the floor is full of Coronavirus patients, does the staff have to change gowns, etc with each room visit? Asking for the nurse folks here.
  18. A political ad is your answer to a question? Wow, you are a prime candidate for manipulation. One slick ad and you are convinced. No worries, the ones opposed to Biden will do the same and hook some on the other side. I won't argue ads with anyone, especially a mod
  19. You and Harbingers in the same camp. Just keep talking "hoax". Not true, but you are a mod, so I will leave it at that
  20. With approximately 50% of the cases being asymptomatic, then this thing will be impossible to control unless you declare martial law and then all hell would break loose. There are good and bad things about being a free country with all sorts of rights, a pandemic will show you the bad ones. Most governors like to control their own states and I think Trump suggesting but not forcing is wise. States also have responsibilities that come with the freedom to decide. I am looking for the test soon which tells you if you have the antibodies already. This will give the country hope, volunteers, and workers while a ton of people are sidelined by the "not knowing". And I know that they will have to wait until they are clear, but then we can get some things accomplished. The worst part beyond the deaths, is the inability to have an effect on your community in a positive way.
  21. Meh, its a crazy season. Everyone wants to score political points. Trump does it with each press conference. Wish he would come out and say, "been a bad day", here's the team to answer questions. The Romper Room fights between him and the press are past boring at this point. But, it extends to some governors. Michigan gov is trying to get Biden elected, so she is constantly in the press. I will give kudos to the gov of CA for being a grownup thus far
  22. Just to be accurate, he never called the pandemic a hoax. Long since debunked. Is the US only going to be compared to S Korea as far as success or failure? How about Europe? Nobody had a chance to prepare but the US?
  23. Unless it's in an election year. Then, it is the greatest, or worst of everything. Usually, it lies somewhere in between, except for the hyperpartisan
  24. So would your man Biden have thought it a terrible idea of closing the borders? We know the answer on that one. Anyway, if anyone thinks politicians are there to do much beyond keep power, then they are a bit misled. So we give a bit of credit to Bush II for starting the conversation on pandemics. But, presidents can suggest more money or less money for programs, but generally Congress has to get on board to actually pass the money for it. Vote buying is generally the way pols operate. Whether it is huge tax cuts or big entitlement programs, that is how they keep power, by manipulation. Spending money on a "virus possibility" will not get you votes and not many will do things ahead of time. You can keep grinding your ax for Biden all you want, but doubt he would have done any better. Again, nobody in the world was ready for this, and you cannot prepare for a pandemic in a couple months, as evidenced by the globe as we speak. I did not vote for Trump nor Hillary, thought they were both less than qualified to hold the office. Just so you know. So manipulation and Twitter truth can only go so far.
  25. Hard to do when Trump is living in your head. I know I will get banned again for telling you to take it back to TB, but whatever
