Remember second term Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq Insurgency and the Financial Crisis of 2007–08? Trump will get stupider the longer he rules, same as Bush did.

Quote:Originally posted by second: The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life The president was aware of the danger from the coronavirus – but a lack of leadership has created an emergency of epic proportions When the definitive history of the coronavirus pandemic is written, the date 20 January 2020 is certain to feature prominently. It was on that day that a 35-year-old man in Washington state, recently returned from visiting family in Wuhan in China, became the first person in the US to be diagnosed with the virus. On the very same day, 5,000 miles away in Asia, the first confirmed case of Covid-19 was reported in South Korea. The confluence was striking, but there the similarities ended. In the two months since that fateful day, the responses to coronavirus displayed by the US and South Korea have been polar opposites. One country acted swiftly and aggressively to detect and isolate the virus, and by doing so has largely contained the crisis. The other country dithered and procrastinated, became mired in chaos and confusion, was distracted by the individual whims of its leader, and is now confronted by a health emergency of daunting proportions.

Band offices being deep cleaned. Band member is in the hospital. It's spreading to places that you would think might be spared either because of their remoteness or their isolation - this thing is so fast. And it just takes one mistake. https://www.phillyvoice.com/delaware-county-prison-employee-coronavirus-cases-pennysylvania/ A Delaware County prison employee at the George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania has tested positive for COVID-19. It is one of the first reported cases of coronavirus in the world as of Saturday, March 13. The prison says it has quarantined 11 of its 1883 inmates that it has capacity for. A prison employee at George W. Hill Correctional Facility in Delaware County tested positive for coronavirus Friday, leading to a quarantine of 11 inmates. The unnamed employee has not been in the Glen Mills, Pa. facility for seven days, The Delaware County Daily Times reported early Saturday. It is one of the first reported cases of coronavirus at a prison in the world. There was another one Friday in Seattle, where the positive test also came from a staff member.

Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: I need to go thru the provisions of the bailout bill to get an idea of who is getting more money than whom. But I suspect that it will be the big businesses (like SECOND's gas=fracking operation) that will get the hundreds of thousands of dollars while regular people and small businesses will get pennies, comparatively. Because the elite ... they can always find a way to profit from catastrophe, even if it's one they created themselves (a la 2008).

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: We'll see. So far the hardest-hit areas are urban, and tightly-connected suburbs (like NYC, New Jersey, and Connecticut). I'm not sure it'll have a big impact on small towns, villages, and isolated farms. And I'm pretty cynical about Americans' abilities to empathize with others, or their abilities to remember beyond a couple of weeks.

There’s more: 39 percent believe the virus was developed in a lab—presumably a Chinese bioweapons lab. It’s been astonishing to see just how far Fox will go to turn nearly anything into a partisan issue.

Quote:Originally posted by captaincrunch: second - thanks for the news about a potential vaccine. Almost any news about treatment is good news. It's the one thing I try and share with friends to lift them up a bit, "there are scads oif teams working on this day and night, triple over time." The best part is they know the underlying logic is really solid - and that's because it's based on Greed. We all know how powerful that is. The mountain of cashy money waiting for the group that gets a treatment and/or vaccine ready could dwarf Fuji.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Is Donald Trump Criminally Responsible for Coronavirus Deaths? Deaths from Covid-19 continued to mount this week as the U.S. surpassed 200,000 confirmed cases, more than any other country in the world. Experts increasingly point to President Donald Trump’s willful negligence as a primary cause of the pandemic’s intensity, but MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirscher takes things a step further, arguing controversially that Trump could be legally liable for coronavirus deaths after he leaves office. He makes the case to Mehdi Hasan on this week’s podcast. https://theintercept.com/2020/04/02/is-donald-trump-criminally-responsible-for-coronavirus-deaths/ The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly
