B-Man Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, whatdrought said: 2 things regarding the Medium article that DR and B-Man posted: 1- it appears to have been censored on the host site- does anyone have a secondary location? I didn’t get a chance to read it. 2- Lol at the poster who discredited it initially because “he’s just a guy” and then doubled back to show how bad the article was based on what the open forum comments said. Here you go: After numerous flame wars on Twitter, Medium is now showing at the above URL an otherwise white page that reads “ERROR 410 This post is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules.” However, the article can now be found at the (now Twitter-banned) Zero Hedge. includes the main critical response also. .

I'm tired of people harping on the testing, when all resources should be devoted to adding beds, finding a treatment & vaccine. The lack of testing early on, what I was harping on weeks ago, is why we got to the point of taking extreme measures now. But, yes, it’s all about saving lives now. 1

It sure looks like this government response to the crisis will make 2008 look like small potatoes. Can we just print up money and not worry? I’ll hang up and listen for your response

But, yes, it’s all about saving lives now. Would have led to the same measures a couple weeks ago. Testing wouldn’t ( and still doesn’t) change anything else in the equation. The medical system , lack of resources and a vaccine are the problem. Still a shortage of tests as it is. There was just no preventing this virus, short of actually having enough supply of hospital space and equipment. That was years in the making. 1

I was pointing out that in nearly all service sector jobs an employee can readily quit a job since you asked. The grocery store worker can quit even without prior notice though it is still proper etiquette to give two weeks notice. Only in cases of having an employee contract where short notice resignation is prohibited would prevent an employee from readily quitting.

If this thing really does live for a while on handrails and door handles, without a good scrub down of the subway (taxis, buses), it is simply a matter of time before everyone has contact with the virus. 1

However, your response, or lack, will determine if you end up like Italy or China/Korea. We had an opportunity to be on the right side after shutting down flights to China, but it was wasted.

Today was the first time I sensed that he was equivocating to the point where at a later date he could blame the Feds for something going wrong. He loves to hear himself talk, especially in front of a camera. He sees this crisis as a possible stepping stone to POTUS. Oh, did I say he loves to hear himself talk? My understanding is that if he and Schumer are together and there is a camera around, Schumer is the one that ends of holding Cuomo's beer. 1
