I don't necessarily have an issue with voter id.  Seems racist to me to say minority people are too stupid or lazy to get a voter id.

 

Bingo. Because it is. Which is why it's a progressive talking point. It's a trick.

I'm praying for a return of the 80 degree April we had here not too long ago.

 

Have you seen any studies that strongly support this hypothesis?  Fauci has said this many times that this is virus is most likely seasonal but then you'd expect a complete slowdown of the virus in the southern European states and in Japan in the month of April

Did he take it?  All I kept hearing yesterday was reports about his condition worsening and every time I'd yell at the TV "did they put him on HCQ and zinc?"

•••sits back, takes glasses off and slowly fixes gaze on Doc•••

 

"And this television, Doc.  It heard you? You think you saved Boris, right?  How does that make you feel?"

Warm buffets can be a real danger zone. Rice in particular. It can have bacillus Cereus. https://www.livescience.com/65374-bacillus-cereus-fried-rice-syndrome.html
Many people thought they were sick from MSG. Not so. Improperly stored and heated rice was likely the culprit. 

JESUS CHRIST WITH STRIPES WILL YOU PEOPLE STEAL EVERYTHING FROM ME??

 

I used to love nothing more than driving my gas-guzzling SUV to a buffet, sitting within 2' of my friends  and munching on plates of warm rice and finger foods before whistling at the pretty girls on the way home to watch Deniro in "Goodfellas".

 

Somebody better fix this sh#t!

My biggest concern too. And we can't have a state-by-state plan where NYS opens fully and PA stays shut down because that just messes up PA. It has to be centrally managed and agreed to. The crowd here hates talk of a national plan, so let's just say the all the governors cede their decisions on this to a central power to organize them coming out of this. Whatever you want to call it. It just cannot be state by state. 

This is an excellent point.

I want to live in this world where you don't have to show up to work if you don't want to.  It sounds like an Andrew Yang utopia.

It will happen. I guarantee it.  Specially with these beefed up unemployment benefits

Nope. They’ve stopped elective surgeries completely. I have first hand knowledge of that. 

Can't you just get by with the blue pill?

Trump: (paraphrasing) Eliminating bureaucratic problems so we can make ventilators now, and in the future.

 

300M facemasks will be delivered in May (to use or stockpile, 500M total).

750K new protective gowns.

National stockpile has 30M hydroxychloroquine pills (which they are sending out).

 

Azithromycin and Zinc is being added to the stockpile.

He's taking on WHO right now.

He's going on as to how much the US gives to WHO vs how much China gives to the WHO. And WHO needs to make sure all countries are treated properly. They are investigating now.

We are hopefully heading to the final stretch, the light at the end of the tunnel.

He asked Congress for the $250B paycheck protection program. 

Talking about getting the economy back up and open.

From what I understand the virus itself is encapsulated and protected in a fat like substance and the warmer weather helps that fat naturally melt away. While the warmer weather is not a panacea it reduces the time necessary to naturally kill the virus. It won't change the dynamics of a person coughing in the face of another but it will reduce the time the virus is contagious on the grocery belt.

We are going to rebuild our country, not other countries where they don't even appreciate it!

He was talking about a Phase 4 + infrastructure bill.

Q: What has to happen to reopen the country?

A: We have to be on the downside of the slope. Can do it in phases. It would be nice to do it with a big bang. Sooner rather than later. Sitting down with experts soon.  (This is all paraphrased)
