TRMS is tearing a new hole in the ass of Homeland Security Health and Human Services taking charge of the Wuhan evacuees. You know the people that were sent there untrained and unprotected. All dispersed throughout the country to go home with no restrictions.
Meanwhile Fox is doing a major back and fill operation.
I'm sure everyone feels more secure now.
If Trump really wanted to help the markets settle, he should just shut his big pie hole, and let the experts (adults) talk.

they've systematically fired all the experts and replaced them with MAGA-swallowing troglodytes. and those few experts that remain, outside of the administration only, and in positions that matter (like the CDC) are effectively silenced. Allowing experts to speak would undermine the flood of lies from the Trump team, and thus halt the progression of their desire to capture the US as their singular kingdom.

...it honestly probably isn't too long from now, if things get really bad, that Trump people (and he definitely has these sorts in his umbrella, without question), will start executing the smart people in these government positions.

Not joking.

you mean like golfball through a garden hose?

If there was ever to be a certified expert at that, Mike might qualify. He sucked as a governor, he sucked as a presidential candidate, and he'll continue to suck at everything else he tries. Suckage is kinda his thing.

Wanna make them take it seriously?

Simple fix: We need a home test for coronavirus. If you test positive...

Sign up for a white house tour.

Home AIDS test kits exist?

Yeah, it shocked the hell out of me too. Of course, they were also in the clearance isle at Walmart. Tells you a lot about the town (I mean, does your Walmart sell home AIDS tests???), but doesn't speak to the quality of the product.

Meanwhile Trumps campaigning all over SC to disrupt the Democratic primary. Priorities you know.

Hell, I heard they wanted to campaign all day tomorrow and have Presidential motorcades disrupt peak polling hours, but the governor put the brakes on it.

What has been shocking is the turn on a dime the messaging from the right-wing propaganda and conspiracy outlets have taken.

ALL up until the end of last week were claiming China is vastly under-reporting cases and deaths, that this is a bio-weapon and we're all doomed. That is a very basic summery of the right-wing and conspiracy talking heads. All in unison until this week.

Then, all of a sudden starting around Monday, the narrative has turned on a fucking dime.

Now WHO is conspiring to undermine Trump, or considering to get World Bank bond money for a pandemic by lying about what is just a common cold.

Look at this article from Tuesday. This right-wing propaganda outlet carried NOTHING but doom and gloom reports and changed on a fucking dime Tuesday.

Numbers Show Coronavirus Appears Far Less Deadly Than Flu, But Gov't, Media Keep Promoting Panic


But wait! These are the articles prior to this week's Trump Tantrum:









I could go on but... I think you see. And this is just one example of an overnight change.

If you haven't seen the movies "Outbreak" or "Contagion", you should.

I have gloves, masks, and enough food to last me six months without going out. I also have a shovel, a shotgun, and 5 acres. Do not trifle with me.

Since I am 52 and have no co-morbidities I am not all that worried for my own health. My chance of death is probably well under 1% and I have excellent healthcare coverage. For 80-85% this virus is a mild cold or no symptoms at all. But for the other 20% it is far worse and will end up being 20 times worse than the flu if it becomes epidemic and breaks out of containment.

The death rate for the elderly is as high as 14%. This will be devastating for our healthcare system, and hearts. Imagine 30-60% of the US loses an elderly family member due to this virus. Holy shit that is a huge toll.

And without a decon chamber, all the gloves and masks in the world are kinda useless in untrained hands.

I'm a former Marine.

I received training in CBN, (chemical, biological, nuclear) protections. What I have will do just fine.

^ Good thing the US, being a democracy with freedom and shit, would never try to silence experts and qualified people, in dispensing their duties, from informing the public of the facts on the ground and actual dangers posed.

Good thing we would never do that here. Never!

I’m going to stock up on some rice, beans and canned veggies/foods this weekend or early next week.
Sort of sucks because we have been trimming down our stored & frozen food for the last month or so.
Plus get some antihistamines and sanitizer.
