I so didn't want that to be true.

Basically if you are a Trump supporter and watch this, he's just betting that you are getting dumber and dumber every day.

Forget about assigning blame, think about the complete stupidity of his "advisors". 

"The best people..."

Trump's advisory council arriving to discuss when to restart the economy. At least they are wearing gloves.

"This is Covid "19" not Covid 1." Kellyanne Conway.   Classic.

Is there anything more pathetic than arrogance built out of ignorance? It's a good thing she doesn't stutter or the conservatives would be all over this.

It is a kakistocracy.

It’s not the same protest as the one today, I was wrong about that.  This is a different set of aholes in Michigan.

Saw this on the Facebook. Made me chuckle.

I don't want to trigger panic, but…

The Rules as of today: 😂

1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.

2. Masks are useless, but you have to wear one, it can save you; it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well.

3. Stores are closed, except those that are open.

4. You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick.

5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster.

6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help.

7. Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it's important to GO OUT.

8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.

9. The virus has no effect on children except those it affects.

10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there…

11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms. 

12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it's better not to go out, well, but no…

13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you get looked at very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don't go to parks or walk. But don’t sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old).

14. You can't go to retirement homes, but you have to take care of the elderly and bring food and medication.

15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy.

16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Pizza too?

17. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview must start with " I don't want to trigger panic, but…"

18. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but you can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver.

19. You can walk around with a friend but not with your family if they don't live under the same roof.

20. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance.

21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.

22. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.

23. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of.

24. We have no treatment, except that there may be one that apparently is not dangerous unless you take too much (which is the case with all medications). Orange man bad.

25. We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity, when it circulates… but we must no longer be locked up for that?

Totally. Why not launch a genocidal virus on your own people just to make sure it works before sending it around the world?

I always get a kick out of checking signs at these things for the inevitable spelling errors.

Can't tell if the young gal wrote the sign or is just the carrier of same so I'll cut her some slack.

I’m no conspiracy theorist, but this article certainly raises some interesting questions.

Hard to believe this administration was warned about inadequate safety in that lab back in 2018 and didn’t do anything about it.

things are just starting to roll, 6 passed this week so far in the nursing home around the corner from me since sunday. its a smaller home with 107 residents and 53  have been confirmed this week from there.  is it in the news, well no, we really are not getting real local news. only reason i know about it is that an aunt of one of our employees died tuesday there and he is also related to the police chief, the news is down to word of mouth and who you know

Until yesterday Ohio was not releasing the names of the nursing homes with Covid cases. Now they have, however they are not telling us how many have died at these facilities.
