Trump’s numbers are contained, therefore contained. You’re obviously not a stable genius.

Our Gov. has suspended visits to prisons, but will give inmates two free calls a week to loved ones and is allowing some controlled social media time for the foreseeable future.

They get to report low numbers because of that.
But, this is all going to catch up with these Coronavirus deniers when this thing really takes off. They are going to look like the ship of fools that they are.

Non-medical but a pretty smart fellow. Good question right off the bat, will people listen to scientist? Granted we know Donald and he supporters won’t.

and this one is just funny about his comment on Frozen characters eyeball size.

Be sure they’re not taking ANY precautions. They can’t. The air circulations systems spreads the disease.

So -all that containment jibber-jabber was wrong? How could a hand-picked parcel of Trump’s “best people” make such a yuuuge mistake?

Of course it will get worse before it get better because there’s been so little testing. The modeling that’s been done is a joke, with a large confidence interval because the underlying dynamics of transmission aren’t known and thing like phylogenetic testing can be misinterpreted as it was in Germany. The epidemic probably is going to vary across the country.

Seems too possible, especially given the criminal ineptitude of the current administration. Three weeks ago, Italy had three confirmed cases and now it’s in lockdown.

i heard on NPR that they are having prisoners in the cells sleep with heads at alternate ends of the bunks… still don’t have enough hand sanitizer for prisoners (though they have put the prisoners to work making it)… all seems a bit of a recipe for disaster.

According to The Hill, GOP senators yesterday were trying to get Trump to have Fauci be more involved as the front man for the federal response:

Oh, well, it was a good idea.

Lovely day for Mr. Hatmama and me to go to the Seattle Puget Sound VA Hospital for one of his annual doc visits. We will be disinfecting ourselves. I picture us walking through a metal detector-type system that sprays us with bleach/lysol/whatever on our way out.

Imaging sometimes helps.

Please don’t shut down the airline industry until I’ve made it out of Fresno and successfully made my connecting flight. I don’t ask for much.
