Tangential but have to share this
Last night, my wife and I were on a Zoom call with our daughter and our grandchildren. We were making plans to get together this Sunday for some hot dogs with the understanding that they had been in total isolation for more than 3 weeks, as have we. She mentioned that they weren’t going over to see my son-in-laws parents anymore because they had been exposed. My wife and I were dumbfounded for a number of reasons, mainly because we knew that his parents had never observed any kind of serious isolation and couldn’t because one of their adult children is living with them and he is going out every day to work and to visit his estranged wife and child. I said of course they were exposed, they are exposed every day and she had no business going anywhere near there. I lost my cool and my wife started crying because she had been looking forward to seeing her daughter and grandchildren every waking moment for the past 3 weeks.
What my daughter meant when she said they had been exposed was not the fact that they had someone living with them who was going out every day (they didn’t consider that real exposure), but that one of their other children had a brother-in-law who had tested positive who had visited them before he had the results and they in turn had visited my son-in-law’s parents. This gets very confusing because my son-in-law comes from a very solid LDS family with 9 children. Then it turned out that his parents had also been traveling to court to support another one of their daughters who was going through a difficult divorce. In other words, my daughter and grandchildren had been visiting his parents weekly who had not been observing any real quarantine whatsoever.
So as we let this all sink in, I realized how very, very difficult it was for my son-in-law’s parents to actually isolate in any real fashion – with 9 children, 2 of whom are always having a crisis, they just were not going to deny themselves the chance to be present, supportive and loving. And it is very hard to pay more attention to the thing that is invisible than to the obvious suffering that is going on right in front of you.
By the end of the conversation, my daughter and wife were both in tears and we did not know what we were going to do, thought I suspect this morning, after calmer rational thought, we will cancel the hot dogs this weekend and my wife and I will assume the role of the heartless parents putting their own health above the love of their grandchildren.
So painful with no end in sight.

and folks living nearby report hearing the generators and refrigeration running through the nights…
We haven’t seen grandkids for three weeks but at least my “cellmate” and I are getting along well enough here at the house. We walk the dogs and affirm our love.

Fauci has been killing people for a month. He is not a good guy trying to do good things.
Don N.
Dr. Fauci: “I don’t understand why that’s not happening.”
The enormous intellectual weight of ignoramuses makes it very hard to react quickly, rationally and intelligently. That’s why. It’s ignoramuses all the way down…
Finally broke down and ordered a jig saw puzzle. Apparently my SO and I can’t play board games or cards because we cheat too much. Hope this works.

See this map of coronavirus cases? The geographic incidence of the Covid-19 outbreak is also growing exponentially. The red bits are going to eventually dominate the entire continent.
And people wonder why Dr. Fauci has not been seen at the nightly coronavirus MAGAt rallies?!
Yeah, then he’s not as bright as we all think he is.
Or he’s being deliberately disingenuous because he thinks that soft-peddling shame at Trump will make him to the right thing.
Which means he’s not as bright as we all think he is.
GOTO 10

You don’t, Doc? Really?
Take a good hard look at your boss.
Now take a good hard look at the people who control him.
First things first. After emptying the treasury and selling off all the nation’s assets, then maybe. We’ll see.
You are doing the right thing. So painful though. My Daughter, Son-in-law, and granddaughter moved walking distance from us a few months back and it is now impossible to see them less than 6 feet away. I don’t know which depresses me more, seeing them or not seeing them. I cry a lot.

Dr Fauci, my wife and I began our “stay at home” policy a month ago. We sanitize everything that comes in our home, except the dog tho that isn’t a bad idea since she does get dirty… So far we are healthy. We do not need trump to tell us how serious this plague is or isn’t. Since long before 2016 I knew trump could tell the truth…ever. So, I do not trust or believe what he says… He is sown to be a liar in real time …daily now. At some point people will be forced to see trump for what he is.

Fauci Urges Federal Stay-At-Home Order: ‘I Don’t Understand Why That’s Not Happening’
Really? No idea, Fauci? Not even a guess, huh?
Do you really think Trump gives a shit what the limits are on his powers? If he thought it would make him money or guarantee his reelection, he would have put out an order regardless of if he was allowed to by law. To this point, he thought downplaying the crisis would help him win, now he’s trying to act like he’s been leading the charge against the virus all along, but he still won’t take any actions that go against business interests unless he’s pushed (or if the CEO of a company is a woman he can insult).
Really? You don’t know why? Really? REALLY?
