Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) announced on Sunday that they were self-quarantining after shaking hands with someone at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) less than two weeks ago who later tested positive for COVID-19.
Lots of uncharitable thoughts running through my head right now.
I read a report that when Gosar was interviewed about his predicament he refused to refer to the virus as coronavirus or Covid-19, instead insisting it be called the Wuhan virus. Never miss a chance to play the xenophobia card if you can shoehorn it I guess.
My own thoughts and prayers are unprintable .
Imagine if the very elderly leadership of either party is affected. Disaster
Iâm working on it, but my compassion for those trolls is at low ebb. Check back later.
They should all be quarantined.
Somewhere in Mississippi.
How does the campaign adapt? No shaking hands at the very least. What about selfies? Can there even be crowds in confined spaces at rallies?
Biden should cancel all rallies after tomorrow. Heâll show leadership ,and, after a few days he will be praised for his foresight. What happens once several hundred people are exposed at a Trump rally? It will be ugly beyond imagining, as Trump accuses foes of deliberate infection
Didnât your Dear Criminal IMPeetus said Covid-19 was a hoax? You might get in trouble for self-quarantining, after all, didnât your Dear Criminal IMPeetus said it was okay to work? Tsk tsk tskâŚyou are contradicting his story-telling-a-lie messaging and messing with his numbers!
Snark aside, despite your loathsomeness, your self preservation will ensure you will not spread Covid-19 to more people!
MeanwhileâŚâBut my numbersâ = âBlack Mondayâ
Dow futures = down 1,255 points, 4.9%
S&P 500 futures = down 145.10 points, 4.9%
Nasdaq futures = down 410 points, 4.8%
U.S. stock-index futures were down sharply Monday, falling to their daily limit, as fears of an oil price war between OPEC and Russia sent crude futures plunging, sending shock waves through global financial markets already shaken by the spread of COVID-19.
As of this comment, truth be toldâŚ
Covid-19 worldwide
Total Confirmed = 111,354
Deaths = 3,892
Recovered = 62,375
Approx 6.24% Death Rate
Covid-19 USA
Total Confirmed = 566
Deaths = 22
Recovered = 8
And yes MAGAts, Covid-19 is not just on blue states, there are 2 deaths in a red state = FL!
how the heck are they even going to have a dem convention? On the rethuglican side they can just say - âyeah, same guy, fuck offâ but dems are another story, unless Joe just blows bernie way the heck out of the water.
Meanwhile âŚ
ETA: âNothing can stop whatâs comingâ is another QAnon meme.
Feels weird to say something positive about Ted Cruz, but here goes:
Good for Ted Cruz.
Now to find some mouthwash.
Sure wish both our leading candidates werenât a walking example of the at risk population.
Cruz is probably just taking the opportunity to hide from trump*.
Imagine it gets into the supreme court with fat Donnie in charge. That turd might use a national disaster as an excuse to call off the elections.
Do not underestimate this people.
Educate yourself - see youtube Dr. John Campbell, and Medcram
A real Black Flag operation. A Raid on the stingiest and most self-centered. The ultimate weapon â biological warfare against the conservative plague.
I see a tiny crack in the Wall of Stupid.
From the WSJ today. Itâs in WSJ-speak, but it translates pretty easily if you are familiar with English: âCoronavirus is a Bad mammajamma.â
NetÂwork efÂfects are the reaÂson it is anyÂthing but dumb to worry about the novel coroÂnÂavirus. Not only is it spreadÂing much faster than most AmerÂiÂcans reÂalÂize; it is also disÂruptÂing global manÂuÂfacÂturÂing supÂply chains as well as all the ecoÂnomic acÂtivÂiÂties that deÂpend on travel and proxÂimÂity. It could set off a casÂcade of deÂfaults in the corÂpoÂrate bond marÂket, disÂruptÂing the global fiÂnanÂcial netÂwork.
That old terrorist fist bump is looking better and better.
Itâs been 10 days. Cruz is going to kick back for 4 more.
Only twoâŚpity.
