I am not a betting man. Made $1300 on the slots in PR with my buddy Ralph Stanley (rip) and never bet a nickel again. But today, I will bet that nickel that this long gone by the end of Lent.
Folks, we dont know if we will be let out of our homes on April 6. But the State Department just announced refugee resettlement and international travel to facilitate it will hopefully restart by then. Again, how do we take this seriously?

Today I spoke with American physicians and nurses to thank them for their tireless work. Doctors and nurses are at the front lines of this war and are true American HEROES! With their help, America will WIN.
Thanks, Mel. I made my calls to all the local affiliates(ABC NBC CBS)and gave them a general blast about shitty coverage and my plans to wreck their advertising income. Now I will call back with specifics.
My 4:59 is why I think, even if we do have or discover iron-clad proof that China released this virus deliberately, we will never hear about it.
Because if we do acknowledge that it was deliberate biowarfare, we would pretty much have to go to war to remove Xi's regime, or destroy it with WMD. What other option would there be, besides unconditional surrender to the ChiComs?
You have it MR. The cell structure seems resistance to heat. By Lent most of the country is sunny and warming up.
But your odds are as good as mine:)
Right now the disruption to life is not only unexpected but also unprepared. Even WW2 domestically didn't have this effect on everyday life. People are getting a little nervous and uncertain of where it leads and how to adjust their lives.
A little vingnette. The Public Liquor store lady tells me that she has gone through 2 truck loads of booze and wine in two days. Why? Because the county pols have shut down restaurants and bars.
What Logistics Pros will tell you is that by shutting down rescouses we are weakening the full supply chain. not just booze, but TP, Fruit, meat and produce, et. al.
If this does not break soon even Trump will have a hard time containing the mobs at the stores. 7th day at Publix and not TP, no Clorox but I found a .75L of Hydrogen Peroxide.
I wish I had a nickle for every math model that just didn't work out the way it should have in that particular case:) I would have not only my nickle but the one I had to give to maryrose:)
Maybe the writer is too flippant, but I thought it was interesting and I hadn't read anywhere else that Wikipedia has been accused of recently revising the Spanish Flu mortality rate downward, possibly to make it more comparable to COVID-19.
I don't know about anyone else but I'm sick [not literally] of thinking about this crap.
Everybody's got a different, useless opinion including me... and even the experts.
I'm gonna focus on stuff I can influence and control which is very little. But it still takes a lot of time and effort.
I can tell you one thing though, every young and/or attractive girl with sniffable hair that Joe Biden crosses paths with owes Emperor Xi a huge debt of gratitude.
As do we, since I'm assuming we won't have to see the freak sucking Doc Jill's fingers anytime soon either.
As if THAT will be noticed......

I was looking at some of the stuff Charlie talked about earlier today in a little more depth, and he's right. Reducing R₀ is the key.

What it merits is a cruise missile to Xi’s private residence.
And if this was a deliberate bio warfare incident, 10 megatons on Beijing.

Maybe Barr has videos... NYT pulled the tweet he was responding to.
@RepAdamSchiff
This brazen assault on the free press by the Chinese Communist Party is appalling.
That it occurred in the midst of a public health crisis, when the flow of unbiased information to the public is critical, is also dangerous.
China’s attempts to silence the truth must not stand. twitter.com/nytimes/status…
