Coronavirus COVID-19

[dave jenkins]

Back here in NY, people are freaking out about a potential mass quarantine/lockdown like Italy, and buying essential items out of stores. Things like water, soap, hand sanitizer, cleaning supplies, and toilet paper are hard to find in stores.

"Essential" is understood subjectively. Last night I visited the Port Chester Whole Foods (an up-market grocery store) and there was quite a lot of water available--but things like meat, loaves of artisan bread, and bananas were sold out.

Don't worry, your red-headed bloke is in control of this Democratic hoax.

Actually the shit had hit the fan over there already  a week ago, at least in some states. I mean that some items were sold out f.e. in the state of Washington  (so I'm told by a friend in Seattle). Did anybody in the media made it known? Apparently not.

Yes, of course we knew about Washington state. But  it really expanded in that 24 hour period, with all the sports leagues canceling

Bananas are essential.

Do you live near Port Chester? Or in Port Chester? I was there last year for a concert... we could have been best friends.

I live between Port Chester and White Plains. I take turns visiting each for my shopping.

What do you mean "could have"? We ARE best friends. I've given you money: I contributed to your crowdfunding campaign. (How soon they forget!)

He might become green. Listening to his last moronic message to the nation he showed signs of shortness of breath. Is that normal?

I Noticed that also, at his speech announcing the ban on European flights, he sounded like he had some breathing issue

He also shook hands with a Brazilian official  who subsequently tested positive. But Trump insisted doesn?t need a test

France is now shut down. Italy, here we come!

This american guy living in Italy comments (in italian) the last exhibition of Red Schmuck about the pandemy. It is funny how Red contradicts by his action  whatever he says (he says nothing, actually) but look at how all of the measures against contagion are indifferently ignored both by audience and staff (funniest moment when the only intelligent guy not touching the micro, keeping his hands behind him, is forced by Red to shake hands with him):

It's funny that his (many) fans still adore him. Then again, not only those certain Americans are simple minded,
after the war we too heard so many over here saying "Hitler wasn't all bad!" (or Mussolini), 'even spreading again.
No matter what happened and will happen... Love, compassion etc. is out of fashion (again) these times...
(Unless it's your own son - or dog - of course...)

But, to be fair with Red, what about the major euro countries? Is their governments behaviour any different from Schmuck's? In France they close bars and restaurants but they hold elections today: can you be more moronic? In the UK the PM says they are gonna develop immunity against the virus by letting it go full speed ahead (and kill some hundred of thousands of people in the process): a pity italian government didn't have the same idea: time and money would have been saved. In Germany, it seems that they are following the same route. Apparently   what was happening in Italy was ignored by all these statesmen: could they have been right and italians wrong?

[noodles_leone]

About the elections in France:  word is ALL THE OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES put pressure on the government to not stop the elections. Because they?re all expected to have good results. Anyway, it will surely cost us several thousands of deaths.

Another rumor: we should be fully confined (at least in some areas, like Paris) after Tuesday night.

Most criticisms are about the lack of transparency by our government that takes mesures without letting anyone guess when the next step will come.
