Imma not be the guy to post the links, but I've seen some absolutely horrid leaked video coming out of Iran and China… My… fucking… god.

It is terrifying cause if you analyze data from China it appears Spain , Italy etc are spreading faster (higher on curve)


In fact how did China manage to contain it? That is what we should be studying 24-7….but it’s like this terrifying black hole we don’t want to enter

Seeing thousands of people at Disney yesterday or hundreds partying in the streets of New Orleans does not inspire confidence

So if all the above is true in a few weeks….

We were out walking our dog Friday afternoon after teleworking….we ran into a neighbor who invited us over for beers…the neighbor with four kids in multiple schools, who had just come from a wrestling tournament the previous day. Sorry, nope, we can't come over for beers.

How did it spread from China to Iran and why is Iran so hard hit?

There are airplanes…

Do China and Iran have a closely tied tourism relationship?

Some are saying the situation in Iran is much worse than is being reported.

china's government confined millions of people to their houses.  not "stay home if you can, please", but "we'll arrest you on sight if you step outside your front door."  people complied.  cities turned into ghost towns.

that's just not gonna fly here.

I think it’s going to fly
Or we all going to die!



What a couplet

Maybe I will use it on my album I have decided to record for my 50th

prayers for smackie:

"Across California, as the coronavirus marches through communities, life as everyone understands it in the Golden State is changing dramatically, hour by hour, minute by minute.

The state has begun enacting extreme measures to halt the coronavirus outbreak. On Monday, six counties around Silicon Valley, one of the hardest-hit areas in the nation, announced a shelter-at-home order"

Can't take WV down…still holds the title of only state without know Covid case

Speaking of West Virginia and the old Greenbriar….  Wonder if there's been secret talks of whisking away the seemingly-key government officials to an underground location, ala nuclear war planning.
