To be honest, bender style drinking is probably why I felt like I did yesterday.

This is going to take such a heavy toll on people

You have to wonder if there isn’t a middle ground - once we flatten the damn curve- between killing Grandpa and shutting down the economy almost entirely

I hope there are a lot of people studying alternative ways of organizing society because 30-50% unemployment doesn’t seem tenable for months..and government can’t just print money forever…

As far as concerts…I could see big concerts being out for a real real long time

Obviously if warmer temperatures would stop this virus that would be huge as it would buy the northern hemisphere a few months to get a response together to this unprecedented crisis…developing a vaccine and treatments while increasing our medical preparedness is paramount

If this where to go on like this for many months a lot more jobs would be at stake and we would all be fucked

I think the current response is necessary because we are caught flat footed and shocked but this cannot be the entirety of it

I just want to apologize for any poor choice in words I may have used to get my point across the other day, but what I bolded above is basically where I was mentally at, and still am.

Yeah I can understand that, Space


It’s a stressful and frightening time for sure

I have read a few things we might do like isolating more vulnerable people while opening things up

I just hope there are a lot of better educated people looking into this cause it’s way above my pay grade

Oh no was just at record store and they were playing Ivy which I love

Only things I haven’t cut out yet are grocery store, post office and local record store


That's terrible news about Adam. Big fan of both of his bands.

this sounds like good news…
BREAKING: The FDA has issued an emergency approval for a testing kit than can detect coronavirus in two minutes.
https://www.axios.com/fda-coronavirus-two-minute-testing-kit-bodysphere-a665429d-488d-4edf-bd36-9180e2a06e4c.html

We've got to test as many as possible

Edit…important note
Yes, but: These rapid tests can only detect the coronavirus in people who have had the infection for several days, meaning the test can't be used too early on when the body hasn't produced enough antibodies.

What if four of us did one of those virtual Happy Hours where we do the Zaireeka multiple boom box thing 2020-style on Zoom? Would this be awesome or would the board fold in on itself from the META?

Naturally, We Now Have a Cottage Industry of Coronavirus Truther Assholes

Over the weekend, a growing number of pro-Trump personalities decided that the way to prove that the media was overhyping the pandemic was to film places where cars and ambulances show up to drop patients off. If the entrances were quiet and the parking lots mostly empty, they claimed, that was proof that the coronavirus’ effects had been overstated. Inspired by the #FilmYourHospital hashtag

goodness, sounds like the are using the same script from the impeachment, just changing the names
I do think there might be some value to this, but at the same time, why don't we focus on our mess and coverup

John Bolton@AmbJohnBolton
It’s very important Congress heed @SenRickScott and begin a comprehensive investigation of the @WHO  and their potential involvement in Communist China’s cover up of the coronavirus pandemic.

Rick Scott @SenRickScott
The @WHO receives millions of dollars in US taxpayer $$ and helped the Chinese Communist Party cover up a global pandemic.
Today, I'm calling for a Congressional investigation into what the WHO knew and when they knew it. Read more: http://bit.ly/SRS_WHO
