“You’ve got it backwards. The Wuhan groupies have fed the same BS for weeks...”
Nice weather here in Texas today.
That would be a good guess.
April 15 was to be the final regular season NBA games. My guess is, if this thing settles down by the end of April or so, they might just take the standings as of now and seed the teams and hold the playoffs.
If the virus disrupts things much beyond that, they’ll probably just cancel the rest of the season and playoffs.
IRAN
(Official numbers)
Dr. Jahanpour, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, said: “From yesterday to today, based on the laboratory results, 1075 new cases of Kovid 19 have been identified in the country and the total number of people with the disease has increased to 10075 in the country.
According to Webda, Dr. Kianoush Jahanpour said in a statement that, fortunately, 3276 patients with Kovir 19 have been recovered and have been discharged.
He added: “Unfortunately, over the past 24 hours, 75 new Covid patients have lost 19 lives and the death toll has risen to 429 in the country.”

That first case really hits home!
“Attempting to convert anyone at this time is simply a waste of breath. Those that do not understand the numbers will never understand the numbers. Math is hard.”
Back in the 90s when the Harry Krishers were stepping in people’s faces at LAX, I came up with a way to deal with them. Before they could get a word in, I told them what a great job Newt and the Republicans in Congress were doing and then I just went on and one, non-stop talking about ‘the issues’. Eventually they got the message, each time they tried it.
OMFG, just got back from the store an hour ago, and it’s a complete zoo. This was my last trip except I forgot the damn cat litter. Daughter number 2 called from Denver. No TP left and she has one roll. I ordered her 20 boxes of Kleenex from Amazon. Told her she would like it even better than TP. Lol.
Insanity starting.
“It will be a miracle if he can survive it.”
I don’t see how any POTUS could survive it, unless they see the alternative as leading to certain death.
Maryland going into a full shut down mode. all schools closed starting next monday. all state offices closing. National Guard activated.
GOOD! This is smart.
I just invited them to my next animal sacrifice. Didn’t really sacrifice animals, but they didn’t know it.
Sometime I had to make strange hang gestures and recite some sort of satanic sounding blessing, but it worked. :^)
March 12 - the ‘Black Friday’ of Coronavirus in the US. I got bad vibes this morning when a large supermarket here in Texas was busy - not panicked, but busy, and that was 15 minutes after they opened, at 6:15 AM.
“My question is but injecting a frickin trillion dollars into the system you would think the dollar index would go down.”
That trillion started to flood into the stock market today...and it’s lost 10%.
All it’s doing is “flattening the curve”.
That’s the most we can hope for in anything now.
Good for Md!
In another week or so it’ll be too late to take such steps.
But we do have a little time...
“I just invited them to my next animal sacrifice. Didn’t really sacrifice animals, but they didn’t know it.”
That may be a good way to deal with the trolls and Rollcons here.
Maryland going into a full shut down mode. all schools closed starting next monday. all state offices closing. National Guard activated.
Looks like a nationwide hurricane. Over 39 deaths so far. Congrats, Wu Flu pumpers. Job well done.
Which president do you trust to protect you and yours from the virus.
Can biden even spell virus at this point in his dementia?
Looks like panic buying is starting up in Ga. Coworkers are going shopping.
Disneyland is closing tomorrow.
