Momentum appears to be building for a national shutdown to confront the coronavirus crisis, raising the prospect that President Trump could issue an order requiring people to stay at home.
Such an order would be unprecedented in American history, but some of Trump's top advisors have said publicly they would be open to it. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday he had raised the prospect of such a dramatic step with the administration.
“I think we should really be overly aggressive and get criticized for overreacting,” Fauci said Sunday on NBC's Meet The Press. “I think Americans should be prepared that they're going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing.”
More and more states and cities on Friday were taking drastic steps to stop the spread of the coronavirus, which has infected more than 14,000 Americans.
Even some who have been outspoken critics of the Trump administration say faster action must be taken to avoid a catastrophe on the level that Italy faces today.
“We are 2 weeks behind Italy,” Ezekiel Emanuel, a former top Obama administration official now at the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School, said Friday on MSNBC. “I am a little curious why the task force and the president have not made this a mandate nationwide. Not the lockdown but a mandate for all the states and to close restaurants and do the other things. It seems to me they are being slow on this.”

So ridiculous. This is no worse than swine flu. Mad mad world.
Thanks LS. Maybe I can finally go buy a chicken and some damned hot dog buns!
“As expected, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
FROM THE HEADLINE: “Seoul’s handling of the outbreak emphasises transparency and relies heavily on public cooperation”
We tried that - and it FAILED. So, not working here - read some Spring Break articles, if you don’t believe me.
Time to use a bit more ‘persuasion’ on the people who, unlike South Koreans, will NOT cooperate.
“Good luck doing that. Instead of compliance, you’re going go get civil unrest. How does that make anything better?”
Naa, very little. The vast majority of people understand the alternative. But feel free to suit-up and take on the man, if you think that’s the way to go!
Thanks for the ping. Hope you are right.
roll wings in baking powder with salt and pepper
390 for 20min in air fryer, flip at 10.
Butter, Hot Sauce and sugar for the end at a low stir
Add Cayenne pepper at your discretion.
Yummmm. Thank you. No air fry here so I may have to adjust a bit. Sugar in the butter and hot sauce? Never tried that before! It’s a good time to try new things. :)
Up the temp in a regular oven to 420 or so.
Thanks for the ping and update.
The minute I see this guy's name, the article gets a much closer going over.
This CCP-Virus was just a test...

One of the best things Trump did was to give the States and local governments the responsibility for their jurisdictions. As one of these, it is difficult every day because we are not closed down, but it’s important. Mohave County, AZ is not like New York or LA, we will not walk into a police state willingly.
