4/21 or 3/21? I’ve been saying 19-21 days seems to be peak cases which would be the 23rd-25th of March.

What letter of the alphabet does quarantine begin with?

I’ve heard second hand accounts on FR, and one by freepmail. One second hand account was a member who had relatives of relatives come back from China, who worked in the Wuhan lab, and that’s what he heard.

I think it is almost a sure thing the virus is a lab escapee. If our gov has hard evidence, they sure as heck aren’t going to make it public right now.

More good news.

Today, for the first time this month, fewer people died from Corona than the day before!

I sincerely doubt it - we would have found out by now. That isn't info that would be easy to keep secret.

national defense authorization act (amendments to which were discussed here repeatedly with just how all-powerful they declared the fedgov) probably allow this and pretty much anything else. folks can argue constitutionality, but they passed the law.

i recall debating one obama-era provision that allowed the feds to mandate that you work with our without pay at a job they picked, iirc (going from memory).

There are some states that have very few cases. I don’t know why you’d shut down those states. Why not just restrict travel to those states?

The grandstanding Leftist mayor of Phoenix decided on her own to prematurely shut down the city, and has proceeded to buffalo every other public official in Arizona my making typical "Don't you even CARE???" arguments in the media. I expect our RINO governor to give in to the pressure any day now. Hopefully since we are shutting down somewhat prematurely we will re-open sooner than other states.

infections will turn down on 4/21, maybe sooner

I'm predicting we'll know by a week from now if we have handle on this.

Well, I can only assume that the ever so vigilant TSA is giving all passengers a test for the bioweapon....Denying anyone passage who so much as sneezes or sniffles.

This is growing into information war. The left is pushing all of it mainstream to social. I noticed the same narrative,talking points and trolls over and over. I see America right now shaking like it may collapse.

“If Dr Death Ezekiel Emmanuel is giving advice....run the other way”!

That’s right. He’s one evil bastard and the president had better not listen to a word from him.

Try having healthcare without a prosperous economy. You create a false dichotomy.


Exactly. All the Wu Flu addicts offer us is a parade of Alinsky strawmen and false choices. Fortunately, they’ll be getting a bill for the Wu Flu Panic of 2020 just like us, are children and their grandchildren will get for this trillion dollar debacle.

Trump trusts Fauci because he’s an old hand that has been on TV a lot over the years. But it’s clearly time to leash him.

“Martial law or a nationally mandated shutdown by Trump is a trap”.

I agree. Martial Law would be a huge mistake on many levels.

Besides, what grounds would there be for declaring Martial law?
