I personally think Trump doesn't give a hoot about any of us. He knew since Dec. 2019, he let the virus grow.. as the stocks plummet they can be bought at very low prices ~ he's been socializing w/ the enemies of the world. Maybe their shopping ? and the hackers that have taken over our SS numbers to get the "stimulus" checks ~ they give and then take it back. ops steal it back ~ I will never believe that it was from a bat !! I said it b4 my OWN belief is that it's chemical war ~ Trump knows this ~ btw mental picture of all Trump's cronnies wearing cheerleader costumes... when he is guilty ~ he brings it up ~ having idiots say he's been on top of everything and and and..... he controls everyone he knows if not your bullied ~ friggen physcopath ~

How about that beautiful Yellow tie that Governor Cuomo wore this morning during his latest press conference on covid 19?
"Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'round an old Oak tree" is what came to mind, while he was teaching the public with down-to-earth language and useful comparisons on the desperate need for hospital's and medical professional needs (ventilators, PPE, the need for volunteers) and his compelling case for everyone to come together and share resources (unity through crisis). His compelling delivery was richly laced with metaphor, to help people grasp the gravity of the situation unfolding in NYC and the entire state of New York. It appears that Covid-19 will eclipse 9/11 and other social crises previously recorded and experienced in history.

Ontario's modelling of COVID-19
The premier, Ford, of Ontario had announced yesterday that he would produce "hard" modelling facts. So, today, I am watching CBC News Network.
Dr. Peter Donnelly, President & CEO of Public Health in Ontario, has finally been able to make some models, which are horrific, absolutely scary, as follows: Ontario has a population of 14.47 million. (Donnelly said "every year in Ontario, about 1,350 people die from normal, seasonal flu. In a bad year, 1,500 people die.") Over course of pandemic (Ontario): No measures: Full course of pandemic: 100,000 deaths No measures: 300,000 cases by end of April No measures: 6,000 deaths by end of April Current measures: 80,000 cases by end of April Current measures: 1,600 deaths by end of April Stricter measures: 12,500 cases by end of April Stricter measures: 200 deaths end of April Full course with measures: 3,000 to 15,000 deaths Full pandemic could last 18 months to 2 years. I hope I got all the figures right. Many variables involved (returning snowbirds, etc.) Am thinking that B.C. has a pop. of @5 million. Oh my, may god help all those good essential workers. I am choking up. Please stay-at-home and do social distancing (in the States, I believe it is called shelter-in-place), please wash your hands, please. |

Covid-19...
Since this video is now being shared all over social media I thought I would share it here as well.
Take it for what you will. If it resonates great if not then just ignore it. |

'It is everywhere already': Fox News hosts amp up the pressure on Trump to give up on coronavirus lockdowns and reopen the economy
A slew of Fox News opinion hosts and anchors are pushing back on public health experts, including the White House coronavirus task force, and urging President Donald Trump to abandon its social distancing policies and reopen the economy. On "Fox and Friends," one of the president's favorite Fox New programs, co-host Brian Kilmeade called the economic damage from the virus "a self-inflicted wound." IDIOTS! |

Donald Trump hates AMERICA ~ he hates all of us. He is destroying this country ~ his so called coronavirus briefing just convinced me yet one more time how much he don't want to help this country ~ someday we will find out how much he had to do with this virus ~ telling ppl over and over again I'm not gonna wear a mask ~ that ignorant bastard ~ putting this country in stay at home across the board is what we need ~ today if there is no virus tomorrow in those states could be overwhelmed. yes this is AMERICA and we do have freedom ~ freedom to think and act intelligently << lord help me ~ I can't stand him.

I'm still isolating except for reporting to work. Daughter is doing the same. They are starting to transport patients from NYC up to our hospitals and that's making some people upset. Maybe it will be enough to get them to think harder about staying home?
Domestic violence is really kicking up with this shelter in place. Folks can still buy guns and booze. It's not a good combination. My phone is ringing off the hook all day long and there is just no place left that has bed space. What do we think about doing something like going for a bike ride alone? I want to ride my bike but don't know how socially responsible that is? It's not like I'd be interacting with anyone... |

I have to agree with you ocean when you say that we will someday find out all his dealings in this. For a man who is a known germaphobe, he seems to have no problem appearing in public during this time of germ virus/crisis.
Russia cases Updated Apr 4 at 8:25 AM local Confirmed 4,731 +582 Deaths 43 +9 Recovered 333 +52 It's currently the 9th most populous country on earth, despite being the largest by area. Donnie has had a lot of meetings with Putie that have not been recorded and I do not believe for a minute they have not set up a backchannel. Yes, the world was ripe for a pandemic but years from now we may learn what happened in 2020 was much more sinister. Not sure how the 9th most populace country in the world has no more confirmed cases than some of our states. Maybe it is lack of testing, maybe it's the vodka or maybe it's just the lack of honest reporting. |

Every day Bevi and I discuss daily what to do with our store. I pay cash on delivery so everything is owned that is stocked in the store. The building is owned. The only cost would be taxes, electricity, heat (but warm weather is kind of here), water and sewer. We have a tenant that would cover a good portion of that. We have cut our daily hours by 6 hours a day and are now pulling in way more than we did with regular hours. We are thinking of cutting hours even more or just shutting down entirely but the increased sales tells us that we are providing a service. We have expanded our grocery products/selection (look we are a convenience store) not a grocery store but because of the large amount off new customers we are trying to offer options. Look Wal-Mart is 3 miles from our store, I think locals are scared about going there because of the large amount of out of staters. I worry about our employees AND our customers. Banging my head on a daily basis. I am sorry this is so disjointed but that is just how I feel right now. We are just trying to do the right thing.

I recieved this today and thought it was worth a share.
Myth: This doesn’t really affect me because I’m young and healthy. Fact: People of all ages can get and spread COVID-19. Older people and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease) appear to be more at risk for getting very sick from the virus. For your own health and the health of your community, you need to stay home away from people who don’t live in your house, wash your hands, and try not to touch your face. Myth: You need a pass to travel to your essential job in Washington. Fact: Essential workers are permitted to travel to and from work without a special permit. You can see the list for WA as of 4/4/20 at the following link https://www.governor.wa.gov/sites/de...ce=govdelivery Prepare to be patient because it's slow to load. Myth: I should probably stock up on some more groceries. Fact: There has been no disruption to the supply chain that delivers goods. If we all purchase what we need without hoarding, there will be enough for everyone. Reduce waste and help your neighbors by buying just what you need. And remember! You can increase your social distancing while grocery shopping by using a grocery delivery or pick-up service. And you can increase social connection by offering to pick up a bag of groceries for a friend or neighbor. Myth: These wipes are flushable. Fact: No, they are not, even if they are labeled that way. “Flushable” wipes, facial tissues, and paper towels were not designed to break down the same way as toilet paper, and they can cause blockages in treatment plants, plumbing, and septic systems. If you are out of toilet paper, use something else and then throw it in the trash. Please do not flush anything besides toilet paper and what came out of you. Myth: Here’s a top secret way to protect yourself from COVID-19 that doctors don’t want you to know about! Fact: Don’t believe everything you see on the internet. The best way to keep yourself and others from getting COVID-19 is to stay home as much as possible, wash your hands frequently, and not touch your face. There is nothing you can eat, bathe in, or inhale that will protect you from this virus. And some of the suggested “preventatives” on social media are downright dangerous. There is quite a bit of research going on into a vaccine or medications that may help, so hopefully there will be good news able to be shared soon but until then, just scroll past anything that sounds too good to be true. Myth: The government called to ask for my private information. Fact: That was not the government. The federal stimulus package included about $1,200 per person. This money has not been distributed yet, but some scammers are trying to take advantage of people. Remember—the government will not ask you to pay anything up front to get this money. No fees. No charges. No nothing. The government will not call to ask for your Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers. Anyone who does is a scammer. Myth: We’re going back to normal after this. Fact: Eventually we will leave our homes again, see our friends, and go to restaurants and to work. But this is a life-changing experience. We won’t be “normal” again. Maybe we’ll hug our people tighter, maybe we’ll savor our time together more. Maybe we’ll help to keep the air clean by working at home more often. Maybe we’ll decide it’s important for everyone to be able to get health care when they need it. Maybe we’ll go for more walks. We will leave our houses again, but it won’t feel normal. Myth: There’s nothing fun to do. Fact: What? It’s Census Day! The census will determine how many congressional representatives each state gets. Census results have an impact on planning and funding for health clinics and highways, fire departments and disaster response, education programs such as Head Start and college tuition assistance, and so much more. It takes less than 10 minutes to fill in – complete the survey Practice compassion. Help fight the most damaging myth of all—that Asian Americans are somehow more at risk of having or spreading COVID-19. The US now has more cases of COVID-19 than any other country, including China. We are all in this together. Stay home and stay healthy! |

Anyway... I came across a news website that is covering Covid-19 and other political issues that not only mass media covers, but they also cover issues that don't get much coverage. If you or other members here would like to supplement your reading materials with thought provoking news coverage, then you might want to check out this website: TAP: The American Propect. Ideas, Politics and Power. I find their perspective very helpful.

Some Georgia beaches will reopen this weekend following an executive order issued by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) that overrode local shelter-in-place mandates from a number of cities.????!!!!!
