    I predict he will soon be whisked off to Walter Reed for the 2nd half of his annual physical. Because he's in great health, the physical will take several weeks.

    I think if anyone would bother to check Hillary's basement, you'd find a lab churning out the Covid-19 coronavirus in overdrive mode.

    The email server was just a cover story. Das blinkenlights on the front are fake. Inside the server is a biological warfare factory.

    Response to a whole lot more than that such as what people can see is happening in China, S. Korea and Italy. People can see the writing on the wall. No amount of quarantine is going to work for long at this point. The world is simply too interconnected.
    Our dumb shit President should have heeded advice from the experts and increased the budget of the CDC and NIH rather than trying to dramatically decrease it. We should have or nearly have a vaccine by now rather than a year and a half from now. For God's sake, the infection isn't slated to peak for a little over a year from now in January. With a transmission rate R0 ('R' nought) of 2.2 compared to 1.2 for the common flu, and a death rate of about 3% for the Covid-19 coronavirus compared to 0.1% for the common flu, we can expect to see some serious consequences during that peak period.
    Dumb shit Trump is killing people now and going to kill lots of people in the fucking future.

    Edit:
    ps masks are essentially useless unless you get exactly the right kind and they must be professionally fitted to your face as well as replaced at least daily. Upshot, masks are no good for you and me. Wash your hands and avoid large crowds and people who cough and otherwise exhibit symptons.
    I just recently learned that there's never been a known case of disease transmission via a church Communion cup of wine. Each sip is wiped between users and the cup is thoroughly washed before each session. Last time, I declined the cup. Next time I will resume my normal use. Besides, my church uses really good wine in their goblet.

    Nope. This was reaction to the WHO classification of a pandemic.

    Once again, nope.
    Now, you've made an assertion that you need to back up else it's just so much hot air.

    What does Trump have to do with this. You appear to have Trump derangement syndrome derangement syndrome.
    Oil stocks are piling up and do you know why? Simple, it's because of the virus threat to the economy meaning less demand. Saudi Arabia tried to mitigate this by getting all oil producers to lower their productions in order to keep prices up there. Russia said no because they wanted to drive American Shale oil producers out of buisness. Saudi Arabia got pissed and decided to teach the Russians a lesson by driving the price way way down via increasing production to further flood the market. This will have the side effect of driving shale oil producers out of business.
    Hence, the Covid-19 coronavirus is the root cause of the downturn in shale oil production stocks.
    I thought this was common kowledge.
    Also, I am not able to open Washington Post links. They want me to subscribe after viewing my limit for the month.

    Investors always want a stimulus package. It's like saying "this month, teenagers want sex".

    This will probably be directed towards sick leave or the use of unemployment insurance.

    Money to airlines, gas companies, the usual.

    Yeah, that's what Trump is proposing.
    Actually sick leave ought to be a national law. Without it, people surviving on a subsistence wage cannot afford to miss work just because they've got the measles or bubonic plague. Cut their wages if you have to but give them a reason to stay home when they're sick. This will protect their coworkers from getting an infection passed on to them. Then, do like Tektronix did, give them incentive to not take sick leave whenever they need a vacation. Tek used to grant people half their hourly wage for any unused sick time whenever they left the company or retired.

    I've always thought of myself as a simple horny old man and now I have to go through my teen years all over again. Do you realize you are subjecting me to acne breakouts and an awkwardness around women? What if I don't want to emulate you?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Did we ever reach serfdom? We were on the road to it, in 2008, I seem to recall.
