    Active cases down another 2300 today. Gonna be under 40K by the end of the weekend. South Korea actually reported more new cases yesterday than China did.

    Is this a sign of the end times? The good book talks about Pestilence, Earthquakes & Famines as the end is near?

    If those Chinese those numbers are legit, it's very encouraging.

    That, of course, is the major qualifier. "IF" the numbers are legit. We occasionally hear a rumor here or a report there that the numbers are being artificially falsified or depressed, but who's to know if that's just fearmongering.

    Until I see/hear something reputable that indicates that the numbers are fake, I'm going to stick with the official reports and continue to be comforted.

    Yeah, I'm much more likely to believe SK's numbers before China's.

    Mulvaney's advice to people who have voiced concern about the stock market;

    “ Really what I might do today to calm the markets is tell people to turn their televisions off for 24 hours.”




    ...nice

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I mean, he's probably right. Short-term fluctuations in the stock market aren't hugely meaningful and people watching the stock market day to day and reacting tend to make things worse.

    Unfortunately, I feel like that would be the Trump administration's advice about everything, including the Coronavirus.

    It's probably already been posted somewhere but I couldn't believe what Trump Jr. said on Fox & Friends:
    I guess the rest of the world is controlled by the Democrats since that what they're talking about as well.

    Trump Junior is my least favorite person on the planet. Fucktard needs to go play in traffic. Wish we could inject Coronavirus right into his balls.

    The HCP will be in Japan for work from July 19th- August 9th. He survived the Zika in Rio back in 2016.......should he be worried?

    But then again, I was told that was not a sufficient response.

    You will probably do this, but I hope you check with the CDC to make sure it is safe to travel beforehand, buddy. Enjoy!
