    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Different politically. Not different in terms of any particular logic in shutting off travel.

    In fact, any difference would point to the UK being the bigger threat--they were the nation that initially decided to go with the strategy of getting as many people as infected as possible in the first wave.

    Italy was the hot spot at the time. It changed shortly afterwards to include the UK.

    Trump apologists are quite funny when they're wrong.

    Lumping cops into one group is also funny...and wrong.

    As I mentioned earlier, I have been volunteering a few days per week at our local testing facility where we too have only a select population that we are testing. I've had a few roles in both assembling kits, registration and a makeshift call center. It is fucking heart breaking telling someone on the phone who is so clearly sick that they don't even qualify for a damn test because we don't have enough. Some people have stayed on hold for over an hour to be told they don't qualify. Some of the calls I took this week especially have been just brutal.

    I've stopped watching Trump's daily propaganda sessions, but to hear that the press has stopped to even ASK about tests is a sad state of affairs.



    Until we have tested a wide array of the population to gauge the true spread of this virus, we will not come back to normalcy anytime soon.

    Hilarious how he thinks all cops are bad. I know many auto body workers that are horrible, but I also know many that are excellent and everything inbetween. Lumping groups of people as one is probably the most racist and/or prejudicial way of thinking. It really doesn't surprise me the source though.

    An interesting take...

    https://jennifermargulis.net/glyphosate-and-covid-19-connection/

    Connecting the Dots: Glyphosate and COVID-19
    Are glyphosate and COVID-19 connected? Glyphosate, one of the most toxic chemicals in the world, may be the key to why some people get severely ill from COVID-19. An MIT senior research scientist reports:

    By Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D.


    The pandemic that we have long been told is coming any day now has unfortunately arrived. The new strain of coronavirus, named COVID-19, has taken the world by storm, practically shutting down the global economy and overwhelming the hospital systems.

    I am a senior research scientist at MIT. I have devoted over 12 years to trying to understand the role of toxic chemicals in the deterioration of human health. I have been particularly focused on figuring out what has been driving the skyrocketing rates of autism in America and around the world. My research strongly suggests that glyphosate (the active ingredient in the weed killer Roundup) is a primary cause of the autism epidemic in the United States. When the COVID-19 pandemic began its march across the world, I started to consider whether glyphosate might play a role. If there is indeed a connection between glyphosate and COVID-19, understanding why and how they’re connected could play a critical role in combating this pandemic........

    Yeah, neither do I. I argued with Dviss about it for years. Search the threads.

    Now you want to be objective.

    Except you don't, you just want to take the opposite side. If I defended those cops you would be attacking that.

    I'm gonna call you and your boy the Milano twins from now on.

    Wuhan, China, ended its 76-day lockdown on Wednesday, as hordes of masked, elated residents flooded the streets of the city where the coronavirus pandemic is believed to have originated. “Being indoors for so long drove me crazy,” Tong Zhengkun told the AP, while Wang Chun added, “I’m so happy Wuhan has defeated this virus.”

    Long lines formed at airport, train and bus stations in the city of 11 million, as thousands rushed to return to their jobs and homes elsewhere.

    Craziness, but at least they can be the guinea pig so we can see the results first before this idiot we have in charge makes an ill advised decision.
