I agree with this. DiBlasio is an idiot and I don't know how he could have been elected to a second term.

In an update, after being on his desk for days Gov. Ducey signed to have Arizona schools close for the rest of the school year. Took Ducebag long enough. He sticks his head in the sand all the time, especially with this virus. He is lucky it hasn't flared up in Arizona yet. I fully expect it will though.

You should worry more about NY, since that's the place that very soon will have over a million cases and 50,000 dead. Under DEMOCRAT "leadership"...................

BUT, one thing is still not available that they had - TESTING. It's simply not......

All these people yapping about Trump sending too many supplies to FL.....somehow don't know that there are no tests here still. He must have not had those.

We have testing showing from 9% to as high as 14% positives - which tells me testing is WAY short. I'd expect the percentages of positives to go way down if testing was done in bulk.

Also, we are very early in the spread. A deputy nearby here just came down with it after having been on vacation in Orlando a week or more back. How many more people were on Vacation or cruises or not distancing in the last 2-3 weeks?

MANY of them have gone back home to infect other countries and states. I suspect that's the case in GA and a lot of the situation up north....they (NJ, for example) are getting hit at both ends, from the airports/NYC and from the Florida travelers returning back.

The optimistic part here is it CAN be slowed and stopped most everywhere (NYC is a different story - too many people - too close - and too far gone).

That is good news although many officials appear not to have learned it yet.

Given the choice I want to survive until the vaccine shows up.....but we will see. At least I want to survive until the curve flattens and plenty or ventilators are available.

It's morbid to talk to the wife about better ways to end it...as many of us don't want to die in a tent or in the middle of a convention center.

Brilliant drug pushing. It's all happening everywhere, Corrie, whether or you push the miracle cure. Researchers all over the world are testing it whether or not you push it. They have been for many months.

"A Woman With Lupus Said Her Health Care Provider Is Stopping Her Chloroquine Prescription And Thanked Her For The “Sacrifice”"

And on and on. Try to be part of the solution rather than the problem. Patience. It's being worked on even if you don't spread panic and hoarding.
...why do I think you posts should always end in ....hallelujah

Let me add the Philippines is taking extreme actions Americans would not accept. Talisay City was locked down before they had one confirmed case and travel between regions has been greatly curtailed.

It always amazes me how the most brilliant minds we have today can be found on C-D P&OC forum. I mean look, a third of the world is in lockdown:

And yet only these few individuals on this thread sees this pandemic for what it is, leftwing fearmongering. I'm just so curious what do you guys all do for a living? Perhaps you are already billionaires?
