COVID-19

I mean, I was talking about cell phones in public places. But sure.

Yet I didn't find out you were supposed to wait for everyone to have their plate to start eating until I was 25.

This only counts in groups of three people or less. Any more than that, and it's polite to wait until three people have their food, or so I was taught.

Excellent discussion on a relatively easy way to get things going again with contact tracing

Except when you're at your OCS dining in sitting at a 6-8 person table.

Then you must hold both of your drinks at arms length until everyone is ready in the room...and you will be recovering your helmet from the trees when you get back outside (but won’t be wearing your hat inside)

Pelosi's and the Dem's "Heroes Act" proposed Coronavirus bill... What a crook of shit and nothing but an attempt to reshape society to the lib vision while securing Dem votes. This is fucking outrageous.

- Adds $3 trillion to the national debt. Total of $5.8 trillion added this year if passed along with previous Coronavirus bills. Federal tax revenue was $3.5 trillion for 2019 and the Budget was $4.04 trillion. So 2019 adds $6.34 to the national debt, up from the current $23.3 trillion. An increase of 27%

- Shields any illegal alien from deportation if employed in an essential job. The way the bill defines essential job covers 90% of the illegal aliens. Also shield the employers who hired the illegal aliens. Basically protects illegals and their illegal lower paying jobs from unemployed Americans and legal residents who could fill them. Over 30 million American and legal residents have loss their jobs and it is projected up to 42% of them may be permanent loses.

- Extends all current guest worker visas and dramatically expands the number available. Provides jobs for non-citizens willing to work for lower wages while 30 million Americans unemployed.

- Expedites and expands number of health care worker visas. 43% of the 1.9 million health care workers in the family practice field alone have already lost their jobs. This number does not include the specialist and non-Coronavirus health care workers that have also been laid off or have reduced income. Yet Pelosi and the Dems want to bring in more health care workers that will work for lower pay.

- Require all government agencies and institutions to the maximum extend possible deposit their money in minority owned banks. What does this have to do with Coronavirus. Another blatant non-Coronavirus related lib attempt use the pandemic to change society to their views.

- Order the release of all federal prisoners with diabetes, asthma or over 50 years old unless it can be shown they are likely to commit a crime against a SPECIFIC individual and not just a crime in general. An almost impossible thing to prove.

- Orders studies on how to suppress "misinformation" on Coronavirus. I.e. censorship.

- Repeals the $10,000 federal tax deduction limit on SALT taxes. Since the majority of those hitting these limits live in Dem controlled states with high taxes to support their Dem social warfare policies. The majority people this actually affects are not the ones who have lost jobs or have incomes that would qualify for the $1200 stimulus checks. This is just another attempt to use the current crisis to further the Dem/lib agenda.

- Allow D.C. lobby firms to be eligible for federal small business loans. How does lobbying fix the crisis?


Oh yeah, Pelosi is calling the House back into session on Friday to vote on this. Nevermind conditions have not changed since she refused to bring the House back when the Senate came back. The only difference is now she's finished her pipe dream bill and needs to expose the House to those same conditions that were too dangerous when she wasn't ready to push her lib agenda.


Want to fix the economy and get people employed again? End this stupid shut down and open the economy back up.

Nancy's street cred...

A company called Sorrento claims the antibody they’ve developed is a “cure”.

Sorrento claims it has COVID-19 cure (OTCMKTS:SRNEQ)

Sorrento Therapeutics (NASDAQ:SRNE) gallops 56% premarket on robust volume in reaction to reports that it has discovered an antibody, dubbed STI-1499, that,...

We want to emphasize there is a cure," says CEO Henry Ji. "If we have the neutralizing antibody in your body, you don't need the social distancing. You can open up a society without fear.

More to come hopefully.

So if it works, do we stay locked down while they ramp up production? That is going to pose an interesting ethical dilemma.

Since your body doesn't make it, I'd want to catch the virus, have it for a few days to get my own body reacting and making antibodies, then take this one to crush it. Split the difference between a one time drug and a vaccine.

Well hopefully it actually works. Whether it works or not, keep opening up and isolate only those actually at risk. In the meantime if I get the virus I’ll stay home and be fine like 99.9% of people my age.

Has anyone pointed out that most of the country isn’t NYC or other dense urban areas and that blanket lockdowns were idiotic to begin with?

Yea but you can't prove that those other states won't become like NY if the economy opens.

And thus is the logical fallacy our political leaders have followed for the last 3-4 weeks.
