Not if you brush your dogs teeth on a regular basis. My dog gets his brushed at least once every few days. He was raised from a puppy to be acclimated to it.

Trumpers have no place in here.

Most telling is Russia's lack of input to WHO

Its funny how brainless idiots find any reason to blame something on President Trump.

Last year was my first year without a big garden in several years. I had kept expanding and then helping a farmer in exchange for some garden space. And helping a bee keeper and getting some hives of my own. For a few years we had so much fresh produce and honey.

The sad end result was that I spread myself to thin. Began to ignore (more like become complacent) my indoor garden (income) and had a pm outbreak when I could not afford it (as if anyone can). Had to re assess my time and get the things that pay well back in working order.

Already planning a garden this year. And probably start volunteering with the beekeeper again. Just keeping it all small and reasonable.

Yup. Once you know how to do it, you can chill because it's a lot of frigging work. Thing is, you can pull that skill out of your toolbox if you need it.

I have always said I will accept full responsibility only IF I also have full authority and control over the resources and decisions. president Trump has no authority over the bureaucrats in these agencies, many of them deep staters or dims who want to see him fail. Even at the expense of the country.

People who are falling for this are part of the problem. These people are dividing Americans. When a guy like biden says when he is elected he will unite America, that can only be by eliminating or imprisoning the Americans who do not want his globalist utopia.

When bden picks clinton as his running mate, or one of the other evil oboma women, will you Trump haters see more clearly?

Another thing I learned. When is the best time to plant fruit and nut trees? Years ago.

Went and did some prep shopping this morning, got my caffeine and snacks, then hit up the garden store. Might as well work on some nice organic soil while social distancing.

NEW CHINESE OFFICIAL STATES U.S. RESPONSIBLE FOR CORONSVIRUS IN WUHAN...

Coronavirus: Chinese official suggests U.S. Army to blame for outbreak
"It might be U.S. army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan,” tweeted Zhao Lijian. “Be transparent! Make public your data! U.S. owe us an explanation!"

Chinese officials have sidestepped questions about whether Beijing blames Washington for the coronavirus outbreak after a foreign ministry spokesman suggested it could have been planted by the U.S. Army.

"When did patient zero begin in U.S.? How many people are infected? What are the names of the hospitals? It might be U.S. army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan,” Zhao Lijian tweeted in both Chinese and English on Thursday. “Be transparent! Make public your data! U.S. owe us an explanation!"

All public schools K-12 closed until April 6. NM State Parks closing campgrounds until April 1...or longer. Large crowd events are cancelled. Proactive mitigation vs. hoax, it's just the flu.

You'd be *very surprised how much food you can grow in a small space. Mine is 30x20 and We give away loads and preserve/can the rest. But you need a few seasons under your belt. If I never did it before, I'd be planting a shit load of potatoes as soon as May15th rolls around. So go to the store and buy three 10 lb bags of potatoes and put them in a warm dark place to get them to start sprouting.

A basket of berries will give you jam for a year or more. 12'x4' is potatoes, carrots or onions for a year. 1 apple tree will supply more pie material than you can eat in 3 years.

But it's all moot if you don't know how to grow and how to preserve. It's a learned skill. People think that if an apocalypse happens, they'll just grow their own food. Well it ain't gonna happen. They'll starve. And so will their families because the kids won't help weed or hoe.

Give someone a pack of carrot seeds and watch them get a dozen baby carrots for their efforts. Onion or garlic seeds and watch them get ZERO. And this stuff isn't even the hard stuff you need to be growing. And unless you can get water out of your well, if you have one, you're fucked the first month.

Being prepared isn't about joining a survivalist community or buying loads of prepper supplies. It's about learning the skills you need, when you'll need them. Like growing weed, the only way to start learning is to start doing.

But start with something easy to build confidence. Throw a couple pieces of potato (with en eye) in your flower bed. Put a tomato slice in a pot with soil (and ya, you'll have to water it without drowning it). When your tomato seedlings start sprouting, pull them out gently and transplant them, then put them in your flower bed. But you have to start your tomatoes now or you'll only get a few.

That's right. It is not that easy to grow veggies. I started 8 years ago and still fight with it. What I found for me in my garden easy to grow is:
Potatoes, zucchini, runner beans and Hokkaido pumpkins.

Here in my area I have problems with Phytophthora infestans, a fungi which kills the potatoes. I plant my potatoes very early and use foil so I can harvest them before the fungi is coming. Otherwise I have to spray fungicide. I get this in the next garden-center. And if you are hungry it will be your last concern if the potatoes are organic or not.

Trump condemns CDC for lack of coronavirus testing, blames Obama
The president called the past administration's response to the swine flu, H1N1, pandemic a "full-scale disaster."

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday criticized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for being ill-prepared to test for the coronavirus and he blamed former President Barack Obama for the situation.



Trump twitter...
@realDonaldTrump
"For decades the @CDCgov looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further," he wrote.

@realDonaldTrump
.... Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!

BREAKING...

SEATTLE — King County officials say a homeless man who was awaiting coronavirus test results left the Kent quarantine facility Friday and got onto a Metro bus.

“My fears for this facility have come true,” Kent Mayor Dana Ralph, who’s been opposed to the facility, said in a Facebook post Friday.

Since the man was awaiting test results, it is not known if he has the virus.

Since the county announced it was buying the motel, Kent’s mayor and police chief, as well as businesses and neighbors, voiced their concerns about whether the facility would be secure. A temporary restraining order was filed against King County to keep the facility from opening, but it was denied by a judge.

According to the county, a homeless man awaiting test results for coronavirus took a room at the motel Thursday. About 7:30 a.m. Friday, the man disregarded the instructions of an onsite security guard and left the motel.

He then crossed Central Avenue North and entered a gas station convenience store, where he may have shoplifted items before taking a Route 153 Metro bus northbound. The bus was taken out of service to be cleaned and sanitized.

During a Friday news conference, Kent Police Chief Rafael Padilla said he learned about the incident when the owner of the gas station called and said a patient from the quarantine site had shoplifted a doughnut. Police were not notified by county health officials or the King County Executive’s office, Padilla said.

Because the quarantine is voluntary, the county doesn’t have the authority to detain people against their will, Ralph said at a Friday news conference.

King County said in a Friday news release that it is shifting the Kent and White Center quarantine sites to help people who do not need supportive social services, such as the homeless.

Meanwhile, the number of coronavirus cases in Washington continue to grow.

Walmart to turn portions of parking lots into drive-thru testing centers for COVID-19

WASHINGTON — Walmart will make portions of its parking lots in select locations available for drive-thru testing for COVID-19.

CEO of Walmart Doug McMillon said during President Donald Trump’s press conference that, “portions of the parking lot will be available in select locations in the beginning and scaling over time as supply increases so can people can experience the drive-thru experience that the President described.”

“We will stay involved and do everything we can from a supply chain point of view to be of assistance,” McMillon continued.

Neither the President nor McMillon said which Walmarts would have the testing or when the testing would begin.
