This pandemic is just getting started, and still on the growth part of the curve in the US. Best idea is to not get this stuff it seems, and the best way is to isolate, and wash hands. I am doing a lot of laundry also. Clothes may be a good way to get this, besides your hands.

We certainly live in interesting times. Major pandemic, and critical election going at same time as a debt bubble bursting.

We do not seem to have any chance of pulling together in this. Every person, group, interest, for themselves.

Democrats block key vote on $2 trillion coronavirus bill as Senate floor erupts with partisan anger
Lawmakers and the White House plan to continue negotiating, but tempers flare as talks drag on and economy worsens.

Democrats blocked a $2 trillion coronavirus rescue bill for the second day in a row Monday, as near-pandemonium erupted on the Senate floor with lawmakers venting fury about their failed efforts to address the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. economy.

Ahead of the vote, Senators clashed angrily over delays that had bogged down the giant bill, reflecting uncertainty about whether Congress would be able to reach a deal later in the day. Some lawmakers had hoped to reach an agreement three days ago, but talks kept breaking down even as they negotiated throughout the weekend.

The vote was 49-46, far short of the 60 vote threshold needed to advance the legislation for a final debate.

“This has got to stop and today is the day it has to stop,” an exasperated Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the Senate floor. “The country is out of time.”


Moscow Mitch can go fuck himself. That whole GOP plan is 80% welfare handout to big corporations. All Dems & all decent GOP humans should fight against it.

Moscow Mitch refused to bring over 300 bills for vote, he deserves to burn in Hell.:tiphat:

Trump wonders why they are throwing away the face masks, because apparently they have very good liquids for cleaning these days :biglaugh:

Oh, and also- ventilators are actually machines, and nobody has ever heard of this before, and they need to order hundreds of thousands of them.... you don't say, Donald??

Stable genius, folks....

Admittedly it could be a cold, or something else, but I think I might have a mild form of Corona.


If you get it you will know it. The cough is twenty times worse than coughing from a bong hit. But there's no phlegm, just long spells of uncontrolled coughing. Very unpleasant.

Pulmonologists are gloomy: “Recommended medicines don't have much effect”


There is no cure for the coronavirus, but there are drugs that may do something good. By far the most malaria drug chloroquine is used, but the side effects are considerable and there is little evidence that it works.

Chairman of the Dutch Association of Physicians for Pulmonary Diseases and Tuberculosis (NVALT) Leon van den Toorn is gloomy about the first results. “What we have seen in practice so far in the Brabant region is that the recommended medicines do not seem to have much effect. But at least patients do suffer from side effects, such as depressive symptoms, nausea and vomiting, '' he tells AD.

The Rotterdam pulmonologist Hans in 't Veen explains: “There are three problems: The medication is not available, the medication is often toxic and we don't even know if it will help.” “A new guideline that has been drawn up is certainly about discussion, he thinks. "If it has not been proven and is very harmful, should you ask whether you can write down the treatment advice so emphatically?"

Van den Toorn is hopeful for the long term: “So far we have been waging war without good weapons, but we nevertheless assume that we will eventually win the battle. Moreover, the vast majority of patients recover, even without those medicines, so that gives hope. ''

Iwill make a bet on this so called bailout. I bet that people with no bank account, or that didn't file taxes wont get 1 dime, but they will get to pay for it in more ways than one.

6:45 AM EST In the county I live people already lined up at food store these are older non hygienic types like most around here complete strangers to soap and water .
These particular ones could be at home but aren't because they mostly trying to hoard plus some are out oblivious to all of it.
The only way is to quarantine them as they are root causes of transmission.

Most idiots here think its a Holiday.

Can't help but wonder if Coffee Filters would work.

Better than nothing. The size range I've heard for airborne Covid19 is 0.5 microns to 100 microns. 100 microns is 1/10 of a millimeter, .004 inches, won't be airborne long.

Can we ship our used masks to Donny so he can use them when he gets sick ?
