Last day in the countdown to an end to the COVID-19 panic.

Scooter, when you buy a business you look at the books, check out the facilities and the inventory.

Going into office as president isn't the same. Especially when the the media has been baying at you and chasing your car like rabid dogs since you joined the race. And continues to do the same along with members of Congress calling for your head.

Thanks for the insight again, You missed the pearls again.

More evasion and word salad.

Thanks for rolling off of your sister long enough to respond. You can get back to it now.

All and I mean ALL in due course as the shutdown parts of the economy come back on line. Besides herd immunity there's herd mentality. Think lemmings into the abyss.

More and more of the negativity will go away this month and most definitely after May 1, 2020.

Believe it or not the network media can't stampede all of the lemmings.

"This is Mission Control; there has been a hold on the pad for recalibration of the bird, and we are re-adjusting the countdown."

That's just fucking great.  Another three weeks of his damnable "so many days" countdown and bullshit 'news articles' from disreputable sources.

Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin saves a 102 year old woman in NY.

"Dr. Taimur Mirza oversaw Avouris’ care and says her prognosis initially was not good.

“Her course in the beginning, it was a little bit rough. For a while there, she required some oxygen, then we started her on the combination of the hydroxychloroquine and the azithromycin,” Mirza said."

I'm looking for the part that says, "and we know (or even, we strongly suspect) that the drugs had some effect on her recovery," but those words don't seem to appear anywhere.

It's a little known fact that of the 33,000 missing Hillary emails, 32,999 contained valuable data to support the theory that coronavirus can be stopped in its tracks by the application of hydroxychloroquine across the threshold of any door. The virus gets its little feet caught in the powder and Bob's your uncle. Or auntie as the case may be.

All right! At last!

The U.S. now has

• 560,433 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (1,693 cases per million people)
• 22,115 deaths due to COVID-19 (67 deaths per million people)
• 2,832,539 diagnostic tests administered (8,557 tests per million people)

...and so it's time to end the panic. Right. Move along. Nothing to see here, anymore.

THE OIL PATCH IS GOING BACK TO WORK!

Way to go Mr. President!

Anyone else wondering what the stock market will do tomorrow?

No need to wonder:

Stocks slide after historic oil deal

I guess the markets aren't convinced that the world is going back to work anytime soon.

[ex-khobar Andy]

So today's the day, huh?

I've been looking forward to this. I can finally get the T-shirt.

Are we there yet, Dad? You said we'd be there by now. I need a pee!
