Sorry dear, I didn’t realize you were linking the ad. You prefaced your link in such a way I thought it was a DJT presser or something, and I avoid seeing him at all costs. My bad, no intent to step on toes.

COVID-19 may likely be seasonal. It appears that a proven vaccine will be the only guarantee to control it and that might be two years away.

Fauci: Don't Count on a Summer Save
If the new coronavirus behaves like a typical virus the warm and humid American summers could help drive it underground until winter.
But, Anthony Fauci, MD, direct or of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said Thursday: “Don’t count on it.”

Re: Coronavirus
(The Bitchy Pundit)Heard a Dr. on TV saying in this time of Coronavirus staying at home we should focus on inner peace. To achieve this we should always finish things we start and we all could use more calm in our lives.
I looked through my house to find things I'd started and hadn't finished, so I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of Chardonnay, a bodle of Baileys, a butle of wum, tha mainder of Valiumun srciptuns, an a box a chocletz. Yu haf no idr how fablus I feel rite now. Sned this to all who need inner piss. An telum u luvum. And two hash yer wands, stafe day avrybobby!!!

Mad dictator discusses Corvid-19 with the Chinese president.
Chinese president Xi Jinping has called on Donald Trump to take “substantive actions” to improve relations between the two countries, as China prepared to shut its borders to foreign arrivals amid fears of infections coming from abroad.
On Friday, Trump and Chinese president Xi Jinping held a phone call about the coronavirus outbreak in an attempt to repair strained relations, following weeks of traded barbs over the virus. According to state media, Xi told Trump in a phone call on Friday that US-China relations had reached an “important juncture”.
“Working together brings both sides benefits, fighting hurts both. Cooperation is the only choice,” he said. Xi said he hoped the US would take “substantive actions” to improve US-China relations to develop a relationship that is “without conflict and confrontation” but based on “mutual respect and mutually beneficial cooperation.”
Trump has continued to call the disease “the Chinese virus,” despite protestations from Beijing. Chinese diplomats have in turn pushed the idea that the virus, which emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, originated in the US.
Xi also said he hoped the US would take “effective measures” to safeguard the lives of Chinese citizens in the US, describing the pandemic as the “common enemy of mankind.” He said: “Only by united can the international community defeat it.”

Re: Coronavirus
We should be mindful that China and India produce the vast majority of the pharmaceuticals that Americans rely on to maintain life in the face of life threatening medical conditions, and just how fucking vulnerable we are to bad relations with either country - or in the face of them locking down their economies.

A grocery store threw out $35,000 in food that a woman intentionally coughed on, sparking coronavirus fears, police said
By Scottie Andrew and Anna Sturla, CNN
Updated 12:40 PM ET, Thu March 26, 2020
(CNN)A woman purposely coughed on $35,000 worth of food at a Pennsylvania grocery store, police said. She likely faces criminal charges for coughing, one of the primary ways the novel coronavirus spreads.
People intentionally spreading coronavirus could be charged with terrorism, DOJ says
The unnamed woman entered small grocery chain Gerrity's Supermarket in Hanover Township and started coughing on produce, bakery items, meat and other merchandise, chain co-owner Joe Fasula wrote on Facebook.
Staff quickly removed her from the store and called Hanover Township Police, who found her a few hours later and took her into custody, Police Chief Albert Walker told CNN.
Hanover Township police said the woman "intentionally contaminated" the food, and they plan to file criminal charges against her once her mental health treatment concludes.
Officials don't believe she's infected with coronavirus but "will make every effort to see that she is tested," Fasula wrote.
Employees at Gerrity's Supermarket in Hanover Township disposed of $35,000 worth of produce that the woman had contact with and disinfected the areas where she coughed.
Despite considering what she did a "very twisted prank," Fasula said the store threw out every item she came into contact with and worked with a local health inspector to identify and disinfect areas she entered.
Ultimately, he said, the store disposed of $35,000 worth of food.
"I am absolutely sick to my stomach about the loss of food," Fasula said. "While it is always a shame when food is wasted, in these times when so many people are worried about the security of our food supply, it is even more disturbing."
It's not clear what charges the woman may face when she leaves mental health treatment.
People who threatened to spread the virus charged with terrorism
The Department of Justice affirmed Wednesday that people who intentionally spread the novel coronavirus could be charged with terrorism.
Officials across the states are taking threats of spreading coronavirus seriously. Earlier this week, a New Jersey man who police said purposely coughed on a grocery store employee and said he had coronavirus was charged with making "terroristic threats." It was not clear whether the man had a lawyer, the state's attorney general said.
And in Missouri, a 26-year-old man was charged this week with making a terrorist threat after he was filmed in early March licking sticks of deodorant at a Walmart, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. In a video, the man asks, "Who's scared of coronavirus?" the newspaper reported.
That man's attorney called the action "immature ... tasteless and impulsive" but said it happened before the World Health Organization declared the virus a pandemic, the Post-Dispatch reported. That declaration "should not work retroactively and convert a tasteless and impulsive act into a criminal terrorist threat," the lawyer told the paper.
According to a Justice Department memo, the virus meets the criteria for a "biological agent," and threatening to spread it or "use Covid-19 as a weapon against Americans" could constitute a terrorist threat.

Re: Coronavirus
Where in the story is "Trump" or "democrats" mentioned? This di not appear to be a political act of any sort, just three twisted individuals doing potentially dangerous acts. If they are not mentally ill, they should be prosecuted in the same way that people throwing bricks off highway overpasses are.

Re: Coronavirus
I am constantly amazed by the very short term memory of our president. Now he has said he sees the light at the end of the tunnel. How can he be ignorant of the Vietnam connotations of that phrase? Last nite he said we have lots of ventilators. Tonite he says he will FORCE GM to make ventilators. And as he said that, the VP was not only in the same room, Mike Pence was about an arms length away from POTUS. If the president and the vice-president are both in Walter Reed on ventilators, would that make Nancy Pelosi acting president?

Re: Coronavirus
Joe be honest; are there not many Democrats that would do anything, including spreading the virus, to get rid of Trump?
