Re: Justice Department requested from Congress the ability to ask chief judges to indefinitely detain people without tri

What happened with the virus bill though was not about making this the last Pandemic. They pushed through a bunch of bullshit that was completely unrelated to helping people out. Like some $25M for the JFK Performing Arts Center? Really? And for what? Apparently hours after everything went through ...

Re: Can Masks Protect People from The Coronavirus?

Interesting. What about placing it in an oven at low temp, say 120 Deg F? As far as the masks, I should have bought some several months ago. We have a wood shop, and my father-in-law who is 86, forgets to use one and ends up coughing after a few hours. I had no idea they were reusable. Since they w...

Re: Corona Virus

President Donald Trump acknowledged Sunday for the first time that deaths in the United States from coronavirus could reach 100,000 or more, adding that if the death toll stays at or below 100,000, "we all together have done a very good job." Next month, "if the death toll stays at o...

Re: Justice Department requested from Congress the ability to ask chief judges to indefinitely detain people without tri

Remind me of when Rham Emmanuel said “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.” I don't trust govt in general. We seriously need term limits and no more of the crazy perks. People should be wanting...

Re: Corona Virus

Yeah I know NY is bad, but that is how the data was presented by country only. I would be interested to see the same graph based on each state of the union. Hi im from ny and would like to clarify that new york CITY is the hotzone. Most of the outlying counties have very low numbers of cases. My co...

Re: Corona Virus

Well first person I know has the virus. A cousin in South Florida has it. She called it in to her doctor and they didn't waste a test on her because all her symptoms are classic. Because she's mid 50s and in excellent health (she's a fitness fanatic) and not in distress, they had her self quarantin...

Re: Virus themed movies to watch? Here's mine: Andromeda Strain

Definitely watch Contagion, the script writer seeked out expert epidemiologists to make it highly realistic, especially when it came to the science. Dr Larry Brilliant and Dr. Ian Lipkin the main consultants. This week, unfortunately, Dr Ian Lipkin tested positive for Covid 19 this week. I definitel...

That fact that Switzerland (a country that hasn't really been talked about) showed up at the top of the list should be a red flag.

Re: Corona Virus

After the media reported us as having the highest cases, I immediately thought well what is that in relation to the population? Now look at per capita: You started on the right track, but then stopped short at whatever presentation of data would make things look better. Switzerland has a population...

Re: Corona Virus

I wanted to share with you all something I thought about earlier today. If you look at the statistics of world wide confirmed vs deaths, the percentage of deaths is incredibly scary, 4.5%. Crazy high, so of course we try to somehow make sense of it to calm down, maybe say things like, well there's a...

Re: My "President Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines" card arrived

Well the irony is that Trump has contradicted at least half of recommendations in there at one time or another :) The dabate? Two 70+ year old guys, one of which forgets words, one of which confuses words. I agree, the debate should be a riot. I am half hoping they get into physical combat and secr...
