Sadness.

My son told me he talked to his in-laws in FLA. They're going out to dinner, playing cards with friends. It's like a different world there.

And the governor wants to force quarantine anyone flying in from NYC.

They have it backwards....

Not yet. That was one member of the committee saying that; the IOC as a whole has not made a decision.

A Phoenix-area man is dead and his wife is under critical care after the two took chloroquine phosphate in an apparent attempt to self-medicate for the novel coronavirus, according to hospital system Banner Health.

Chloroquine has been touted by President Donald Trump as a possible treatment for Covid-19, but it's also "an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks," Banner Health said in a statement.

And neither party can get a bill passed to help people. The incompetence all around is staggering.

Now Ainsley whateverhernameis has been pushing the use of this as a quick fix. And ironically suggesting that China help us acquire it.

Re: Covid-19

I don't understand how private companies that don't manufacture medical supplies can begin doing that without having months of preparation to get equipment, supplies and personnel together before turning anything out, especially with sophisticated equipment like ventilators. In any other instance it would probably take 6 months to a year to get a new plant up and running. Rushing production can't be a good thing either...it's not like you were sold a vehicle with all kinds of issues. Would you want a ventilator keeping you alive that was made from a company that was previously only manufacturing thumb tacks?

Re: Covid-19

China's been really good over the last few decades at being able to start up production lines at extremely short notice - lots of European/US companies use them to prototype stuff and fly it over for review. I'm not saying that they're definitely good quality, but I can believe it could help.

Be seeing you,

Lets be fair, you try to get a bill passed to help common people if you had to deal with this current Republican party and that person currently sitting in the WH.

It's good pork but now is not the time to discuss any pork. Just get the money to those who desperately need it and argue about the other things some other time.

What did they try to slip in?
