If no president could do substantially better than Trump here, where people are fired and discredited for trying to trying to keep people from dying of coronavirus, then how would we have done any better with coronavirus if it had started in, say, Atlanta instead of Wuhan? Given your opinion it would have gone pandemic about as quickly in the US as it would have in China. We wouldn’t have done much better in Atlanta. But we also wouldn’t have systematically silenced doctors, reporters, people on social media from telling the world SHIT IS GOING DOWN HERE! For at least six +++++ing weeks! The entire world would have had their oh shit moment months earlier, tens of thousands of lives could have been saved. Entire economies might be function with a higher degree of normalcy that would then allow everyone to lean on each other more broadly, to combat this thing more effectively. Its a +++++ing global tragedy that this broke out in China instead of America. Before the world developed nuclear weapons, nations and people’s went to all out war for less than what China did to Italy. 3 Quote We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch.

Del Scorcho Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Quote SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean officials on Friday reported 91 patients thought cleared of the new coronavirus had tested positive again. Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), told a briefing that the virus may have been “reactivated” rather than the patients being re-infected. South Korean health officials said it remains unclear what is behind the trend, with epidemiological investigations still under way. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-southkorea/south-korea-reports-recovered-coronavirus-patients-testing-positive-again-idUSKCN21S15X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hasn't flattened beneath the capacity of hospital beds, we keep taking more extreme measures. If it's flattened below our capacity then that's what we want.

When I was a young adult, we would take the car and get in line at 6:00 am to purchase 10 gallons of fuel while conforming to the license plate odd / even rules. At 7:00 am they would sell fuel to the public after police and emergency vehicles were allowed to fill up between 6-7 am. Now we get in line 6 am to buy toilet paper at Costco. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price war on the world market and low demand because no one is driving. I filled up last week, the day before oil prices going back up, at $1.31/gal with my grocery store rewards ($0.10/gal cheaper), I haven't seen prices that cheap in I don't know how long. That being said, 30 years? You might be off a little bit, because I remember gas prices under $1.00/gal in the late 90s up to 9/11. Either that, or prices in Idaho must have been more expensive than in California at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not their family car. He said they didn't drive it much during that period. I was a starving college student and drove a death trap Pinto. Although it was a major POS, it was great for that time. Got like 30 mpg and once when it ran out of gas waiting in one of those lines, my buddy and I just pushed the thing half a block. 3 Quote Boom goes the dynamite.

NYC has several every year that are buried in that place. There's just more unclaimed/unidentified people now but they're being documented and buried in separate caskets and somebody can go back in later and claim them. NYC will then dig up where they're buried and transfer them to a cemetery..
