Just get the shit over to us!
Just calm down, Rod. You're going to be OK. I realize that this situation is aggravating your TDS. Just sit in a darkened room for about an hour with no distractions; it'll help you to put everything in perspective.šŸ˜‰

Rod, It's my understanding that these infections andĀ deaths are concentratedĀ in certain regions of Italy. Why that is the case, if true, is an interesting question.

Rod, are you sure that entire thing wasn't staged and scripted?Ā

As long as Trump is using official CDC mailings about coronavirus prevention guidelines to campaign for office. As long as Trump keeps gaslighting us about when testing will be widely available, and when hospitals and frontline health workers will have the supplies they need. As long as Trump continues to ignore the experts and instead demand outrageously effusive praise as the benchmark for influence in how we respond to the coronavirus as a nation. As long as Trump is doing little more than providing us with inept leadership, I don't want to hear a single word about who is fit for duty.
James, it looks like your TDS is flaring up again.sadĀ I hope you are at least preparing yourself mentally for his reelection in November.smile

Rod, you may have been one of 300,000(?) tuning into that farce. I'm sure it must have been quite inspiring.sleeping

He definitely needs to wean himself from CNN. Doesn't it have about 600,000 viewers during prime time? He'd be better off sitting in a dark room reflecting on the circumstances of his lifeĀ than getting a daily dose of the mindless drivel that CNN pumps out 24/7.

Rod, considering how slimy the Democrat Party is, I'm quite certain that they will use this the situation to undermine Trump if they think they can.

And you would do better than just to offer little more than tweaks or digs about how Trump is going win re-election while ignoring what is on fire around you.
James, it is definitely to your credit that you do not watch those. smile

I don't consider my thoughts about Trump winning reelection as a tweak or dig. When you look at the pathetic group of candidates that the Democrat Party had vying for the nomination at one time, any sensible person would assume that Trump should have no problem getting reelected. The present situation certainly has not undermined Trump's base.

If the best that the Democrat Party can do is to drag out semi-senile Joe Biden for their nominee, good luck with that. I'm realistic enough to realize that it's not a slam dunk for Trump even against Biden, but if I was forced to bet, I see no reason to question Trump's reelection.

Perhaps these people are bringing the infection in from their travels to New York and California. Though the answer is critical, Fusco said only systematic study that may take months will clarify the reason for Louisiana's sudden nearly overwhelming epidemic."

Interesting article, Rod. One thing that I doubt is correct is the part about NO locals. They may leave during Mardi gras, but I seriously doubt many are going to NY or CA; the typical New Orleanian rarely ventures that far away; maybe Gulfport MS.šŸ˜‰
