A person's first thought could be the density of NYC.

For all that said this is "just the flu"
If wasn't so smart I could be all excited my chance of dying from heart disease just went way down!

Covid....Food for thought....

Posted By Mel Maki

The US will need to print a lot of money to support the shut down. Our debt is so large it can't be paid back.
NY is already on the edge and is counting on the virus to give them a financial bailout. If we are not careful this could lead to inflation.

The odds that Biden could speak for five minutes without notes are smaller and smaller.

I'm going out to my shop to do some work.  You can have a conversation with yourself tonight.  Have at it. smile
Maybe Maher can help a few in the PC crowd see some things a different way.

When we look back.....

Posted By Mel Maki

The "expert" Dr Fauci told people in March they could go on cruises. Were they worried about panic while they came to grips with incoming info? Some are comparing the administration to the perfect response.

Did they expect Trump in the middle of the Senate impeachment trial to send Senators home to their districts to shelter in place? Tell voters to not go to polls in S. Carolina and Super Tuesday? Shelter in home?
In Feb. tell people not to go to Easter Services?

The travel ban at the end of Jan. to the economic shutdown in mid March was six weeks. Very few were telling Trump to shut the economy down. The press was busy with election politics.

Well of course, health risks should not go.
I would not go on one if I was the healthiest person on the ship, however. Never looked like a good idea to me.

If Biden doesn't look and sound better than he has I'm still guessing somebody like Cuban will make a lot of noise and Biden will step aside. Look how the campaign is going for him now.
Perhaps his vp will take his spot.

How is it even possible to select people Trump can beat? There are too many Dems that will become very fired up. Once it starts, they will make something happen.

Wuhan Lab Escape Theory Gains Traction

Posted By Mel Maki

It is better to assume China is lying.  Their government would easily detain or kill people that were disagreeing with government statements. 
Are we giving millions to China for this?

The leadership of WHO needs to be changed, also.
We are better off without the present WHO.

One-Million Views in Under Four Minutes

Posted By Mel Maki

The briefings are too long. After 30 minutes the reporters run out of good questions and Trump stays and things degenerate into arguing with reporters working for a gotcha moment. The emotional lady that Trump replied to with, "Enough." is an example.
