Cuomo, right now, would win in a landslide.

He will come back better than before - he'll be able to crush Yeti coolers with his refurbished arm.

His bunker mentality strategy is brilliant. It makes his followers feel smarter than anyone else. It's borderline cultish behavior but absolutely brilliant in it's execution.

Is anyone else seeing an uptick in "busy work" at work? Damn, it's like my athletic department opened a file of "if we have time lets . . ." projects.

On the music front a good friend of mine performs on South Padre where he and his wife happen to own a restaurant. He was playing for customers who would stay in their cars while waiting for their take out. The city shut down his playing because he was "drawing a crowd". The next day he had zero take out orders.

Great question. My first take is those clubs that are "labors of love" for an owner may not survive. I'm thinking of a couple places I remember where the owners wanted to break even while supporting local musicians. What are you thinking?

I'll be pessimist. Are they running out of beds? When supply starts to shrink decisions change. Someone who was hospitalized on Sunday may not have been hospitalized if they came in on Tuesday.

I like the seven inning double header idea.

Reacting to the changing work place is important. My school district announced they would be paying our substitutes while we were distance learning. That made me very happy.

Like individuals, I wanted to see corporate help limited to US corporations, disallowing items like cruise ships that fly flags of convenience. Now I hope the oversight committee considers how many US citizens that the company employees and the likelihood of them continuing to employee US citizens.

It's what they can negotiate at this point. Earlier reports claim the CBA calls for number of games in the season. Which to me means credit would include a year that they play the required number of games but the playoffs or WS are canceled.

A friend of mine from high school posted this video and commented at least it's Cubbie blue. I responded that Cubbie blue usually isn't good for preventing choking.

I try to be consistent and think down the road, could I say the same thing when it's a Dem.

Is there an incentive for hospitals to under report? I can't think of one, there probably isn't, but nothing surprises me.

While an argument could be made that football is now America's sport, I think as a moral boost mom, baseball, and apple pie would be bigger. Outside in the sunshine with a beer and hotdog.

Graduation that year was interesting. We bowed as we crossed the stage. And, can't we strive to do better?

There are also a large number of retirees and "work from an internet connection" employees who have created America enclaves in low cost countries like Mexico.

I'm all for a careful study of ramping back to work. It seems plausible that we could start with workers who are least at risk and move to the most at risk instead of waiting for it to be safe for the most at risk group.

I'm not certain I would agree with that. I believe sports could be a big part of bringing back normalcy. It's one of those uniting events.

Do you believe that the President of the US has a greater responsibility in what he says than anyone else?

OK. I should have been more specific. Did I miss where President Trump said sodium hydroxide had been used for a long time and was SAFE to consume. That would be more accurate to what he did.

Which brings up something I hadn't thought of. I assume that US citizens living abroad who file US tax returns would receive a stimulus check as well?
