Did I miss where President Trump said Drano had been used for a long time and was SAFE to consume?

Here's another problem with what they did (and clearly they are also responsible for being stupid). They ingested the aquarium cleaner version. Who knows what else was in it? If this does prove to be an effective medication, how many people will hesitate because of these two?

Kind of forgotten in the negotiations, and one I would like to see. For the cruise ship industry, no help for foreign flagged vessels. Disney cruises and the rest who fly "flags of convenience" should petition those countries for economic help.

Sadly, without those steps, 59,936,000 could have played the game . . . And that's the issue. We will never know if we over reacted. We will know if we under react. If only a few thousand people die in this country and a hundred thousand people are ill, a group of people will believe it was only an existential crisis and say "look at all we did and this was all that it really was"! Still others will believe that our actions "flattened the curve" and averted a real crisis. No one will know for certain.

I'm wondering what it could look like in terms of scheduling if fans were not in attendance. No need for teams to travel as much. They could designate five stadiums to host games with six teams assigned to each stadium at a time. Play a round robin schedule of 20 games each with three games played per day then rotate teams after all the games are played. It's basically a TV show at that point. Pick five stadiums within a reasonable driving distance and they could avoid all air travel.

As the most powerful person on the planet the president of the United States's words are carefully reviewed by everyone from the Kremlin to the kitchen. When the president speaks, It's a platform that should be treated with a great deal of respect, caution, and diligence because it wields a tremendous amount of power and influence. That platform is greater than the person holding the office. It does not appear to me that Trump believes the office is greater than he is. Some call it respect for the office, I'll just call it an awareness. Middle of the night tantrum tweets are beneath the office. Mocking handicapped people is beneath the office. Repeating speculation and internet memes is beneath the office. But his support base is anti-establishment and that's how they discuss the issues. He's being true to the people that put him in office.

After 58 years on this planet revolving around the sun it is obvious to me that people would buy it and try it. It would have been better to not mention the drugs specifically.

I understand wanting to open the doors. Hell, everybody wants to get back to normal. In theory I even like allowing state and local governments to make decisions for their local areas. But the feds should be the most pessimistic.

With two teachers here trying to work from home we needed to create two spaces. Plus I created a video or audio recording space that my wife ignores. I wanted to have a space with a nice background. I had multiple doctor appointments scheduled over the next few weeks and it's interesting how they are now trying to limit unnecessary appointments. Makes me wonder why they were so insistent on these follow up visits when they first scheduled them. My ophthalmologist wants to see me twice a year or will not renew my prescriptions - until now. How much time and money have I wasted?

?

Can anyone put this in plain English? They aren't actually voting on THE bill, but on a shell bill . . .

You can't be the smartest person in the room if you agree with the majority.

I'm usually not a conspiracy theory, paranoid type but I wonder how much our government is not telling us to avoid bigger panics. Probably they aren't holding anything back but . . .

That was my first reaction. At this point I wouldn't rule out anything.

The senate debate is simple -- donors or voters? Give money to corporations and trust it will help people or give the money to the people and trust it will help businesses.

Damn, sorry to read that.

What makes that subpopulation different is they have the economic means to travel and they come into contact with people who have traveled. Would you agree that they may be the worst case scenario group (other than people whose job it is to come into contact with the virus)?

Not only are there the permanent residents but there are also the part time residents who are now returning "up north". Basically Florida receives the "snow birds" east of the Mississippi river, Texas receives the "winter Texans" from west of the Mississippi. Most left before Spring Break descended in early March. At least one couple tested positive while here.

Every country is unique, yet we have almost every country stats here. I'm not certain if, or how, this thought may be relevant, but we could pull out of our population the exact match for Italy. It would just be a subset of our much bigger population. Kind of like the geographical equivalent of fitting Italy into a map of west Texas.

Italy came up with $28B for mostly guaranteed loans for businesses and direct aid to out of work employees. I'm not following how that killed thousands. Was there some other stimulus/bail out they needed to do and didn't?

It looks like they were being a little rough with him.

Of the aid that may or may not pass I'm hoping for some sort of substantial student loan forgiveness. The last I read was $10,000 per student. I like it because the hardest hit workers will be the 25 to 35 year olds who owe the most. The economy will need them to recover the fastest. That revives housing and a host of other industries while strengthening families.

I just finished watching the 9th inning of Buerhle's perfect game. I still get excited. What's your favorite?
