Iām sick of hearing about how this is Trumpās Katrina moment. This is like Trumpās Cuban Missile Crisis moment, and heās no JFK.
Fuck the message. People need facts and guidance. What about this is so fucking hard to understand? Save the āmessageā for the campaign. Oh yeah, I forgot, every day is the campaign for this fucking guy.

Iāve been saying this for the last 2 weeks. We had a virtual conference today with the UVA big wigs. Amazing how many questions were answered with āwe havenāt really thought that through yet.ā Not esoteric questions, but basics. We have seen this coming, but refused to do anything until it is on top of us. This is what I kept thinking:
This shithead is gonna get people killed
Bonus fact
The āhold your breathā test rumor seems to be spreading faster than the virus. My dad heard that one from a relative, who had claimed it came from the CDC. I sent him the link to the Mother Jones story, and I hope he passes it on. Much to his credit, at least heās not one to take bullshit lightly, and even though heās almost 80, heās kept his mental faculties.
Iām already opting out of thingsā¦ while Iām in generally good shape, I still consider myself high-risk since I had pneumonia twice in the 1990s. One good thing about my not-so-well-paying job is that I and my co-workers can work from home.
Butā¦ butā¦ Trump saidā¦???

@smulder: Spot on about punks v. hippies.
@anon50609448: My county in Michigan just shut down all the public schools (50k-ish kids?) starting tomorrow afternoon until April 6 (or so we hope ).
@GoatCheezInfrno: Iāve had pneumonia twice in the last decade. My 10 year old son has had it twice in the last 4 years. I am a smidge worried.
Sorry to hear thatā¦ itās no fun. I was very lucky that the Biaxin didnāt screw up my gut flora.
Sorry if this was already shared. The additional posts in the thread are even more horrific.
That means OUSD is next, probably.
