    Midnight1 is right about a fake conspiracy theory about the origin of coronavirus.  It wasn't created in a lab according to team of scientists from Columbia university, University of Edinburgh, University of Sydney and Scripp's research institute.  No evidence that coronavirus is genetically engineered.  Actually, coronavirus is the product of evolution.  Since coronavirus is similar to a bat virus, bats are the most likely source.  According to wikipedia, 61% of 1415 pathogens spread from animals to humans.  For examples, ebola, swine flu, influenza, bird flu and HIV.

    Sean Hannity's lawyer asked for a reduction in his sentence but was rejected.

     

    BTW...Provide me 500 billion and in 6 months I'll tell you who I gave it to. What? What's the problem? You want to know now who I'm giving it to? But but but I'll provide the oversight. I promise. Don't you trust me?

    If the federal government really cared about us citizens they would have developed one package for small businesses, hospitals, unemployment as well as local and state governments.

    Then they could have farked around with corporations separately. 

    Keep dreaming huh?

    Trump falsely claims thousands more suicides if US economy remains shutdown due to coronavirus.  No evidence that suicides increase dramatically or surpass potential coronavirus deaths according to American foundation for suicide prevention.  History shows suicides tend to decrease as society pulls together in a national crisis.  A 2017 study found fewer suicides than expected during 2007-2009 recession.  Trump's goal to end social distancing prematurely is dangerous.  According to Kaiser family foundation, relaxing early could backfire and lead to more infections or deaths.  Ilogical since there is no sign of decreasing number of sick cases.  The worst is yet to come as World health organization warns US may become next epicenter of pandemic.

    WOW...FEMA confirms NY has requested emergency mortuary assistance because they are reaching capacity.

    Maybe this also happened during Katrina but I've never heard of a request like this. I shouldn't be surprised because they had similar problems in China & Italy but I still am surprised.

    This is terribly sad.

    My father in law was part owner in a funeral parlor until the 80's when he sold his part. He was responsible for dressing and applying makeup & fixing hair based on a picture the family of the deceased would provide. He told me preparing children was the worst & regularly cried when he did his work.

    He saw so many dead and dismembered soldiers during the war, he became absolutely immune to the horror. He would stand quietly in the funeral home as family members and friends would pay their last respects for the deceased. He stood their stoically never batting an eye or making eye contact with those in attendance which I always thought was cold but that is how he handled the emotion of death.

    Almost immediately after marrying his daughter, he impressed upon me the importance of purchasing burial plots because no one was promised of a tomorrow. I told him yeah, yeah I'll take care of it but never did. At a Thanksgiving dinner, he brought the subject up again nearly 10 years later & asked if I  purchased what he requested. I gave him a bunch of bullshit answers as to why I hadn't & he waved me off only to hand me 2 envelopes both containing a burial plot for my wife and I. He made me promise we would use them & I laughingly told him I didn't think I would have a choice.

    Our kids won't have to worry about this situation because we have all the arrangements made for our burial. We will be buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in Grand Rapids, MI. The son of my father in law's partner now runs the business & each summer we visit with him and his family while attending a minor league baseball game. We have arranged for a "celebration" dinner for all those attending our services.

    I'm sharing this story so that you don't make the mistake of putting off what I did. Losing a loved one is a horrible experience and having them deal with all the burial arrangements will just add to their stress. Many are dying in our country and families will soon be faced with burden. You can make a big difference now by attaining a burial plot unless of course you plan on cremation.

    My point is people will be dying that are unprepared & for the sake of your families, now is a great time to get prepared.

    I'm sharing this story so that you don't make the mistake of putting off what I did. Losing a loved one is a horrible experience and having them deal with all the burial arrangements will just add to their stress. Many are dying in our country and families will soon be faced with burden. You can make a big difference now by attaining a burial plot unless of course you plan on cremation.

    My point is people will be dying that are unprepared & for the sake of your families, now is a great time to get prepared.

    Americans who are eligible for the coronavirus relief cash payments but who *don't already have direct-deposit bank info on file with the IRS "will need to wait up to four months" to get a check.

    I wonder what % of people have their IRS refund checks direct deposited?

    Having to wait 4 months will really hurt some families.

    People in Florida cannot file for unemployment online because the state's website isn't handling the volume of new requests. Phone calls to the agency go immediately to a busy signal causing additional frustration. Hope other states are not experiencing a similar situation.

    The unemployment number in the country comes out tomorrow.  

    Food banks are also having problems meeting the needs of certain communities.

    Time to help others if you can.

    White House national security officials prepared a “pandemic playbook” — a step-by-step guide to ensure testing, check on workers’ equipment, even consider the Defense Production Act. The 69 page report was finished in 2016 by President O's administration.

    The Trump administration ignored it.

    BTW..the bullshit story Trump spewed yesterday about Governor Cuomo refusing to purchase ventilators a few years ago was refuted. You can find the Governor's response online.

    Most cities have left liquor stores open for a sobering reason: to prevent a surge in alcohol withdrawal cases to hospitals when they are already at risk of being overwhelmed with virus patients.

    Now someone was definitely thinking there!

    It also helps people get through the Trump self congratulatory press conferences. He spends about 45 minutes patting himself on the back & about 5 minutes on the experts sharing info with public.

    HARRISBURG, PA — More than half a million Pennsylvanians have filed new unemployment claims during the past week, a record number indicative of the sweeping economic fallout from Gov. Tom Wolf’s statewide shutdown in order to slow the coronavirus.

    As of Tuesday afternoon, the Department of Labor and Industry had received a total of 540,000 new unemployment claims since March 16, when Wolf first announced the closure of all non-essential businesses, according to a state senator briefed by the labor secretary.

     

    I expect this is happening across the country.

    Texas minister Kenneth Copeland, who visited the White House in 2018 for a dinner for evangelical leaders, claims to have a novel delivery method for a coronavirus cure: television screens. 

    Appearing on the Victory Channel, which his church operates, Copeland claimed on March 12 to heal coronavirus-infected viewers who touched their TVs.

    “Put your hand on that television set,” Copeland told his viewers. “Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. He received your healing.”

    A few days later, he said God had told him the pandemic would soon be over, as Christians praying all over the country had “overwhelmed it.” While Christians would save the country, he said, it was the president’s critics who “opened the door” to the pandemic with their “displays of hate” that had interfered with “divine protection.”

    World health organization say the time to act on coronavirus was months ago when countries were warned, but they squandered the opportunity.  Now the US is scrambling to deal with a nationwide shortage of test kits, ventilators, protective gears and hospital beds.  A scramble that doctors and nurses say has come too late and put them with patients at risk.  But according to politico,  government should have begun procuring medical supplies months ago by following 2016 playbook for fighting pandemics.  Obama officials prepared a detailed step-by-step guide for National security council to help government respond to pandemics.  However Trump administration has struggled and lagged behind other countries in handling coronavirus crisis by ignoring this playbook which would have been especially useful.

    pug...these phoney Christian right evangelicals are dangerous & their denial of science will hurt the sheep following them.

    Jerry "Pool Boy" Falwell is one of the worst spreading bullshit as he rakes in the dough. He dismisses the science if it doesn't match his warped view on life. He wants his followers to believe the virus can be eliminated through the power of prayer and that only sinners become infected.

    He attacks the media just like Trump accusing the media of trying to destroy the economy. 

    While all schools are closed & gone to online classes, his Liberty University is inviting students back on campus. Instead he should be protecting the health of the students.

    These phoney evangelicals are nothing more than pseudo Christian racist white trash. Allowing rich people & Christian zealots run the world was tried before. It was called the Dark Ages.

    A Gun Dealer and Range owner is suing Fort Lauderdale stating he's an essential business and should be allowed to stay open. His claim is that many "new" gun owners recently purchased guns and don't know how to use them. The classes he provides are critical to prevent accidents.

    I think I agree with him.

    Proud of my governor for using common sense.My little county of roughly 45000 in the middle of PA has had no confirmed cases yet. But I'm guessing that less than 300 have been tested so far.  It amazes me that their haven't been cases though as the blatant disregard of the trumpers here all feel invincible and believe the nitwit in the WH. They are too dumb and lazy to research for themselves. I live in idiot central.

    CBP (Customs and Border Protection) has 1.5 million expired N95 masks sitting in an Indiana warehouse that it plans to give to TSA, not hospitals or FEMA. The CDC issued guidelines nearly 4 weeks ago for the safe use of past-date masks, saying they remain effective.

    So now you know where TSA employees are on the food chain.

    Rick Wiles says that God is spreading the coronavirus in synagogues because he is "dealing with those who oppose his son, Jesus Christ."

    For all non Trump supporters who don't know this POS, he's a right wing conspiracy theorist pastor from Vero Beach & another example of these dangerous evangelicals spewing this nonsense to followers.

    I find it odd that none of these faith healers have laid a hand on the sick & dying in our hospitals.

    Farking Frauds!

    Last I read the mask were effective. What wasn’t effective were the rubber straps that would degrade overtime.
