Ok. Just learned from an impeccable source that our local

hospital is currently treating a corona virus patient.

BUT...there is nothing on news, Twitter, Facebook, internet, or paper.

Our county supposedly has zero cases.

Makes me think there's hiding going on.

Bet this will be the next corona cluster...

Robert Jeffress, a Texas preacher who has been one of Trump’s most visible evangelical supporters, as of Friday was planning to hold a signing for his latest book, “Courageous,” at his 13,000-seat First Baptist megachurch in Dallas on Sunday.

So, why would Dipshit1 and Dipshit2 not get tested?

Fauci said on MoJoe this a.m. that they should, but he has confidence in their doctors to make that decision.

Is it just that it would show weakness if they had the virus? Markets would plummet more than they have already? (Supposedly trump's biggest concern)

Or did they say no to tests? and the doctors acquiesced and are just monitoring for the slightest symptoms first?

And if they actually did get tested, some lab somewhere is keeping it in the downlow? And they both lied boldface?

And if Trump's a germaphobe, why's he out there shaking hands?

Something's rotten(er) in Denmark.

Dow futures plunge more than 1,100 points as Trump speech disappoints investors
PUBLISHED WED, MAR 11 20206:06 PM EDTUPDATED 26 MIN AGO

Futures contracts tied to the major U.S. stock indexes fell on Wednesday night after an address from President Donald Trump failed to quell concerns over the possible economic slowdown from the coronavirus.

The move comes after the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended its historic 11-year bull market run by closing in a bear market.

As of 11:37 p.m. ET Wednesday, Dow futures were down 1,135 points, implying a loss of 1,095.22 points at Thursday’s open. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures were also sharply lower.

My perfect scenario: Senator Sanders drops out, speaks of unity. Speaks

of defeating the biggest enemy of mankind we know. "We are all Democrats. We are all for caring for the least among us - always, every time.".

"The people have spoken. Joe will lead us to defeating trump. In this time in history that is all that's important."

"We, all of us, will soon see a brighter day, it's on the horizon, where we will see a kinder, more equitable life for every human being. I want to be a big part of that. Please, all my loyal supporters, please join me!"

So NBC just showed a coronavirus US map that was

Way different than any I have seen. Showed 24 cases now in TX. Didn't see any methodology explained from NBC.

Then we see that CDC isn't counting anymore?

From CDC website:
CDC is no longer reporting the number of persons under investigation (PUIs) that have been tested, as well as PUIs that have tested negative. Now that states are testing and reporting their own results, CDC’s numbers are not representative of all testing being done nationwide.


Then I pull up the "sickmap"
https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 This map used to pinpoint specific towns, now entire state - for a huge state precise locales are important.

Also find out that states are not required to report to CDC. Where's Trump's "emergency" orders when you need them.

No way, NO WAY, can Sanders walk back his criticism of Biden

If you watched him on Chris Cuomo.

Guess we are fucked if his supporters sit out in November.

So, so sad that a "Democrat" will cause our defeat. Margins are so thin + tRussian interference.

Oh well, we lived through three and a half, we can live through 8.
(Not a lot of people other than us), nor our government as we know it, but we will survive.
