cilla4progress's JournalWe are going to be like our forbears
who went through the depression in terms of stockpiling and scrimping
It's the eve before an election in the US in 2020,
and we don't even know if they can pull it off.
Unreal.

Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now
Politicians, Community Leaders and Business Leaders: What Should You Do and When?
With everything that’s happening about the Coronavirus, it might be very hard to make a decision of what to do today. Should you wait for more information? Do something today? What?
Here’s what I’m going to cover in this article, with lots of charts, data and models with plenty of sources:
How many cases of coronavirus will there be in your area?
What will happen when these cases materialize?
What should you do?
When?
When you’re done reading the article, this is what you’ll take away:
The coronavirus is coming to you.
It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.
When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.
Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.
I assume everyone here has already seen
this WAPO simulation about social distancing?

It showed up on my Twitter feed...David Hogg retweeting President Obama.
If Bernie damages Biden
in tonight's debate, all my support and loyalty to Bernie through 40+ years will dissolve!
