Just thought I'd create a thread for updates and discussion on the Coronavirus.  As of right now there's about 120,000 cases worldwide with 4300 deaths. 

The unrealness of all this comes across as a parody.

Theatre director and teacher Wynn Handman, whom Susan Lucci thanked in her Emmy speech, has died from the coronavirus.  He was 97.

I hadn't heard that. So sad. I'm sure she must be very upset as well.

Russia's problems with alcohol over-consumption are being exacerbated by coronavirus, as some mistakenly believe that vodka consumption helps prevent infection. Doctors are preparing for an influx of patients who have coronavirus and alcohol poisoning. Not surprisingly, the rates of domestic violence have jumped in Russia, as the rates are increasing worldwide.

 

 

And didn't Russia legalize domestic violence a few years ago? 

 

Another heartbreaking story:

 

 

The right wing media is pushing these Michigan protests hard, trying to find their latest Brooks Brothers Riot to frighten Democratic governors into backing down.

 

 

 

The WHO had produced 1.4 million tests by the end of February.

We took none of them, because Trump decided to produce his own test, then botched the development and roll out.

It wasn't the WHO that put us in the position we are today. It was our own President.

AFAIC, the media can kiss my fat, gay, black ass.  You think Donald Trump's daily briefings on (his boasting of his "perfect" handling of) the coronavirus are dangerous and shouldn't be televised live or at all?  Well, you knew what you were getting yourselves (and the rest of us) into four years ago, when you provided oxygen to the man's hints, allegations and outright lies.  We are where we are, because, by your estimation, Hillary Rodham Clinton had to be stopped.  So, as Julia Sugarbaker would say, if things haven't turned out as you expected, then you have only yourselves to blame.

Totally true. 

 

  

 

And yes... just like I thought. The trenches were for the indigent and unclaimed bodies.
