It will slow it down, but if their stupidity causes the infection rate to soar, it will certainly bleed across the border.

It seems to be a pretty helter skelter approach.

I suggest if one looks up "Hypocrite" in their dictionary they should find this extreme example.

in consideration of all those d-bags saying, 'just like the flu'... 'the flu kills more'...... a waldo layperson PSA concerning the 'lung eater':

PM says social distancing could last months

In my opinion, if the “social distancing” and “self isolation” is needed for more than a few weeks, I don’t think most people will do so.  I think a lot of people are just too stupid in a variety of ways, whether they hate Trudeau and won’t do what the guvmint tells them, they don’t understand how viruses work, they are young and don’t think it’s a problem for them....   

   I think it’s pretty much inevitable that if this has to last months, it will break down and things will get much, much worse.

Or maybe I’m just pessimistic today.

Thoughts?

I went for a walk with my kids yesterday and even though the city parks are all closed, the playground at my kid's school was pretty busy.  Parents sitting around watching or playing with their kids without a care. 

I don't think enough people are taking this seriously.  Other than going to the grocery store as needed I haven't stepped out anywhere other than walks or bike rides.

On another note, I have no idea how I'm going to handle this if it goes on for very long.  I'm a recluse and not the type to be bothered by not being able to go out, but sitting at home with two kids is so difficult.

Thankful we have a decent backyard and the weather has been nice.  Day one was fun.  Day two was long.  Day three I'm losing it.

I've seen Trump and the Chinese gov go back and forth.  It's more about that, scoring points by verbally undermining your rival.

Trump recently limited the # of Chinese nationals who could work at Chinese media companies because he accused them of being propaganda outlets for the Chinese government.  Then in response China banned a whole bunch of western journalists from China.  Then Trump criticizes China for the COVID-19 virus, then China accuses the US for covertly "planting" the virus on the Chinese people, then Trump starts calling it "The China Virus".

I don't know the exact timeline of the tit-for-tat about, my point is it's a tit-for-tat thingy.

Someone needs to tell that dumb **** it is an American virus now.

He probably prefers the term "Kung Flu". It suits his racist attitude.

Sitting in an RV park just south of Portland tonight watching the Global Covid19 town hall on satellite. Interesting that Dr. Henry said they can identify each strain's origin. Most of our new  cases are now from a US strain.
