I have my fingers crossed that the news from China not having any new domestic cases of virus. I know we can't always believe their government but others have said there response to it has been effective. Of course they have more ability to corral/control their population that other countries. I bet there aren't a lot of young folks running around their beaches.

For the first time since the coronavirus outbreak started, China has reported no new domestic transmissions of Covid-19, a major milestone in the country’s fight against the pandemic.

China’s national health commission said on Thursday there were 34 new cases, but all were recent overseas arrivals. In Hubei, the Chinese province where the outbreak began, there were no new cases of any kind during Wednesday.

{per Daily Beast} 4 U.S. Senators RatBastards {Republican}... and counting!

after receiving private late January/early February briefings on the COVID-19 virus (with at least one of the meetings classified), through public filings, 4 U.S. Senators have been revealed to have sold significant stock holdings:

- Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) => sold between $582,029 and $1.56 million of stock holdings on Feb. 13 in 29 separate transactions

- Senate Health Committee, Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) => between January 24 and February 14, Loeffler reported selling stock jointly owned with her husband worth between $1,275,000 and $3,100,000. The fifteen stocks that Loeffler reported selling have lost more than a third of their value, on average, since their sale date

- Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) => at least $5 million in stock sold

- Armed Services Committee, Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) => up to $450,000 in stock sold

Ok, but someone who is semi-knowledgable also indicated to me that their extreme version of lockdown won't be achieved in our society.

The numbers of infections and deaths keep growing and Trump keeps stumbling around like a bull in a China shop as he continues to lie his ass off as to what is happening, and the severity of the advance of this outbreak. The millions of protective masks he suggests are available, aren't. And I'm not quite sure I trust his selection of a medical expert either, Dr. Deborah Birx, as she seems to be trying to paint a rosy picture of a very serious situation simply to please Donny. Various state governors have taken the bull by the horns and ordered lock downs to keep people home whenever possible. Closing the Canada/US border is probably a good idea at the moment, as much as it will hurt the economy. The one bit of good news I hear is that China has claimed no new community spread cases for the last two days. Let's hope they are telling the truth, unlike Trump.

I was just over at my local shopping mall grocery store for a quick shop. Toilet paper they had, bread not so much. The normal crowd #'s for this time of day were way lower. A thought came to mind about what it would be like if I was sitting up in the International Space Station hearing al this news looking down at the planet. I think I'd volunteer for another hitch.
