I'm starting to get pretty worried about the neighbours, guys.  We knew it's gonna be ugly, but this level of ugliness is exceeding my expectations.

They're going to be like Italy/Spain with the way their exponential growth curve is going but with 6 times the population.  Add in their federal leadership and national divide to exacerbate the regional divides and they may end up worse than Italy/Spain.

Hopefully we can get them.

The first 1500 or so are apparently to start arriving next week.

They already reached Italy/Spain daily death numbers today.  France will be there as well in a couple of days.

I know, I mean per capita.  They have 6 times the population of Italy and their curve just began.  :(

This could sink Trump.  Then again, they re-elected George W. Bush.

the latest azz-covering play has Trumpists blaming impeachment for Trump's lack of early action on the COVID-19 outbreak... blaming Democrats; in particular targeting Speaker Pelosi for 'interfering with Dear Leader's ability to react' - anything to deflect away from Trump's incompetence, dithering and outright refusal to listen to those experts who informed early in late December/early January!

U.S. Senate Majority leader Turtle McConnell had one of the more indirect 'nuanced' statements:

And it came up while we were tied down on the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government, because everything every day was all about impeachment.

somehow, through all that claimed impeachment deflecting period:
- Trump held multi-state rallies on Jan 9, Jan 14, Jan 28, Jan 30, Feb 10, Feb 19, Feb 20, Feb 21, Feb 28
- Trump golfed on Jan 18, Jan 19, Feb 1, Feb 15, Mar 7, Mar 8
- Trump attended large gatherings at his "Winter White House Mar-a-Lago" March 6-March 8: RNC fundraising event; "a working dinner" with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and a birthday party for Junior's girlfriend

using the common seasonal flu as a comparative measure, on numerous occasions Trumpy downplayed the severity and lethality of COVID-19... and hyped false treatment options while also claiming a vaccine defence was just a short period away:

When you think about it... this is actually the kind of thing that could have larger implications in terms of political stability.  Do you think the Reichstag Fire was a big event compared to this ?

is the deepDeepState, the deeperState... smart enough to have planned (and if not planned outright, then leveraged), a like "COVID-19 fire" event to subversively bring forward



cause there's no way Trump could use a national emergency to extend his presidency/admin - nah, could never happen!

We were in a meeting today where an advisor to our CIO spoke and said he was worried about border security.
