I don’t understand how it is the federal government can take people’s land for pipelines and border walls, but can’t take a vacant building during a national emergency.

Governments can do a lot - if it's for the profiteers. Not for average citizens.

While greedy and inconsiderate panic-buyers leave shop shelves bare and deprive others of groceries, they are also throwing away tonnes of excess food

Raoult on Jan 21:

"What’s going on, the fact that people have died of coronavirus in China, you know, I don’t feel very concerned. It’s true that the world has gone completely mad: if something happens where 3 Chinese people die and it makes the world news"

Same imbecile on same date:

" Anthropologically, there is always a 'Reason We Are All Going To Die'...De facto, if we look at the numbers, Monday February 24, 2020, there were only 500 new coronavirus cases in the world – these figures do not justify this massive panic."

Dunno what to make out of this, my brain starts to overflow, too much input. System error, wrrr, blah, mööööp.



But I think it is good to see different POVs to make decisions for ourselves. Our so called leaders seem to lead us into the abyss, time to get rid of them.

HUGE @washingtonpost story:

On Feb 5, HHS Secretary Azar requested $2 billion to buy respirator masks & other supplies for the national stockpile

Trump cut that request by 75%

Perhaps USA will become a normal country ... or no country.

We may have legitimate concerns about Chinese data reporting but we need to also honestly acknowledge the incredible progress China made in flattening the COVID-19 curve.

There is hope.

This thing can be defeated.

We just need to act rationally.

There's hope when doctors and scientists have learned a lesson from this.

It's pretty simple. Just separate hydroxychloroquine from the political agendas and character assassinations.
Though I appreciate Richard H. Ebright and his tweets but it's been absolutely clear from the beginning he's liberal/dem and anti-Trump.
They (and Ebright) have all 'decided' to attack, skew, polarize and conflate the SEPARATE issues.
everybody gets their own opinion. I made mine on the science of it long before all this shit storm and mud slinging.
so at least don't be 'confused'....
it simply follows the identical disinformation recipe you have to unscramble/unpolarize on an almost daily basis.
Libs can be just as 'blind' as MAGA people. strue.

These idiots should be condemned as mass murderers and anyone who denies the existence or dangerousness of Covid-19 should make a living will that they do not want any treatment, especially ventilation, in case of infection.

OK, I'm neither ...

I did not get enough sleep tonight "night" (7am-11am), all this is so fascinating, I forget to go to bed. I just have ADD - sensation seeker - adrenaline junkie. My former husband said I was made for times of war and crisis. In crises I function better than when everything is quiet.

My problem here is that on the one hand I have a lot of thoughts - many are "half" ones - about it, after all this is a new experience, like for everyone here. On the other hand it is even more difficult to pass on these thoughts in a sorted and orderly way. And that then in English, which I can only manage about 90% well.

"everybody gets their own opinion. I made mine on the science of it long before all this shit storm and mud slinging.

I trust my fairly good education in biology and what I've learned in the years since then. At least I understand most of what they're talking about, although not every detail. I know at least basically how body cells, bacteria, viruses and the immune system work. 

If only these idiots had no political agenda. As long as science is linked to profit interests, I remain cautious.
