Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

But it will vanish, viruses wash over and do their worst. They mutate and try again. We've already seen 2 defined strains. Holding healthy people in check is not amplifying the aquisition of immunity, it's delaying it.
I'm with ya, MontyPython is the one who thinks we are doomed.

I seen something yesterday about the virus may be making the same genetic changes covid-1 did before it burned out.

Like knowing what we are stepping into before we shut down the country?

People who manage these outbreaks professionally will generally tell you that if you wait to be right to act, that you will always lose. These viruses don't wait. Now when it comes to shutdowns the consequences of being wrong are huge. I get that. But its just as wrong to be dismissive of the virus' effects as it is to be dismissive of the economic consequences. This is rough. Pandemics are terrible. It's why some people have sounded such loud alarm bells about them.

Tissues. Tissues plus lotion. It's not hard.















Or is it?

I'm ignoring chicken ( Monty Python) little. I live in a different area where we are not piled on top of each other like urban jungles. They are the ones who take the hit because of per capita. Boston will too. That's just common sense.

Wait, with regards to SAR-COV-1, you said:

Isolating a person who is infected is doable (we do it all the time - Ebola, for example) - we had 8 known cases here in the US of SARS-CoV-1. Doable.

Once you have community spread, trying to quarantine/isolate off a chunk of the population who are healthy but at-risk while having everyone else go about normal is incredibly difficult.
 
At this point, I think we should - but we need better strategies for what that means. Good guidance we can unite around. Just going back to full-blown normal seems to be a wanton disregard for the at-risk.

It will be interesting to see what halftime adjustments will be made between this outbreak and the next round of it. Will there be more partisan divide between the States and the Feds? Will we keep paying people more money to stay home than go to work? Will Trump heed warnings to protect the citizens or hedge on the side of the economy if it hits just before the election? Lots of questions about the effectiveness of our government to build off successes and learn from mistakes will be fleshed out.
 
Felony murder is murder 1 in most places. My guess is they’re being charged with felony murder. Not sure what the predicate felony is but kidnapping would qualify in most places.
I read that he was shot on site. Apparently I need to read the updates.
 
This is genuinely, deliciously funny.

You set out to show that Amash isn't ignoring the FBI, DOJ, et al abuse of Trump and staff. Congratulations! - no idea how long it took you to find an obscure tweet he wasn't even the author of, but well done!

Here's where it's gets funny:
(Amash) "...The evidence shows that FISA itself is the problem, not that it was improperly used in only one circumstance, i.e., to go after Trump & Co. The liberty of all Americans is threatened by the surveillance state."

Now, focus for just a moment: that's your proof Amash isn't ignoring the very abuse I describe. Which you now term "Pizzagate level conspiracy theories".

IOW, you proved Amash is engaging in "Pizzagate level conspiracy theories", and agreeing "Trump and Co." were wronged by those very agencies.

Now, aren't you the clever little fellow!
Amash is looking at the big picture. You want to punish the single instance but do nothing to fix the problem at large.

Amash is going after the root problem instead of playing party politics.

You are upset it was used against Trump, and dont care that Trump has supported/used the same tool. Amash wants to remove it for everyone so that no one can use it going forward.
