    My wife and son both have businesses that receive products from China. The last shipment that arrived for my son (a box full of fabric) contained a plastic zip lock bag full of face masks. I wonder if this was just a nice jester, or a bunch of contaminated masks... reminiscent of blankets with smallpox maybe?!?

    There's likely trouble coming if I am pressured into wearing a mask. I will be going with the Presidential masks though.

    Sickle cell anemia is most common amongst African Americans.
    They also disproportionately suffer from the lifestyle induced diseases.

    The death rate from Kung-Flu has yet to catch up with shootings in Chiraq, so maybe they get an F in antisocial distancing and obeying the Shudder In Place orders too.

    What are the flu numbers for these populations?

    Where are you?

    This has been the totalitarian's dream. I'm so old I remember when Donald Trump was literally Hitler. Your examples are welcome.

    I was at my gym today, cleaning, touch-up painting, and doing a little maintenance around the place while we are closed. While there, I was paid a visit by several state and local police officers. Come to find out, the neighbors decided it was fitting to call the police, and these "heroes" wanted to check it out, just in case, my "non-essential" business was opening without permission from the state. I hope people understand that "snitches get rewards" is the type of shit that has allowed literally every dictatorship throughout human history to function.

    In other news, our governor has decreed that all "non-essential" businesses remain closed until "at least" May 20th, and that date may likely be extended as well. To date, my county has 26 total cases of COVID-19, and our county hospitals are sitting empty, waiting for the impending "overwhelming surge."

    I've heard this same story from at least 5 other gyms around the country. And yet the LVNs keep telling us that "Things will be back to normal soon." 'Fraid not.

    I'm fairly certain that they have not used this time to either pave the roads or fix the ice cream machine at McDonald's.

    Nation State?

    This happened yesterday (forgive me if it was already posted).
    I wonder what other fallout this will cause?
