How does the choice get made? Who oversees the choice? Who manages implementation of the choice? You need to offer something to replace what's here.

Maybe it's the sausage. I had breakfast in a German airport and it was all sausage. Ten different kinds of sausage. Actually, they're proposing that it might just be the care that the sick people are getting. The hospitals aren't full and they were ready. Some expect the numbers to go up as they get over-run. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/22/germany-low-coronavirus-mortality-rate-puzzles-experts

You're still talking about distance. "Local". What is the magical distance, the break-even distance? If the Walmart is 20 miles away instead of next door is that okay? What your locality needs is Federal assistance, it sounds like. And, the remedy for you is to vote the bad local government out. Get out the vote. Make some noise.

I've been mulling a theory that the virus actually came from people that let their dogs lick their face. It's plausible, I think.,

Wouldn't be a surprise to find that Trump has been exposed to Rand Paul and they're trying to get him to quarantine. Crazy times. You know the press is going to ask, and it's a reasonable question. Here we go, the podium is loading up with the usual suspects. The President arrives... Really weird that Trump just has to be the one that reads the piece of paper. Bizarre. Pence has the look of somebody watching his boss take credit for all of his hard work. Watch his face. Some of us have been there. Pence is going to get caught, his mask is slipping... Trump is done and he just burned Pence. Ignored him completely and brought up the FEMA guy instead, who has been a complete BS'er from the beginning. Looks like Fauci is out too. Fauci and Pence were both getting great reviews and being compared to Trump. So they have to be diminished. There's a new guy, Navarro, who seems like another BS'er. Get rid of the guys that know and bring in the BS. And the brown-noses... Pence did get to speak and he sounded even more human than usual. It's a transformation. He's a real person. Taking questions but Trump has to BS for a while first. He seems to be as orange as I've ever seen him. The more he talks the more you realize how little there is in there. It's incredible, as he himself would say. Trump just copied Cuomo almost verbatim. "If it would save one life". In Trump's brain the problem can be simplified down to things like hand sanitizer. Now he's talking about he gave up his $450,00 salary. I think he has forgotten what the meeting is about. Now he's talking about "trying" new things on the sick people. No testing. "We have thousands of sick people we can try these things on". He doesn't understand medicine. The Surgeon General shows that he is a BSer also. Asked if undocumented people can be tested without fear, he BS'ed completely around it. Not even close to answering. Pence steps up and gives a real answer. Don't know if he can be believed though. The press is down to the dumb questions. Can't believe that some of these people are journalists. Now it's down to Trump talking about Trump. Signing out, can't watch any more...

It's hard to have a discussion about these things unless you decide beforehand what the final result is supposed to look like. Many people and politicians see things as a competition with winners and losers and they just want to be sure that their side wins. Others try to find a way where everyone wins. I think that is the basis of most political problems, they're talking about different goals. Your argument above is really just about distance, 600 feet versus 600 miles. But in the end it's the same thing. One is just more obvious.

You seem to be arguing both sides. The guys that are buying up the stock then reselling it at higher prices are setting price "commensurate with the demand". Economics is hard.

I think that Trump wanted to announce the final deal but it got delayed. They need to iron out the details... No update today apparently.

Germany is the country where people wait for the walk signal at 2 am, with not a car in sight or sound. I've seen it, it's true.. More Tweets about another Senator quarantining. Apparently Rand aAul continued going to the gym even though he had been tested, and eventually came up positive. Leadership...

Another presser at 1:30 west coast time, apparently. 25 minutes. Worth a watching, I'm sure. Things are already getting back to normal. R's and D's can't agree so nothing is being done on the final stimulus/bailout/recovery bill. Arguing over how many people should be allowed to die, probably, and making sure nobody gets a handout. Making sure they don't get any blame on them.

Things like this might be the real "game changer" as far as what types of action are taken. Interesting development. p.s. I'm not for or against Rand Paul, specifically, and am not promoting any of the tweets and retweets. It's just the world we live in today. The news is on the official Rand Paul Twitter feed. I found it in the "normal" media.

I've been reading a lot of new (like not old) media, magazines and web sites that I've never heard of before. Found this article, from the left side, that might explain why the state leaders are working so much harder than the Fed side. Why California and New York are taking such drastic measures. They might know more than anyone wants to say. I can't imagine somebody making up all of the details in the story. Looks like real news. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/03/lung-fluids-coronavirus/ https://www.motherjones.com/author/lizzie-pressler/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Jones_(magazine)

That is a good article. Not much actionable in it, but good reading. I think that he overstates "hysteria". It's the chicken/egg thing. If the media reports hysteria, is it media hysteria or real hysteria? I don't really get a feeling of public hysteria from what I've seen. Just a lack of useful information to guide people. The empty shelves have all filled back up. I just went shopping this morning, just to get ahead of a possible state-wide shutdown. Got everything I expected. No problems. We just need some good foresight and direction from the people that run the show. The government. As he states at the end, we need to remember how this whole mess was allowed to develop. Listening to 50 different leaders and trying to figure out who to believe doesn't instill much confidence. Thanks for posting that.. I haven't read a Tyler Durden article in years.
