Seattle area schools are closing. Sorry about your luck, poors who can’t take off work, maybe the little buggers won’t burn the house down.

I just got done climbing with two friends, one’s a teacher at a charter school in south Florida. She was saying their nurses or medical staff or whatever we’re having them tell everyone it’s just like the flu. This is going to be so fucking bad.
What’s going to happen is it’s going to insta-flip from denial to full-blown panic scapegoating immigrants - with one tweet from dear leader. Once he can’t deny and minimize anymore he’s going to look to capitalize on it by cracking down on immigrants and minorities. And his base is going to go absolutely insane backing him.
That is my fear anyway. No politician ever lets a crisis go to waste.

People are saying it arrived in Seattle just about the time their first COVID19 cases were reported.

Democrats always let crises go to waste in the name of not politicizing things. Dems need to get out front on this and be alarmist and risk inducing mass panic. Dems need to get over this whole ego thing about wanting to be perceived as the rational grown-up in the room. That’s why Democrats have always been uneasy with the idea of stoking the fires of populism, because it feels so off-brand to them.

If I get coronavirus, I am going to make it my mission to attend as many Trump rallies as possible. Who’s donating to my Gofundme to pay for my trips?

Started saying this 2 or 3 weeks ago. Pinning the tail on the fucking donkey here is a no brainer. And it’s true in this case, unlike how Republicans usually politicize crises. But furthermore, we need to try something/anything to wake everybody the fuck up while we still have a slim hope of slowing this down.
Nurse: I took care of a patient with the coronavirus. Now I have a fever and other symptoms matching the coronavirus.
CDC: You don’t.
Nurse: I… I have a fever.
CDC: You don’t. YOU DON’T BECAUSE THE CORONAVIRUS IS NOT THERE!
Nurse: My doctor and public county officer verified my symptoms and agree there should be a test.
CDC: Now please tell me how a nurse wearing the recommended protective equipment gets the coronavirus.
Nurse: I don’t know.
CDC: Are you stupid?

Nah, they are afraid to use populism because they don’t actually represent the people. They actually seek to snuff out populism, see what they did to Bernie and in what was just blatant, undeniable evil, Jessica Cisneros.

Can someone take the Trump “no puppet” meme and turn it into “no virus”
I’m about to put my climbing membership on hold. Nothing seems worse than putting my hands all over holds that nasty ass people have touched.
