That makes sense. Ty! I forget also Kindle has an option to auto convert any documents or PDFs into Kindle-ready files if you email the file to your Kindle email address.

If I’m annoying people with these updates I’ll stop. Disneyland Paris is now closing as well. All Disney parks worldwide will be closed by Sunday.

Generally, I wouldn’t expect a reporter to name a source who’s a whistleblower on a major fucking scandal.

In all seriousness, Vegas has to close at this point, right? Over/Under? Saturday?

He didn’t even quote anyone directly.

OK, he’s probably just lying.

Patiently waiting for “teh market” to fix the criminal lack of testing in the US.

It’s almost like Libertarianism is complete and utter bullshit… :thinking:

Over, Monday. Squeeze out one more weekend and then shut it down when everyone has flown out by Monday AM.

That’s generally what I think reporters are doing when they use mealy mouthed bullshit phrases like “my understanding” followed by some news analysis based on blind quotes or, seemingly in this case, not even blind quotes.

Link? That’s good to know.

Libertarianism is the worst religion.

OK, to the trash heap with it and all the other evidence that would contradict your assumption of nothing but pure incompetence. Meanwhile, the evidence that Trump wasn’t dictating things is… just that you reject the evidence that he is out of hand.

All the “libertarians” I know in Oklahoma are closet Republicans who “didn’t vote for Trump”. They sure love the tax cuts and liberal ownage, though.

"Dear OCBA Member,

As you can imagine, the Orange County Bar Association staff and leadership have been following the COVID-19 situation, which has now been labeled a global pandemic. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been preparing for the possibility that in-person events may be infeasible for some period of time. We believe that time is now. Based on recent recommendations from federal, state, and local health agencies, we have decided that the OCBA will postpone all in-person events scheduled to be held in March."

Man, this is going to result in some crazy legal stuff. Many contracts will be cancelled or significant payments missed, many force majeure policies will be invoked, many claims will be made on insurance or re-insurance companies. We are going to see an experiment take place along the lines of “what if society just shut down.”

The courts are going to be dealing with this stuff for a decade.

Right, because Trump deliberately sabotaging the testing effort makes no sense at all. So you’d need some compelling evidence to show that is what happened. Not a journalist saying that’s “his understanding” without actually telling us what evidence he’s basing that on.

That list of EPA approved CV-19 disinfectants that was posted earlier. If you click on an individual product, the approvals are all (or mostly, I didn’t look at each one) dated before CV-19 existed. So EPA has to be making assumptions. But I think it’s pretty safe to assume that whatever mechanism kill one type of coronavirus should kill them all. (Disclaimer: I’m not a biologist and I sometimes wonder if I’ve recently suffered a stroke.)

There are 27 senators over 70, only 11 are Republicans. But four of the five who are 80+ are Republicans (but Feinstein the oldest). 39 senators are 60-69, 17 Dems and 22 Republicans.

Problem for them is, they’re the ones shaking hands with all the people who think it’s a hoax.
