These are the burdens our medical heroes already face in NYC. It's only going to get harder across the country. Another reason to maintain social distancing policies at least until we have comprehensive testing in place. Not just for our sake—for theirs. https://t.co/bwNXhOPMYs

Hello Daaahlin’
FAUCI: “You don’t make the timetable, the virus makes the timetable.”
I agree with a reply – it’s the correct response even if it’s only one bison.
FAUCI also saying the virus will very likely return in the fall or winter (via the southern hemisphere).
Optimistically – we’ll be better prepared by then and hopefully not caught off guard. (The 1918 virus hit the hardest on the return bout.) Another reason we must do everything we can to stop the worst today, now.
My first celebrity crush would have been 89 today. Still missing him.😔🖖🏾

Remembering his performance at 78 years…in the 2009 Star Trek….also that voiceover…

What’s this I am hearing about US wanting to post troops at the Canadian border?
Hearing eye-witness account that Canadians who snowbird in AZ in the winter are now flooding BACK
into Canada. And that major interstates across the west are otherwise clear.
I have heard that Canadian snowbirds are coming back to Canada too … but I still don’t see a reason for US troops along the border unless the US thinks Canadians are going to enter the US en-masse.
Exactly. They are going home.
Next we will hear that Doom has locked himself in a broom cupboard.
Tried 4 times to post today’s unbelievable NY updates….
Important to note: Governor Cuomo said NY is still three weeks out from the peak of crisis.
Cuomo is on the frontline of this war.
How about it VP Biden and pandemic czar Ron Klain?
Please share with anyone who has student loans.

Isn’t this when everything turns to crap? And you’ve got Graham complaining about tax payer money
going to people who need it.
H/T Dudette – up thread …
Good.
She was taken into custody.

I have nothing nice to say about the woman.
I hope they make her pay the cost of the wasted food too… or community service helping those that need real help now. Nasty people need to learn
Good afternoon, TODville! As you know, today is Nancy Smash’s birthday!
Hafta respond:
There was a young speaker called Nancy

Wonderful news! Thanks for posting.

Wonderful….
Excellent news
WARNED FOUR YEARS AGO.
“Obama Cabinet Tried To Warn Trump About Pandemic Preparations Nearly 4 Years Ago”
Fmr DHS Sec Jeh Johnson:
“This pandemic we’re facing right now is a once in a century, unprecedented crisis, but not unpredictable.
And we’ve got a taste of the future with the ebola crisis in the fall of 2014. And so the risk of a lethal virus spreading globally like this has been something that has been and should be uppermost on the minds of DHS officials, health officials across the U.S. Government.
And, in fact, when the outgoing Obama administration cabinet sat down and met with the incoming Trump administration cabinet on Friday, January 13th,
one of the very few things we discussed was how to respond to a lethal pandemic like this.”
(https://www.politicususa.com/2020/03/26/obama-cabinet-tried-to-warn-trump-about-pandemic-preparations-nearly-4-years-ago.html)
1) “He and his administration ignored the warnings about a potential pandemic from the outgoing Obama administration (four) years ago.”
2) “Trump ignored warnings about the coronavirus from the nation’s intelligence agencies for months.”
Heads up South Carolina
RIP Curly Neal of the Harlem Globetrotters
GOOD news:
“The good news for the country is that the state and local governments have the power.
Trump can tantrum, and whine, and hold press conferences, but he can’t force states to lift public health measures, because he sees his reelection campaign as heading for the dustbin of political history.”
King Delusional is at it again:
“In a letter to the nation’s governors, Trump announced that he was changing the social distancing classifications by county”.
“Trump Doesn’t Have The Power To Lift State Social Distancing Orders”
“The classification by county system is flawed because the US still lacks adequate testing, and viruses do not respect borders. Most importantly, Trump’s new guidelines are useless because he doesn’t have the legal authority to impose them. Donald Trump can’t overrule mayors and governors.
(https://www.politicususa.com/2020/03/26/trump-coronavirus-classification.html)
🤞🤞
Republicans love states’ rights, correct? Idiots!
Fraud poseur.
Karma again
I think I’ve been going to the Cheesecake Factory since the early 2000’s. Now comes word that they won’t be able to make rents payments for nearly all the their restaurants which is almost 300. My question is how does a company worth billions that make billions not able to make rent? It’s been about since the order was given to close all restaurants except for takeout and you telling me that these fuckers are about to go out of business? Who the fuck was managing their finances?
*It’s been about one week since the order was given to close all restaurants.
I am a cynic …. ergo I think this is might be about maybe squeezing something out of a bailout or whatever money they can get from the govt , I don’t know for sure but nothing would surprise me. Who knows?
I have never been to their restaurants and will never get a chance to, unless their closure is temporary.
You just might be right about the squeeze, it would make sense. I’m at a lost as to why they can’t make rent, or maybe they can. Maybe as you say, todjey, they might just be trying to get free money.
Not sure everything Fauci said was 100%. Such a great thing to do – congrats!
…got it, STAT.
Booyah! Go Duchess! Go Duchess!
Good for her, I hope she gets back to acting and make a ton of money.

I just heard Stacy Abrams say “Democracy isn’t partisan. We are, we choose sides, but democracy isn’t so we need to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote in November can vote.” So simple. She always is so straightforward. 💙her.
It is rather astounding the amount of Obama Officials who are gracing the airways…in the early days of the Trump administration…they were no where to be found,,,,interesting
Isn’t it??
CBC news mentioned the US plan to deploy guards at the Canadian border.
I believe Trump mentioned something about trade / steel etc … in his press briefing.
CBC mentioned that the US is worried about infected folks from Canada going into the US.
To me, something just not right. I could be wrong of course. Just seems odd.
Employing multiple ways to kill us
Watching RM.. and it finally came to me what trump has set up in the US. THUNDERDOME!!! Fucking sonofabitch
