rubin realllllly interested in a new holy crusade

cdc people saying 

• covid-19 reaching pandemic criteria soon
• outbreak is very likely
• community transmission is expected
• becoming a community virus is likely, meaning it *doesnt* go away

hopefully the 2% death rate is based on skewed data, and we can get it lower. still, fuck. 

would be nice if vaccine turn-around were "fairly quick" as trump says. but experts say the projection for a vaccine is 12 months+

First transmission with no identified origin is happening where I live, oh boy :p

I'm really starting to wish I would have plunked down for this, now...

america is fucked. a bunch of workers showed up to move around quarantined people and none of them had training or protective gear and weren't told about what they needed to do. 

also,  the tests the CDC sent out to all 50 states were flawed and they were told not to use them.  

but  mike  pence is probably praying so it'll all be fine.

Did anyone hear the press conference this morning? It was basically trump and a bunch of his stooges licking each other’s balls and congratulating trump for saving the world... while telling the world to prepare for a pandemic.

There were two well respected scientists saying “we need to be prepared...” etc etc. followed by good info.

Trumps only concern was the stock market. That’s all he talked about. And he tried to blame democrats.

Meanwhile...

FACT: if you wear a red MAGA hat and watch fox news all day, the coronavirus will not get you. it only goes after dems and foreigners.

donnie's like the coronavirus whisperer...he can will it on his enemies...

with all the crazy political shit these days, i have to admit the thought crossed my mind of using some sort of a weaponized intentionally affected carrier to try to get close to the presidential candidates (who happen to be quite old on both sides). god i hope not.. but im not usually one to think up fucked up schemes like this so im sure im not the first to think about it

Team Virus 2020 needs more super-carriers, please join us.

I'm probably not going to survive this outbreak due to poor lung and heart health. I wish a full and speedy recovery to everyone who gets infected.

All DIY shops near me are sold out of face masks cos of this, I discovered. ( I needed one for actual DIY...ended up just pulling my t shirt over my nose and mouth)
