No that's in reference to outsourcing all of our production including pharmaceuticals. He may be orange but he's been checked for webbed feet. 😁

My BFF, who is a surgical tech, recently told me that a woman in her facility who handled all the drugs coming from China, was out for most of December with a lingering 'cold'. She was out 3 weeks and they were playfully 'busting her balls' about it, though now they think she had COVID19 and she's getting tested for the antibodies.

It's gotten out of hand and we actually have people here who think it's a great idea.👎

It is mostly not happening except for citizens of the country. Trump's little move here is highly symbolic. It won't matter much at all if anything to either jobs or COVID. I'm not against it mind you but...

I'm neither leftist nor rightist, I'm only for the truth, but John and myself are both supporters of Liverpool Football Club so I give him more merit than most pundits. LFC = Life. Footy = religion. We've conquered all of Europe. We're never gonna stop. From Paris down to Turkey. We've won the effing lot. Bob Paisley and Bill Shankly. The fields of Anfield Road. We are loyal supporters. And we come from Liverpool! Allez! Allez! Allez! Oh please. You've never ever even won one Prem title.

April 23, 20205 yr https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reason-video/id1155623327?i=1000472326529 Good discussion about the paper linked below. https://freopp.org/a-new-strategy-for-bringing-people-back-to-work-during-covid-19-a912247f1ab5 Quote Executive Summary A quasi-consensus has emerged among many policymakers and commentators that the U.S. should continue to close schools and non-essential businesses until coronavirus testing and immunity is widespread. But there is a significant possibility that we are many months, if not years, away from meeting these thresholds. Time is of the essence, given the severe human cost of a prolonged economic shutdown.
April 23, 20205 yr More Suicides Than COVID-19 deaths Only the beginning. This while politicians promise more pain. The people must be traumatized enough until they welcome a China-style command structure. The lemmings will line up for the Gates Traccine.
April 23, 20205 yr We're being told in the UK social distancing measures to be in place for the remainder of this calendar year and likely until a vaccine is found.

April 23, 20205 yr https://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2020/04/23/coronavirus-pennsylvania-gov-wolf-unveils-three-phase-approach-to-reopening-state-amid-covid-19-pandemic/ PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — It’s a three-part plan geared at reopening the economy in the Philadelphia region. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has unveiled a color-coded approach to getting the state back to business safely. Gov. Wolf is laying out a three-phase plan to reopen the state. "We will not just be flipping a switch and going from closed to open and ultimately the virus is going to set the timeline not us,” Wolf said. Right now, the entire state is in the red phase. We are under a stay-at-home order and only life-sustaining businesses are open. The plan is for parts of the state’s Northwest and North Central regions to move into the yellow phase on May 8. Many restrictions would remain in place but in-person retail would be allowed curbside, daycare would reopen and gatherings would be limited to 25 people. "The initial benchmark we are setting is for the population to have an average of less than 50 cases per 100,000 individuals over the course of 14 days in order to return to work,” Wolf said. Based on Philadelphia’s population, that would mean fewer than 792 new cases over a 14-day period. Southeastern Pennsylvania is still a long way from moving into the yellow phase and even father from the final green phase where aggressive mitigation orders would be lifted. "We’ll be rolling this out just as we closed down in a phased way, we’re gonna be reopening in a phased way,” Wolf said.

Not the worse plan in the world but I’d like to see them allow construction, landscapers, and similar businesses to open sooner than later.

Although the governor is nothing special in my book, I liked that he had a plan and the timeline will be set by the virus.
April 23, 20205 yr most repugs hate wolf...most dems like him....go figure. anyway, i think he's doing a fine job & wisely shut things down early on. opening things back up in waves makes perfect sense, imo. unfortunately, there's one hot spot in the very southern part of the county i live/work in...so i don't expect us to be among the first areas back up & running.
