While we are physically isolated, we connect as we can over media. Players in the Star Trek Fleet Command game flew their spaceships into a heart of condolence for the leader of their group whose son died. A lovely tribute.

Americans need to know date certain when this will end. The uncertainty for businesses, parents and kids is just not sustainable.

What kind of person goes along with their Party calling something a hoax while they dump millions in stocks because they know they're lying?

@Strongeaspoop First, don’t travel unless it is essential. But Amtrak is fine. Have her get a roomette. She can get meals delivered to her room, because walking on a moving train can be tricky. The view is better on an upper room, but if she has mobility issues, ask for a lower.

Pandemic from the viewpoint of the 0.01%

Stock market crashes so we can buy up huge quantities of stock at bargain prices.
Lots of old people die, reducing the pension funding requirements of lots of companies. Companies will have more cash to distribute to stockholders.
Win!!!

Woah! This is what the government it trying to avoid!

We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.

When McConnell and Senate Republicans were trying to pass tax cuts for the rich, they worked through the night, bent the rules, and rammed it through.

When the country is facing a pandemic that threatens the lives of millions, they’re not even in town.

Before TrumpWorld tries to memory-hole this... a Thread -->

January 22:
Trump: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

February 2:
Trump: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”

Thank you for reminding us of the good old days when we had sane, intelligent leadership.

May those days come again!

Protect yourself and your community from coronavirus with common sense precautions: wash your hands, stay home when sick and listen to the @CDCgov and local health authorities. Save the masks for health care workers. Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science.

[Mike from Michigan @MikeDarnell52]

Agreed. At this point, Biden is the most viable candidate. My primary vote goes to him. Of course, I’m voting for whoever the Democrat candidate is.

@MysterySolvent Hopefully he will campaign for the eventual candidate. I hope he runs for Senator. Some more experience and he will be a good candidate for President.

[Mike from Michigan @MikeDarnell52]

@DearAuntCrabby How could anyone blame Trump for the virus in America? Just because he “fired the government’s entire pandemic response chain of command, including the White House management infrastructure. “

I wish some people were as unsettled by white nationalists as they are by democratic socialists.
