Trump is telling people to stay active in spite of coronavirus because he is worried about recession

and losing the election if one comes. He is afraid people will stop buying, stop going out, stop flying etc. So in a shameless, criminal manor, he is putting his re-election above the safety of the US public. I can't think of any other reason he would say something so insane and we know Trump is ALWAYS about helping Trump period!

I doubt if I even needed to point this out because I think it's pretty clear but perhaps some folks here hadn't thought through why he would suggest something so idiotic?

Thoughts on who might start dropping out after Super Tuesday?

In the past has Super Tuesday traditionally been when candidates who haven't won anything start dropping out? For some reason I just don't remember what happened back in 2008 and 2004.

Disease modelers gaze into their computers to see the future of Covid-19, and it isn't good

At least 550,000 cases. Maybe 4.4 million. Or something in between.

Like weather forecasters, researchers who use mathematical equations to project how bad a disease outbreak might become are used to uncertainties and incomplete data, and Covid-19, the disease caused by the new-to-humans coronavirus that began circulating in Wuhan, China, late last year, has those everywhere you look. That can make the mathematical models of outbreaks, with their wide range of forecasts, seem like guesswork gussied up with differential equations; the eightfold difference in projected Covid-19 cases in Wuhan, calculated by a team from the U.S. and Canada, isn’t unusual for the early weeks of an outbreak of a never-before-seen illness.

But infectious-disease models have been approximating reality better and better in recent years, thanks to a better understanding of everything from how germs behave to how much time people spend on buses.

“Year by year there have been improvements in forecasting models and the way they are combined to provide forecasts,” said physicist Alessandro Vespignani of Northeastern University, a leading infectious-disease modeler.

Larry David - Country Club Interview

Larry pretending to be a Republican. LOL


Larry David is forced to find a new country club for him and his wife since he's not welcome at their old country club anymore. The new country club is a bit to the right so Larry and his wife gives us their most republican appearance....
