Why do you think I asked? I don’t want Trump. I’ll vote for Biden.

So, they would rather have Trump?

What does a large purple animal have to do with this?

Is that what Qanon told you?

OMG....it’s collusion.

The chances of someone getting injured mostly sitting on the bench for 1 or 2 games is pretty slim.

Yep. Hawkeye fan.

How are tour Hawkeyes doing?

I saw Vedral play in HS at the Heartland Hoops Classic. At that time, he could hang with some pretty dang good players.

True, if it weren't for me being around so many people last week. If that weren't the case, I wouldn't be staying away from them as much. I live in a small town in central Nebraska. The vast majority of the population here doesn't travel anywhere.

Conversation just now with my Brother-in-law. He's an accountant and does my parent's taxes. He was at the same convention last week that I was. Me: Hey, just so you know, you should get a hotel room next week when you come. I told my parents I'm staying away for two weeks. BIL: OK...I'm not sure if you're serious. I need to talk to them about their taxes. Me: Yes, I am. I'm not one that's panicked. But, I believe we need to take the necessary steps to not pass it on to elderly people. BIL: Sure.....but, to me, this is nothing more than the flu. Me: This is much different than the flu. The death rate with this is going to end up much higher than the flu, especially with elderly people. BIL: Silence....... My brother in law is one that, let's just say, will believe Trump over the media outlets.

“Or 2”....

GOT*AMNIT....We only use MADE IN "MERICA. So....the administration that brags about deregulation and cutting red tape to "get things done" created red tape and regulation preventing the US from using an already developed test kit. Priceless!!!!

Here's a great thread on what china had to do to contain it. Read the entire thing. I have very little faith that Americans are willing to go to this length. China is a "collectivist" culture. We are not. China is an authoritarian government. We are not (even though Trump wishes we were).

I'm going to horrifically sad if 96,000,000 Americans come down with this and the death rate stays high. I suspect that's not going to happen but, the ONLY way that's not going to happen is if officials and the public be extremely proactive at containing this. That is what we are seeing in some cases. Sadly, many at the top of our government mocked the situation instead of taking it seriously from the start. Some of those same people still aren't taking it seriously. This is an appropriate attitude. We don't need to panic. We DO need to pay attention and do as the officials (not the idiot in the Whitehouse) say. I personally have to take precautions. I have been traveling a lot since the first of the year. I just spent a week at a convention where I was around thousands of people from all across the country....and yes...shaking hands. I have an elderly Mom and Dad. I called them last night to tell them I won't be around to see them for a couple weeks.

How does that work?

Who is saying I need 70 multipacks of toilet paper? I've been told I'm full of crap....but....
