Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.


It cracks me up that anyone can just go to the john’s Hopkins tracker and see that there are currently 220 coronavirus cases in the US, and that that number is increasing by roughly 20-50 new cases per day. Just get out of here with this crap.

Also Washington probably has something like 500 undiagnosed cases. Could be lower or higher but that's a best guess from current data.

Numbers are going to start climbing quick now that they're finally handing testing over to local authorities. Wouldn't be surprised if there are pre-symptomatic carriers in every major US hub city at this point.

The guy diagnosed in Raleigh yesterday caught it at the nursing home in WA and flew back to NC on the 22'nd. We've all got it already.

Schools closing over this isn't going to happen until it is already really bad. Again, you must think of the money number, it has to go up. If people have to miss work to stay home with the kids, money number goes down.

At least one school district in Seattle has closed for the duration. With all the companies in the region telling those employees who can work from home to do so (and telling a lot who can't to gently caress off and die), rush hour today had less than a third of it's normal volume. It was pretty drat eery and if things drag on we're all in for a world of hurt.

If she actually cared about the progressive policies that she claimed to support she would swallow her pride and endorse the candidate who supports literally all of them. But she can't. It's all about her.

So either the death rate in the US is 5x higher than the rest of the world (entirely possible because of how bad our health care is) or there's at least 5x as many cases as you're claiming.

Or, you know, she thinks there's a good chance that Sanders might lose, doesn't think her endorsement would boost him far enough to definitively win, and doesn't want to jeopardize any influence or input she might have in a potential Biden administration.
