There's zero risk of Trump loving with that math.

This implies that Trump cares about that, or that anybody around him believes the poo poo he spews about what he's going to do. Trump can say whatever the gently caress he wants and people eat it up and his handlers will steer him away from actually doing it.

Trump doesn't have to gently caress with it. He just has to say he'll gently caress with it.

Hard to give a lot of people (men) a toy, market it as defending freedom and liberty, and then take it away, without any repercussions

It's not a reason to vote for Republicans as much as a reason not to vote for a Democrat.

Specifically this one.

And the “Joe Biden Shotgun Defense” failed pretty miserably for a dude who tried it, although it sounds like there were other issues at play here.

https://www.politico.com/story/2015/03/joe-biden-defense-gun-case-jeffrey-barton-116178

quote:


The vice president said he told his wife the same thing: “I said, ‘Jill, if there’s ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.’” (Biden lives in the official vice presidential residence on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., which is guarded by the Secret Service.)

“I promise you whoever’s coming in is not gonna,” Biden said, adding later that he had two shotguns at home and wouldn’t dream of giving them up.

Jeffrey Barton, a 53-year-old from Clark County, Washington, did exactly that when he caught intruders in his vehicle at 3 a.m. in July of last year. He walked over, punched one of them in the face and fired three shots in the air to scare them.

Later, Barton told reporters, “I did what Joe Biden told me to do. I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air.”

Barton was originally charged with a misdemeanor for illegally discharging a firearm, but in August prosecutors dismissed that charge and instead leveled one of obstructing a police officer.

Yup. They had a patient come in whose wife tested positive after his visit, and then he started showing symptoms.

I don’t care that he can’t remember the names of things, that’s practically his signature move. I care that he’s once again showing that his a privileged Liberal who thinks his shotgun matters more than owning a gun for defense in a city like Detroit.

It’s not something that’s going to make somebody change their vote from one party to the other, but it’s definitely something that’s going to make people not vote at all

That's lovely.

Our company told our Seattle office to WFH starting last week and they started sending out feeler emails this week to the rest of us to see if we could start working from home without any problems. We figure since the DC area started getting a bunch of cases, we'll be told to WFH starting next week.

Which is incredibly ironic because idk if anyone remembers me bitching about it last year, but they got rid of all of our full time home based employees (with exceptions for people with disability waviers) and told the rest of us we were only allowed to WFH one day a week as of May of last year.

They ended up having to backtrack a little bit to keep people by giving us flex time and only needing to be in office for core hours as well as allowing us to work more than one day at home if "life happens". Still, people are pretty pissed off about them bringing it up again like it's a new untested idea.

My university is (according to comments from one of my professors in lecture yesterday) considering transitioning all in-person classes to distance learning after spring break, all of my professors have amended attendance policies and almost are putting videos of each lecture online, and some are discussing how to change the exam formats since the exam days are the only time half the class shows up for some of these classes and packing the room full seems unethical

quote:

As of yesterday, according to Johns Hopkins University’s Coronavirus Resource Center, Iran has reported 6,566 COVID-19 cases

[sic]


On March 8, health authorities in Golestan province declared that hospitals there were full. Golestan has about 2.2 percent of Iran’s population, and if we assume it has the same percentage of its hospital beds, the province should have 2,600 hospital beds. Let’s assume that at least some people with other conditions are already in those beds and that roughly 2,000 beds are now filled with COVID-19 patients. About 15 percent of COVID-19 patients need a hospital stay. That suggests that 13,000 people—or about 0.8 percent of the province’s population—have COVID-19 in Golestan. If that rate applies countrywide, it yields 610,000 infections, which suggests a cumulative total of about 1 million infections—if we include those who have already recovered. Finally, because hospitalizations are a lagging indicator, double that number to account for growth in the past week: 2 million.

The average of these estimates is about 2 million, which is about 250 times the official number and 15 times the total cases acknowledged worldwide. According to models, Tuite told me, the point-prevalence of COVID-19 in Canada could rise to 5 to 10 percent of the total population when the epidemic reaches its peak. These numbers, which I have shown to experts, suggest that Iran might be at or near that point.

Does Iran really have 2 million citizens with COVID-19? Perhaps politicians spend more time in public, and are therefore more susceptible to infection; if so, some of the estimates above would overstate the number of cases. Then again, it’s also possible that they were aware of the epidemic earlier and took precautions. In that case, those estimates would understate the number of cases.
