Whole Foods in Lincoln Park, Chicago had a massive line. Most everything pre-packaged was picked over. Even meat was running low.

It's not going to be pleasant, but 2000 calories of rice and beans is like a dollar, that's 3 months of food at $90/person. About the same for non-fancy oil. Not that much cabinet space needed.

Doh first case in Boulder County and it's a staff member at the University. They're not closing down the campus for whatever reason but I guess it's here. Time to hunker down and start gaming.

as the world turns

The standard Republican believes that the only thing the government should be doing is National Defense. Not actually protecting people from diseases and stuff, but bombing brown people in other countries.

That's it. Anything more than that is considered infringing on their freedom. Taxation is theft! And even those people doing the National Defending should be scared of the populace's AR-15s that they keep at home. Never mind that those AR-15s are sometimes used on black people "by mistake".

Michigan Republicans are particularly bad because they've gerrymandered the gently caress out of the state and they keep their power by selling their districts that if they don't vote Republican, they'll turn into Detroit, or Detroit will take their money. Taxation is theft!

Nevermind that Detroit is loving fantastic in places.

This guy's a loving oncologist, not an emergency response planner. His Bio and services read well, but he's not in a position, and never really has been to make this kind of decisions and offer this sort of advice.

I'd stick to whatever Fauci's saying rather than this dude whose credentials include "Worked with the W.H.O. in a leadership role". He's also been pretty cozy with the Trump administration and comes out to directly attack Fauci in his brief.

e: Makary is also a rather hardcore self-promoter in the vein of Dr. Oz, he has some legit advancement in specific surgical techniques to help with pancreatic cancer IIRC, but most of his stuff comes from elected or appointed roles that are outside his area of practice and expertise. He's a talking head that either self-inserts or is invited to provide op-eds to friendly and receptive news outlets.


e2: Dude is a Fox Business type of doctor, most known for "teaching businesses and individuals on how to lower their medical costs through a grass-roots movement". Anything he says, I'd take with a grain of salt.

Nah, we'll be feeling the ripple effects of this for a few years at least.

Trump admin did an extremely good job of dismantling what would have already been a tepid response to this kind of outbreak, sight unseen.

This ties back to what I was saying before re:

a) Humans are poo poo at long-term risk assessment and disaster preparedness suffers because of it.

b) Rich Old Fucks in Congress and the White House think they're invincible because most of their problems have been solved by throwing money at it. This is not one of those instances, they are just as at risk as the rest of us, vent or no vent. I will be flat-out shocked if all of them get out unscathed.

c) Owing to a + b, Rich Old Fucks are worthless in a crisis.

TBH, if I believed in God, I would honestly start thinking that this was their way of saying 'yeah, I gave non-intervention a shot, but it's time to wipe the slate clean.' Because COVID-19 is honestly the pitch-perfect disaster to illuminate both the extreme fragility/inhumanity of our Rich Old Fucks gov't, and the extreme fragility/inhumanity of our FYGM labor laws.
