I heard an interview this afternoon that made it sound like Australia is going to take the same approach. It kinda makes sense but whether they can actually pull it off without it running wild through vulnerable populations is an open question. I don't really care for boomers so they're welcome to try as far as I'm concerned.

China has pretty much got rid of it but there's going to be flare ups once they try and get people working again. They can put suburbs back in lockdown again but they'll just be playing whack-a-mole and it will cause a lot of disruption. It isn't really practical in the long term to lock up anyone with a temperature for 14 days or force people to maintain social distancing for 2 years until a vaccine is produced.

lol people keep trying to rationalize governments deciding to just do nothing because they're headed by incompetent pretenders. maybe when sideshow bob stepped on all those rakes it was actually because he was about to suffer a fatal stroke and needed to dislodge the blockage

trump says "we're not doing the election guys." republican states go along with it, democratic states dont. people whos opinion matters say "well we cant have an election with only half the states. its a confusing situation lets go along with it for now."

The sitting president cannot be subject to any law, we now know. Especially when there's a steadfast, corrupt establishment with the majority of power behind him. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo where's the recourse to anyone stopping Trump? Where's someone who can step in and say, with authority, 'no, you have to hold elections'? There's no loving law anymore in this country except the dictates of those willing to peruse violence, and there's so few of them that it's not even worth pretending something will happen along those lines. America is hosed and we will have Presidente For Life Trump and his cadre of successor spawn OFFICIALLY be the case by this time next year.

Feels like the madness is starting to ramp up here (UK) now. Lots of events being delayed or cancelled. Outside is quieter, except for the supermarkets where there's barely any rice, beans, oats, flour, and eggs. And lol at getting tp or hand sanitiser. Although ethnic shops are still well stocked so Asian and Polish stores are the place to go until more people catch on to them.
