It should be known that this was not in the clinical experience of east asian countries, almost like letting a virus spread unmolested in your population creates the risk letting it mutate new and improved symptoms.

if it starts killing children here but not in east asia the 14 words people are going to lose their minds

if it kills children here its because we let tons of them get infected

As I recall the voters pathologically switch between parties for governor, although the senators are usually safely Democrat.

the militia movement's been preparing for this sort of confrontation for 30-40 years (although a lot of that was ineffectual, or just a fig leaf for organized crime), but what are they actually going to accomplish with this show of force?

michigan militia was around in the 90s, gearing up for another OKC is my guess

Not that it needs to be said given the number of videos of people having the test done that are around, but seriously the COVID nasopharyngeal swab is the most uncomfortable test I have ever had done to me and I can't recommend enough that all of you idiots stay inside do you don't have to get one.

killing people and doing actual terrorism i guess

yeah i guess and that might be their goal but each time they try these shows of force it backfires in their face - in charlottesville in 2017 and since. each time, it buoys these vaguely liberal, national-security associated types moreso than antifa or whatever. i think it's part of a strategy of tension.

I mean, if you think other countries are going to trust those travelers to maintain quarantine, sure, but given how people are going full idiot over having to grow out their hair an extra quarter-inch while they binge FRIENDS reruns I don't see anyone trusting America ever again (dunno about Sweden though)

yeah, law school isn't like med school

even if you only get into the worst med school in the country, it's still pretty good, and you'll have a decent job afterwards

unless you get into one of the top 14 law schools (and preferably one of the top 6), your degree will be basically worthless and you should not go to law school at all

so to sum up coronavirus:

its not some hell disease we just see weird symptoms bc we let so many people get it
we dont know enough about it to make any like novel decisions or strategies work
a brief but total lockdown plus track/trace and some social distancing thereafter stops it in its tracks the same as any normal plague
the US refuses to do anything that actually works and is instead trying two really dumb partisan strategies, with the right wing one even dumber than the Dem one at face value, but actually smarter than any other approach if you want to push a right wing agenda
