I live in Kirkland and it’s weird to see WaPo sending reporters to the Fred Meyers where I was grocery shopping yesterday. The pasta and ramen sections were nearly cleared out, but it wasn’t as bad as a snowstorm a few years ago.

Regarding Costco’s being swamped, apparently they were doing “day before Christmas” numbers but hadn’t planned so staff levels weren’t increased. Great company but not good at making quick decisions.

Worked retail supervisor for too long: good loving luck sour of the moment up staffing. "yeah, can you come in and work a hell shift on your day off? No???"

If you liked 2016s "but her emails" You'll love 2020s "Burisma!"

They aren't even trying to pretend it's anything but partisan nonsense. Oh shut he did good super Tuesday! 8 hours later Burisma!

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

China is at least as hosed as the US will be so that's still pretty dumb. Huge segments of their economy just stopped. And the US economy tanking will be a second wave of them getting hosed.

Nothing more presidential than "the buck stops with the people I hired. But actually I barely know them. They did it all and I didn't know. Also Obama."

Honestly Biden is one of the biggest winners in the US from the Trump clown shoes response to plague IMO. Biden has a history with the Obama bail outs, will put actually capable people in office, and can't possibly be as inept in a crisis as trump who just kicked a few extraneous trillion from the markets.

Covid was definitely one of the nails in Bernie's coffin. It's suddenly way too unsettled for random Joes to want to jump both feet into systemic change when there's gaping wounds that need to be patched. If we had universal health care and safety nets that Bernie supports we'd 100% be better off but people will desperately want safe. And Obama's VP is as safe as you can get.

Who has a good ad blocker and can tell me the "logic" behind this lunacy?

Other than the faster we kill a million people the sooner we can get to work. We already have several states barely hanging on and just going to get worse.

Typically corona viruses are not permanent immunity.

That being said we don't know if people getting hit again actually are double dipping or had a false negative test before it cleared the system. The virus is barely three months old and we just don't know a lot of details yet.

Brazil aiming for the top.


quote:

“The Brazilian needs to be studied. He doesn’t catch anything. You see a guy jumping into sewage, diving in, right? Nothing happens to him. I think a lot of people were already infected in Brazil, weeks or months ago, and they already have the antibodies that help it not proliferate,” Bolsonaro said. “I’m hopeful that’s really a reality.”
