Hm. China stops consuming oil/petroleum. This unbalances the supply/demand and price/production formula for OPEC & Russia. This drops the price of gas, I suppose. I might take a look at the gas station.

That doesn't explain the people ahead of him. Presumably they exited before he did since he was in the back of the bus, and on the bus for the whole ride.

My old man said he saw on the news that 15 people died the other day in an old folks home in Seattle from COVID.

I told him that I've heard no such thing. JSF is saying that there are 19 confirmed deaths, just like I read the other day as well.

Has anybody heard this old folks home story?


I told him not to believe anything the news is saying about any of this until at least a week later because they don't do any due diligence and just report on anything that stokes TDS before they figure out if there is any truth to it or not.

"19 of the deaths in Washington"?

JSF said there are 19 deaths in the US period.

As of six hours ago, the known USA death toll was 26. You keep treating the pandemic like a static situation instaed of the rapidly-evolving one that it is, so you'll have to keep up when a situation changes by the hour, and sometimes by the minute.

Trumo is making a YUGE mistake by treating this like "the flu". I listened to part of his presser with Mike Pence .. "We want you to travel?" DOOD, I don't care if you restrict travel to China, Italy, or S Korea, we DON'T want you to travel. Not in a plane, not on a train. Not on a boat, not with a goat. Not on a bus, not by the subway. Not here or there. Not ANYwhere.

Trump's inability to see this as anything other than a stock market problem reveals a weakness in his PR sense. So far, his PR sense has kept him from doing anything truly stupid (starting new wars) even as he can't achieve his campaign promises (bring the troops home, normalize relation with Russia).

There are a few things that might save Trump's bacon:

If this behaves like a regular flu (and no guarantee that it does, it's an entirely different kind of virus) then we will see a remission in the summer, and

Trump's favoring the young might just keep the pandemic from exploding right before the summer lull (if there is any)

By the time the October "flu season" rears its ugly head, the November vote is already baked into the cake.

Trump usually has a preternatural pulse on the American response, but this may be the time that he slips. Trust me,no one wants to see him suceed as much as I do - minus his love of Israel and hate of Iran ... but he's shooting himself in the foot -again- if he doesn't respond to this in a more proactive way.

So, that's my point about the whole Seattle old folks home "story".

19 + 15 does not equal 26. And that story supposedly happened 2 or 3 days ago. My old man is convinced that it's true. Kiki just said there were 19 deaths in Washington alone.

Your 26 number doesn't reflect any of that.


I'm not treating any of this with respect, because I think the media is doing whatever they can to oust Trump and nothing, including impeachment, has worked so far.
