Whether we live in dense, crowded urban areas or areas far more remote and "country" than imaged...the idyllic settings of neatly groomed homes in village settings (as in your images) just gives many of us that "ahhhh" feeling.

Come on, Jacar. Are you a Trump-Republican-#religulous trying to proselytize? You sure sound like one. Quoting you; "This level of control is what progressivists yearns for. (that's progressives...and no....there's just no evidence - except on Faux News - that progressives yearn for authoritarian control). And that comment about "The chinese have stopped testing." Remember; we're agnostic; we expect proof and see through lies easily. See the link attached....they're leading the world in testing and recovery. You're lying. Nice try with the declarations of being "liberal-conservative"... If you're a "liberal" you would never compare progressives to Communist-socialism. Free speech is important here. We're agnostic; we expect and demand proof. I'm beginning to wonder if you're even agnostic. Look it up. I'm beginning to think you're not. Slanderous, lying speech is frowned on....and will get you reported and removed.

Robecology comments on Mar 23, 2020:

Go in. The danger is not so much "will I die" as "will I get the disease, hardly notice it, and spread it to others" IMO. I suggest you "please your boss" but go in with a container of sanitary wipes, perhaps a mask or two...and sanitary (thin, latex) gloves. If you don't have gloves, wash often. Wipe down all the surfaces you touch. Don't let your boss get "up in your face" - unless you have a mask on. ...and IMO homemade masks are pretty useful. The virus itelf will - if independently airborne - siip through most home-made masks....but this - and most other diseases - hitch a ride on dust or water particulates....which are easily trapped in even home-made masks. ...Go in. We need to break the paranoia of "getting out and about"...just be judicious. Don't absorb germs, get infected, then pass the infection on to those you know and love who might not be as healthy as you...and thus might suffer more. Again; I'm not a doctor; although I did teach, and took tests to teach health to adults. My advice could be wrong.

I actually downloaded a free ap that let's you keep track of your fever; and they plot it for nations to study and note trends. The map (see image) shows clusters of fever that Kinsa’s software suggests are unusual in this year’s flu season. Note that Florida seems headed for more serious COVID outbreaks....

I call those ships the EFG cattle ships...Endless Food and Gambling (and I'm sure you get the implication about "cattle ships")...I stopped going on them many years...decades ago. It's time for them to fade out. I'm surprised a terrorist submarine, boat, or airplane hasn't "taken one out" yet....I'm afraid that act is on the horizon....remember the movie "African Queen"? Remember the ending? it happened then...nearly 80 years ago....(the movie was in '51; the story was from the 1930's) it can happen now.

I have to say.

Good news. Thanks Hawaiian!

This is not necessarily news to many, perhaps, but it's nice to see it being discussed publicly .

I was a life-long user; off and on, throughout my science - and health - teaching career. Lately - I've tapered off...it was fun getting horny, getting stupid, and getting hungry when I was young....now they call it food abuse and dementia....so I've eased off, and have - when I rarely indulge -switched to edibles. The trick is now to get the dosage down...either too little - or too much. Ugh....

No toilet paper? Do not despair.

BTW; Since we are down to two senior gents with some serious flaws....I thought these two videos really take a close look at both of them. I'll share this in a separate post, in a separate area. The big question - relevant to Phil's post, above - is which one - if they become POTUS - is more/less likely to abuse the office? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anDy97Q8qwI And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmuYJck_ux4

Unbeknownst to many Americans, there is one legal scenario in which the president’s power substantially increases. This is the moment he declares a national emergency. Although Congress has passed more than 100 provisions that outline the power that the president gains in this circumstance—such as the ability to shut down media channels or take them over, and the deployment of military troops inside the United States—there is no legal definition of a national emergency. There is no requirement that Congress ratify the decision. There is no judicial review. In other words, the decision to invoke emergency powers is left entirely to the president’s discretion. wow....
