This is awful, but to be honest I have a hard time finding anything this administration does to be "jaw-dropping" anymore. At this point anyone who is surprised or shocked by anything Trump or his minions do either hasn't been paying attention, or is willfully blind to who and what he is.

Jaw dropping now equals “yep, that’s on-brand”
 
The celebration of ignorance in this country is tragic.
 
Coronavirus is spreading through conservatives faster than it is among immigrants. Trump is trying to speed it up.
 
What's going on in Italy is legit scary. And this is a wealthy area, with more doctors and more hospital beds per capita than we have.

 
If that happens here, I’ll be massively exposed.




Just in case, it’s been nice knowing y’all.
 
Trump, Biden, and Bernie need to come out soon and say they are refraining from doing any large rallies for the foreseeable future. It may not be that big of a sacrifice if Biden effectively ends the primary tonight. But it would be an important gesture. If Biden does it first, it would be a major show of leadership with little risk.

I wonder if all the Republicans that were rightfully upset about some Democrats wanting Trump to get the virus will be just as upset to learn this?

Germans weren’t too upset to learn about the spread of typhus in the ghettos and camps

Trump supporters would have been Nazi apologists too

The upcoming HBO series "The Plot Against America" is going to be tough to watch. Although the book was written in 2004, it's terrifying when you look at what's going on today.

My wife is due in 4 weeks. Sounds like the hospital could be a war zone. Maybe I should watch some Youtubes on home births.

I watched Fiona Hill on 60 Minutes and she talked a lot about how Putin has been plotting against America for a while now.

Hire a midwife and/or a doula. Congratulations.
 
I was reading the novel Station Eleven recently and the descriptions from that guy in Italy are eerily similar. Plot is some flu variant that originates in the country of Georgia and quickly spreads through people on planes, traveling for business, etc. Hospitals quickly overwhelmed with healthcare workers staffed around the clock and quickly becoming sick or dying. Flu ends up wiping out 99% of the population and the story largely centers around the post-flu world. Obviously we aren’t looking at something like that but this is a way too real preview of exactly how something like that could happen.
