This is INCREDIBLY good news!!  The mask shortage is putting our front line defenders in grave risk.  If we lose them, we lose many, many more.

I totally agree!  Crises like this bring out the worst in a few, but the very, very best in most Americans.

I’m actually feeling some pride in this country that I thought was long gone....

Agreed!  We are truly blessed to be in this country.  (You are off of ignore)

Excerpt the Democrats blocking that bill to help out the common man. The Democrats should be in the dustbin of history, their platform and aims are evil.... here and there, there may be exceptions.

The headline caught my eye, then I read the piece. All they are saying is it hasn't really struck Russia too terribly bad yet. So, I don't see how they can project that it could be so devastating.

Kremlin Knows Hell Is Coming…The People Don’t
by L Todd Wood  March 22, 2020

I’ve talked to many Russians inside the country and many expats living abroad over the last few weeks. There is a common theme among them — they don’t believe in the Chinese coronavirus.

...

He said: ‘What is worrying, in my opinion, is that I do not understand why they do not take samples from all people with pneumonia.

...

However, the Kremlin does seem to be worried and is building a large pre-fab hospital outside the country’s capital of Moscow to house 500 patients.

They are building that hospital, that is some preparation.

DEMOCRATS HOLD AMERICA HOSTAGE FOR SOCIALISM!
by CD Media StaffMarch 23, 2020



...

The new collective bargaining powers alone detailed below will forever alter the fabric of America, installing socialism instead of a capitalistic economy.

Think about it…the Democratic Party is using the crisis created by the Chinese Communist Party as a weapon to communize the United States of America.

    Via senior GOP aide, Schumer/Pelosi now pushing these demands amid pandemic-fueled economic collapse:

Adversaries eye U.S. focus on coronavirus as opportunity to flex muscles

One thing I'll say for the stats, it might have changed but over the weekend, deaths were something like 1% of all confirmed cases, that's a bit lower than we've been told, however, when deaths in the USA are now nearing 500, that's a fairly relative statement. There was even an article in the media, maybe Gateway Pundit mentioning this.

Martha McSally @SenMcSallyAZ
I couldn't agree more @kyrstensinema
. As we ask all Americans to sacrifice their livelihoods and alter their behavior to save lives, we must ourselves model appropriate #coronavirus behavior. No one is too important to disregard guidance to self-quarantine pending test results.

I’ve never commented about a fellow Senator’s choices/actions. Never once.

This, America, is absolutely irresponsible. You cannot be near other people while waiting for coronavirus test results. It endangers others & likely increases the spread of the virus.

New York update:

Up another 5k statewide to 20k cases. Same as yesterday, not exponential. Either social distancing is starting to work or statistical noise, not sure.

621 in the ICU, 2635 hospitalized. Both still well below 3200 and 53000 ICUs and beds respectively that are in the entire state. Cuomo has now instructed hospitals to up capacity by 50%. Also looking ahead to plans to reopen business.

It appears things are starting to work.

Rand Paul deserves to be shamed.  As does any other politician asking me to sacrifice while they do what they want, and ignore my President and this crisis.  FLICK RAND PAUL.  I hope Rand's positive test, and his upcoming isolation bring the fear of God into him and remind him of the little people who wipe up his germs.  I'm not saying he's a self centered isolationist pr*ck...much.

That depends on if Rand asked for a test because he thought he might be sick or if the testing is done on a regular basis for all the senators to minimize the risk of spread at the top levels of government.

If he thought he might be sick and asked for a test, your point is well taken. If this testing was part of a wider screening process then not so much.

Here's what Rand had to say about it:

But in an extensive statement Monday afternoon, Paul defended his handling of the situation, saying he got tested simply because he and his wife had traveled extensively in recent weeks and he's at higher risk due to having part of his lung removed following an assault.

"I felt that it was highly unlikely that I was positive since I have had no symptoms of the illness, nor have I had contact with anyone who has either tested positive for the virus or been sick," he said.

Paul said he remains "asymptomatic" and said to his critics: “For those who want to criticize me for lack of quarantine, realize that if the rules on testing had been followed to a tee, I would never have been tested and would still be walking around the halls of the Capitol. The current guidelines would not have called for me to get tested nor quarantined.  It was my extra precaution, out of concern for my damaged lung, that led me to get tested.

"Perhaps it is too much to ask that we simply have compassion for our fellow Americans who are sick or fearful of becoming so. ... The broader the testing and the less finger-pointing we have, the better."

Thanks for the post @DB it is nice to know Senator Paul inflicted the virus upon countless because of his he knew he should have been tested anyways.  What a guy.

Gov. Tom Wolf to issue stay-at-home order for 7 counties including Philadelphia, suburbs, and Allegheny County

Gov. Tom Wolf is expected to issue a “stay-at-home” order today for Philadelphia and its suburbs, as well as Monroe and Allegheny Counties, taking the fight against the coronavirus to a new level by requiring residents to remain inside except for essential trips such as buying food or seeking medical help.

The order will apply to Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties in the southeast, Monroe County in the northeast, and Allegheny County in Western Pennsylvania, according to four sources with knowledge of the governor’s plans.

Sounds to me like Trump and the Goobernor will be clashing if Trump pushes for businesses to reopen and for people to go back to work.

How many senate Democrats are on the CHICOM payroll?

Democrats in the House have now crafted a new 1,400 page bill (man that was done fast...almost like they already had it ready) that they passed without debate today.  Here are just a few things Democrats are holding up the Coronavirus Relief Bill for:

-Corporate Board Diversity
-College Debt "relief"
-Election Auditing
-Canceling the debt of the Postal Service
-Same-day voter registration
-Requiring airlines to offset their emissions

So far the Rat Press has left Mnuchin's name out of it except to talk about how he's working with Dem leadership.

But the tone on Capitol Hill wasn’t totally negative after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said disagreements over the bill could be overcome in the next 24 hours. A spokesman for Schumer later added the senator and Mnuchin had a “productive meeting.”

Dems know who the weak/friendly link is in the Trump administration.  I have a sick feeling Pelosi will get most of what she wants and the official WH line will be "we had to in order to get the stimulus money to the people".
