Oh, you wanna go algebraic now? Fuck that. P-K5.

In other Covidnews, Moscow Mitch is now blaming lack of preparedness (hey, he admitted it!!) on Impeachment distraction.

How is Ruth doing?

Wonderful, that makes me warm inside. I have been working on website and getting some material ready to release. Not my own, I am reviving label activities. I am wondering if that is worth pressing to a 7" though. Stimulus check.


I did some basic network programming today, very fun.

And this is what happens when you go all-the-way psycho. From the NY Times:

Gun Ownership Soars in Brazil Under Bolsonaro

The same happens in the US. This lead John Cleese to tweet the following:
Quote:

Buying guns seems to be the default position for some of the American electorate...

When confronted by something upsetting, they buy guns

Bears...same-sex marriages....global warming...albino raccoons...long words...Hispanics...ANY kind of panics...

Let's go shopping !!!


which of course led to many protests to which he reacted. Very amusing to read ;-) In his Twitter feed, scroll down to March 25 then read upwards

Bytor Peltor 04.01.2020 11:32 AM

Coronavirus is now the third leading cause of death in the US

“COVID-19 is now killing 748 people per day in the U.S., Dr. Maria Danilychev said, citing data from Worldometers.info:

heart disease (1,774 deaths per day)
cancer (1,641 deaths per day)”






Toronto cancels city-led and permitted events to June 30

Wimbledon 2020 canceled for first time since World War II due to coronavirus outbreak in UK



NBA 2020 season: I’ve heard a few speculate that the NBA will resume in mid July with a 7-10 games to end the regular season. The NBA post season would start last week of July with the NBA Championship concluding in August.

The NBA will then shift its season to December - August from hereafter.

The NBA might use this to change their seasons going forward, but I highly doubt they conclude anything this season.

Do you have any previous label offerings I can purchase or stream?

yeah. I'm hoping my cat is enough to keep that sucker at bay. She hangs out by the sliding door a lot. Also doesn't help that I'm like 100ft from the alley...which was the direction the mouse was headed when I saw it.

Now stop that, Soup Nazi. We must forget about Bytor's (and Trump's) early statements on this. It's what is happening NOW that counts for leadership and character.

Coronavirus death rate
over age 80 14%+
70-79 8%+
60-69 3%+
under 50 1%-
0-9 zero fatalities

Last week in Texas, SXSW was cancelled. This week, SXSW Announces They Won’t Refund Tickets.

Most Texas Universities who are either on Spring Break or will start Spring Break next week are adding a second week off from classes due to Coronavirus concerns......there is discussion about returning to virtual classes. I’m not aware of any Texas High Schools canceling classes, but just like the Universities, they too are on Spring Break.

Next week (Thursday), the NCAA March Madness Basketball Tournament begins. One of the host cities is in Ohio and just yesterday the Ohio Governor Calls on Sports to Bar Spectators Amid Coronavirus Fears. It will be impactful to watch televised sporting events taking place in empty arenas.

Gov. Inslee of Washington to ban gatherings, events of more than 250 amid coronavirus outbreak......250 isn’t many people. A decent size church runs 400 on a Sunday morning.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency Tuesday as the number of coronavirus cases in the state spiked to 92, more than double the 41 cases announced just 24 hours earlier.......a state of emergency over 92?

Meanwhile in Texas, the Toyota Center looked sold out for last nights Rockets game. The Houston rodeo is in the middle of its three week run averaging 60000+ patrons daily. We are headed to Houston today for shopping and fun, something my 17 year old daughter asked to do. I’m looking forward to seeing how many mask I can spy and I plan to report back with photographic evidence.

I would have more concern if I or a family member were flying and spending time in airports. Not saying I wouldn’t do it, but I’m glad it’s not a concern for us at the moment.

Anyway, back in 1938-40, leaders paid a price for stupidity. Now they get higher ratings.

Oh, you mean:

 


Chamberlain
Came crawling from Munich
With one piece of paper
He waved at the camera
Peace in our time
Oh thank you, herr Hitler
Tell that to the Polish
Tell that to the Jews

Looking back, my comments may appear foolish, but it was an honest assessment at that time!


Skuj 04.01.2020 06:49 PM

Thanks.

Contrast and compare "Peace in our time" to the early Trump tweets/statements on this. One of them has coherent sentences, obviously.

Skuj 04.01.2020 06:50 PM

Here we go with the spin again!! :)

Pence is very special when he lies. He keeps such a straight face.

The bottom line is this: Some leaders, and ordinary people, were listening to experts/science as this was approaching. And some were being idiots. I know where I would place Trump and his Believers in this regard.

Ok then. Bb5+.

Amazing that Fauci is dealing with that kind of BS. It's fucking Night Of The Living Dead. The Trumpy zombies can't deal with the truth. (Hey Bytor, what do you think of Fauci?)

how is your corona supply? my local supermarkets have been bananas so im not going.

a4.

Meh, every few days I go to groceries, crowds are sparse, I stay 2m+ from everyone, supplies are no problem, and I use self checkout machines. I suppose we are lucky here.

The biggest challenge for me is being the teacher for my 11yr old these days. (Oh, and the whole getting divorced thing. There's that as well.)

Skuj 04.02.2020 03:54 PM

Those Democratic films are so terrible. And some of them have subtitles. Give me a good old Republican film any day.

I think it is very important to continue with your reading, films, music during this. Art will save us.
