Curious. I have a buddy who owns a screen printing company, is there a grifting opportunity to make MAGA virus protection masks?

You could make “I’d rather have the Coronavirus than be a Democrat” t-shirts and make a killing. 
 

I’d also recommend American flag face masks. Only freedom air gets through.

I was gonna go out and get surgical masks and sanitizer, but what I really need is a painting of Jesus.  

 

Given what *Mike Huckabee was saying about Trump and sucking the sickness out of people, for a small donation of $39.99 I can send you a Coronavirus Straw.

Pence in 2020 wrote “"Time for a quick reality check. Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill."

So yea the guy who said lung cancer was media hysteria is the perfect fit to help fight back a highly contagious disease.

 

He just wants fewer people around him.

The reaction to Brooks wearing a Sanders jersey prompted outrage on Instagram and Facebook, most of which seemingly coming from supporters of President Trump.

"Can’t you just do what you get paid to do ???? Why why why does it have to involve politics !!! So sad. We don’t pay good money for anything other than to watch you perform. Thought you were different," one wrote.

“G is a Democrat socialist!” wrote another person.

“If this is for Bernie Sanders, I’m done with you. I thought you were a true American that loves Our Country?” wrote another.

“Weird. That a millionaire would like a socialist. Hey Garth are you going to distribute your millions?” asked another.

I have to wonder if most of those aren't Russian disinformation.  I mean, the non-Trumpkins thinking that all Trumpkins are really that stupid serves Putin's ends just as much as much as all Trumpkins thinking everyone to their left is a socialist.

This is exactly the guy we want leading our response to a new strain of virus.

My mouth was quite literally (and I do mean literally) hanging open as I watched that.  Holy.  Shit.  

"A-ha!  Scientists found new evidence that man descended from apes who roamed the earth even earlier than they thought, exposing WEAKNESS in the Theory of Evolution!!!  I propose that man and woman were created from the ether 6,000 years ago and that we need to teach this theory TOO!  <whisper> until we only teach the Bible version"

We are so fucked.

Guess what is trending right now? #38% of Americans. Oh and #TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus is at #4. He's in for a rough day.

 

 

 

So the first things to fly off the shelves was, of course, masks, hand sanitizer, respirators, disinfectant, tissues etc.  But this will be the next thing.  I am going to stock up this afternoon and help 'em out a bit. (even though I don't like Corona...beer)

What's going to be brutal is the look back at the autopsy of these early days of infection in the US. If some of the stories are true about how the Trump administration has perhaps put many more people at risk via inadequate preparation and execution in handling early infection, it's gonna be bad.  As much as I dislike this President and this administration I am praying some of these early negative stories coming out are false.  Because if true then the exposure multiplier of preventable transfer is going to be a big part of the story later.

I am sort of resigned to getting it.  I fucking hate the flu, and one you have it, you just feel like shit and recover, or if you are old or otherwise weaker you die.  I hope I do not fall into that latter category, but I have been in the former many times.  Hell I got the damn flu in the Summer two years ago, so the warm weather kill off expectations are no guarantee in my mind. 

The bad news for Trump is that this is his first real crisis, and from a political propaganda/ leadership perspective I give them a C- if only what we see it true.  An F is some of the early reports of stupidity are true.  I guess my silver lining is that right now (if you want to believe what the Chinese say) their rate of growth of exposure is supposedly not as exponential as could be expected then that would be a good thing indeed. IF China is at 250,000 infected in another 10 days... well then I assume about 80% of the population will get it.  Right now the scary number is the recovered vs dead.  The dead percentage of that group has been floating between 8-9% for a while now.

Not a huge fan either, but something just feels right about it when I go to the beach. Maybe it will warm up enough tomorrow to hit a spring training game, then end the day at the tiki bar on the beach with more than a few Coronas. Sounds better than hanging out on the lanai with a bottle of bourbon. Though that is plan B at this point.
