So I'm sure that didn't help dampen the spread of the virus at all before the year 2020. Which I think gives some credence to the article I posted that some in California believe the virus may have been in their state as early as December as well to that Miami Herald report too.

Spread of infectious disease such as COVID-19 is like death and taxes, its inevitable. Looking at the John Hopkins dashboard absolutely nobody, not one single nation on this pathetic insignificant speck in the universe was able to stop it.

I would like to add. I got to hand it to Boris Johnson that guy got a pair of big brass ones. He could have easily died from exposure. Nobody can accuse him of hiding behind the podium or in his residence.

We could shed a lot of light on the problem with universal testing. I am fairly sure that I had a mild case of it as well as my coworkers over the winter.

You know such testing might help get things back to normal pretty quickly. With everyone still riding the fear bus and the economy is tanking because of it. Call me crazy, but I cant stop thinking of what ol' Rahm said so many years ago and about whats in store for us down the road.


You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.

A further 737 people have died with coronavirus in UK hospitals, taking the total recorded death toll to 10,612

A public health campaign in Manitoba is using a raven puppet to deliver a message in the Cree language, which is spoken by more than 100,000 indigenous people in Canada.

France’s hospital deaths and ICU patients drop.

The elderly may have to remain in isolation until next year to protect themselves from coronavirus, the EU Commission president has told a German newspaper.

Italy has said it will quarantine and assess the health of 156 migrants aboard a rescue ship off its southern coast, citing concerns over the spread of coronavirus.

Here's a pleasant surprise, makes me feel like were actually getting something accomplished now. Just went to the John Hopkins Dashboard and found a new category 'Total Tested in the U.S.' and Total Hospitalized' Generously rounding up ALMOST but not quite 1/100th of our population so far. No test data available for any other country yet.
