  • The NY State AG has been aggressively going after some of those grifters for selling coronavirus "cures" and treatments. A variety of "silver solutions" that can cure every kind of disease are quite popular right now on the conspiracy far right.

      Yeah, execute those bastards for selling snake oil and profiteering on this crisis.

        • My next door neighbor in FL has a gigantic mango tree in his yard. 2 years ago, it was dropping hundreds of pounds of mangoes in my yard. I paid an arborist 1000 bucks to trim it back across my property line. Last year, it bore no fruit. I was told this is normal. This year it's back and it looks like it has a ton more fruit than it's last fruit bearing season, also normal .......

          Guess I'm set.

          Won't trim the damn thing back. I'll just set some 50 gallon drums out there, put all of the fruit that drops into my yard in these and brew up something in the fermenting pots.

          I have a neighbor in GA who is a prepper. It'll be interesting to talk to him. Nice guy. Big, big man. I see him doing yard work all the time. He mows his lawn with one of these strapped to his leg:

          Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

            • Only 12,000+ new cases in NY today. JFC. That's currently 35% of the WORLD's new case total for the day. Apparently the testing really is picking up.

                  • Uodate on the front here. Drive thru testing at my wife's hospital has kind of fizzled out, not sure what the reason is but at the start of the week is was an 8 hour wait. Somebody came to get tested Friday with a loaded gun, he was apparently a disciple of AA. Another guy went through screening and he wasn't a case, he freaked out and ran into the hospital. Needless to say as bad as some of the nursing staff is being pushed to the brink, security is being stretched to nearly the same degree.

                    It's not good, some units are having to take care of patients under normal circumstances that would be sent to the ICU, but there are no beds for the foreseeable future.

                        Damn. And you know it is going to get worse before it gets better. Lots of people in the Trump/FOX world, which includes the majority of Lower Alabama, in denial. My daughter has friend in NOLA that is working in the hospital. Not enough beds, only 100 tests per day. She describes it as chaos.

                        • AA - I was just kidding on your earlier posts about leading us through this.

                          • Ahh. A disciple of mine would not have carried his weapon through a metal detector unless it was the high impact plastic one that we 3-D printed.

                            And no way would he have gotten a corona test because those test swabs are filled with fluoride and we all know that will sap our energy and infiltrate our precious bodily fluids.

                            • Just a personal update here. Work called me yesterday and I was informed that I have been furloughed. Was told that all the managers there took pay cuts and they do have a plan moving forward (otherwise they would not have taken the paycuts). A couple things to read between the lines here: 1) If they are furloughing people now that indicates where I work is hunkering down for this to be a long time. 2) Could mean they are struggling monetary wise also and I am thinking both 1 and 2 are true.
                              2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR
