"Due to Coronavirus concerns, we're starting our biggest sale ever!!!"

We knew they'd do this to keep the doors open.
Now's the time for a Hawaii vacation.
Just don't roll the dice on being able to come back timely...

It's a personal statement! lol
Anyone that's falsely stated feels upset; I know I wouldn't do that to someone as a statement. I'd ask first, so that's where the rationalization problem comes in.
I'm trying to go easy on you here, but the horn has been blowing for 2 months.
We should've shut the borders down January; same thing we should've done after 9/11.
We've got enemies, it's common sense.
When we don't, well...

I keep reading your posts but they're very broad about who is undermining and what people would be doing if they were not undermined.

I'm trying to plug in current eventsand the relevant politicians actions and statements to your theories to understand if they're actually playing out. When you state that somebody is being undermined, it seems to imply that you think they would be doing the right thing if they were not otherwise being guided the wrong way. so I'm wondering what Trump would be doing in one scenario and what you see him doing and what you ascribe to undermining.

Trump does not make any statements that we need to be doing more testing. He has been telling people that we've got it under control for weeks. Do you think that's because he's being undermined? That's what I'm asking about.

I have a hard time understanding how him being undermined would play into that. It seems to me like he, Rather I guess Mike pence since he's been put in charge of it by trump, isnt making good choices here on testing amounts. I think the topic of testing is pretty basic and not esoteric where experts could lead a politician awry. Why do you think the administration has not been pushing for more testing earlier?

This is a fluid situation. I personally am far less concerned about Trump than you, but he was certainly under-informed before his trip to India.
That initial response , which was terrible ("Poof, it's all gonna be gone, Corona what?") was pretty clear evidence, and pretty good ammo for Trump haters and the election.

Putting Pence in control was brilliant though; not sure how he came to that one, but it should've happened 6 weeks ago.

The rest...meh...
Like I said, it's fluid.
To say I know exactly what's going on behind closed doors or who's saying or thinking what or why, well, if I knew all that I'd move to Vegas or play the stock market.
Overall, the liberty and freedom of Americans and America as a whole is the target.
The responses make it evident, but aren't necessary for history buffs.

Are flights to Alaska ever in demand? Recently booked flights to NZ in December, which is the most expensive time to go. Come back on new years eve, which is the most expensive time to return.
I'm afraid to look to see if there will be a price drop. I'd think not seeing as it's so far away, and flights to the southern hemisphere at that time of year will always be in demand.

I understand that argument and I'll be watching for Chinese style measures and martial law for you to tell me you're right. Also any other predictions you want to make.

I'm not that worried about trump but I focused on him because you said something about undermining. I was trying to just use that as a hopping off point so I'm not putting words in your mouth.

It sounds like trump (admin?) is not for removing freedom for security in your view? He's on one side and being undermined on this by others on the other side?

If this turns out to be viewed the same as the flu (regarding vaccinations, ie we recommend everyone get their shots, health and military required but not everyone) would that change your mind?

It's just the name of the airline.

As much as people want to blame orange man bad for the us corona response it is 100x better than canadas response .our health minister is an interior designer and they are flying people in from iran daily with no checks at the airport.there is not much of a plan at all and they are more concerned about racism than restricting flights from known hot spots

in BC our privacy act forbids them from telling us who has coronavirus so we get things on the news like someone with corona has been at a high school on the lower mainland but we cant tell you which school



Fraser Health subsequently warned Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows schools of possible exposure last week, leading to people calling for more details of the location.


B.C.’s top medical health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, was asked Tuesday morning at a media conference why it wasn’t possible to narrow down which schools in that region were affected.

“When you target one or two specific schools you make it easier to identify individuals,” said Henry.
