I avoid restaurant bathrooms because most are uncleanly. I'm picky about that.
My favorite barbecue is Texas style and my favorite Texas style barbecue joint is Buster's in Tigard. I was once in their bathroom taking a leak when a guy comes out of a toilet stall and heads right for the kitchen where he worked without washing his hands. I was so stunned that I was speechless. I quit eating there for over a year even though I love their beef brisket poor boy.

Hmmm...would you have had a different response had that employee actually washed his hands in that "uncleanly" bathroom?

Hey, you guys, how about take it to Mt. Tabor. Just let me get some popcorn, ice cold decent beer and lawn chairs avaiable for sale and rent because I'd really like to make a buck out of this.

I never said that Buster's bathroom was unclean.

OK, but you did say this:

"I avoid restaurant bathrooms because most are uncleanly. I'm picky about that."

I suppose I just threw Buster's in with the lot of them.
 
By order of the mayor, all public performances in San Francisco cancelled until March 20. There goes my ballet. They will reschedule or refund.

The ignoramus in chief made a campaign appearance at CDC. He boasted of his scientific knowledge and how amazed the scientists were by his smarts. He claimed falsely tests are available to anyone who wants them, said the tests are perfect (no medical test is ever perfect, the best are over 99 percent accurate but not perfect), however, they are less perfect than his call to the president of Ukraine, whose name he can't remember.

The preamble to the Constitution refers to "a more perfect union" which is good rhetoric but logical nonsense. No such thing as more perfect.

Divider in chief then attacked Washington governor Jay Inslee for having the effrontery to say his state needs accurate information. Called the governor a snake and ordered the VP to not be "nice" to him.

Make America sick again!
 
So the pallet of cases of 180proof vodka is gonna save my live?

US hospitals are preparing for 96 MILLION coronavirus infections and nearly HALF A MILLION deaths, leaked documents reveal
  • Almost half a million (480,000) Americans are expected to die from coronavirus
  • 4.8 million will be hospitalized and 96 million infected
  • Figures come from leaked slides from a presentation by Dr. James Lawler, a University of Nebraska Medical Center professor and hosted by AHA
  • They show the spread of the deadly disease could be far worse than officials claim, with the crisis 10 times greater than a severe flu season
  • The shock figures fly in the face of claims made by President Trump who has maintained on many occasions that the risk to Americans is 'low'
  • Lawler estimated people with heart conditions have a one in 10 chance of dying from the disease, compared to less than one in a 100 among healthy individuals
  • Trump signed a spending bill to allocate $8.3 billion to tackle the crisis Friday
  • US has around 300 cases and 17 confirmed deaths, after Florida confirmed its first two deaths Friday
US hospitals are preparing for 96 million coronavirus infections and nearly half a million deaths from the outbreak, leaked documents have revealed.

The spread of the deadly disease could be far worse than officials claim, with 480,000 Americans expected to die from the virus and 4.8 million hospitalized, according to a presentation hosted by The American Hospital Association (AHA) in February.

This puts the crisis on a level more than 10 times greater than that seen in a severe flu season.

The shock figures fly in the face of claims made by President Trump who has maintained on many occasions that the risk to Americans is 'low'.

The slides, obtained by Business Insider, suggest that hospitals need to ramp up preparations now to reduce the death toll around the US.

At the time of the presentation last week, there were more than 80,000 confirmed cases around the globe.

In the US there was around 60 cases and no deaths.

Fast forward just one week, and the US has around 700 cases and 17 confirmed deaths.

Worldwide, more than 100,000 people have now been infected.

The leaked slides also reveal the significant risks to older people and those with pre-existing health conditions if they catch coronavirus.

People aged 80 and over have a 14.8% chance of dying if they contract the infection, the slides revealed.

The risk declines with youth, though those aged 70-79 and 60-69 are still placed at a significant risk, with 8% and 3.6% mortality rates respectively.

But.
Trump had nothing to do with this and Trump sucks because he isn't doing more.

our gov sucks and doesnt plan for anything. I bet if we had another president the virus would never have even entered the US. i blame Trump for everything.
;)
 
UW has cancelled all classes and will only be doing online classes after a professor has been tested positive for covid.

"Supply" should have been addressed WEEKS ago.

Fake news.

Supply is not an issue anywhere in America.

As useless as any other placebo, masks, gloves and sanitizer are available pretty much everywhere they normally are, and all over the internet.

But go ahead and fixate on things that don't matter as you are programmed to do.

How about make resources needed available, keep his mouth shut, and let the doctors and scientists who know what they are talking about do the talking?

Dems withheld his emergency funding request for over 2 weeks, and have fought his border security and health screening for over 3 years.

CDC has not been delayed, restricted or interfered with at all.

"Scientists" and "doctors" know little more than you or I about it, and all of their incomes increase as the panic is created. All evidence points to them as the actual creators of the virus.

I recently saw some news about how the masks don’t really help. Anybody know anything about this?

If you're sick, it keeps you from spitting on people.

It doesn't keep you from getting the virus.
 
yankeesince59 said:
While not completely protecting the person wearing the mask, it's better that wearing absolutely nothing at all. The type of mask and how well it fits also has a lot to do with it.

Also, someone wearing the mask may already unknowingly be infected and the mask could therefore as you pointed out help curb infecting others.
Click to expand...

Wearing a mask when you are sick with a respiratory virus will slow or prevent your recovery. The 4 most effective healers for a virus are air, clean water, a balanced diet, and sunshine.

Mankind has never improved on this formula, hence the constant prevalence of the flu and common cold.

Vaccines and other nonsense have served only to create stronger diseases and more susceptible populations.

You should have told the management. The owners are brothers from LO I went to school with. The wife of one is a lifelong friend of mine. Great people and delicious food.
 
OH MY GOD IT IS THE CORONA VIRUS!!!!!! IT HAS KILLED 1500 PEOPLE WORLD WIDE meanwhile the common flu is estimated to have killed 20000 to 52000 in the US alone. Just sayin.
This isn't Captain Tripps folks, calm down we will get a vaccine.

Nah bro. This kind of thinking is really not smart at all. 12,000 die from the flu on any given year but 31 million people get it. With a 3.4% mortality rate just do the math. That's 34,000 per Million. The number is 1,054,000 people dying in one year alone. If you can't understand the numbers please just stop making comments.
Whats even more disturbing is your 1500 number is off as well. At this point it has killed 3400 people and that number is climbing exponentially every day.

mortality rate % will go down as more people are diagnosed with it and numbers are reported world wide.
 
Sorry..
Complete freakout overreaction.
It seems each year we go through some end of the world scenario.
Ebola...Sars...Bird flu.....swine flu..trump flu...maya calendar ending...can't remember 'em all.

Wash your hands and cover your face when sneezing or coughing.
That is all.

I believe 12, 000 "on any given year" is on the low side". It was over 50,000 in 2018
