Hi guys. How’s it going? I got news today that my job is like Jesus. Its been resurrected, but (as of now) its only going to hang around a little while. Still, I’m (probably, nobody actually has a plan at my company, so its work if you can bill and see ya when you can’t) two paychecks closer to surviving the madness. That’s how I’m going about it right now. Get to the next paycheck. I know some of you didn’t get good news like that, so I count myself fortunate.

Since the kids were in rare form this morning, and I couldn’t concentrate or get any work done, I came to my parents’ house to work in peace.

The hand of Harjit Singh, an assistant sub inspector for the Punjab police, was chopped off while he patrolled outside a vegetable market in Patiala, a city in northwestern India. While patrolling the area, a truck carrying seven men, who belong to the Sikh minority warrior sect known as the Nihangs, were stopped at a barricade.
When the men in the truck were asked for valid travel passes, one of them pulled out a sword and chopped Singh’s hand off.
According to TheHindu.com, the main perpetrator of the attack was a man named Baba Balwinder Singh, one of the leaders of the Nihang group.
Another incidence of senseless Singh on Singh violence.

Speaking of insane people
“You don’t know anyone who has made as much money out of this as I have,” he said over the phone. No argument here. He wouldn’t specify an amount, but reckoned that he was up almost two thousand per cent on the year.
Emboldened by vindication, the Australian, walking through the countryside, laid out his prognosis for the United States and the world. America needed to “rip off the Band-Aid,” he said. The federal government should close the borders, shut off all international commerce, declare martial law, deploy the military to build field hospitals and isolation wards, and arrest or even fire on anyone who didn’t abide by a stay-in-place protocol. (“In 1918, in San Francisco, a cop shot someone in broad daylight for being outside without a face mask, and the cop was celebrated for it!”) Or perhaps the government should reward each citizen who strictly observed the quarantine with fifty thousand dollars. “The virus would burn out after four weeks,” he said. The U.S. had all the food and water and fuel it would need to survive months, if not years, of total isolation from the world. “If you don’t trade with China, they’re screwed,” he said. “You’d win this war. Let the rest of the world burn.” The problem, he said, was that, perhaps more now than ever, Americans lack what he called “social cohesion,” and thus the collective will, to commit to such a path. “Plus, you have guns. Lots of guns. And all the base materials for your drugs, like ninety-seven per cent, come from China.” He predicted that any less stringent measures—the slow removal of the Band-Aid that we are experiencing now—would result in social unrest bordering on civil war, and the decimation of our medical ranks. “So suddenly everyone who’s seen ‘House’ would be a doctor,” he said. Politically, the Australian considered himself well right of center, yet he thought it ridiculous that the United States doesn’t have nationalized health care. He predicted the cancellation of the Presidential election, or Donald Trump’s resignation, or the creation of an emergency leadership council, to which, throughout the conversation, he nominated Generals Mattis and Petraeus, Bill Gates, and Gary Cohn, for whom the Australian had worked at Goldman Sachs. “You could have either four weeks of pain and a future boom or years of this rolling bullshit and a depression. But people are just selfish. They’re not thinking. They’re morons.”
And, of course, the thing bugging me most about that is his egregious misuse of the term “rip the band-ad off”. That’s not ripping the band-aid off, that’s euthanizing the patient who has the sniffles.
But none of us can grasp the complexity and severity of this situation without somebody explaining it to us on the pages of the New Yorker.

This country is beyond salvation. My sociopath sister is another symptom of the disease. Constantly shift goalposts to emotional talking point that anyone who disagrees with is bad/evil instead of arguing honestly and literally say that “any context is irrelevant”, then in the very next breath viciously denying that she refuses to acknowledge context. I cannot begin to describe how obnoxious and deluded she is.
Don’t feel too bad, there are plenty of people like that here too. I guess there are plenty of people like that just about everywhere, it’s not unique to Great Britain.

This is the part I love: “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently revised how coronavirus cases and deaths can be reported, saying positive symptoms can count toward a diagnosis even if there isn’t a positive test.”
The really need to get those numbers up.
Yeah they’re going back and restating prior days numbers. Not helping them that much. Still peaked a few days ago at under 300 new cases in a day. Projected with full mitigation was original 10K (over 60k without), revised down to 1600 last week. So we peaked at 3% of the original and less than 20% of the downward revised numbers. But we must stay the course! Fucking assholes.
They’re loving this. And I suspect flu season will come early this year, maybe the end of October just so they can fuck with the voting. Mail-in ballots for everyone! Dont worry about fraud.
So, somebody who dies without a positive test is a Commie Cough victim.
Somebody who has a positive test but dies of something else is a Commie Cough victim.
In a way, this is all very encouraging. They wouldn’t be trying to juke the stats if people were actually dying in large numbers from this thing.
That monster is named Mike Dewine, isn’t it?
Before he was saying we were at war. So now we’re at war with a monster? An invisible monster that is looking to take people out?

Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus infection and spread
And what’s the official name of the Wuhan coronavirus? SARS-CoV-2.
Only stupid Trump could think that chloroquine might have some promise against SARS-CoV-2.
Why do you hate Intelligence and love death?
Your daddy Trump said soooooooo.
Yeah, all you have to do is go to Google Scholar and there are a several studies from the time the original SARS popped up many of them show efficacy. Chloroquine’s possible effectiveness wasn’t just pulled out of Trump’s ass.
No, this can’t be right. I’ve been assured by the finest scholars on Facebook that chloroquine is dangerous snake-oil that Trump is only pushing so he can profit from his pharmaceutical investments.
He really needs that 23 cents.
Did you know it can cause heart arrhythmia? Saw the headline today. NY Post stringers are on the case!
No mention that everyone already knew this and it is a result of overdosing.
The popular narrative now is that Trump pushed an unsafe drug on the country, giving everyone false hope for a quick and easy cure.
None of the articles mention that there are several studies In several countries still ongoing.
That’s the popular narrative for the people who froth at the mouth when Trump’s mentioned and they’re welcome to not take it if offered. Normal people are hopeful it’s effective and it seems to be although it isn’t a miracle drug.
There’s no miracle cure for influenza either. So, it’s not surprising.

A mild case of the hiccups
The No. 2 official at the Federal Reserve on Monday said the U.S. economy was fundamentally sound and the central bank would not need to continue its massive support of financial markets indefinitely.
“I’m very confident that as the economy recovers from this hit and begins to recover that we, at the appropriate time, will be able to unwind these programs. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the U.S. economy,” Fed Vice Chairman Clarida, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television.
——-
He downplayed any worry about “moral hazard” — a term for the worry that the Fed’s actions would ultimately spark investors to take even greater risk during the next expansion. Business are closing and people are unemployed through no fault of their own, and so moral hazard is not a relevant consideration, he said.
The Fed was only buying “junk” bonds of companies that had lost their investment-grade status only as a result of the crisis, he said.
Clarida said the central bank would keep its benchmark interest rate close to zero until the economy is on track. “The path of the economy is going to dictate the path of rates,” he said.
It’s not like his paychecks are going to stop. His job is essential. You people are just a bunch of whiners.
The moral hazard was already there, left over from the bailouts of ten and twenty years ago.
Now we’re reaping the harvest.
Yeah. The fact that everyone came rushing to the Fed and congress and demanded their bailouts, shows that the Moral Hazard is fully underway.
As a one off situation, the central government would have some reason to intervene in the economy for a pandemic.
But we’ve done it so many times now, that we’ve used up our regular ammo and have resorted to nukes.

Conservative Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin issued a challenge to wealthy business owners and friends of President Donald Trump demanding that people get back to work: You first.
In her Sunday column, Rubin cited Ryan Williams, “the head of the previously well-respected and now crackpotish Claremont Institute,” calling on people to join the “resistance” against coronavirus and go back to life as usual.
“President Trump imagines he alone will decide when to reopen the country for business, although he has no constitutional, statutory or practical ability to do so,” Rubin explained. “He insists, contrary to the advice of public health officials, that we can get back to work regardless of whether we have the capacity to test millions of Americans.”
——-
Rubin explained that for every one of Trump’s “sycophantic rich friends,” and “irresponsible and uninformed voice” demanding everything reopen, there are just as many, if not more, respected, rational, experts who are warning against it.
“Let me suggest a simple test for those arguing for a quick return to business as normal absent a robust testing, contact tracing and quarantine program: You go first,” Rubin suggested. “Trump should cease requiring everyone who comes into his orbit to submit to a covid-19 test. After all, if it’s not important enough for all of us to have the same protection, he should feel perfectly comfortable re-engaging with those of unknown health status.”
——-
“Among the COVID-19 deniers, the maniacal capitalists and the Trump campaign cheerleaders, there is far too much eagerness to expose others to dangers that I suspect they would be entirely unwilling to undertake themselves,” Rubin closed. “They should abide by a single Golden Rule of public health: Do not advocate for others what you are unwilling to do yourself. Maybe if forced to consider the risk to their own health and lives, they will act with greater care.”
“Conservative” columnist Jennifer Rubin. Okay.
“Lemme tell you what you should do.”
“COVID-19 deniers.”
Language wins again.
Useless hag who offers nothing of value. All she does is bitch and whine.
Jennifer Rubin calling someone else a crackpot.
And with all due respect to Nikki, Jennifer Rubin is the worst.
“Let me suggest a simple test for those arguing for a quick return to business as normal absent a robust testing, contact tracing and quarantine program: You go first,”
What a fuckwit. That’s exactly what they are asking for – that the orders locking down their business be lifted so that they can go back to work. Nobody except the public health nannies, the TDSers, and the DemOp Media is demanding that the lockdown continue until total safety is assured.
Throw ’em into that briar patch, Jennifer. Do it!
“…You go first,” Rubin suggested. “Trump should cease requiring everyone who comes into his orbit to submit to a covid-19 test. After all, if it’s not important enough for all of us to have the same protection, he should feel perfectly comfortable re-engaging with those of unknown health status.”

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/apr/13/the-karen-meme-is-everywhere-and-it-has-become-mired-in-sexism
“Karen” is commonly used in the US to refer to a strident middle-class white woman who talks down to people of colour, usually in serving-staff positions. But the term was never just about racial oppression.
Sorry, Guardian, “Karen” isn’t about race.
FTFY.
They probably know this but hey, any chance to play smug and superior, right?
They’re not very original with their narrative. Writing every paper about racial oppression is how they got all A’s in college. Now all they have to do is pull out those papers change the names.
What the Karens of the world really need is someone who stand up to the memers and tell them everything they’re saying is wrong.
And demand to speak to their manager.

John Oliver rips Amazon for its treatment of employees during coronavirus crisis
I can’t be bothered to view or care about anything John Oliver says. Every rant of his that I have seen is so full of holes that Swiss would get his face stuck like that trying to squint through each one.

I notice Scruffy’s used car article didn’t even mention all the newly jobless suckers three or four years into a six year loan who will be dropping their keys off at the dealership (or bank).
I was just thinking about that earlier. There are going to be a lot of trucks for sale around here at a big discount, in the not-too-distant future.
I am sooo glad I didn’t drop $75K into a new diesel pickup for work this winter.
I’m really looking forward to that. Need a truck for occasional use.

Nine U.S. states planning reopening of economies after coronavirus shutdown
Call it 5D chess or serendipity or whatever, but Trump saying the decision to restart the economy is his seems to have worked brilliantly to achieve the desired effect.
The governors of California, Oregon and Washington said they also had reached an agreement on a shared approach to restarting businesses
We are so fucked. This is even worse Gov Cunthead’s 10-14 days without a single Covid death. Didn’t think that would be possible.
I’m going to be a bit contrarian and say this is a good thing. Why? Because they’re all be too chickenshit to go first. This way the responsibility is shared, and it will happen somewhat sooner.
No, now it will be even later because of the chickenshit approach. OR has far different numbers than either WA or CA.
We’ve gone a week with zero deaths in Central Ohio and DeWine’s telling MSNBC a couple more months.
Or they are preparing to restart the economy on their own terms. Perhaps, much slower than Trump’s.

Ex-wife did that for decades. Her debt for cars got to ridiculous levels.
All of my cars are paid for. The last one we bought we just bought outright without borrowing a penny.
One of the guardrails wife and I have set up as an indicator of falling off the financial bandwagon is seriously contemplating financing a car again. It’ll be cash only for us going forward.
I can’t remember the last time I had a car payment. Had to be 15 years ago, probably more. Of course, our cars are 12 years old and 7 years old.
So many people do this as a matter of course. They really don’t care, as long as they can afford the payment.
But my payments are the same!!

Rats hardest hit
As millions of Americans shelter indoors to combat the deadly virus, which has claimed over 21,000 U.S. lives, many businesses — including restaurants and grocery stores — have closed or limited operations, cutting off many rodents’ main sources for food. On deserted streets across the country, rats are in dire survival mode, experts say.
“If you take rats that have been established in the area or somebody’s property and they’re doing well, the reason they’re doing well is because they’re eating well,” Bobby Corrigan, an urban rodentologist, told NBC News. “Ever since coronavirus broke out, not a single thing has changed with them, because someone’s doing their trash exactly the same in their yard as they’ve always done it — poorly.”
But many other rats are not faring as well, said Corrigan, who works as a consultant for several city health departments and businesses, such as airports and shopping malls.
“A restaurant all of a sudden closes now, which has happened by the thousands in not just New York City but coast to coast and around the world, and those rats that were living by that restaurant, some place nearby, and perhaps for decades having generations of rats that depended on that restaurant food, well, life is no longer working for them, and they only have a couple of choices.”
And those choices are grim. They include cannibalism, rat battles and infanticide.
Maybe we can get a nice bubonic plague going in NYC when the rats move above ground.
Are rats before or after locusts?
If the thing that gets us out of lockdown is some bleeding heart saying “Why will no one think of the rats?” I’m donating to an animal rights charity.
Michael thought of the rats!!
But just think of the material for any up and coming death metal bands in the area.

I dont think the president or any governor has the authority to shut the country down in the first place.
Yesterday they were clamoring for him to shit down states and today they are saying he cant open them up. Its hilariously sad to watch yet so fun to watch how quick they can turn on that dime.
I would love for him to come out tomorrow and issue an executive order stating that under no circumstances can any governer lift restrictions before April 20th.

What am I missing. I haven’t watched news all day long. What has he done now?
“When somebody’s president of the United States, the authority is total, and that’s the way it’s gotta be.”
—Donald Trump
He said it in the context of being told that he doesn’t have the authority to override states and “open the country back up” (he doesn’t).
This doesn’t say anything about whether these continuing shutdowns are a good idea past, say May 1st. But it makes my states rights self upset.
I wish you luck finding an alternative that anyone will vote for.
I should say “a palatable alternative”
But if Biden wins… You know what, smear away. We are beyond screwed regardless.
Maybe he was just referring to the federal response. That was on Twitter, right? Twitter (and Trump) aren’t exactly known for conveying nuance.
That is the problem with Trump. You never know why he is saying something or what he actually means.
Yeah, he can piss right off with that kind of talk.
Yup. Just because everybody else is shitting on their respective job descriptions doesn’t mean that Donnie needs to pop a squat over the constitution.
Fuck everybody involved in this entire mess. I’m thisclose to doing a full write-in ballot.
Bingo. Except I’ve already decided to do a full write-in ballot.
Yikes.
As far as I am concerned this entire cluster is wildly illegal. No govt official in the US has the power to just cancel the constitution because heeby jeebies. The whole thing is bullshit.
I was equally pissed off when Little George claimed his primary job was protecting people. That’s how we got the Patriot Act, an act which is essentially a permission slip for the govt to commit crimes.
Of course he has Federal authority for the country – that is not inconsistent with a state’s (or government authorities within a state) right to govern and Trump has been clear on this point when asked to create a Federal lockdown.
Congress has Federal authority. The President is charged with the execution of the laws they pass. We have strayed too far from the original intent.
