Google employee in Switzerland has confirmed case of coronavirus

Chris Matthews told me that this viral invasion is gonna be just like General Sherman’s slash-and-burn march across Georgia.

(Thank goodness Savannah will be spared!)

Trump is a germaphobe. Wondering if he’s going to hole up somewhere for the duration. One of his hotels, full of world travelers, might not be the safest destination. Wonder if he’s doing rallies.

Rally tonight in SC.

I respectfully disagree. Taking reasonable precautions can slow the progress of the epidemic down and buy us time to investigate possible treatments, learn more about the disease and how it spreads, produce needed medical supplies, and help protect medical personnel.

Say what now?

I respectfully agree with your disagreement and have deleted my post.

You’re right. I was just feeling defeatist and was being glib. Hopefully time will help.
