The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
As a great barman once said: You can only be a snob in matters of alcohol. And if Aristotle maintained that living well is better than living, I say that drinking well is better than drinking. Especially when the apocalypse is presented in the form of a sneeze.COVID-19 isn't Small Pox, it isn't Cholera, it isn't Malaria...all of which killed millions. We will weather this storm, and hopefully the experience will further expose the Media and our typical politicians for the venal, corrupt hacks they are. And like the good soldiers in the conservative army, we should fight back. For instance:
In case anyone is still wondering why Trump did a travel ban in Europe, Fauci just told Congress that the majority of new infections we are seeing are coming from Europe not China. Posted by: JackStraw at March 12, 2020 10:12 AM (ZLI7S)Shove that down the throats of any who whine and bitch about President Trump's actions.

Spain stages a revival of the Spanish Flu (Philly style)
For the past week, pro-government Spanish journalists have ridiculed the drastic measures of other countries and chanted that pernicious mantra: "the coronavirus is nothing but a flu." And so, while Italy, Iran, France, Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, and Japan decreed important bans and urged their citizens to avoid rallies and take extreme precautions, the Spanish government threw protesters into the streets while millions of people maintained their travel plans and social gatherings.
On Sunday, as I watched the packed feminist march in Madrid, I suspected something terrible might happen. The Spanish government led the Spaniards to believe that, for some mysterious reason, perhaps associated with the magical properties of our red wine, we were immune to this virus. And according to official reports, we were, but only until the first minute after the end of the last feminist march. Then they admitted we didn't have 374 coronavirus cases but in fact more than 1,200, an evolving disaster equal to or worse than the Italian one.

Break room last night was Trump this and Trump said it was fake.
When I mentioned that the US has about 200,000 ventilators that see 100% use during a normal flu season I was asked 'why don't we have more?'
I kinda looked at them like a trout had sprouted from their forehead while wondering about their grasp of costs of such equipment. Or how often this equipment is used outside of flu season.
Instead I then mentioned how Italy is going to cut off treatment to the elderly above a certain age if they contract COVID-19. And then left the break room to go back to work.

Second, the travel ban is going to hurt the EU quite a bit, and even though America will benefit by keeping that money here, there are going to be many vicious negative feedback loops set up as the EU deals with it's losses. And this is going to cause chaos in the markets and will take months to work through. So yes, I now think it's possible that over the next few weeks, the DJIA could fall as low as 14,000 before bouncing back a bit.

Difference made = 0.
The media would have the same reaction anyway.
Honestly, he'd probably have been better saying nothing at all, and just doing it. Maybe a few tweets to say why and what his reasoning was. But that wouldn't move the needle, either.
Fact is, all Trump can do is the best he can do, and let the chips fall where they may, with regard to results, and voter approval. Nothing he says can improve his public image vis-a-vis media coverage.
The man could announce that he personally devised a combination cure and vaccine, that also whitens your teeth and adds three inches to your dick/cup size, and the headlines would be "Introduction of Trumpexa Prompts Panic Selloff on Toilet Paper, Sanitizer" and "Trump Org Implicated in Insider Trading on Pharmaceutical Stocks; Connection to Trump's CDC Being Examined by SEC."

One of my favorite childhood memories involves Collins mix. I was walking through the supermarket with my dad and I saw bottles of "Tom Collins Mix" on the shelf. I didn't know what it was.
Several minutes a couple of aisles later, I turned to my dad and asked, "Dad, what is Phil Collins Mix."
He stopped and thought about it for a moment and then said, quite seriously and without a trace of laughter, "I don't know. But whatever it is, it's probably pretty lame."

More likely, IF it was from the lab and man-made it is something that they were playing around with, possibly as research for a bioweapon, possibly as research in general.

He took a series for children and ended up trying to make it dark, but it was dark for children so I just lost interest.
I liked Capaldi, but the dark turn didn't really seem to fit the show very well.
But Matt Smith's first season is, in my humble opinion, the best the reboot ever got, and it's not that close. Strong individual episodes. An overarching plot for the whole season. Quality companions. Bowties AND fezzes. It had it all.

He also wrote the introduction of River Song on the two-part library planet episode. The vashta narada were great.
And the angels in Blink were some of the best new monsters the show ever had.

The experience of Northern Italy, a developed, First World area indicates why we should be concerned. The number of cases exploded very quickly from 1,000 to 12,000 cases today, and even with just 12,000 cases, they are having to let people die, because they don't have enough medical resources (like respirators) to treat everyone. And it's not just 80-year-olds getting sick - plenty of non-elderly people are having to be put on respirators.
We have no idea how bad this is going to get, but it almost certainly is going to be considerably worse than a bad flu season.

I doubt it was released intentionally, but who knows. Maybe the CIA planted it ... but yeah, it also silenced the Hong Kong protests, and we hear little about the Mueller coup being uncovered, after 3 years of screaming Trump/Russia. Many things have changed ... never let a crisis go to waste.
BUT maybe we get the market bubble collapse out of the way and can rightly blame it on China, who only Trump has been fighting all along. And maybe we have more reason to repatriate critical manufacturing.
Pension funds and average investors take it on the chin though ... Soros types and those that make riches by playing games in the market (not long term investing) will get richer in this decline. Buy and hold people have been buying all the way up, may have losses now ... Soros says thank-you for your support. That is the problem with easy money bubbles ... another way to screw middle America.

I think there is a China/Iran infiltration issue there. And the open travel through the EU may be good reason to close off Europe for 30 days, then re-evaluate.

Disenlurking for a moment. I'm damned if I'm going to jump out a window because everyone else is jumping out a window and self-interested operatives are telling me I have to jump out a window.
I will, of course, take prudent measures. I don't go out much right now anyway, so the extent of my social interactions is little changed. I make sure to wash my hands frequently and keep things clean. But I'm not running out and cornering the market on toilet paper (an example of social panic if there ever was one) or behaving like a fool.
Maybe it's because Her Majesty and I are accustomed to threats of hurricanes. We make sure we have water on hand for the dogs and for ourselves, that there's gas for the generators, there's easily-preparable food on hand, etc. But we don't throw random stuff in the car and flee.
Nature, I've learned with Hurricane Harvey, will do what it will do. You can take personal steps to mitigate its impact but otherwise it's like Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.
My really big concern is for Her Majesty. She was asked to judge the 2020 BCOA National Specialty in Albuquerque next month when the scheduled judge had to withdraw. This is the pinnacle of her 50 years in the sport and I hope the event isn't cancelled.

I don't care what Stephen Moffat did in his later seasons, he was never ever that stupid.
I gotta disagree. Being boring is a worse sin in TV than being stupid, and late-period Moffat was stupefyingly dull.

He took a series for children and ended up trying to make it dark, but it was dark for children so I just lost interest.
I liked Capaldi, but the dark turn didn't really seem to fit the show very well.
But Matt Smith's first season is, in my humble opinion, the best the reboot ever got, and it's not that close. Strong individual episodes. An overarching plot for the whole season. Quality companions. Bowties AND fezzes. It had it all.

I've been burning through the series over the past few weeks (Nerdrotic has made me nostalgic) and I've forgotten how good Matt Smith's stuff was. I also like how Rory wasn't pigeonholed as "the load" like it seemed initially: by "A Good Man Goes to War" he's a formidable fighter in his own right who's willing to charge into a cyberlegion vessel with nothing but a sword, a sonic screwdriver, and a whole lotta rage.

Yeah, especially that first Smith season was really quality. I don't like his second as much and the show ended up crawling up its own butt after that, but that first season is fantastic. There were individual episodes that resonated well with me after that, but no season worked as well as Smith's first.

Societies a lot more regimented than ours. Northern Italy is a lot closer to us, culturally.
Israel, with a bit more people than the state of Washington, and half the cases of Washington, is making everyone entering Israel go into mandatory 14-day quarantine (with criminal penalties for violating it), has banned all gatherings over 100 people, and have closed all the schools. I doubt that they are doing all this to make Trump look bad.

I think there is a China/Iran infiltration issue there. And the open travel through the EU may be good reason to close off Europe for 30 days, then re-evaluate. We closed off China/other hot zones early ... but many still came through ... not as open as Italy/Iran though ... closed borders worked for Russia, and Singapore I think.

I feel badly for the seniors who worked hard all their lives only to see their final seasons wiped away because of an overreaction. It's not fair to them. The University of Pittsburgh told their seniors there will be no graduation ceremony. It's basically get your diploma and get out for the graduates.
Everyone is so worried about the virus that they forgot they're dealing with college students. If you cannot trust your own students to stay home when they're sick, you might as well close your doors. The unintended consequences of these measures are screwing with people's lives.

What is royally pissing me off is our local Gov. Inslee (Asshole, failed candidate) closing CHURCHES.
And FUCKING CHURCHES GOING ALONG WITH IT!
I mean, the one fucking place someone might want to go for comfort, or did go once upon a time, and they're closing.
Fuck it. I hope it does all burn down. We don't deserve nice things, like Brennah Black in a sheer bikini.
...
sorry, what was I talking about?

It was really interesting to have the "centurion" side something that he can turn on and off: I was expecting a full reset of his character after "The Big Bang" (because I've watched a lot of Star Trek, where the "Reset" button was hammered mercilessly) but what Moffat wound up doing was much better than I expected.

He used to come around the pool I worked at as a lifeguard.
We called him Corona-Pop.
I wasn't afraid of him then, and I'm not afraid of him now.
The only thing we need to fear is, uh, AR14s!
What? You're full of shit! Fight me!

Ivy League was the first to cancel. The games are played outdoors, so it's not like it's in a sweaty arena. I don't get it, and the fact I was going to the DI Championship - it's in Philly this year - really pisses me off.
Everyone is losing their minds.

You can do without the insults.
Europe collectively has about 20,000 cases - it's not just Northern Italy - about half the cases in Europe aren't in Italy. It is rapidly spreading into the rest of Europe.
Again, why are the Israelis taking this so seriously, if the only purpose of being concerned about the virus is to make Trump look bad?

I"m still of the mind that the bioresearcher I listened to on Fox a couple of weeks ago is correct. The bioresearch lab in Wahua was working on virus research and when said experiements were done, had lab workers who took animals out of lab that had survived and sold them to make some cash in the wahu meat market down the street. Like they have been known to do for years, this isn't something new. And then whoever bought them for dinner handled them , ending up with the virus from fluids , etc. and away it went.

Uh, no. Israel has a huge tourist sector, which is now completely shut down, and as a small country, is very dependent on being able to do business overseas.
Doing this is a huge hit to the israeli economy.

Ohio State has now cancelled the April Spring football game, which of course, is played outdoors. Unlike many schools spring games, this one typically attracts 65-75000 people who pay about $10 to get in. All profits from the game go to a designated charity.
Much of this is due to lawyers, IMO. Go to a sporting event or concert, catch coronavirus, sue said event.

So, the new line is that a Governor, for ANY perceived reason, can declare a State of Emergency, and then totally ignore the Constitution?
Closing churches is not only abrogating Freedom of Religion, but also the Right to assemble.

Also, Edrogan is keeping the Revolving door of Turkey open for 'Syrian refugees' (in reality anyone who crosses their Southern border) as long as they go to the EU.
We don't have an agreement with the EU to keep 'refugees' in the EU. So, ISIS guy goes to Turkey, enters EU, gets on a plane to the US where he demands asylum.

I had read that we were supposed to stock up on staples. I don't use staples much, most of my work is paperless, but I figured I'd better stock up. I went to Staples because that seemed like the place to find some. Sold out. Yes, the staples shelves at Staples were empty. Folks beat me to it.
