Biden doesn't seem like a viable candidate anymore. He's been so infirm in his few media appearances this week, it just doesn't seem like he's going to be up to the task. In one of his fundraisers in Georgia he was reportedly telling donors that he would need to be replaced by his VP nominee early on. It's also possible that the DNC will nominate someone else at the convention when it's said and done. It's not that Biden has gaffes, per se. He has spells where he can barely talk.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they find some way to replace him with Andrew Cuomo. He has been very impressive in his handling of the emergency in New York. I doubt I agree with much of his politics (I don't know his policies well at all), but I could see myself voting for him simply based on his leadership skills.

No one can know to which degree either U.S or China under-reported cases, either by lack of testing or by manipulating information.

However, at this rate the whole point will be irrelevant. U.S. will lead the world by a wide margin. We need to keep an eye on India (which is struggling mightily with testing and their government is not the most transparent to say the least) and Indonesia (not doing enough/too late/low compliance by pop) though.

India is going to be really really bad.

They lack strong institutions, do not have great medical resources and cannot control the population with authoritarian edicts like China did. I fear for our brothers and sisters in the subcontinent.

Dude, you need to take some time for some self-reflection. All I have said is that pro-lifers who believe that we should get the economy rolling and let people die are morally inconsistent. I did not criticize pro life people or the people who believe that we should restart the economy faster, so your claim that I want to feel superior is a real head-scratcher.

If you don't hold these inconsistent beliefs, what is the point you are trying to make and why are you becoming so defensive and argumentative? You should have just said "I agree" after my first post and then moved on. Instead you called me a liar, I proved you wrong with evidence, and here we are.

Have a nice day.

I will assume I misunderstood the intent of your original post. Sounded to me like you were attempting to shame a swath of people by assigning them an argument that I don't believe they would ever make. If that's not what you intended to do I'll take your word for it. You have a nice day as well.

I will be paying off car repairs. So thanks to all you taxpayers who make more than me (which is probably all of you).
 
In RI, we are not far east of NYC, Ct. in between. Guess I had good reason, when this all broke, to feel that we were between a rock and hard place, NYC on one side, Boston on the other.

Effective last night: our governor is stationing state police where Interstate 95 enters RI, from Ct. All private vehicles with NY plates will be stopped, and occupants told that if they plan on remaining in RI, they must self quarantine for 14 days, and state their RI address. The RI National Guard will be stationed at all train stations and interstate bus stations, for the same purpose. Apparently, New Yorkers are traveling here to their summer homes. Truckers are the exception, as they are traveling through, in support of interstate commerce, and some are carrying medical supplies.

And the state will take it a step further. National Guard troops will go door to door in summer communities where New Yorkers own cottages, or more substantial homes, identifying New Yorkers, informing them of the 14 day self quarantine requirement. Police stationed at roads entering Westetly, RI, our SW corner town, on the Atlantic, bordering Ct. This town, and Charleston, RI, next town east, have a lot of summer cottages on or near the ocean. Residents are concerned, since these normally summer residents are using local markets once they are here, that they will bring the virus into our Atlantic coastal communities. So Democrat Gina Raimondo is our governor, and now I'm just hearing about this latest proactive step to identify New Yorkers arriving early, no doubt to escape the epicenter in New York. I'm guessing police are stationed at any secondary roads entering RI, from Ct., as well.

"Rhode Island Police to hunt down any New Yorkers seeking refuge":

Well, that is one way to put it. It is interesting, the ACLU is not pleased, not unexpected I would say, but RI has the right not to become a new hot zone. Easy for me to say, I live here, but I don't blame people for fleeing NY.

So after the whole primary process, you'd insert Cuomo? No Buttigieg, no Warren, etc.?

I have been that impressed. He's on every morning here, CNN, probably MSNBC. Listening to this guy is inspirational, I mean this is the kind of leader men follow into battle. His speech to the National Guard today was everything you want to hear from a leader preparing his troops for a new kind of enemy.

His command of the response his state is taking, the depth of his understanding, compared to Trump, is really commanding. This is a born leader, and his compassion for people, well, in my eyes it puts Trump to shame. And that's important I think. The compassion, that is, and fighting for his people. Of course he's putting lives first, his state is getting pummeled, but his from the heart rhetoric in that regard, has convinced me he would be a great president from that perspective as well.

And boy do we need that in a president.

The wife and I listen to a born leader every day, and every day we say "why couldn't this man be our president?". He's in his prime, and I think he would easily win any debate with Trump. Neither of us saw this coming, but there ya have it.

Sanders would have to stay in, to somehow deny Biden the needed delegates leading into any convention, but, yeah, in a heartbeat.
 
Jesus. Luxembourg has 602,000 people. 1,605 cases of Covid.

That ratio of cases per person is nearly twice as bad as Italy’s.

Today Gov. Herbert issued a Shelter-in-Place suggestion.

"My fellow Utahns, if you feel like it please stay in your home as much as possible, unless you have an urgent need to do whatever you feel like doing."
 
As the number of affected people reached 100,000 it's still amazing to me how many people standing around, walking around and are not wearing masks.

Are those people you see walking around old? Because that is excessive if they are not old.

And if you dont live in an urban city, then even for a an old person it's not that big of a deal.

Geography and business wise, Luxembourg is basically a part of Germany, France and Belgium. I.e difference not that visible for ordinary people. It is very well connected to all those countries. Similar to other tiny countries in Europe (San Marino, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Andorra). I guess that pre-Covid19 people might live in Luxembourg, but work in Germany, if both home and workplace are near the border.

It doesn't matter whether you're old or not, you can be a spreader at any age.

Also doesn't matter if it's an urban city or not, you can go in a 7eleven and spread germs when you talk if you don't have a mask on.
