Covid-19

Jeez mate, that's not even a strong NZ accent! Fuken' eh' bro..sux bug tuts.:D

Most intelligible Kiwi I've ever heard.

So, when time is of the essence regarding diagnosis and treatment, the Chinese send the proverbial slow boat? I’m taking this with an entire shaker of salt, since this information comes from a Chinese media outlet. I doubt the CCP had no influence over this press release, and therefore will wait for a different source with more credibility to back it up. Until then, I will treat this as CCP propaganda.

The first story I saw on that was an English Czech piece, but I couldn't spy it when I went looking.

I'm thinking if that's the test you've got and it's of some use, you send it out. As long as everyone understands the limitations of it and uses it accordingly.
 
Real shortages and chaos hasn't even started yet. I fear for our country if things get actually bad.

A Bipartisan Boogaloo?

"So far, especially here in America, people have come together in a way we’ve not seen in decades. A few malcontents doing things like hoarding and profiteering aside, most everyone seems to be remarkably onboard with the idea of helping out to reduce the overall burden. Congress, for once willing to put aside its usual petty squabbling with a minimum of face saving, passed a massive relief package. Things are scary, but it looks like the best of humanity is out to play.

So why, then, am I seeing so much talk about the boogaloo from both the Left and the Right?"

I’m more inclined to believe that the Chinese government said that to save face, as opposed to actually admitting their tests were defective. Again, I’d like outside proof.

I’ll do a Google search when I get home for the Czech news report, but I’m highly skeptical. The Chinese government could tell me the sky was blue and I’d look for an outside source. Their behavior at the beginning of the outbreak is why.
 

So we homeschool, right? Aside from not going to the mall, my family has not been impacted by this at all.

But come on, really? That's the dumbest thing I've ever read. The parents can take a little bit of responsibility and help their kids become better people and marginally educated, that's on them. In fact, I think we'll see transformation of education on the other side of this.

My son's "Catholic" home school curriculum is better then the brick and mortar Catholic School he was attending.
They are pissed because the indoctrination has been impacted, and they may have lost a generation of robots.

Agreed. As someone who was homeschooled (K-12), and has taken a number of online college classes, I think it can potentially be a lot more efficient than a traditional classroom environment.

This event is going to slay a lot of sacred cows, no pun intended, in a whole lot of professions. I predict you're going to see a lot of people in public education lash out in anger on the other side of this because they will be threatened.

Some of them should be, especially in NC. Not all - there are a LOT of great teachers out there doing some great work - I think it's fair to say that describes the majority. But there are also more than a handful who wouldn't be employed if not for tenure.

And the whole "homeschooling will set children back" would be laughable if it weren't so earnest.
 
Rhode Island Police to Hunt Down New Yorkers Seeking Refuge

So I've been trying to think of something meaningful to say for the past week or so in regards to the potential of civil unrest or 'the boogaloo' and generate discussion on the probability, cause and effect, etc aside from shitposting and memes. Of something like that happening. While I haven't been able to really form something to say just because I don't feel as if we're truly under a police state and still have a ways to go.

This article and what RI is doing really raises red flags for me. I'm pretty flexible on my stance of government/state intervention of certain things, the world isn't black and white and needs differing solutions for differing problems.

But when you start getting the Police doing checkpoints on main interstates, and the NG to conduct house to house searches to find people who are traveling out of state. You're about a dance and a jig from starting quarantine camps and forceful relocation. In my eyes atleast.
