He's telling us straight out, "stay home." And risking his life doing it (he's 79).

I really hope he stays on for the next Dem administration!

Fauci said he's recommended a nationwide 14-day shutdown to the WH. Gov Cuomo's begging for the military to be mobilized to set up mobile hospitals.

It's a slow-mo Pearl Harbor, and we will need to spool up an effort akin to that of WW2. At the least.

Lemme see now, which state and local governments won WW2? Which state put a man on the moon? Hmm

He must have a death wish?

Avoid other people as much as you can, and the asshole advises troves of people to mix and that raises the odds that we will have a flood TO hospitals.

Definitely billing that dumb SOB if you get infected and have a bad time?

Maybe start a line of WHAT WOULD DEVIN DO? T-Shirts, Blood Red with pentagrams and devil horns on shoulders and a big long tail on the back?

I am not a health expert, and for the next three weeks I am not going anywhere; and it may extend way beyond that.

My wife has to go into her job tomorrow long enough to pick up a secure laptop to work from home. I am locking the gate, rolling up the sidewalk, and hanging the NOT WELCOME sign.

I am glad Fauci told the truth. Trump will probably be canning him soon. He does not have the "right attitude." I suspect that Fauci is walking a tightrope thinking that he needs to be where he is. He is having to balance the whole truth with the ability for us to get some truth.

I am waiting for some patriot, at a live Trump function, to get up and speak the damn truth until they are dragged out kicking and screaming. Trump needs to hear it. It would be a great morale booster for all of us who are rolling the rock in front of our caves.

if you don't have to be. I wonder when those around Trump will tumble to the idea he doesn't give a damn about them?

up for dinner. I would love to see him, but I am now wondering if that is such a good idea. He is a pilot w/ Delta and I am also worried that he may have been exposed as well. I honestly hope not. I hate that I have to even think about these things.
