Is anybody else's "internets" running really slow tonight?

I wonder as America shuts down and more and more people go online will slow speeds
be a fact of life?

Look I get the feeling that we are in for a shit storm the will rage around us for God knows how long
but if I can't download youtube videos of 'gators crossing fences I will be lost.

Just asking for "a friend" but if both Trump and Pence are unable to continue in their jobs ....

.... because they got C-19 wouldn't Nancy Pelosi become President?

And would that not also prove the existence of a just God too?

Pence & Trump are idiots

Pure gibberish. Any lab in America can do the tests. Pence. Results and other results will be looked @ to see the results. Trump. It has to do with nucleic acids and the RNA. Trump's director of his Corona virus program.

From the Trump administration, after a Seattle teen found to have coronavirus: "Stop Testing"

A must read

People died and will die because the Trump Administration didn't want the bad news about the Coronavirus
to get out.

I just saw Noam Bramson the Mayor of New Rochelle, NY on MSNBC can he be POTUS now?

I had no idea who he is or had I seen he before but I was very impressed.

The situation is changing by the hour and we are going to respond by listening to
the experts and in this case that is the people from the state. very rough quote

The coronavirus math ... I hope I am wrong.

The coronavirus math … I hope I am wrong.

330,000,000 people (US population) x .40 (40 % infection rate … low end) x .03 (3% lethality rate) = 3,960,000 deaths …. my best guess

Again this is subjective on my part.

NY Times, A scientist in 2018 "The threat of pandemic flu is the No. 1 health security concern,"...

... and then Trump fired him. (Because "that Black Guy" started the office to prepare for global
pandemics and then funding was cut for coronavirus vaccine [SARs] too.)

NY Times: For Trump, Coronavirus Proves to Be an Enemy He Can’t Tweet Away

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Defending against criticism of his handling of the coronavirus, President Trump suggested the other day that he could hardly have been expected to be ready for such an unexpected crisis.

“Who would have thought?” he asked during a visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nerve center for the government’s response to the outbreak. “Who would have thought we would even be having the subject?”

Actually, quite a few people would have thought, and did — including the officials in his own White House who were in charge of preparing for just such a pandemic only to have their office shut down in a reorganization in 2018. “The threat of pandemic flu is the No. 1 health security concern,” one of the officials said the day before that happened two years ago. “Are we ready to respond? I fear the answer is no.”

For a president who lives in the moment, rarely planning too far ahead, the coronavirus has proved to be a leadership challenge he was not prepared for either. The outbreak that has rattled the nation does not respond to Mr. Trump’s favorite instruments of power: It cannot be cowed by Twitter posts, it cannot be shot down by drones, it cannot be overcome by party solidarity, it cannot be overpowered by campaign rally chants.
