Interesting comments from CDC Director Robert Redfield:

"I guess I anticipated the private sector would have engaged and helped develop for the clinical side … I can tell you, having lived through the last eight weeks, I would have loved the private sector to be fully engaged.”



That's weird because I would have thought the private sector is capable of fixing all problems. Maybe they were afraid Trump wouldn't pay the bill.

UVA closing down too. Friend owns several coffee shops that serve A LOT of students. He is also opening a restaurant/brewery/event space in the next two months. This really hurts him big time.

There's a very easy way to tell dumb people from smart people. Or at least people with the ability to develop a cognitive thought.

Dumb people: The flu kills way more people per year.

Smart people: Influenza has been around for 2,400 years. COVID-19 has been around for three months.

Your memes, prayers, and thoughts are no match for science and mathematica.


It started to spiral from there.

Bucky jumped on this reply:

COVID-19 has been around for many years, look at a Lysol bottle (older than 3 months ago, like years..) it says it kills the virus. Not a new virus, media is making it more than what it is.


We have a dumbass walking around the office saying this. Urge to kill rising.

They should move the tournament down here to South Florida and play it outdoors. The UV rays kill the virus so it would actually be healthy for the players.
