    Agree. Best country in the world. Never wished more that I lived here all the time.

    I don't wish suffering on anyone but in some ways I'm glad western society is experiencing some of this. Especially the realisation that money and food etc can suddenly become not a given.

    Just think they're girls blouses. Especially the younger ones sitting inside sucking their thumbs and the reality is there's stuff they can do and they aren't going to die so get out and help people or do something, don't be sitting in your home whinging there's no work. Take an old person's dog for a walk, go and shop for the elderly that shouldn't be out, deliver medical aid so I ask again, other than hiding indoors and sucking your thumbs, what actual worthwhile contributions are people doing at this time? Didn't get an answer the first time cause the answer is wimpy.

    Trump has adopted socialism to deal with Coronavirus. He just offered to give every American a check for $1000 so the economy could get kick-started again. Behind the curtain, Trump has made an offer to a German company which makes virus medication/vaccine. An official with the German government has confirmed this and said they would meet over the issue the next day. Trump's attempt to set himself up for profit might be a violation of American law. In America all bills of revenue must originate in the House of Representatives. And that means it is in Pelosi's world. If Trump offered his own personal or corporate money, that would fall under the emoluments clause, at a minimum. The $1000 checks are supposed to go out to the American people in two weeks, so Trump must want that German medical company real bad.

    And will you gracefully take from the hand of the person you bite the most?

    I'll assume they'll take the money but probably won't tell anyone and then accuse Trump some more. Yeah that's exactly how I picture it going down lol.

    No sooner do I retire then we get hit with a plague.

    Here in Oregon now they've closed bars down and restaurants can only serve takeout food. They couldn't have waited until after St. Patrick's Day. I'm going to a friend's place later with a bottle of whiskey, he's having a few people over. He says he has beer, pot and hand sanitizer.

    Libraries and book stores are closed, coffee shops as well can only sell coffee to go, some movie theatres are closed. And currently there are only about 40 cases of coronavirus in the whole state! Fighting off the virus is one thing, fighting off boredom is another.
     
  15. All Trump does is selflessly give and give and give, and all his critics do is take, like ungrateful dogs. /sarcasm

    Are you able to get alcohol? Or are bottle outlets closed too. Asking for a friend in Australia because we're not far away from lock down.

    The American Coronavirus response package is being moved forward by both Democrats and Republicans. Its origins are in the Democrat Party when Roosevelt was president, starting with the Great Depression and the effort to save America from Hoover's stupid economic policies. It worked then. Bush Junior tried it with $300 checks after 911. Obama gave us $200 checks in 2008/9 to help us recover from the Bush stupidity. Now Trump wants to give us $1000 because the election is coming. Democrats are saying they want to give us $2000 immediately, then $1500 in the summer, and $1000 in the fall. Everyone agrees that Germans and Australians should not get a single dime.

    this will not go away until everyone takes responsibility for their own actions , and stays inside away from contact until corona burns itself out.
