Yesterday I got a tip that christian evanglical republican business chain Hobby Lobby was illegally reopening stores across the nation, violating state-mandated closures. So I called all 39 stores in Wisconsin and Ohio and found that 36 of them reopened Monday. One of three remaining stores opened briefly on Monday before being forcibly shutdown by police. When I called this store in West Allis, Wisconsin, an employee told me the store was closed but employees were still there "working on projects."

Covid-19 will be with us forever like the flu. Treatment and vaccines will ease the panic and both are being rapidly developed and tested right now. It's a waiting game.
Johnson and Johnson is saying that human trials start in September: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) (the Company) today announced the selection of a lead COVID-19 vaccine candidate from constructs it has been working on since January 2020; the significant expansion of the existing partnership between the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA); and the rapid scaling of the Company’s manufacturing capacity with the goal of providing global supply of more than one billion doses of a vaccine. The Company expects to initiate human clinical studies of its lead vaccine candidate at the latest by September 2020 and anticipates the first batches of a COVID-19 vaccine could be available for emergency use authorization in early 2021, a substantially accelerated timeframe in comparison to the typical vaccine development process.

When dinosaurs roamed the Earth 90 million years ago, the planet was much warmer, including Antarctica at the South Pole. But in a surprising twist, researchers have discovered evidence that Antarctica also supported a swampy rainforest at the time, according to a new study. Researchers captured a slice of the seafloor using a drill rig aboard a polar research vessel on West Antarctica's Amundsen Sea between February and March in 2017. The sediment core sample was taken near the Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers. CT scans of the sediment core revealed pristine samples of forest soil, pollen, spores and even root systems so well preserved that they could identify cell structures. The soil included examples of pollen from the first flowering plants found this close to the South Pole. They dated the soil, its fine-grained clay and silt to 90 million years ago. Their study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. | This is the southermost sample of the Cretaceous period collected so far, revealing what Antarctica was like between 83 and 93 million years ago. | The findings paint an unusual portrait of the South Pole, where West Antarctica's coast was free of the ice caps that cover it now and swampy rainforests covered the area instead. The average daytime temperature was 53 degrees Fahrenheit. While that sounds mild to us, this is incredibly warm for a location near the South Pole, where current daytime temperatures hover between negative 76 degrees to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. And, as the researchers point out, it's only two degrees warmer than Germany at the moment in March. The Antarctic ice sheet didn't exist at the time. River and swamp temperatures were likely around 68 degrees Fahrenheit. And the Antarctic summer temperature was likely around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. They estimate rainfall reached about 97 inches per year -- about the same as Wales today. The forests were similar to those now found on New Zealand's South Island, the researchers said. But how did Antarctica sustain temperate rainforests without year-round sunlight? Even millions of years ago, the South Pole endured what's known as a four-month polar night when no sunlight can be seen. The researchers investigated the levels of carbon dioxide that would have been in the atmosphere at the time. They found atmospheric carbon dioxide was much higher than expected based on existing climate models. Carbon dioxide has a warming effect on the atmosphere and the planet, creating a greenhouse effect by trapping heat from the sun. The high amount of carbon dioxide, combined with an ice sheet-less Antarctica covered in vegetation created the right conditions for a rainforest environment.

The snow-capped peaks of Idaho’s Wood River Valley are a magnet for movie stars and other wealthy tourists who throng the area each winter bearing their skis, their appetites and their cash. They come for the soft powder, stay for the parties at top-class restaurants and pump money into an otherwise remote wilderness region where the howl of wolves echoes through the night. But this year, somewhere between the lifts and the lodge, the tourists left behind something else: a deadly virus. Now the valley is a coronavirus hot spot, registering one of the highest infection rates per capita in the country. With 192 cases in a county of just 22,000 people — including two deaths — the share of the population testing positive is greater than even in New York City. The impact has been dramatic: The small hospital in Ketchum, the region’s hub, has partially shut down after four of its seven emergency doctors were quarantined. Patients are being ferried to facilities hours away. The fire department is relying on fresh-faced volunteers, trained in a day, to drive ambulances.

Lock them up in their churches/synogues/mosques/temples and throw away the keys.

A U.S. congressman is calling on the State Department to urge China to investigate the disappearance of three Chinese citizen journalists who sought to expose the impact of the coronavirus on the Chinese city of Wuhan. In a letter dated Tuesday, Republican Representative Jim Banks asked the U.S. government to seek a probe into the fates of Fang Bin, Chen Qiushi and Li Zehua. According to media reports, they went missing after taking videos and publishing them online including images of overwhelmed hospitals and corpses piled in a minibus. “All three of these men understood the personal risk associated with independently reporting on coronavirus in China, but they did it anyway,” Gallagher wrote, alleging that the Chinese government “imprisoned them - or worse.”

Imagine if Obama would have called the deaths of 100,000-200,000 Americans a victory. Just imagine it.

Republicans lost their fucking minds when one person in the US died from the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
Just a casual reminder that the Trump administration is still actively trying to repeal the entirety of the Affordable Care Act in court, which would cause an additional 20 million people to lose health insurance in the middle of a deadly pandemic
Barr threw out that 70,000 death toll from drugs number on purpose. Call me crazy, but I think it's to normalize the 100,000 projected death toll of the virus and downplay that huge number to make it easier for stupid people to swallow as acceptable. Same narrative as before. The flu angle didn't work. They tested the waters using that OAN stooge to bring abortions as deaths per week. Drug war is the current plan of attack.
- In Benghazi, where 4 American troops lost their lives, Obama and Clinton were hammered by the GOP for a lack of a response for months/years. With 11 hearings/investigations into the matter.
- With H1N1, where about 12,000 Americans lost their lives Obama was hammered by the GOP for a lack of a response for months/years, with a resurgence as a comparison.
- With Ebola, where 0 American lost their lives Obama was hammered by the GOP for a bringing the disease to our shores for months/years.
- Trump is pushing 100k-250k deaths as an achievement only he could accomplish. Then again Obama wouldn't consider this an accomplishment.
- He's also blaming Obama for not developing tests for a disease that didn't exist until almost 4 years after he left office. Totally reasonable.

Coronavirus could close most of New York’s food pantries in a matter of days even as the city’s reliance on them deepens during the pandemic, nonprofit heads warned Thursday. Three dozen lawmakers called on Albany leaders for $25 million in emergency food funding to meet the new demand and increased costs caused by the pandemic, when prices for basics like milk and eggs soar and thousands of New Yorkers are out of work from business closures meant to stop the spread of the deadly virus. Some 15% of small food pantries have already shut down, according to initial estimates, and more are expected to do the same in the coming weeks. Many of the pantries and community kitchens in a city database for New Yorkers who “need food immediately” are already closed. “We are in the middle of the most serious emergency food crisis in New York’s history. If New York state doesn’t act, within days most of New York’s food pantries will close. That is an impending disaster,” said David Greenfield, CEO of Met Council, which has a network of dozens of food pantries across the city. “Needy homebound seniors literally don’t have access to food. People who have lost their jobs are calling us and begging for food.” This week alone, Met Council has seen a 57% increase in the number of families seeking food after a job loss, Greenfield said. City Harvest, which “rescues” unused food from businesses to distribute to pantries and soup kitchens, has seen a 30% increase in attendance at mobile markets where New Yorkers can get fresh produce, according to the nonprofit. “Some of the pantries we deliver food to have also seen more people on their lines,” City Harvest CEO Jilly Stephens said. “Additionally, more than 50 programs we typically serve have had to close their doors over the past week due to health concerns or lack of staffing, so there are even fewer places for New Yorkers experiencing food insecurity to turn to.”

Global oil storage could reach maximum capacity within weeks, energy analysts have told CNBC, as the coronavirus crisis dramatically reduces consumption and some of the world’s most powerful crude producers start to ramp up their output. The coronavirus pandemic has meant countries have effectively had to shut down, with many governments imposing draconian measures on the daily lives of billions of people. It has created an unprecedented demand shock in energy markets, with storage space – both onshore and offshore – quickly running out.

Insane distrust of the truth and belief in conspiracy theories will kill people: An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed near the Port of Los Angeles in an attempt to crash into and damage the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say. | No one was injured in the derailment, but the train leaked fuel that required a hazmat response. | The Mercy arrived at the Port of Los Angeles this weekend. The Navy hospital ship was brought in to handle non-coronavirus patients, to help ease the burden of local hospitals that are surging with COVID-19 cases. The ship has about 1,000 hospital beds, with some 800 active-duty doctors, nurses and medical staff on board. It is expected to stay in Los Angeles at least until September or until it is no longer needed.
