I was going to say it's political when politicians pull out the next thing on their to-do list and say it's because of the crisis, while at the same time overriding the CDC and classifying its doings.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. —Philip K. Dick

Joe Rogan #1439 with Michael Osterholm

Turns out that deer have a wasting disease that will end deer hunting, which controls the herds.

Saunas only work next to an ice-covered lake.

I'm only half way through it.

People believe in creationism too.

The anti hunting people love chronic wasting disease. They would love to end deer hunting based on a disease that isn't known to be able to jump to people. That would greatly reduce numbers of hunting licenses sold, which is the number 1 source of conservation funds.
Then the deer herd population will boom, until the population eats all the food or there is an unusually cold winter and they starve to death.

I'm working from home as everyone in the Netherlands who is able to work from home is asked to do so.
All events with more than 100 attendees are canceled.
These measures are taken for the remainder of March, but will likely be extended until Corona is under control.
Schools are open, officially, but 25% of schools decided to ask parents not to bring their children unless they really need to. Parents are denied access to schools anyway to prevent unnecessary contacts. I expect a total school ban next week.

President Jair Bolsonaro of Brasil has tested positive for Corona, a day after his aide Fabio Wajngarten also tested positive. They must have been infected about a week ago. I wonder who they met?

(this was last week)

For confirmation go to people just like you.

Not to worry, I think the tanning spray should work against the virus.

With out people like me a 2 billion dollar operation stops.
If I was a business owner I would look to this as a test as to who I really need and who I don't really need.
