Holy shit, it looks like some states are close to actually clashing with the feds in regards to them seizing supplies.

If you'd have told me this 10 years ago, I would've assumed it was republican states trying to "states' rights wargarbl" themselves out of helping others. Now, it's the exact opposite way around.

*A RECAP OF THE LAST THREE WEEKS*

AMERICA: Oh my god! Coronavirus! What should we do?

CALIFORNIA: Shut down your state.

AMERICA: Wait... what? Why?
CALIFORNIA: Because 40 million people live here and we did it early, and it’s working.
OHIO: Whoa... whoa... let’s not be hasty now. The president said that this whole coronavirus thing is a democratic hoax.
CALIFORNIA: He also said that windmills cause cancer. Shut down your state.
TEXAS: But the president said that we only have 15 cases and soon it'll be zero.
CALIFORNIA: The president can’t count to fifteen. Nor even spell it. Shut down your state.
NEW JERSEY: Us too?
CALIFORNIA: Yes, you guys too. Just like when Christie shut down the bridge, but it’s your whole state.
FLORIDA: But what about all these kids here on spring break?? They spend a lot of money here!
CALIFORNIA: Those kids invented the tide pod challenge. Shut down your state.
LOUISIANA: But wait let’s have Mardi Gras first. It entertains people.
CALIFORNIA: It also kills them. Shut it down.
GEORGIA: Ok well how about we keep the state open for all of our mega churches? Maybe we can all pray really hard until the coronavirus just goes away!
CALIFORNIA: Which is working like a charm for mass shootings. Jesus told us to tell you to shut down your state.
OKLAHOMA: What about the tigers?
CALIFORNIA: What about a dentist. Shut it down.
WYOMING: Hold up, maybe we should go county by county like the president said.
CALIFORNIA: Stop acting like there are counties in Wyoming. There are no counties in Wyoming. Wyoming is a county. Shut it down.
PENNSYLVANIA: But big coal.
CALIFORNIA: But big death. Shut it.
WEST VIRGINIA: But we were the last state to get coronavirus!
CALIFORNIA: And don’t make us explain to you why that was. Shut it down.
NORTH CAROLINA: But the republican national convention is coming here!
CALIFORNIA: SHUT... ok fine do what you want.

Point of order, as a (relatively new) New Orleanian. The fuck I would have done Mardis Gras, like most people, if we knew how severe this shit was going to be. Hindsight is 20/20, after all...

the rest of Louisiana can duly go fuck itself though.

I was looking at the movement data Google released, and Colorado is empty, surrounded by a sea of idiots. I would like that border wall around Colorado Trump promised now please. :p

The largest medical PPE distributer in America is a 2 week old company run by a "former" Republican fundraiser.

For those who want to see the source of this (and other ways the administration is gaming the system), someone has collected them in this reddit thread. The above reason is #3 in a list of 7 (plus any more that might've been added in later replies).

I hope our republic survives long enough to bring all the disgorgement cases to trial.

Parking lot deals to get PPE just to avoid feds. The dysfunction on display should end in masses of politicians against the wall.

Jesus Christ, everything going on in the U.S. is the kind of stuff you see at the start of a dystopian movie. Like, a highlight reel of the domino events or the opening text crawl.

And now we know why all that kind of scenes take place in the USA. It's not because Europe and Asia we're instantly overrun/lost, but because our politicians are, perhaps not competent, but at least not as bad as those guys.

Oh, believe me, we know.
The trouble is, I have absolutely no idea how Mr. & Mrs. Joe Average-Pleb can effect any change! I don't know enough about Civics to know who I gotta call or what I gotta do in order to do anything about it NOW instead of having to endure until the next election cycle.

I don't want a revolution. Revolutions are too disruptive. I just want to get rid of the people who are allowing their greed to overpower their sense of personal responsibility to their constituents.

COVID-19 has been found in a tiger at the Bronx Zoo, now having respiratory issues.

... If the same can hit house cats, this could become much worse than it already is.

It's been found in a house cat here in Belgium. In the faeces of the cat, and it for our from its owner, not the other way around. Whether a cat can actually re-infect a human isn't clear.
