    Fauci is the latest pinata on Q-Anon; you're seeing the party line being distributed for free via FB.

    I hate to say this, but wouldn't President Christie have been better than President Trump?

    Another bullshit conspiracy theory out there is Bill Gates somehow created the virus so he could fund some sort of vaccine, take away everyone's freedum by forcing them to take the vaccine and get even richer.

    Which, of course, makes zero sense. Gates has a net worth of more than $102 BILLION. He's 65 years old. If he lives 20 more years to 85, he could spend $4 billion a year, which is roughly $11 million per day, on whatever the fuck he wants and still have more than $20 billion to leave to whomever or whatever he wants. Why should he devote so much time and effort just to force people to take a vaccine when he could spend it on the beach on his own private island with Melinda or a bunch of hookers?

    Seriously, people are dumb.

    That's why I said "at least" 3 weeks away. With my blue governor, I'm pegging June 15 as the day I'll get to make a haircut appointment (which may be so booked I won't get one till July).

    At least one city in my deep blue county resisted and prevented the more-strict county-wide restrictions from being extended. So state is all we're dealing with now.

    A good indicator of economic activity, freight volumes on US railroads fell more than 25% in April, worst decline in 30 years, including 17% drop in intermodal (retail imports). Norfolk Southern alone took a $385M (!) charge just for idle locomotives in the latest quarter.

    Plus, one of the wacko conspiracy theories I heard is that Gates is backing a vaccine that also will contain some kind of way that would allow the government to track you.
    Again, what would be the upside to that for a guy like Bill Gates? Why would he give a fuck?

    Only 75,000 dead to date. It'll be 100 by Memorial Day. Fantastic.

    And you fuckers have your mouths clamped firmly over his teeny toadstool. You're going down.

    Ironically, some of the politicians praising how he’s handled things wanted him to resign at one point.
