    I *think* this is Alex Jones. It does not look faith-healer enough to be Jim Bakker. Any guesses? In court a week from tomorrow, if there is still court then.

    Sadly because we have limited resources and we waited too long to take this seriously, we're going to see more of this. Hospitals have to make a choice that frankly sucks but must be made: who had the best chance to survive and who will live the longest? This could have been avoided but this is where we are. Just look at Italy. Doctors are watching people die because they allowed them to die because someone else had a better survival chance.

    It's just barely started. This is going to be an everyday thing. Combat triage in U.S. hospitals because the people we put in charge screwed the pooch.

    Great job voting, maggots. Owning the libs again.

    Of course most of these people will die quietly and alone, maybe with only a couple family members on hand. And they'll get swamped in the numbers, and tomorrow a hundred more will die.

    But some of those family members will own guns. They'll figure out who to come after.

    I don't understand the need to bail out Wall Street at this point. Nobody is going to be planning vacations, travelling, etc. Focus on basic human needs. If nobody has any money it doesn't matter if somebody's open for business. Rebuild the economy from the ground up.
    My mom cancelled her housecleaning person this week, but wrote her a check anyway as an advance. If some billionaires (who we really haven't heard a lot from in terms of what they're willing to do to help) have to sell some artwork, fancy cars or two or three homes of their extra homes below market - well so be it.

    EDIT: Also, creditors band banks should be cutting people some slack. Zero accrued interest on credit cards for the duration, basic needs like power, cable and internet should accept say 30 percent of total due from customers (though I don't have a problem with some hard data limits - basic services should be basic). And I'd also suggest that any money given to tax payers should be like WIC cards useable only at grocery stores, gas stations, paying bills etc. and not be used for frivolous purchases.

    One other note - with so many companies laying people off to make sure they get unemployment - are we certain all of the states have the capability of paying all the claims? Why don't we start there, before handing out checks to everyone.
