‪Personally, I think the most important thing to do during a pandemic is to tell the public which professional athletes are among your good friends. Incredibly helpful information. ‬Thank you, POTUS.

I suppose I'm going to have to. Sounds like a pump is clogged or needs to be replaced. This should be fun. Five year old appliance, isn't that about the lifespan now?

I don’t know. I’ll ask the kitchen staff next time I go to that part of the house. I have been living on snack food for five days in another part of the house. Hell, I don’t even know if they are coming to work. I also need to shower.

I was going to make a key lime pie tonight, now it looks like I'll be washing dishes in the creek or trying to fix the dishwasher without electrocuting myself.

He did not say we are opening up on (or by) Easter (or if he did in the Town Hall, he clarified it in the press conference). In the press conference, he said that he would like to. He said that it is a goal. He also said that he would be listening to what Fauci, Birx, etc. say, and hinted that the date is flexible (then deferred to Fauci who directly said that it is flexible). Look, he's a real estate developer. Real estate developers always set ambitious goals and they almost never get met. They don't move people in if it isn't safe/ready. In other words, dont read too much into his goal dates. He's also said that it may be some parts of the country that open up sooner than others, which was backed up by the experts (not that it WOULD, but that it COULD, and that some areas may be evaluated differently).

I don't want to defend him, but being aware of what was said helps to have a better discussion. I get it, he's the president, and people want to take what he says at face value as opposed to being a typical, overly-ambitious developer. But knowing his background, it just sounds like what I've heard hundreds of times over my career when clients have had building or grand opening dates that never hit the goal.

It is interesting that, for as often as many of you say that you don't trust a word he says (and I agree on that), some of you are sure quick to believe him on this date.

Not watching, but having a guy that thinks the moon landing was fake, asking a scientist questions about science, probably wouldn't fill me with much in the way of expectations.

I mean.... as long as we’re disregarding someone’s opinion based off of one thing they said, and I’m not necessarily saying that’s wrong to do... we could probably start here and roll down this hill together.

You did see that I was saying that I don't put any stock in Trump hoping for an Easter opening, right? Or maybe you were just reinforcing that point.

Also, I didn't say anything about Curry's opinion on this, it was just a joke about the nature of what his science questions might be like. I can't say that I'd have much expectation if I were to listen in on a conversation between Trump and Fauci either.

You must have wide sidewalks. If you and the person you're passing can extend your arms and touch hands, you're probably far too close (unless you've got a Bingham-esque wing span). People dont need to be coughing and sneezing to transmit this through the air.

People have been good in my neighborhood walking around. Usually one of us goes in the street, or up on a little bit of someone’s lawn. Every single person has been super friendly except for one. I say hi to everyone walking by, but this guy wearing a UM sweatshirt didn’t acknowledge me.

I told my husband about the UM douchebag when I got back from my walk. We decided to all go out for another walk with the kid, and we pass the same guy. I smiled again and said hello, and still nothing. Husband looks at me said, that has to be the Michigan douchebag. Yup.

Coincidence he’s a Michigan fan? I think not.

Watch Florida. Just like the US and Great Britain they have drug their feet on locking down. It’s gonna explode there I would assume. Right now there’s 85k cases and 1300 deaths. I bet by mid April Florida alone will mirror those numbers.

Dade and Broward counties were pretty quick to shut down schools, restaurants, events, etc., even if a little slow to go on full "shelter in place" orders. That may help. It seems like it has been kind of a microcosm of the US, where it was left to the cities/counties as to when and what they shut down, because some areas aren't really affected....yet. Of course, that just makes it more likely that they will be, and it has been easy for people to leave a hotspot to go elsewhere, potentially taking it with them.
