At the same time, it's my understanding that New York is having such a large problem because many Italians flew in from Italy to that region. But I don't recall anyone calling that out at the time.

Perhaps not NFT. But you can get into other forms of hydro real cheaply if you're thrifty.

Yeah but infrastructure is already up. A lot of the work required for upkeep doesn't require as many people as is required to build it out in the first place.

We regularly euthanize diseased pigs and chickens because of viral outbreaks - sometimes millions at a time. We would do well to try not eating so much animal protein.

You are absolutely right. Viruses proliferate in large groups of animals in the conditions we keep them in. So much so that we routinely euthanize millions of animals to prevent viral outbreaks. Avian flu and swine flu both can mutate into

The philanthropy is certainly admirable and appreciated, though, it shouldn't immediately discount intent for those whose job it is to worry about stuff like that. But personally, I do think it's pretty clearly well intentioned on

H1N1 also came from viruses from pigs in North America. So it's not just bushmeat. I think we have our share of work to do here as well.

We could also nationalize the airline industry. We've already seen how capitalism alone is a poor predictor of future demand. And while we're at it, let's make the internet a utility.

They're obviously not useless. They do keep spittle down. But every person in public would have to wear them in the off chance they're asymptomatic carriers. And a virus will still penetrate most masks through the sides where air

We can start by not having a president that continues to peddle disinformation in a time of national crisis. I don't remember any other president in my lifetime being this factually incorrect this many times. Also as a matter of fact b

That comes with the territory. However partisan comments like yours never seem to address the issue. Is this administration doing what it should be doing to mitigate the spread of this pandemic?

People have been migrating to California long before the US existed. In fact, it was first colonized by migrants. There are people with family spanning generations on both sides and the border pretty much crossed them.

Took me all of 10 minutes to set up irssi on a free google cloud vps many years ago. It's still chugging along. ~ uptime 23:22:27 up 787 days, 15:10, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 It's not that hard.

My WinCo in Southern California is impeccable. I think how well kept the store is has a lot to do with who the people running the store are - especially management, I would imagine.
