I have no idea what I'm going to do for a gym if this goes on too long (and it seems like it will).

I'm no fan of Cuomo, but he has been exactly what you want in this kind of crisis. He's giving people the honest truth and answering questions and not ducking out or pulling the "everything is beautiful" line. Good on Cuomo for taking clear, decisive action.

We've got 7 cases in the Buffalo area and they only started testing. This is going to get way worse before it gets better.

It's the same here in KY and Ohio as well. I live in the country where a lot of that doesn't directly affect me, but the shopping situation definitely will with the stores changing their hours of operations. My only Internet is from my phone, and AT&T in this area is getting hammered where I won't have that for much longer it appears.

I have no idea how ISPs and cell providers are going to handle so many people working from home, not to mention every school kid playing Fortnite..errr I mean doing his/her homework.

I mean my company is set up for people to work remotely, not nothing close to being able to handle nearly everyone.

Bernie needs to drop out, stay a Democrat, fully endorse Biden, and tell his supporters that stopping Trump is the best for everyone. Then he needs to go away.

Allow people to delay these elections as they'll be mostly meaningless anyway.

Bernie supporters can't accept the simple fact - even among Democrats we don't like him. He's simply far too left for even many Democrats. The idea that he'd do well in a general election is comical. I know what some early polls showed, but no way that holds up.

Well, to be fair, if only the people who vote for him count, he'd win in a landslide.
 
I wonder if he's aiming for something in the Cabinet or other diplomatic role? Maybe the best he could do is have a role in foreign policy? Especially post-Corona Virus?

I guess while this is going on Trump bombed Iraq again while still sanctioning Iran?

I think its just hard to walk away. Which is why you need people around him to talk him into doing the right thing. Unfortunately he has surrounded himself with people who didn't vote for the nominee last time and therefore aren't going to be the type to talk him into uniting.

Our leadership is going to f*** this up too and we'll get Trump for another 4 years. If republicans end up being to the left of our party when it comes to helping people we deserve to lose.
