Just to play devils advocate here.  But masks produced in China being shipped out of Bangkok.  Sounds like this might be more of a confiscation of a black market transaction than the US seizing a shipment just because.  

i was told we weren't allowed to add context to things here.

How does one do this? I'll be cooking with a friend, but may hop on because I'll be chocolate wasted.

This bitch is crazy.

A doctor even said it yesterday, it's proportional to minorities because minorities tend to make up a majority of the homelessness and low income quotient. Thus, they have poor healthcare and struggle with a lot of ailments that contribute to aiding the virus like diabetes, smoking, poor lifestyle choices, drugs, etc.

She's just trying to stay relevant.  She comes from a district that has voted one way pretty much forever where the rate of poverty has only increased and education rates have decreased over the years.  Her rise could easily be a case study in what power and having your ass kissed constantly does to people - bartender to elected official on the national stage and it's clearly gone to her head as she thinks she's an expert when it comes to the environment, healthcare, etc.  By most accounts she seems to spend most of her time not doing things that benefit her constituents while she soaks up the national spotlight but that's not unusual in politics.

Looks like LHalo forgot there is already an AOC thread.

AOCDS

The Treasury should just cut her a check for $10 million if she'll agree to go away and not bother the country anymore.

I mean, $10 million is pocket change at this point, and the benefits of her being gone would greatly outweigh the cost.

This is some serious AOCDS right here.

The figure increased the national death count to 6,921 as of early afternoon Pacific time. Nationally, there are more than 261,438 confirmed cases.

I drove our truck around the block a few times the other day after I realized it hadn't moved in a couple of weeks

Hopefully your parole officer can get you off house arrest soon.

I don't know why they even release the number of known cases, it's completely misleading to compare country to country or even state by state.  No one knows how the aggregate number compares to the number of actual infected.

Anyway, deaths are a pretty firm measurement, give or take, and scary that we don't look like we even close to a plateau yet:

2nd story like this today.  The infant death in Connecticut possibly a lie. Corona may have suddenly ended all other causes of death.

At one point CA and NY had the same number of cases while NY now has about 10x as many.  I don't know how much testing we're doing in CA now vs. NY but I would hope we're doing about the same amount.  If we stick to the lock down and follow social distancing hopefully CA is past the worst of it long before places like NY, NJ, CT and LA are.
