I'm glad he's improving but still **** that guy


He's been in the hospital for at least 2 1/2 weeks.

Case in point as to why staying home/social distancing is so important.

I know there are more serious ramifications of COVID and I'm trying my best to be cool/sensitive about all of that, but in the last month, 1) the NBA cancelled their season, 2) March Madness cancelled the men's and women's tourney, and now 3) Harris County has taken away my ability to actually play basketball in public.

As a basketball fan, this is literally the worst case scenario. This **** sucks, man.

People are dying alone because they are quarantined and you're whining about not being able to play some hoops? Unbelievable.

There's a distillery in Galveston that has converted over 100% to making hand sanitizer. Last I heard it was only being sold to law enforcement but they were hoping to make enough for walk-in sales.


Buddies brewery in ATL (Dry County Brewing) shut down everything to do the same. Pretty cool, smart too

Disagree on this. We did take measures must faster than NY, plus we advantages with lower density. The biggest issue in NY is hospital capacity and we've got plenty. The other evidence is the fact that you're not seeing California over run in the same way. I'm not saying that we're out of the woods, but we are not headed toward being NY.
We also didn't have woke city leadership on the news telling us to go cozy up to the Chinese in our community during Chinese NY celebrations.
You must not have watched the news in February or the first week of March. They sure as hell did. Maybe not specifically for Chinese New Year, but they all made a show of pandering to Chinatown, including several local news folks.

One example:

I apologize for upsetting you for expressing that I am upset about one of the very many things to justifiably be upset about during this whole ordeal, especially since it wasn't the thing that you felt I should be upset about at this exact moment in time though I am, rest assured, pretty upset about that thing too.

I'll make sure to only be upset about just that one thing going forward though, sir. No other things to be upset about.

Guess I missed that...as did probably everyone else in the city aside from some granolas in Montrose.

I'm sure you're not calling me a granola in Montrose. It was all over the TV news. The mayor, Gene Wu, and other local officials and media figures downplayed this for weeks and bent the knee in Chinatown.

if anyone was watching the corona virus task force presser today they talked at length about pushing back on the cartels right now. that is why my ship is headed down there. So basically Trump talked about me on national television.

Good thing I leave my mail in the box all week. Gives time for the virus to die before I transfer it to the recycle bin.

Sorry to derail the topic further, but why did the cartels come up on a pandemic task force briefing? I get they are bad and all of that but WTF does that have to do with the stopping the pandemic? Do people believe drug smugglers pose a significant risk for spreading the virus?

That's an interesting thought. Do you think Donald Trump knows how to drive a car?

Don't the cartels usually smuggle people over the border to bring the drugs in? If so, there could be some concern about that as well and not knowing who's coming in.

no way. There are plenty of peasant type new Yorkers that don't drive, for sure a billionaire new Yorker isn't going to drive. he has someone for that.

Wait, I thought it all started at the cookoff.

Even my Asian (not Wuhan or Chinese or dog eaters) in laws were telling us to not go to Chinatown in January but by that time I think it had already spread all over Europe so all kinds of travelers were probably bringing it in.

What I heard is because there is less traffic making it across the border(Mexico is finally helping enforce the border due to Covid) they have less mules.
