Pandemic 2020

I'm assuming the 38 was a revolver, so no loss there, but fuck the shotgun unless your shooting through doors.
Get a .40 cal S&W/Glock with two15 round magazines, it's much more effective.
8 rounds in a 12 gauge ain't gonna be enough for true crowd control.

In combat you only use your sidearm to fight your way to your rifle......

Louisiana, Georgia, Maryland, Kentucky, Puerto Rico & Ohio have halted their Presidential primary voting scheduled for today.

As coronavirus pandemic delays 2020 primaries, is it time to worry about the November election?

Trump will use COVID-19 to stay in power.
Wanna bet?

Every state should prepare for mail-in ballots. No bet Jim, that is feasible.

Yep, can't win without cheatin'.

we've done mail in for a few years. the only part i don't agree with is that postage should be free. and they are oversized so a regular stamp isn't enough and alot get sent back to the sender.

Here is the difference between Canada and the USA, we are catching up, in terms of mortality, i'll look at it in another week, provided I don't get sick. I'm wondering what the response difference will be, measured in the grim statistics of death and illness. I've heard no complaints from the medical community about the Canadian government's response, some initial confusion, but it first time for everybody. It's one way to measure how Donald will do in this crises, Canada is a reasonably good model of a typical western government's response.

Georgia has already had early voting. The secretary of state has also been all over the TV stating that absentee ballots are an option and they're setting up a campaign to inform more people about them.

Republicans will use this to stay in power. Not just Trump.

People should contact their senators and tell them to support this bill:

Wyden Introduces Bill to Protect Voters and Elections Against COVID-19 Risks by Mandating Emergency Vote-By-Mail | U.S. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon

The Official U.S. Senate website of Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon

www.wyden.senate.gov

Oregon loves its vote by mail system. We forced it through a reluctant then-Republican controlled legislature through an initiative. It is well supported by both Republican and Democrats alike by more than 70%. No major issues. Voter participation is high.

It works. Not hard. Leaves a paper trail in case of issues with the count. Get it done

13 cases in my backyard, Nova Scotia, a sudden increase, thanks Halifax international Airport! Province has a about a million people and many are elderly, most young folks went west to green pastures and high wages. We are on lock down here too and the grocery stores are out of toilet paper and getting low on certain other things, people are over buying to leave home less often, I figure the stores will be stocked and empty of customers next week. We make toilet paper here and it's just a matter of extra shifts at the bumwad factories, same for sanitizer.

New study confirms monster volcano Katla is charging up for an eruption

Katla, a giant volcano hidden beneath the ice cap of Mýrdalsjökull glacier, is busy filling its magma chambers, new research confirms. An eruption in Katla would dwarf the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption, scientists have warned. The volcano is long "overdue" for an eruption, as it has...

Not if those workers contracted the virus

If anybody wants a drink during this fiasco, I suggest you learn the art of homebrewing and moonshine making. Ya can be drunk in a week, if ya get to work now, quicker than growing pot, that takes a while. If ya can't find a beer or wine kit, they sell yeast molasses and sugar at the grocery store! Youtube abounds with instructions, if ya can grow dope, ya can make liquor! Now pull yer tongue back in ye mouth and get to work ya old drunk!

I've got a few glasses down now (burp) & I figured I'd share some of my favorite songs dedicated to drinking on a day where everyone in the World wishes they were Irish ( What's up with that?)

Too true. Then there's the super volcano that is Yellowstone.
