Here's one for ya, Neo. Who owns the Smithfield plant that had all the cases of Covid-19? Someone just asked that question.

Oh. Hmmmm. I think I get it now. So you were right? Where the hell is @New Scotland (NS)? He's usually all over this kind of thing.

How does one do that?

Yeah I think we're on the same page.

Let me/us know if you are able to enter your deposit info.

I keep getting a message that they can't determine my eligibility. A lot of people are getting that. The problem is, that tool is how you give the IRS your direct deposit info. I never get a refund, so they don't have mine. But they should have my bank info. from payments I've made.

Not sure about that. It's based on your 2018 return if you haven't filed 2019 yet. If anyone is waiting for a paper check, those are being sent out lowest income first. Not bragging, but Imma be waiting a loooooong time.

You're a germophobe and still went to the SS meetup? I need to know your ONE TRICK to win salary negotiations. You're not going to believe what it is!

I'd like to see the thread title changed to reflect that this isn't a news story, or a story at all.

I also heard that a strong argument against telling people to wear masks was the fear people would feel invincible and give up on social distancing.

And no social distancing. Which tells me that everyone in close contact with the president and vice president is tested on a daily basis. Or, more likely, there's no virus a'tall.

Are you criticizing people who don't wear masks? For weeks, the CDC's guidance was that people who aren't sick shouldn't wear masks, because there's no scientific evidence it helps prevent the spread of the disease. They knew there was asymptomatic spread. It was misinformation perhaps for a good reason (mask shortages), but it was misinformation nonetheless. I don't blame anyone who doesn't know what to do.

You might have been referring to another poster, but for the record I don't think the story itself is politically motivated. I think bringing the story back to the forefront at a particular time was politically useful. I'd like to say more!

They've got an expression down at Mara Lago, I imagine they've got it here in SabreSpace, fool me once... I forget the rest.

I would hope so... until the smoke alarm goes off.

Jim Lorentz, in the lab break room, with a "bologna" sandwich...

This sounds really promising, so much so that stock futures "surged" on the news that Remdesivir might be an effective anti-viral based on a trial of severely ill patients. https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/16/early-peek-at-data-on-gilead-coronavirus-drug-suggests-patients-are-responding-to-treatment/ I was watching the White House briefing and my ears perked up at how almost ebullient, to use a Fauci-esque word, the good doctor was when talking about what good or great shape the U.S. would be in by the fall. He is normally very cautious. I wonder if he knows there's a good treatment right around the corner.

Source, in what sense? I think it's been scientifically established that the virus is natural in origin (not man-made). So maybe the lab was studying it and someone got infected and carried it out the door. Of course there is an investigation. It's part and parcel of assigning blame to China for the disaster we're going through.

I think it's pretty clear the virus was raging through the city before social distancing took hold. It's horrifying to imagine what things would look like if nothing had been done. Ya know, if the flu people had had their way. Would it rhyme with Hourly?

This is refreshing in a day and age where everyone is an expert and knows better than people with true expertise, like RaKru and JaBo. #bombthrower

I don't mind a good pandemic, but snow in mid-April? That's where I draw the line.

Anyone been to the new(ish) National Comedy Center in Jamestown?

Creative destruction!

Pegula-Benson-Black-Sawyer-Battista. The black and gold tank crew. I'll never believe the tank was his idea. In fact, he explicitly said how far the rebuild was going to go would be up to Terry. Why Darcy left or was fired or whatever is still an open question — "he was doing too good a job at tanking" never made sense to me.

Does Muckler get credit for the Hasek trade? Darcy additions after the division championship team of 96-97 through the finals team: Rhett Warrener Stu Barnes Joey Juneau Geoff Sanderson James Patrick Jason Woolley
