There won't be agreement on the topic so why argue about it.

I don't think the tournament should be cancelled and I think those in charge are overreacting and causing a lot of anxiety.

That's all i'll be saying about the subject directly.
Except, no, you said that you don't perceive your actions here to affect anyone else.

I don't think it's reasonable to expect, or even logical to ask, everyone to shut themselves in. But you really don't get to say the only side of the equation here is the risk you are assuming.

That moment when I'm siding with Vice President Pence over pDubs

Pence says there's been 'irresponsible rhetoric' from people downplaying coronavirus

This would explain a series of several retweets of reasonable, logical cautions and messages this morning.

The virus could not possibly be real to Trump until he has it.

I don't think we are arguing with you, we are trying to explain to you why you are wrong. Why your attitude is dangerous.

You can pretend you can fly if you want, but once you jump off the edge of the building over the crowded sidewalk below; gravity will prevail.

Dow down 2,200 so far today. Nearly all gains since Trump took office have been erased.

Maine is cold. I'll set the early number at 23.5.

Bad comparison but this has reached 9/11/01 levels. Panic, unknown, stoppage of "normal" life, what's next, etc.,

Saw it coming miles away. The early infected numbers were ridiculous.

I said the other day that the guy at CPAC changed the calculus.

Suddenly Matt Gaetz doesn't think it's so funny and POTUS doesn't think it's a media-created exaggeration.

Weird.

9/11 was rough, but there was a sense that it was a one-off event.

Fall 2002 was the weirdest, most-panicked moment I can recall. No one knew when or where. You could be mowing your lawn in Maryland, at the Home Depot in Falls Church, or getting gas in Fredericksburg and in an instant you were dead.

Heard Malvo just got married. Eligible for parole in 4 years?
