Probably easier to make a list of what we can buy, not what we cannot.

Many mini, private versions of this crisis happens to millions of Americans each year. If you are in support of what is in effect emergency welfare now, you should be more open to it for other dire situations in the future. People get price gouged out of vital drugs, laid off/can't work due to health problems, go bankrupt due to medical fees, and must wait 1 year+ for the possibility of being evaluated for disability. Most don't end up getting it.

There is no moral component to closing places where people regularly congregate. Stop pretending there is one.

Yep, which is why state and/or local governments are closing all restaurants, not just the ones they don't like.

It is not the Government's job to choose whose business succeeds and fails.

Better to have temporary restaurant closures than your grandfather unable to get treatment for his stroke because the beds are full with wuhan flu patients.

The story never made sense from the get-go. What does it even mean to say "Drumpf wants to buy CureVac REEE" in the first place? Turn it into a postal-service like government corporation? Something for his personal portfolio? Even at the surface level the story made no sense.

News orgs pre-write stories for all sorts of outcomes all the time so they dont have to scramble when it actually happens.

the Republican primaries were some of the best politics the world has ever seen–it makes me proud to have fought in the meme wars but also sad that it was a once-in-a-lifetime event.
