This shit has gone completely off the rails.

I work for a large defense contractor in King of Prussia. We were just told today that mandatory temperature scans for all employees begins on Monday, there are going to be lines 2 miles long, because they are going to funnel everyone through one entrance, I’m talking about thousands and thousands of workers. This is going to be a clusterfuck like you never seen.

All because Emperor Wolf declared that businesses would have to do this.

I really don’t understand this, it seems like we are starting to see things level out and maybe even see the light at the end of the tunnel and this jackass is doubling down on the stupid.

I’m very glad I work at home now except for about three hours per week where I need to go in, I am going to change my hours to be there at night so I’m not stuck waiting in a hour long line.

That defies logic even more so than the mask bullshit. You can still be a carrier and not have a temperature, can you not?

At this point it's all about control.

Bucks County just announced they are opening all county parks.

I've heard that NY is soon to do that, what if people can't find masks (they are in short supply) must they starve?

I'm on the boat "this is ridiculous"

This entire evolution is obviously ridiculous.

But I don't think it matters if the mask is an N95 or a Tricky Dick mask. Just as long as you have some type of covering.

Me? I'm not wearing jackshit.

It is ridiculous, but my guess is it will devolve into "face coverings" vs actual masks, simply because of availability.

Northeastern Directorate? Didnt a group of states form a similar group in 1861?

If nothing else we're seeing a case study play out in real time as to how much of this BS Americans will take before the lid blows off and they render government and its decrees irrelevant. We're already seeing signs in Michigan, Colorado, and elsewhere that the lid is reaching a blow off point.

Technically, that would be 1812.

Yes, in North Carolina we haven’t Yet been subjected to any orders to wear a mask while going to the grocery store or similar places. But, should that happen, I will wear my Darth Vader mask (circa Halloween 2012).

I'm watching this three phase plan being laid out my Dr. Birx. Phase two should've been the extent of our strategy from the very beginning.

And screw you and your "New Normal." Count me out of that.

And now Dr. Fauci is up there making it sound like getting through these phases is going to take months. "Safety is paramount" he says. Wrong. I subscribe to Mike Rowe's theory of "Safety Third." Let's get out of this European Vacation roundabout like trap now. I've had my fill of Big Ben.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) announced Thursday that the state will begin to re-open on May 1, the same day its stay-at-home order prompted by the Chinese coronavirus pandemic is scheduled to expire.

In his daily press briefing, DeWine affirmed the importance of restarting Ohio’s economy to recreate the jobs lost in recent weeks. He also said the state is still forming guidelines for companies that enable their employees to return safely.

“We must get this right. If we do not do this right, the consequences are horrendous,” said the governor. “The world that we’re going to see is a different world.”

“Barriers, distancing, all the things we have talked so much about. The workplace is going to change,” he added.

However, DeWine acknowledged that it will be difficult to say when mass gatherings will take place again.

eWine’s announcement comes as some Ohioans have taken to protesting the stay-at-home order, demanding that they be able to return to work. At least 855,000 residents have applied for unemployment benefits since the outbreak began.

As of Thursday, there are 8,414 confirmed coronavirus cases in Ohio and 389 deaths, according to data tracked by the Ohio Department of Health.

Thank goodness one of these governors had the stones to go first. All right the rest of you republican governors, follow the leader.

Yeah, I believe that they are going to back out of this deal the same way they went in...falling all over each other trying to do 'the most'.

That's idiot's latest "Executive" order. If in public and not or unable to social distance you must wear a mask in NY State.

Thousands of workers, six feet apart. The lines will probably stretch to Idaho.

AChicago hospital treating severe Covid-19 patients with Gilead Sciences’ antiviral medicine remdesivir in a closely watched clinical trial is seeing rapid recoveries in fever and respiratory symptoms, with nearly all patients discharged in less than a week, STAT has learned.

Remdesivir was one of the first medicines identified as having the potential to impact SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, in lab tests. The entire world has been waiting for results from Gilead’s clinical trials, and positive results would likely lead to fast approvals by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies. If safe and effective, it could become the first approved treatment against the disease.

The University of Chicago Medicine recruited 125 people with Covid-19 into Gilead’s two Phase 3 clinical trials. Of those people, 113 had severe disease. All the patients have been treated with daily infusions of remdesivir.

Of the 113 treated, 2 died, the rest recovered quickly and were discharged!

Markets are shooting up after hours on the news.
