March 14: You don’t need hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Lysol. You need common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns!

April 2: Discovers that COVID-19 doesn't care about your "common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns!"

You go, girl! All that's left is for your family and friends to set up a GoFundMe to pay for the funeral because, you know, personal responsibility.

Um, Kevin, plenty of people have died of diseases they initially denied. Smokers regularly deny the correlation between smoking and lung cancer and argue that "correlation is not cause." It's not, but that strong a correlation is relevant.

The smug, self-righteous joy this piece is expressing about her death is vicious, and uncalled for. This death is not a tragedy to them, it's an "I told you so" moment.

Someone seems to believe that the First Amendment has a "not applicable in the case of a national emergency" clause.

Alternative: now do CNN, biatches!

No, not really sensible. But the author soon picks up on some of the problems. Another problem in addition to the obvious ones, would they gain squatter's rights? unless that's spelled out as a "no", I'll say the answer is "yes".

Or ambiguous enough to make lawyers salivate.

Instead, Mayor London Breed and the Human Services Agency came up with the plan to route over 3,000 people currently living in shelters and navigation centers into hotels. The city is planning to put thousands of physically and psychologically sick people into private hotel rooms, in some of the most luxurious hotels in San Francisco—the InterContinental, Mark Hopkins, and The Palace. Occupants would receive three meals per day, hygiene products, and access to nurses.

At first glance, the plan appears sensible.

I thought that snitches get stiches?

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said this week that “snitches” in his city will get “rewards” if they tattle on neighbors who could be violating the stay-at-home order put in place to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

If they are forcibly quarantined and cannot leave the rooms they are assigned to how is this not a jail?

On the squatter's rights, I don't know San Fran law but I doubt it would be more flexible for property owners than Texas law. Under Texas law there are a lot of details that need to be answered. Who is paying for those rooms? The person in them? The city? Are they unpaid and taken by force? Donated by the owner?

Six months living on a property with the knowledge of the owner and not paying rent or otherwise having a formal contract means the defacto rent is $0 in Texas. The person does not get property rights. I.e. no title, they cannot sell the property, etc. But they cannot be evicted. After all they are current on their rent of $0.

The race hustlers wonder why so many minority folks are getting Wu Flu. Well, here's one possible answer:

You NYC COVID-19 moment of the day.

In other news about People Who Have Figured Out This Whole Coronavirus Thing, Roseanne declares it's just a ploy to kill off baby boomers so "they" can take their money:

"You know what it is, Norm? I think they're just trying to get rid of all my generation," Barr's ramble begins. "The boomer ladies that, you know, that inherited their, you know, are widows. They inherited the money so they got to go wherever the money is and figure out a way to get it from people." It is unclear who "they" are in the ramble.

In my neighborhood, there’s a guy wandering around stealing bikes. People even have him on video. The Knoxville Police say that they aren’t responding to theft reports because of the pandemic. A neighbor asks: “Are they responding to thieves being shot?”

"At first glance, the plan appears sensible."

Who the hell is glancing?
Hotels aren't built to confine anyone, and their hygiene depends in part on the cooperation of the occupants. In my experience, few who PAY for a decent hotel room wander the halls looking for drugs, either.

It's an outstanding plan to devalue some of the best properties in the city in the name of that big lie that government cares about the little person.

It will be a seizure of private assets by government.

Cruise ship vs Venezuelan warship redux. Buried in this thread is the following passage. If I should ever be insane enough to go for a cruise in the future, this is the boat I want be on.

So if next time you go on a cruise there's a silhouette of a patrol vessel marking a successful 'kill' on the bow, now you know why...

The origin of the virus is still undetermined, and the World Health Organization has named the novel coronavirus “COVID-19”.

The World Health Organisation also appointed Zimbabwean murderer Robert Mugabe as its Goodwill Ambassador and declared on March 2 that the “stigma” of the coronavirus “is more dangerous than the virus itself”.

The World Health Organisation does a lot of stupid stuff.

Oh, brag about the fancy hotels you stay in.

Many of the hotels I have staid in probably are not that great for quarantine. Fairly free airflow.

I am reminded of a road trip I went on with a friend after college. We ended up getting this cheap motel. As my friend was walking down the hall a lady was hanging out in sittng on a boombox asked him if there was an anything she could do for him. Oh, the sliding door in our room had been replaced with plywood.

In a nice hotel you don't wander the halls disturbing other guests looking for drugs. You ask the bellboy for his preferred supplier like a civilized person . . .
