Yes, that is a known issue. Fortunately, these Chinese goods don't all come from the same factory. Plus, they'll be checked here prior to distribution. But yeah, it's inconvenient to say the least that there is doubt as to the quality.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-30-2020).]

OK, we've been over this a few times before, but please repeat after me:

My body has absorbed so much soap, disinfectant, and bleach in the last 2 weeks that when I pee, it cleans the toilet.

My wife and I were walking through the grocery store yesterday and we had a bit of fun pointing out all the items that are in great supply on the shelves.
We were commenting about all the crap that people WOULDN'T buy even in a panic.
Then THIS popped up in the news:
Nobody is hoarding fake meat.

Those little imaginary circles of isolation people tend to draw around themselves..
We did the same during the years just prior to 911.
We did the same in the years prior to Pearl Harbor.
We have met the enemy and it is us...but we gonna/gotta find someone else to blame.......
Look at what La's governor said in answering why he didn't cancel New Orleans Mardi Gras..."Because no one from the federal govt told us we had to".
(Mardi Gras ended Feb 16)
Houston Tx was no better. Didn't cancel the Houston Rodeo with it's 2 million visitors history until mid March when nearly a million people had already been to it, and I was truly surprised to learn it was cancelled.. |

It would have been easier for the state and city authorities in Louisiana and Texas to cancel those traditional, high profile and "big ticket" public events like the Mardi Gras and the Houston Rodeo if there had been public messaging from POTUS that was indicative of the magnitude of the virus-related risks, instead of statements from the White House that said (in so many words) "no worries, it's all under control."
I'm talking about the President's public messaging earlier in the year.
If the President had been more prescient in his public remarks during January, February and early in March, about how the pandemic was likely to play out here in the United States, he would have provided the "cover"--"political cover," as it's often worded--that would have made it easier for governors and mayors all across the country (including Louisiana and Texas) to authorize the cancellations of these kinds of events.
When the final report from the (expected) Cornovirus Commission is published, I hope it will take us into what was being briefed to the President before the end of 2019 and all during January, February and the first weeks of March of this year, as if we ourselves had been present during those briefings.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 03-30-2020).]

It would have been equally as easy for them to close the events regardless of what the feds say or said. It's not like a state or city has to get permission from Uncle Sam to close down a friggin rodeo...not in my state anyway.
I suppose tho, if someone just has to point fingers and find someone else, anyone else, everyone else to blame all this on, then Trump's the favorite target but you and the media conveniently neglect to realize Houston's mayor and most of the city council are democrats.
Mar 12, 2020 - Mayor Sylvester Turner on Wednesday ordered the shutdown of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo due to concerns about coronavirus ....
"Sylvester Turner
Mayor of Houston

Description
Sylvester Turner is an American attorney and politician and is the 62nd mayor of Houston, Texas. A member of the Democratic Party, Turner was a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1989 until 2016. He attended the University of Houston and Harvard Law School."
Austin cancelled SXSW on Mar 6 (Friday) which was basically at the last minute, (due to open Mar13) but they allowed a lot of the smaller venues of that event to go ahead and be held.
| quote | "The City of Austin has cancelled the March dates for SXSW and SXSW EDU. SXSW will faithfully follow the City’s directions.
We are devastated to share this news with you. “The show must go on” is in our DNA, and this is the first time in 34 years that the March event will not take place. We are now working through the ramifications of this unprecedented situation.
As recently as Wednesday (Mar 4) , Austin Public Health (Stephanie Y Hayden, a former social worker), appointed by City Manager Spencer Cronk stated that “there’s no evidence that closing SXSW or any other gatherings will make the community safer.” However, this situation evolved rapidly, and we honor and respect the City of Austin’s decision. We are committed to do our part to help protect our staff, attendees, and fellow Austinites. |

March 20
I think technically, it was 9 days, but certainly not weeks. The liberal blame game continues to fall on it's own sword.
