Shut it all down. Bad news = not a lot of testing in Oregon so far. Good news = is that assuming that those tested are either sick or have a direct contact with someone sick, not a lot of positives. Hopefully, the tests are accurate and don’t have a high false negatives. Dead are uniformly old with pre-existing conditions. The 63 year old was I suspect pretty messed up if they didn’t hospitalize him. Terminal cancer or something similar. Definitely not NYC.

My tinfoil is sparking hard right now. These steps have nothing to do with social distancing. They want everyone confined to the City.
There's not a chance in hell rancher in Ten Sleep, WY or a sodbuster in Washtucna is going to comply and head to Casper or Spokane.
And the trains ARE running on time. But I’m not sure that I like what’s on them.

Again. The video is from last June.
But still!!!!’
The “Free World” media only reports new cases and deaths. They never report the the 1000s each day that have passed the 14 day stage and have recovered.
Hell even the Chinese media does that.
Nope. We’re being groomed for a new normal that won’t be what it was before. It’s way more than trying to make the Orange Man look bad. It’s way bigger than that I fear.
I don't fear a 'new normal' per se - what I fear is the blow back when people realize the new normal isn't the old normal. Maybe the coastal dwellers will bow to that state....but that shit don't fly between the Cascades and the Appalachians for the most part.
After that, there better be a clear timeframe for return to normal or shit is gonna get real, real fast.
I just feel that it’s a slow burn of shutting our country down. I understand why the beach communities are shut down. It was an absolute shit show at Oregon’s this last weekend. And Oregonians deserve 0-12 after that. However I don’t agree with shutting down huge National Forests where there’s nothing out there. And I don’t understand why Coastal boat launches are shut down.

There, they may be subject to fire hose and German shepherds.
