    The Throbber does not disagree.

    This little forced holiday is disruptive no matter how you cut it. Folks let go, they find new things, pipelines have been destroyed, schedules out of whack, supply chain fucked in some cases.

    There will never be 'normalcy' as we used that term 6 weeks ago. That said, Jake Browning does still suck and I expect new innovations, technologies and thought processes as a result of this debacle. Which is where USA! USA! USA! works best.

    In Oregon. there's no need to go past April 15th.

    Hospitalizations with new cases are dropping like a rock. As of April 4th, there were a whole 6 people hospitalized in OHSU's network with COvid.

    The Oregon Health Authority has now quit reporting hospitalizations due to "technical difficulties". As more people that were seeing these numbers, are starting an outcry to open shit back up.

    It's political, it will be criminal and all of these people suppressing and lying about numbers will be impaled on a stick. In fact President Trump should announce a task force to investigate this. Not just here in Oregon but all over the country. If they're lying and withholding info here. they are doing it everywhere.

    THIS! FUCKING THIS THIS THIS!!!

    The hospitals are damned near empty. The whole Century Link field hospital...what a bunch of bullshit.

    This scene is being repeated in dozens of cities across the country.

    I don’t know who “we” is.

    I won’t be.

    The states have been given public cover by the stimulus to continue to be locked down for awhile.

    Trump was completely right to not issue nationwide stay at home. Had he done so, the governors would have been off the hook for actual governing. It will force governors to assess their own local situation and put them on the hook for the next step or face the wrath of their own citizens. Inslee can think that he’s won the public opinion by flattening the curve, but he’ll lose all of that if he waits too long to reopen.

    In other words, Federalism.

    I call it doing the right thing.

    A CEO doesn't fly into every subsidiary bi-weekly and do the payroll in 50 different locations and 50 different tax jurisdictions. He has people who are charged with that task. Same here.

    Do the damned job, governors.
