Mostly, it's people like you saying that that any criticism of the Dear Leader is totally out of bounds, that the whole crisis is the fault of democrats for wasting time on impeachment, etc etc etc.

There's tons of such posts here. Read them.

Not just the travel ban. The implication was the clamp down on freedom of movement gave EU leaders cover to do the same.

You claim one mild applause line a couple days ago by Old Salt about one decision by Trump (which seems, frankly, logical) and that somehow translates into Republican lemmings who worship Trump. Do I have that correct?

What I read today here at Fanlax, not simply a couple of days ago, are libs who seemingly can't draw one breath without slaying Trump's decisions, regardless the issue, regardless the decision. I'm no Trumper, and I see a ton in him I truly dislike, but I also think the guy is capable every so often of a decent decision. I'd grant you one thing: this virus issue is an issue he is wholly uncomfortable leading the charge on. This time requires genuine empathy, surrounding oneself with the best and brightest, communicating the issues directly but not hysterically to the American people, not just R's or D's. This crisis is not his strong suit by a mile.

Just being real here, I think you guys have gone nuts in your hatred of the guy.

Probably best to get that perspective before immediately assuming you know what the discussion has been.

Of course, if you think that it's ridiculous that anyone might have been praising Trump's performance in this mess, many of us would quite agree.

Even so, it's good to see at least some directional change.
Even those who detest him (a I certainly do) have managed to say so.

I actually think about this a lot. In some ways, eating meat is indefensible, but I do it...the hypocrite I am.

What would really help is if China shut down all those wet markets. Truly barbaric conditions.

I went to China a few years ago and stayed at 5-star hotels all the way. As my only nutritional intake, I ate bread and drank beer for the entire 8 days. Everything on any menu seemed repulsive. And these were nice spots we ventured to, Beijing and Shanghai.

Close the wet markets. They kill exotic animals that are shaking in their cages before slaughter, and the blood, puss, and waste drips from one cage down on to the next.

Too curious not to ask. What were the the items you found repulsive? Did it include eating rice?

It is becoming interesting to look at individual states as the numbers grow and statistics get better. I did this last night late, so numbers are a little out of date, but probably still indicative. Everyone knows Washington State and New York State have the worst situation. They both have measured per capita infection rates in the 12-13 per 100,000 range. Louisiana seems to be the next big hot spot, with 5.5 infections per 100,000. DC at 4.4 per 100,000, followed by Maine, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont all hanging out at 3.0 to 3.3 per 100,000 (all in New England). Colorado and New Jersey in the same range. New Hampshire and Connecticut are siting at about 2,0 infections per 100,000. New England looks like it has a very highly dispersed but not overly large ( yet) infection. The national average is 2.35 infections per 100,000. Most states are in the 0.5 - 2.0 range.

These number will go up every day, and by more every day than the day before until we get it under control. The prediction is not everyone will go up at the same rate.

An interesting result of this is that California is under the national average because it is so large. Texas the same. This really should be tracked by county, but that is way too much work for me. Each state DoH will likely get around to this if they haven't already.

No idea how many others have children in grade or middle school, but since our kids have been out this week and likely through year end which is Memorial day down here in GA I have been wondering about how they matriculate, or if they do, for this year. New story contemplating this.

Schools Closed for Coronavirus, Online Work Won’t Count
Because administrators can’t guarantee all students will have access, some schools call online work ‘enrichment,’ not part of curriculum

By Tawnell D. Hobbs
March 19, 2020 2:37 pm ET

For all the talk of online learning during shutdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic, many U.S. public school students will find that the work they do while at home is actually optional. It won’t be graded and it won’t count.

Some public schools are calling online work “enrichment,” not part of the curriculum, because they can’t guarantee that all students will have access to it. Students without the internet or home computers can’t do it, and special-needs students may require accommodations to complete it.

As a result, millions of schoolchildren risk missing weeks of school. Most states have closed schools, leaving more than 43 million children, in grades K-12, out of school, and some schools won’t reopen this school year.

“It’s an equity issue. If you can’t guarantee all your students have online access, nothing’s graded,” said Tim Robinson, a spokesman in Seattle Public Schools in Washington, which closed schools and plans to broadcast not-for-grade educational activities online and by TV. “Our goal is to keep the students from going into a summer slide.”

The U.S. Department of Education recently sent out information to remind educators that schools moving to online learning must comply with civil rights laws, including making sure such tools are available to students with disabilities. Some teacher unions have decried school districts rolling out online plans not accessible to all.

Schools are expected to advance students to the next grade, come fall, even with all the months of missed coursework, though many administrators say they haven’t addressed it yet. Teachers already dread what they call “the summer slide,” or information children lose over summer vacation, and schools haven’t yet said how curricula in the fall may need to be adjusted to make up missed work.

In Washington state, where schools are closed statewide until at least April 24, the Education Department has warned against using online learning that isn’t equitable. At least one district in Bothell, Wash., halted the online model it had rolled out to students to address equity issues. Now, the Northshore School District superintendent said, in a letter to families this week, the district has launched a resource page online for families to keep students moving forward. This week, students are being encouraged to create projects that could be useful in relation to the current health situation, such as building a hand-sanitizer dispenser. A petition to restore online learning had over 11,000 signatures on Thursday.

Chicago Public Schools posted on Twitter Tuesday that work online or sent home during its shutdown won’t be graded, sparking criticism from some parents.

“Gee thanks, you have taken away any incentive for my children to do any school work while they are home,” one response said in part.

On Wednesday, citing updated state guidance, Chicago school officials changed course and said that teachers can grade work as long as it increases academic standing and doesn’t negatively impact a student’s grades. And students who opt not to do the work can’t be penalized. The Illinois State Board of Education says the rule addresses students with support and technology issues and children with mental and physical health challenges during the statewide school shutdown, which is now scheduled through March 30.

How is remote online learning being rolled out in your school district? What are its challenges and/or successes? Join the conversation below.

The Chicago Teachers Union criticized the policy, saying it could exacerbate inequities as students with internet and digital devices work online and improve grades, while those without cannot.

“If you can’t get it for everybody, is it fair for anybody?” said Chris Geovanis, a union spokeswoman.

Most schools plan to stay closed at least through the end of March or early April, but some have already extended reopening dates or are closed indefinitely. State leaders in Ohio, Texas and California have floated the possibility of schools in their states being closed all school year.

Some parents have taken to creating their own lesson plans.

Jessica McHale, a photographer in Massachusetts, created a daily schedule for her three children that has been shared at least 300,000 times online. It starts with waking up before 9 a.m., eating breakfast, getting dressed and a morning walk with the dog or yoga if it is raining. She includes set times for academics, creative time, chores, lunch, quiet time, fresh air outside, dinner and TV time. The day wraps up with bedtime at 8 p.m., or 9 p.m. for children who followed the daily schedule and didn’t fight.

“I threw it together in a panic,” Ms. McHale said. “It’s been such a confusing time for parents, and the children are looking to us.”

No, you do not. I mentioned that one post AS AN EXAMPLE. I'm not going to cite every single one.

As for the Europe travel ban being "frankly, logical", please go back and read my multi-point post on why it's actually a total clusertf***, and why Trump is personally responsible for it being a total clusertf***.

And yes, if you only offer praise for specific Trump decisions, and never criticism (as you and old salt and many others here do), I take that as solid evidence that you are Republican lemmings who worship Trump.

tRUMP on “Corona”

Our very serious genius president, in his own words:

”January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
March 6: Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
March 7: “We’ll hold tremendous rallies...I’m not concerned at all.”
March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on coronavirus.”
March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
March 10: "Our CoronaVirus Team has been doing a great job. Even Democrat governors have been VERY complimentary!"
March 11: "I am fully prepared to use the full power of the Federal Government to deal with our current challenge of the CoronaVirus!"
March 12: "108 countries are dealing with the CoronaVirus problem, some of which we are helping!"
March 13: "To this point, and because we have had a very strong border policy, we have had 40 deaths related to CoronaVirus. If we had weak or open borders, that number would be many times higher!"
March 13: "Today I am declaring a national emergency. Two very big words."
March 13. "No, I don't take responsibility at all. Because we were given a set of circumstances, given rules, regulations, and specifications from a different time. It wasn't meant for this kind of an event, with the kind of numbers that we are talking about."

Peter, the problem is, though Trump has shown an ability to take this matter very very seriously after a very very dangerous and counterproductive spate of practically dismissing the possibility of the of the virus becoming a problem, it is very hard to ignore the self consumed narcissism with which he approaches this and every other aspect of his governance. I applaud his innate ability to marshal a full fledged and likely to be effective assault (both health and economic) on the problem once he came to the realization that dismissing it was going to do in the entire country, but in his own evaluation of his response to the crisis as having been nothing short of a ten, and lying about his having been aware of the possible dire consequences of the virus for the country despite his efforts to dismiss it doesn't give many of us any assurance whatsoever that he won't revert to his mind numbing narcissism as soon as this crisis is past if not sooner. If he somehow manages to overcome his tendency to act thus, he might very well end up being the hero to us all that he already thinks he should be.

Just look at the sequence of when things happened.

You think it doesn't make it easier for EU leaders to impose politically difficult restrictions if the US has done it too ?
Before the EU closed it's borders, who besides Italy took actions as soon or as restrictive as the US did ?
You want apologia -- all we heard then was that such US restrictions were not necessary or counterproductive.

DW was making a big deal about Merkel addressing the German people. The first time she's made such a speech in 15 yrs in office, except for her annual New Years Day speech.
