The island of St. Maarten and St. Martin is my favorite place in the world. We spend 10 days there every year and will be going back in May. Orient Beach is my utopia. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Breitbart still exists? Haven't visited that site in a while. Lemonade out of lemons. It does present buying opportunities. Might as well make something of it. I don't call taking advantage of it "rooting for it" as some Liberals have done. I think everyone knows that the market goes up and down in cycles; the ones rooting for it wanted it to go down to keep Trump from being re-elected. How about presenting a great candidate and just beating him? |

SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 22 Posts: 4157 | As of TODAY best estimate of number of flu deaths in US this flu season..... 30,000. How many could have been avoided if dodos got immunized? No way to tell. Best estimate of malaria deaths in Africa TODAY>>>>>> 1,100! Are we up to 25 coronavirus deaths in US yet? Not saying ignore it...... but we have lost all perspective. Blah blah blah... you can't place a value on a human life..... But the canceled events do harm to those who wanted to participate. The economic devastation.... and it will be devastating to the hot dog salesman at the arena that now sits empty, and the maid who has no hotel room to clean, and the restaurant owner who makes no money with an empty restaurant, and the casino dealer who is furloughed, and the travel agent who has no flights to book, and the airlines that have a huge nut to pay while their planes fly half empty........ You think high school graduations won't be canceled? Proms? No single thing I mentioned is end of the world, but added up they help make life worth living. |

I believe they are expecting it to spread faster and easier than the flu, and so far it has been deadlier than the flu, as a percentage of total infections. I think that is why the reaction has been so strong by some organizations. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |
