Needs cooperation from turtle to do that.
It can only happen if there’s disagreement on when to adjourn between house and senate. (Meaning the Senate would need to adjourn)
Who here is getting in on this?

Trump tweet January 24:
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
All the time WHO was warning about the virus, Trump was saying everything was great and that the US had cvontained it completely.

How do one define an overreaction? Did China overreacted by locking down an entire city?
Again, the entire idea is so we don’t overload the medical response. The alternative is body piling up in people’s house. At the beginning of the ourbreak in Wuhan, people were walking from hospital to hospital and dying along the way.

It’s fun read. There’s a thread like this in every forum, it always started out “it’s a hoax”, “media overhype”… blah blah, the same parrots parroting the same lines.
This idea you have about isolated place is a fantasy. Not on a ship and not in a prison. Unless you go back in time and do it before people were still treating this as “just another flu”.
yes, wildly available testing is part of the solution to getting back to work, which we still suck weeks later but there is no closing the barn door anymore.
ETA. Also, the test is not 100%, the very nature of it produces more false negative so to be sure, you have to test again in a few days.
unless you have lots of money, 100% tests.
The antibody tests are pretty cheap, you literally could organize testing every single person on the same day. And do the same a week later. (and contact trace new positives).
There might be scaling issues at 100s of millions, and of course enforcement of making people take them and report results… They’re not even doing that on the island though… It’s voluntary and just available, so seems like very limited benefits.
Really? Take a ship out into the middle of the ocean - heck, take a rowboat out to the middle of your local pond - and explain how exactly someone is going to spread their virus to you.
I know. Pirates. They’re always mucking up fantasies.

You must missed this part “Unless you go back in time”
ETA: Also, in prison, how do you do it? I want to know. There will be no guard, no feeding, no supplies? No medical care?
I didnt miss it, I ignored it. Because the risk of initially bringing something (a virus) on board with you was no different back then than it is now.
As long as you (the collective “you”, all the occupants of the boat) set sail without being infected, you simply arent going to catch it while at sea.
As stated many times before, this isnt nerve gas, where you merely walk into a room where it’s present and immediately die.
Of course there’d be none of anything. Because clearly no one is intelligent enough to think to use some rather basic precautions to render the risks negligible.
This video, offered by a doctor, contains tips to help you avoid introducing COVID-19 virus into your home following a visit to the supermarket. I’m already doing a lot of what this chap mentions, but I watched his video just the same. In my case I’m applying his thinking to food items which are being delivered to my home.
Executive Summary
The virus will die a mean and ugly death, beneath the right circumstances, provided you are willing to give it time!
Here is a link to the video:
Again, more talk of avoiding being infected by such items. But zero indication of the likelihood you would otherwise be infected. Sure, your preventing in theory, but you could likely be preventing nothing if it wasnt going to happen anyways.
We’re not talking about a lone person.
We’re talking about a cruise ship full of 3000 people or a prison with 100’s of inmates in close quarters.
Unless you have some data that says NOBODY in those 100’s or 1000’s of people are already infected then you can’t ensure you’re safe.
Of course being totally alone is totally safe… nobodys talking about that.
The whole point is that it’s the external exposire that matters. Not within the isolated population.
And you can’t 100% isolate a prison population

I’m afraid that wiping food sealed in plastic with a sanitizing wipe might poison the contents because while a countertop is a hard, non-porous surface, I’m not sure about a liter of soda.
