Saliva is the first defense. It contains anti-virals. Then there are
mucosa and stomach acid. Bodies have a lot of defenses.

We do every day. You can take drugs or radiation to shut down your

Yes, because as we all know, the immune system consists of nothing but

That's nuts. Here they've reserved the first hour at a lot of places for 60+ "seniors" and at-risk people. When I went to Loblaws at 7AM there were a few people waiting, maybe 30 seconds delay.

Lots of produce, pasta and TP/paper towel section sparse but some, nasty canned goods like chili ravaged.

We have TP and Clorox wipes and gloves and flour and pasta now. Lots
of fresh produce. Lots of fresh donuts and bagels, but now you have to
ask, and they put them in a bag for you.

Most people wear masks and are paranoid about distance. But everyone
is being hyper-nice. There's not many cars on the street but everybody
is waving everyone else to go ahead, which slows things down.

The garlic selection is pitiful, a few dried-out runts. They are
probably hoarding them for the The Gilroy Garlic Festival, which has
been postponed until late July.

No Rice-a-Roni! In San Francisco!

I consider possibilities, given a lot of noisy data. Some people
reject the possibilities they don't like.

Really, a lot of people enjoy disasters and hope they will get worse.
Anything less than a catastrophic projection offends them. And a lot
of people want crisies to exploit.

I take business away from people who don't allow themselves to
consider all the options.

That's why socialism scares me. And pointless bailouts. And
massive borrowing.

They all pave a short road to empty shelves and bad places.

When did the USA become socialist?

AFAIK the empty shelves and pointless bailouts
occurred in the capitalist USA.

Ergo it must be capitalism that's at fault.

Faulty logic.

Of course it is faulty!

That's because it uses the same "logic" that you do.

The U.S. government redistributing trillion of fictitious
goods, has zero to do with free people voluntarily exchanging
goods and services on terms they both agree. (Capitalism)

In fact, they're antithetical.

There's nothing illogical about that statement, it's factual.

You assumed your conclusion, that was the problem. Circular
reasoning.

If a government acts in a particular way then it is whatever it
is, not what one presumed it to be.

People will take all that free money and use it in the free market to
voluntarily exchange things. The result will be an increase in the
price of those things. There will be some redistribution, which will
partly compensate poor people for the price increases.

The huge drop in productivity, from people not working, will of course
also increase prices.

Yep. There will be fewer goods produced, and more people
with fistfuls of dollars bidding on them.

Many people, mostly unskilled labor that can't work from home, won't
get paid. Their government payments will typically be smaller than
their normal income; some won't get any. Most have little savings.
They need money for food and rent. They will really be hurt by
shortages and price increases.

Restaurant workers, cleaning people, construction, child-care,
drivers, things like that.

These shutdowns may (will) wind up doing a great deal of net harm.

He's one of the smartest guys on the planet. Fun, too. But he's
mean to MOSFETs.

James Arthur and John Larkin clearly live on a different planet from the rest of us.
