throwaway9878··on Why does the coronavirus spread so easily between people?
Untrue. You will be jailed, harassed, ridiculed, or killed in the Western world for questioning holocaust evidence because doing so would completely undermine the ideological basis of leadership in the West.

That's what trailers are for. Minivans can absolutely handle trailers even if manufacturers claim they can't. Don't go hard on the gas, keep transmission temperatures down, have sufficient braking capacity. You can easily tell when trailer is overloaded if you have any reasoning skills whatsoever. The most important feature for trailers is trailer brakes, an easily retrofitted feature.
throwaway9878··on COVID-19 Supply Chain Update
California looks set to explode into another Italy scenario as local, human-to-human transmission now appears to be taking place in Solano County, where a woman now critically ill with the coronavirus previously exposed dozens of hospital workers in two hospitals. She was not tested for 11 days because the CDC’s testing flow chart excludes the testing of people who contract the virus in America and who didn’t visit China.

The Governor of California stated yesterday that California has only around 200 test kits for the entire state. To this very day, there is virtually zero testing of anyone happening in the entire United States — a fact that many people still are unable to believe (they remain in total denial). The SF Chronicle also confirms this story.

According to a highly disturbing Wall Street Journal story (https://www.wsj.com/articles/whistleblower-says-federal-empl...) federal employees who ran the quarantine sites in California and elsewhere failed to wear proper protective equipment (PPE) and also weren’t trained in how to handle people exposed to the virus. Most disturbingly, as the WSJ subhead says, “Employees weren’t tested for virus before leaving California quarantine sites on commercial flights.”

I am astounded by the frequency of idiots in key decision making positions globally.
