Guess where we got that word from (?)

I got it out from under an old French gooseberry bush,

I have an old gooseberry bush. Great berry. terrible thing to prune. The damn thing is decked out with ten penny razorblades.

Get a 40V (or more...) battery powered hedge trimmer; I use mine to clear brush and fence row areas full of briars and small black locust sprouting trees.

Trump's travel ban likely accelerated the spread of the coronavirus in the US, according to Bill Gates
https://www.businessinsider.com/bill-ga ... -us-2020-9

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said the travel ban implemented by President Trump earlier this year may have accelerated the spread of the coronavirus in the US.

Speaking to Fox News Sunday in an interview that will be aired on Sunday, Gates said that the ban made thousands of people rush back into the country, but a lack of safety measures upon their return caused the virus to continue spreading.

"We created this rush, and we didn't have the ability to test or quarantine those people," Gates told "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace.


But as I recall according to some of our MTJ experts on the subject he didn't implement the travel ban soon enough.

Doesn't really matter at this point because the alternate left blames Trump for every miserable thing that has happened in their lives

Both are true. Ban should have been effect in Feb and all that came home shoul dhave been quarantined; might not have had the ability to test them (not sure I believe that since those would have been low numbers...) but quarantining would have been possible.

All any of it would have taken would have been decisive leadership.

Yep, the Dems are pulling out all the stops in their crusade to bury Trump. Just the world we live in.

In part, maybe. The Pubes spent 8 years of trying the bury Obama. What do you think that bought?

It's also the one that we chose to create.

On second thought since you said Trump gave you the fungus. Maybe it started higher up and migrated down

Forgive me for asking this again, but I need encouraged by something of an update:

I've seen the "approved" list of states, on the News, that are accepting residents from other states to travel thru and to certain other states.

Are we certain that if I travel from NJ along Rt80W, to Delaware Watergap , up to 380N , to 81, switching to Rt11 at Clarks Summit, then traveling Rt11 all the way into Cortland, NY, that I won't get stopped and held somewhere for umpteen days?
