That could be why there are so many testosterone commercials on TV now.
There are also fewer women with beards and whiskers nowadays.
The @nytimes story is a Fake, just like the “paper” itself. I was criticized for moving too fast when I issued the China Ban, long before most others wanted to do so. @SecAzar told me nothing until later, and @PeterNavarroUSA memo was same as Ban (see his statements). Fake News!

I’m trying to figure out why the 1% at risk of dying from CV is impacting the 99% so dramatically.
If you’re in that 1% at risk category, stay the heck away from everyone else. Why should the 99% get their lives turned upside down for the 1%?
The 1% are the selfish ones. Stay at home and die of whatever other underlying medical conditions you have. Die with some dignity and respect.
Don’t go away mad. Just go away.
Before daybreak these next several mornings – April 14, 15 and 16, 2020 – watch for the moon to sweep by three morning planets: Mars, Saturn and Jupiter. You’ll be looking along the ecliptic, the annual path the sun – and the approximate monthly path of the moon – in front of the constellations of the zodiac. Look southeast to south from the Northern Hemisphere. Look pretty much east from the Southern Hemisphere. For all of us around the globe, the moon is waning now, appearing closer to the sunrise each morning.
And, for all of us, on the morning of April 14, the moon’s illuminated side will be pointing right at this compact line-up of planets. Then on the mornings of April 15 and 16, you’ll see the moon in the planets’ midst.

Imagine it's September. Things are back to normal. We can meet face to face. Travel is possible. Toilet roll is easy to buy. But things have changed. COVID-19 has forever changed the experience of being a customer, employees, citizen, human. Expect to see behavior change at scale for some time to come.
Dependence on experts and strong government recommendation—plus executive powers to start resolving the pandemic backed by citizen compliance—lends real weight to central authority, which in many markets has been eroded recently in popular culture. If governments get their handling of the crisis broadly right, expect top-down control to be back in fashion; if not, the reverse.
A reinvention of authority is likely after the effect of travel limitations, self-isolation and lockdown officially mandated by many governments. Greater acceptance for the role of government and companies in society, and the importance of collective behavior, may occur.

cranky, re waiting for DJT to hit 7,77m twitter followers;
1) The world population is going to hit 7, 777, 777,777 within 24 hours - it's currently at 7, 777, 560,000! Is DJT followers count important in combination with world population? I.e. one in a thousand follow DJT?
2) I wonder if the Q posts/POTUS tweets total of 7/49 the other day links to this count?
3) Is there some marker that eugenecists fail if they don't cull population before 7,777,777,777?

On Saturday, day before Easter, a judge in Kentucky granted a temporary restraining order to a Christian Church to protect the pastor and members of the church from the Mayor and police force.
The church was being threatened with prosecution if they gathered for a drive in Easter service.
I highly recommend everyone read the judge's ruling on this case, because clearly there are some here that misunderstand our 1st amendment and how a national emergency may (or may not) affect our constitutional rights.
link is to a Washington Post article about the matter. Here
In the article is a link to the judge's ruling and full explanation. (PDF)
Perhaps we can put this debate to rest.
Case 3:20-cv-00264-JRW Document 6 Filed 04/11/20 Page 3 of 20 PageID #: 64
MEMORANDUM OPINION On Holy Thursday, an American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter. That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion. But two days ago, citing the need for social distancing during the current pandemic, Louisville’s Mayor Greg Fischer ordered Christians not to attend Sunday services, even if they remained in their cars to worship – and even though it’s Easter. The Mayor’s decision is stunning. And it is, “beyond all reason,” unconstitutional. ***
