I lurk there when I'm feeling especially masochistic.

Ah ok gotcha.
You're right, I'm not paying close enough attention.There's a small escape hatch thru Arkansas.
The estimate is 75% of Americans are under stay-home orders, which includes those enforced at the city level (instead of statewide). But that remaining 25% of the population is a large amount of states and land area.
Looks like 25% are bucking the trend.Wait a minute...computer: show me all the states with a Republican trifecta!
My wife's lab has really ramped up the testing , although I'd wish they would concentrate on healthcare workers a bit more...Missouri is doing relatively good.
Cases in Missouri: 1031
Total Deaths: 13
Patients tested in Missouri (by all labs): approximately 14,107 -
They attributed the death number to having adequate ventilators and medical supplies. Although most of these cases are in STL area and Springfield. STL makes sense since it shares a border with IL.
AOC's "evolution" is annoying but I can't blame her, since Bernie's theory didn't work. She's just less combative than him in general, I think and if she has eyes on the presidency one day then she knows his method didn't pan out.
Moderation, conciliation, etc. are not virtues, but they can be used strategically. Unfortunately, until the Boomers are gone and the Democratic Party voter base stops primarily considering itself moderate, we're stuck pushing the Overton window from the margins.
She'll drop little hints like when she tweeted a Kropotkin quote to try to keep the left happy enough, anyway, and I continue to hope for the day when we can look back and declare people like Bernie and AOC as too liberal.
The game the GOP plays is to veil its extremism in coded language to great effect. The Left needs to learn this as well, particularly since their end-goal issues are actually popular and all they need to dog-whistle is the fact that they're socialist.
Ooh, there's a small table next to the podium for the press conference.
...Dammit, CNN says it looks like a test kit. I was thinking he was going to sign some dramatic (and potentially legit helpful) executive order.

Rural-state governors tell Trump they need tests and medical supplies, too
The epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S. is in New York and other urban areas, and they're getting the bulk of the equipment.www.cbsnews.comSeveral rural-state governors alerted President Trump on Monday that they are struggling to obtain urgently needed medical supplies and testing equipment, warning that despite the worsening coronavirus situation in New York and other urban areas, more sparsely populated parts of the country need help, too. In response to requests for more testing kits, Mr. Trump said, "I haven't heard about testing in weeks," according to an audio recording of the call between the president and governors obtained by CBS News. During the call, which lasted a little over an hour, Democratic and Republican governors detailed how they are struggling to obtain the protective equipment doctors and nurses will need to treat the sick and the test kits needed to determine whether sick residents are suffering from COVID-19.
I'm excited for this thing, but i'm not counting tests before they're delivered (and proven to work)
400 ventilators going to Michigan says @realDonaldTrump among the state's on his list. Notable because of recent tensions with @GovWhitmer

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuck is going on
"Boy do you sell those pillows," Trump says in the Rose Garden of Mike Lindell, introducing the CEO of MyPillow and calling him a "friend." Then invites him to the microphone to speak about how he's helping the response.
Right? That's why the infamous tweet was so annoying. Bernie CAN and HAS worked with the democratic establishment. He has voted to get less than perfect things through because they were better than nothing.The frustrating thing about Bernie is that he IS a team player in Congress and has no problem working with the so-called Establishment, but he still feels obligated to shit on it publicly.

"I have some friends that are unbelievably sick," Trump says. "In one case he's unconscious. In a coma. And you say, how did that happen." This is the third time Trump has spoken of this friend, who has not been publicly identified.
Trump says "probably" some more ventilators will go to Michigan, and there'll be more to New York; "even Alabama flared up all of a sudden," he says, so they'll get some.
"A month ago nobody ever heard of this," Trump says. It wasn't clear this time if he meant specifically the deployment of hospital ships for this crisis, or, as usual, the crisis in general. The latter remains false.

Trump on Louisiana's coronavirus situation: "It was just staying at nothing, and then all of a sudden I look one day and I see a lot, and a lot, and a lot, and then it explodes."
"It's pretty unlikely, I would think at this time," says Pres Trump, asked if he would impose a national stay-at-home order. He says he's leaving it up to the Governors to decide in each state. Says 70-day order in Virginia doesnt bother him. "People should be staying at home."
Trump says he was told it is not possible that, without something shady "going on," a New York hospital can go from needing 10,000 masks to 300,000 masks.
Trump continues to not provide evidence for his innuendo-heavy claims that New York is only requesting so many masks because of some major mask-theft-or-something operation. He calls for a "wonderful investigative reporter" to figure out what's going on.
