    Definitely. The carriers would be a hell of a lot easier to get around on a two lane road than those box trucks.

    The problem is that the USPS carries a lot of packages. May need a separate carrier for those.

    @mark YEAH, so the federal government should pull them out of their ass... Tada, magic ass ventilators... Don’t hand me that bull. There’s been no one on this forum more against wasteful government spending and taxation than you. And having 30K ventilators in the national stockpile would have seemed wasteful. Hell, it still does

    There's a lot of TADA! wishful hindsight among many people who know how government works, and are projecting some alternate reality about how fast government can move within our federal system.

    Shucks, Hitler and Stalin bitched about people in their government not moving or producing fast enough...And they executed people to help speed things along...

    @jon-nyc said in "This (virus) is not something the citizens of the US need to be worried about.":

    What’s interesting is that the current right wing effort to discredit Fauci, which no doubt is the source of these clips, is ultimately motivated by a concern that he’s championing too strong a reaction.

    The effort aligns his position more closely to Mr Trump’s

    Therefore it is credit, not discredit

    Absolutely. We've seen 1 day dips before.
