Why only dead people's blankets? Small pox doesn't usually kill those of European descent so you can have normal small pox patients come by the warehouse and rub blankets on them before shipping the blankets out.

That sounds even less likely to me.

This is the first time I feel empathy for a large company. It is a weird feeling, I don't know what to do with it.

Aw crap, just looked at coronamap.org again and my country (NL) has started increasing again. It looked like we were over the peak for a while, but I guess not.

It feels as if we’re all at least one month away from any peak. Sigh.

I wish I didn't believe that ICE's solution will be to shoot everyone in their concentration camps and dump them into mass graves.

Wonder if the children in the border cages will be tested or shot . If they are to be shot , millions of bullets will be required .

ICE is still making raids using valuable PPE that should be going to doctors and nurses on the COVID frontlines! If nothing else outrages you, that should.

ICE will ignore this as it's ignored everything else. Republicans no longer have to even pretend to obey the laws.

You act like ICE would allow their hostages detainees access to medical care if they all came down with COVID-19.

Somehow, I think it'd be more likely they'd lock it down and leave them all to suffer.

Long sentences (tough on crime!) may have something to do with it. If you give a decades long sentence to a shoplifter on their third conviction, but you do nothing to give an ex-con other options to support themselves, then you will have lots of old people in jail.
