even the article you linked has statements that contradict the quote you posted

Preach
From AL yesterday: Emergency Management Agency Director Christina Thornton, “Cases have grown significantly over the last week or two. Alabama and Montgomery probably hit a peak this last weekend. I look daily at the bed counts, ICU beds, negative pressure rooms and ventilators. Right now, there is a large…

First of all, this has been happening. I’m not sure if its happened or happening in Alabama (my guess is they probably worked on something for the last two months...), but if you’re basing your reaction on 1st Gear or the Giz article alone you’re probably doing yourself a disservice (double for the reply commenters).…

1st: Couldn’t help but notice that the Giz report was super light on specifics. No mention of ICU beds in numbers, currently used ICU beds, # of beds available, expectation for future beds needed (save for the governors statement that their estimation is the system won’t be overburdened). Just comments of concern…

I’m skeptical they have a real firm idea what October will look like in May, which the interim director alludes to. I’m guessing this (the situation, the decision making, etc) will all change quite a bit by the time we get there.

Indeed, there are probably fewer pickup buyers in Brooklyn and Presidio Heights, but people in Wyoming and Alabama are not experiencing the same thing as New Yorkers.
New Orleans seems to be by far the hardest hit southern city, and it had Mardi Gras (nor a bastion of “’Murica” as far as I can tell). Outside of…

A lot of states are reporting more testing capacity than weekly testing numbers.

Porsche hot hatch, yes please

I like them. The sales numbers will probably suggest others do too.
I only found the North American numbers for the 997.2 Turbo S, but they sold 1,200 of those.

I have a friend that works at a dealership and they were already talking two weeks ago about the eventual lack of inventory they’d face.  They’re fine right now, but they don’t expect to be fine in the near future when the effects of the shutdown start to trickle through to their supply.

LOL I love it.
All these “Can’t you take a joke?” and also “eat shit and get over it” comments coming out of the same crowd. All while they whine about the wealthy devouring the pour while paying NOTHING! Is the flood of seething contempt being relayed clearly enough? They took our food off the tables and then told…

I’m glad not to have this where I live.  If there were an extra $15 tax on my lunch with friends downtown I wouldn’t be more likely to use the bus, I’d be more likely to move my lunch plans.

Worse, we will increase the tax on the safest most responsible form of transit in a time of increased need.

Effin A.  Living the dream.

Neutral: None

A good pitch, I’d be in.
I think Indycar would be very enticing for Vettel, biggest being the trifecta of track types. Importantly ovals, and most importantly Indy, who’s speed and nature I think most top driver’s from outside the sport find very intriguing and attractive. It’d also be good for Ferrari, who have a…

Re 1st and Neutral: Meh, seems like you’ve jumped to conclusions based on nothing. All we know is Elon complained, and Tesla and Alameda are working on it. Literally nothing reported from the linked Bloomberg article to suggest we know Elon was a hindrance or a help to the cause. No unnamed sources with knowledge of…

There’s a lot here I feel like I missed.

Five years ago he was everyone’s hero.

Yeah, get the internet people all riled over some bs. This is the thankless work someone has to do.
