Just reading that two people in Belmont County Ohio

where I live have the COVID-19. Both of them also attended the CPAC conference. Isn't that ironic that the people that have claimed it is all a Democrat hoax have picked up
the hoax.

We haven't been there in decades, but I always smile when I hear the area mentioned.

Yep, that’s ironic alright.

I go to the Ohio Valley Mall occasionally because it has the nearest Boscov’s, but I don’t expect a trip anytime soon.

in Cleveland with them at CPAC had it so they got tested and they also have it. They don't have names I would think people should know if they had been in contact with them. Privacy I guess.

I’d be really disappointed if Boscov’s closed stores, however. I love that store.

Although if an employee tests positive then the store will likely be closed.

CPAC attendees from all over the country got together, exposed themselves to the virus, and then took it home to their friends and relatives. When will Fox hosts be reporting on this? I know—never.

but this is better than the rapture. Take ALL those self important radical fundies and give them a fatal virus. Do you think they gave a rat's ass about the victims of HIV?

Since we know he was exposed to it, and is refusing to be tested (because well, he is superman and is impervious), wouldn't it be sweet irony if it took him out? I mean, he's 73, and in lousy health. He's refusing to take precautions. I almost feel guilty (almost ) about kind of hoping for this, but it would sure solve a lot of problems with a minimum of blowback. His minions can crawl back into their caves and turn him into a martyr. They'll tie themselves in knots trying to pin it on the Dems, and never accept it was his own doing. But trying to blame Obama will at least keep them busy for a while, and might be fun to watch. Nobody in his circle has the ability to con people like he does, so they'd never get the unquestioning support. And hopefully, he's the last of his kind.

In their own minds, it probably justifies their conspiracy paranoia: the libs are out to get us.

There was a rumor that someone tested positive here, no news

College with a big international program, large multinational corporations, and river town, just a matter of time.

I had relatives who lived in Barnesville and we lived in Woodsfield, Monroe County for years. Love the area, but don't go back much. My father-in-law was a brick and block layer, helped build the mall buildings.
