Restaurants can all provide take-out: ordering online. Too few have done so. What are the health protocalls for take-out operations?

I am watching the President's news conference this Sunday afternoon. It included a group of corporate and political players who want to remain players. Some referred to President Trump's efforts as "incredible." It is one of Trump's favorite words. It means NOT CREDIBLE but has been hijacked in recent times to suggest something favorable. Another of Trump's favorite words is "unbelievable." Yes he is.

Did you catch the news conference? The new game is that, doing nothing, $2.2 million persons would have died from Covid-19 in America. So if fewer die, thank you President Trump?

No, Trump couldn't hide or twist the inevitable and now he's agreeing with those who had said at least April 30th for two weeks. He's consistently two weeks behind what the world and it's doctors are telling him.
He said states should do the best they could to prepare(No national plan) then tweeted about how some are "Hording"? How about a National response!? How about a plan?

Good lord, I'm Republican but this is undeniably horrible management of the crisis at the Federal level. Trump stood flat footed on this one and it has cost us dearly in lives and financials. The Republican Party deserves much better and the US deserves an actual leader...we have to stop pretending.

Do something about the drug dealers in the San Vernon apartments on Middlefield- up all night tweaking in the parking lot and revving engines speeding up and down the road and in the parking lot, they are gonna get someone hurt or killed

You mean San Veron Apts? Are you suggesting the police should work a night shift? Sounds pretty demanding.

Maybe the police could at least check to make sure that any late-night meth dealers operating in Mountain View have masks and gloves so they don't so easily spread Covid-19.

I may check out the crime scene at the Veron Apts on Middlefield tonight to see if the police did anything at all in response to the post above from "Moffett Joe." I would call "essential" travel to some all-night take-out. Give me one in the area. I will be driving a black van with darkened windows - or not.
