Source: NBC

The quake, the state's largest since 1992, knocked out power to tens of thousands of households and businesses and disrupted some government efforts to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake shook Salt Lake City, Utah, early Wednesday morning, knocking out power to tens of thousands of households and businesses, shuttering the area's airport, and disrupting some government efforts to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.

The quake struck about 4 miles northeast of Magna, Utah, which is 15 miles west of Salt Lake City, just after 7 a.m. local time. Dozens of aftershocks followed, with one reaching a magnitude 4.5.

The state's Department of Emergency Management said aftershocks were likely to continue throughout the day, and officials urged people to shelter in place. The initial quake, the state's largest since 1992, was felt from Logan to Riverton, which are about 100 miles apart.

People reported feeling the quake from as far as Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada, The Associated Press reported.

Where did Trump get this 53% Approval?

Here's what I could find. Maybe some staffers showed it to him from 6 feet away and upside down.

Unless it's Gallup or Rasmussen, It's ass backwards




There are some mentions of 53% here but they aren't approvals in general or related to the Coronavirus


Here's the tweet...and Jeff Tiedrich's awesome reply.

Notice that Trump (and Pence) HAVE to stay in the camera frame

Totally counter to the social distancing that we all are doing.

Trump is back on everyday because he couldn't stand Pence dominating the air time. Plus he finally stopped listening to that diptwerp Jared and is trying to show empathy.

Messaging is:
We're doing great
Blame or at least mention China
Blame Obama

Oh and he's browbeating reporters.

**Telecommuting thread** how long are you out?

Me - 1 month. Public service.
My wife - until further notice. Fortune 500 company.
Daughter - 2 weeks from school.

We're all here...with the dog. We'll see how strong our WiFi is.
