Dude is riled about the state of the economy. I'm sure there's some high correlation between number of tweets and stock market volatility in either direction
edit: also it's in my town, an elementary school is closed today. A few people from the Biogen outbreak live here
The one concert I bought tickets for in about 5 years just got delayed because of COVID concerns. Thankfully I had the foresight to pay slightly more for the hotel room I booked to be able to cancel/amend it.
I don't really have anywhere else to vent this so I'm just gonna post it here.

"Werden direkt in Epidemiewelle hineinlaufen"
Zwar sei man in Deutschland auf den Kampf gegen das Coronavirus gut vorbereitet, eine "Epidemiewelle" sei dennoch kaum vermeidbar, so Virologe Prof. Dr. Drosten. Wovon der Eindruck rührt, hierzulande "glimpflich" davon zu kommen, erklärt er auf einer Pressekonferenz.

German Virologist in press conference: He basically says Germany will not be an exception.
I have a festival booked for late May/early June and my holidays booked for August. No idea at this point if any of these things will happen at this rate.
that is what i was wondering when looking up the drug. definitely should only be used in rare cases it seems like.
As a huge Formula 1 fan I am happy the Australian GP this weekend is seemingly happening as planned, but at the same time I can't shake off the feeling that having tens of thousand of people "on top of each other" on the stands and on the green is a really horrible idea right now, regardless of the levels of infection in any given country. I understand that the money lost in case of a spectatorless race (or the lack of a race altgother) is enormous and it could put the future of the event in jeopardy, but at the same time human lives are the most important thing right now.
I would wait and see. It could get much worse here because
a) we have a lot of people who don't have insurance so won't go to the doctor
b) we have a lot of people who can't afford to take off work even if they're sick
Hopefully Disney themselves will extend sick leave benefits in order to prevent spread in the parks, but a lot of that will apply to the airport you'll be going to.
Can't see any reason not to book as long as you ensure you can cancel without penalty.
Small world, but I doubt this is connected
Are you in NYC at all? Friend just sent us a message from his office, that may have been exposed so sending foks home to disinfect and let them know when to come back in.
Got a news article with this info laying around by any chance?
Interesting. Apparently the second case of COVID-19 in the Dominican Republic was from a Canadian tourist, on Feb. 25th. This could mean it's circulating locally in the country, but maybe people aren't reporting it due to mild symptoms, or not being considered at-risk of being infected.

Canadian tourist is second Dominican Republic virus case
The 70-year-old woman arrived in the Caribbean country on Feb. 25 with her husband, who is not showing symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus that first appeared in China late last year.
I wouldn't travel at all for next few months if I were you. Too many question marks right now.
Good news in Quebec. Montreal opening specialised coronavirus clinics.
To be honest, I'm not as concerned about getting the virus as I am about quarantine etc. At this point I am pretty certain that at some stage in life me and my family will contract it, I'd almost rather get it whilst I am in relatively good shape and have no underlying conditions to build up some immunity for when I'm more at risk.
My concern is things like quarantine etc, i might just book it but make sure i have a rock solid cancellation clause.
Greece: 73
Netherlands and Belgium: ~250.
By the end of month expect much worse results, though, so I wouldn't travel at all
I think one of my biggest concerns if I were traveling right now would be travel restrictions going up and getting stranded somewhere
So you would rather get the virus during peak times when the hospitals would be under heavy pressure?
I was thinking about that while watching the nascar race this weekend. They are just taking a wait and see approach with it here. More hand sanitizer at the tracks and stuff. F1 going to different countries like that it doesn't surprise me that they just have to outright cancel some races. It's going to be weird to watch spectatorless ones.
Not going to count my chickens before they hatched, but the uk case number surge is remarkably lower then the curve we had for the past 7 days.
I can understand some in this thread do feel the government should enact much bigger measures, however the handling and containment of the disease has been excellent by the wider gov and the experts and scientists in charge of this, so far.
The force quarantine move was a much needed one.
The four fatalities are indeed awful, yet compared to our neibours the speead is much more manageable, for now.

The UK has a good health care system so it is possible by July you guys will be safe... Just imagine the amount of people that wont even look for treatment in the USA because they cant afford the bill... I wouldn't bet on the USA becoming safe earlier than the UK, ever.

I don't even know what to say anymore.
If it truly tapers out in hot weather then coming down here in July will be safe as fuck. I just think it's probably too early to tell what the landscape is going to be in July really.
Depends on the cancellation policy. If the discount is higher than the cancellation fee then I would do it probably.
Him and his administration really are going the Mueller Probe / Impeachment route of simply trying to pretend this doesn't exist or is somehow being misrepresented by the media. The major issue is that the evidence, those getting sick, can't simply be hidden by a complicit congress or corrupt DOJ. Going to be a sad next few weeks as the virus takes hold and the situation becomes dire.
yeah this is a good point, probably best to wait and see. Im kind of torn because i also think that being crippled by fear means that you will lose the enjoyment of life, however i dont want to make things worse for other people around me.
That's probably your best bet, but I'd definitely take pains to make sure your insurance / their cancellation policy is going to cover coronavirus-related refunds. I'm sure insurers are gearing up the excuses as we speak.
The virus has demonstrably been passed around here since January. Have health services been slammed yet? I'm not being facetious, I honestly haven't heard anything. Are hospitals even in Washington being inundated? You'd think that the shit would have hit the fan already.
Shutting down all travel is very difficult idea to do and could destroy so much of the economy, but shouldn't we at least be closing international travel for now? Stop the cruises, stop international flights
They should self-medicate with colloidal silver and kill two birds with one stone.AFP news agency on Twitter

Same. Ill still be going to Disneyland in april. Unless they close. With that said if these places close, then all concerts,sporting events & air travel will have to be canceled as well. If that happens we will have much bigger problems.
