Agreed on the Military vs Police. The National Guard consists of your every day coworkers who are just normal citizens 28 out of 30 days a month. They're much less likely to be assholes than regular police.

Dr Drew?
Like, loveline Dr Drew?
Why the fuck is that dickhead injecting himself into this?
It's what they want to believe. If we get sick enough to be kept out of work for weeks we're fucked. This is easily the kind of thing that can send our working class over the edge. People are scared of that and don't want to even entertain it as a belief. So they pretend nothing's wrong and want everyone to shut up so they can live in blissful ignorance.
There's also total fuckin morons out here as well.
^ yeah, same here.
What the actual fuck, assholes stockpiling here (Vancouver, BC) like its the end of the world, leaving none behind for the people who actually need it.
My coworkers are talking about Amazon giving a $5 million grant to the businesses here in Seattle that are losing business from Amazon employees staying home and not shopping/eating around South Lake Union. The real economic impacts (not just stock prices) of this virus appear to be devastating.
I feel bad for Italy, man.

Holy shit 168 new deaths.
yeah what the fuck are Asian students at Harvard supposed to do with travel bans in their home countries?
Yeah, yesterday they reported 2k new cases, it's down to 1k today so that's massive drop
If Harvard in fact is offing no help to its students then It absolutely is.
I don't understand why people feel the need to do this. Is it because they want to feel smarter than everyone else?
Yeah that's tragic. Wonder where / when it will stop....I feel bad for Italy, man.

Ahhh, I see he felt that he didn't get enough people killed with Celebrity Rehab.
And today it was still impossible for me to find hydroalcoholic solution...
Yesterday a big bottle that was used for everyone in the studio I was working was missing, someone probably had stolen it...

Probably the first one to ask but why would you eat a burger that someone sneezed into 🤔
That's great news. I'm not going to overreact to the deaths. Deaths are expected considering the elderly there and those effected in the past could possibly die later
Dentists in Canada are threatening they might have to close because shitheads keep bulk buying facial masks. My partner works in a hospital and they've had to centralize their supply of masks in one place (under lock and key) because people are stealing them
People in this fucking city are just out for themselves, it's disgusting
The joke is that alcohol is not a scarce resource. We can pretty much make unlimited amount of it, and we can start doing it today. It's just that the free market is a terrible way to allocate resources.
The less people in the office, the better that is for everyone. Trying very hard right now to get remote working officially green-lit at my company.
Of course you will contract the virus if you eat a contaminated burger.
soon, with the lockdowns. probably a few more days of bad numbers...
Washington will allow workers in isolation/quarantine to claim Unemployment benefits:
I mean that is a great move.
I mean that is a great move.
Because no one cares unfortunately other than those who work in the frontlines at hospitals
Houston Rodeo is still going on for an example - we got the mayor saying it's okay 😂
Perhaps because people who need intensive care can't get it.
it's the epicenter in europe, and they have many old people infected.
My 1st thought was that they have a significantly higher geriatric population? I don't know, just my initial hot take.
I understood that when the people catching it could have been limited to elderly communities with a limited number of infected, but it appears to be holding at a higher percentage even as it spreads?

Some people are downplaying the severity while others think the world is coming to an end.
tbh I think its because there's bullshit on both sides of it.

So seriously they are just not going to test people from that cruise ship?
If so the real US number is likely well over 1000. And given the general lack of testing all over the country it is probably much higher than that.
The US response actually does mirror the initial Wuhan response.
Downplay and ignore.

2nd oldest population in the world. The original outbreak was in towns with large elderly populations, young people have moved to cities for job opportunities.
85% of those who died had at least 2 pre-existing health conditions.

“BREAKING NEWS: 168 deaths more with #coronavirus in Italy in last day, toll at 631 The age ranging from 60 to 95 years old. Overall average of total is 81 years old. In 85% cases each was already suffering of two previous disease”

The people from the cruise ship are in quarantine I think, right? I guess their line of thinking is there's no reason to test if they are in quarantine and aren't showing symptoms. Which I think is bad, because apparently you can be an asymptomatic carrier, right?
Infection passed through an hospital in the beginning
My parents (70+) want to keep doing what they always do. They have a very Keep Calm and Carry On/Spirit of the Blitz attitude. I'm trying to make them see that this is more like refusing to turn your lights off at night during the Blitz. It's not just you who the bombs land on.
Write to your MP. I did so a month ago ago already, go no reply of course, but if the letters start pouring in maybe they'll get the memo. (it would also work as placebo to make you feel less powerless perhaps)
Wouldn't it be safer for everyone involved if they just let them stay? Why risk exposure travelling? Give them the option to stay or go home.
