If they are like the people I see online, they won't care. The only way they will understand is if a week or two from now the US hospitals are overrun with sick people. Maybe then they will believe it.
In my personal opinion, if you're driving back I think you have a better chance of not catching covid-19 when you stop for fuel in the less populated states. Stay safe when you travel back!
They just updated, total is 95 now, which is much better than I thought it'd be
Here's the thing, these soulless cretins don't fucking care.
If you're not with them, you're the enemy and they view, and treat, you as such.
They want you dead, they want you out of the way so they can rob everyone of everything you've ever earned to hoard it for themselves.

6 New Cases of Coronavirus Confirmed in Illinois, Lifting State to 25
Illinois has six new confirmed cases of coronavirus, health officials announced Wednesday, bringing the state’s total to 25. The update came during the state’s daily coronavirus press briefing. “With these new cases, we are seeing more spread in our community, and again I echo the governor’s...

Wow.
And remember, the US and most of the rest of Europe, is trending in this direction.
My company in NYC finally made the call - voluntary work from home is now in effect. People can choose to go in if they'd like (I was fucking rolling my eyes at the one girl asking if she could come in tomorrow because she was just "so busy") but for the most part, everyone will be staying home. They didn't put a time limit on it. Some folks said "Yeah we'll be back in a week or two" but honestly? I think this thing is just going to be gearing up in a week or two. Based on how things in Italy are going, we may not be back until end of April/early May.
Happy to not have to be in NYC anymore. It was giving me so much anxiety. Now I just have to worry about my parents/grandparents. My dad is flying on Friday and I've been trying to convince him not to. He is 60 and healthy, but he's being a bit thick headed about this unfortunately. Sigh.

My work is moving to remote and we're a big ass national corporation. All non essential at to stay at home till April and go from there.
good news is my partner just has the normal flu (probably)

If Trump was slightly less stupid, he'd be shit talking China more over this, not attacking the democrats who can easily point out in an election year how the GOP set the country up to be poorly equipped for this.
We told the thread 2 weeks ago, that stocking up on essentials is not fearmongering or panic buying, just common sense. It is too late to start preparing when the government declares we can officially panic.
Oh definitely, it's just so frustrating and maddening to watch
Hannity and republicans suffering from trumpism and their own idiocy as usual. I heard that's a bad combo to have when exposed to the virus
Even if you humor the conspiracy, an executive office that was proactive, well-informed, and coordinating with other leaders across the globe would have been able to stop the "Deep State Virus" before it even became a problem at home anyway.
But of course their train of thought will stop well before they reach that conclusion.
It's a no shit, sherlock moment. People didn't want to listen and now they're surprised things are gone.
Principal just called my wife for emergency staff meeting at her school in 15 minutes (today was a training day).
Oh boy
Oh boy
Drastic situations require drastic decisions. Hope this all works out for the best too, because we (read: the rest of Europe) are heading in the same direction.
The issue is the hotel stay in Salt Lake City. It's about a 18 hour drive from my parents in California to my fiancee mom's place. Salt Lake is the half way point. I physically can't drive the full length. I have to stop and get a good night's sleep.
It's a risk I'm not sure I want to take, especially with her mom's medical history (diabetes, a heart attack and cancer).
Stay outside of SLC. Last trip across the country I stayed in SLC with the Wife, kiddo, and three pets (hotel). Farther from the interstate the better too. When you eat, go the grocery store and buy food there. Leave today, who knows what tomorrow is going to do in regards to supplies and road closures.
Italy needs it because the numbers that continue to come out of there are shocking. I'm not sure what else they can do at this point.
Why stay in SLC there are tons of tiny podunk towns you can stay in instead. Most will have a much lower chance of infection make sure you get a motel it will be safer.
Actually, and i learned this like 2 hours ago, we have one of the most important manufacturers of ventilation systems for ICUs.
They've been tasked to triple the production.
They also make it for other countries and they helped sending i don't know how many in Korea.
EDIT: sorry, Italy
The man is so fucking terrified of being in the room with powerful women.
I know maybe it's bad but with all these conventions, sporting events, commutes, business trips, and travel basically being banned until further notice I'm really wondering what effect this will have on greenhouse gases...
It'll be an interesting thing to study once this all blows over and maybe we'll start seeing the rise of non essential travel and working from home.

Nancy, I like to call her Nancy, is a girl!!!! Anyone with a bigly brain, like me, knows Nancy is a girl and girls have cooties. SAD!!
Coronavirus: Nasa images show China pollution clear amid slowdown
Nasa says major decreases in nitrogen dioxide levels are "at least partly" linked to the outbreak.

It's making a huge difference in Wuhan, China last time I looked into it.
I've decided to push when I leaveback. It's just to much of a risk to my fiancée's mom.
I was going to put my two weeks in next week, but I don't think I'm going to.
It's just a risk I don't want to take, especially in regards to my future mother in law.
There's no deadline for a decision, but one of the people familiar with the talks said the task force will not give Trump its final verdict until Jared Kushner, the president's senior adviser and son-in-law, finishes his research and comes to a conclusion himself.
You know I was horrified and then k broke into laughter reading this bullshit

Fucking christ, if I think I have the virus I don't give a single fuck who sticks a Q-tip up my nose, I just want it to be done with ease and with the least potential to infect someone else. If I call up my PCP with the presumption I have COVID-19, I guarantee you they will tell me to fuck off to someone else anyway.
I don't mean to be pessimistic, but the key point of this is, for how much longer can we keep producing the medical supplies should the disease keeps going? And more importantly, how many parts in the produced ventilation systems are imported from China?
Companies will all diversity the supply chains after this. It ridiculous how many eggs are put into one basket.
We're now learning that my wife will likely not be able to stay with me or visit me while I'm recovering after my surgery. The wording is that she can be in the hospital (University of Washington) during the surgery, she can see me once I'm done but then she has to leave. 5-7 days by myself in the cardiac ICU. Fuuuuck.
