FEMA is one thing but I really hope they're looking at supply chains, crucial manufacturers, and importers to ensure that necessary consumer goods are widely available.
Psh I would trade it all away to not have this public health crisis, but I am extremely fortunate to be able to work from home and set up my own schedule.
You could park on the side of the highway and sleep in the car. 🤷♂️ I've done that a few times in Utah.
Oh absolutely, maybe this will be the good outcome of corona. There fucking needs to be spread of other relatively big supply chains, the hyper capitalistic min-max cost effective approach be damned.
We pretty much got to the point of "China stops, the world stops".
Denmark closes. This is going to be weird.
It was almost surreal watching that. And though our prime minister made it abundantly clear that hoarding was unnecessary and would only exacerbate the issues, when I was walking home stores were full of people, some shelves already empty despite people having only roughly an hour after the announcement in many places, before stores closed.
Would be easier if people decided to listen to our authorities.

So...how likely is it that the US will be quarantined and for how long? I may stock up on a month of groceries tonight, do we think that'll be long enough?
There is hopefully a lot more good outcomes than just this. But I hear you. This is definitely one of them.
Three things that had me worried recently.
1.) Our department's managers flying out to Las Vegas for work later this month - CANCELLED
2.) My work trip to Toronto in Q2 - CANCELLED
3.) Conference set to take place later this month - Pending
2 out of 3. Let's knock that last one out.

Similar pollution levels as us:

Only 1% in critical condition.
I think we will flatten curve easily here in the US with the measures we've taken. 🤞
In comparison, northern Italy, Iran, and China are much more polluted.

Don't worry, for the man assigned to solve the middle-east crisis this will be a walk in the park.
that's a good start. I wouldn't extrapolate further than that just yet.
Probably not at this rate. I am more worried about the supply chain than actually going to the store to be honest.
One of my mates send a snap first of his TV where she said 'don't hoard' and then he pointed his camera out of the window to the closest Netto where people were literally standing in a queue outside.
Make sure to buy food you would eat anyway because nobody knows how these things go.
I think it will have to get exponentially worse before they shut down grocery stores though. It's probably more important to have a 2 week supply for self quarantine than anything.
The post you were replying to was about measures Korea is taking.
That's what I did today. A few packages of chicken breast to throw in the freezer, rice, and frozen vegetables.
You replied to a post about South Korea that included a tweet about South Koreas use of technology to notify people.
Honest question, what's the plan for this? Do we just lock down everything for two weeks and wait for everyone carrying it to either die or let their body kill the virus? Is that how we gonna stop it?
There's so much to learn from this pandemic from a social/economic standpoint that I don't even know where to start.

I don't think we've got what it takes, sadly.
There's this woman I work with who thinks the coronavirus is an overblown hoax. I've been trying to convince her to show some respect for those of us with compromised immune systems, etc. (as there are several in our office, including a close friend of mine) so she came up to me and LITERALLY COUGHED ON ME. Then she goes, "Do you think you're infected now?"
I can't even.
I can't even.

Is this John Hopkins University data accurate at all? Pretty Cray Cray
Yep. I'd report this to HR immediately. I work at a very relaxed company, and if she did that here, she'd be packing up for good.
Yes. Dutch government hasn't been taking this seriously enough. Only a handful of events cancelled, mostly in North-Brabant. It should be nation-wide. All sporting events cancelled or played without crowds. More flight restrictions. It's gonna hurt financially, but the alternative is worse.
This helps with the infection rate. Doesn't explain why their number of critical cases is much lower than Iran's and Italy's. Iran has a younger population than SK's.
I mean it's not that big of a stretch. Smokers are more susceptible to this disease. Air pollution works in the similar ways in damaging lungs.
Hmm, with that said, folks with hypertension / obsesity being susceptible to this virus.
fuck.
That's the one I've been watching, hope it's accurate. I refresh every couple hours and watch the numbers go up. It's morbid but I can't stop watching it.Is this John Hopkins University accurate at all? Pretty Cray Cray
contain the spread until vaccines arrive
Contagion, the movie basically
Between:
-health care issues
-planning of country-wide emergencies
-supply chain reliance
-the bajillion other things
Yeah, I hope that not just the US, but other countries troubled like this will learn well.
If that was me, she'd probably get punched. I'd consider that a form of assault.
But you should report her to HR.
