US extends travel ban to UK and Ireland – as it happened
Ivanka Trump working from home as a precaution; US House passes virus aid package; China records 11 new cases; WHO says Europe is at centre of pandemic
It was on the Reuters wire.
Shaking hands is superficial anyway. If everyone in the world stopped shaking hands, there would probably be a net benefit due to not spreading germs, even in normal contexts. It is tightly woven into professional and social interactions, so of course it sounds ridiculous, but what would we lose?

Reporters were screaming about it as trump walked off but he didnt answer
That's a much better solution, but trying to show that to those who empty TP on supermarkets could be next to impossible. I really am amazed at the TP craze though. It's every-fucking-where around the world.
Also, this is wild. The trend stands with every country that has at least 100 cases reportes. They're mostly riding the same exponential curve:
I was at the Lucha Libre last night at Mexico City arena. Was impressed to see them temperature testing and handing out liberal amounts of hand sanitiser.
What're they doing? I haven't seen anyone mention Japan when lauding countries at all this week.
Partly because they have the second oldest demographics in the world, and the CV is most dangerous for people 70+ and pre-existing conditions. If they haven't tested enough people, the CFR may appear high because they'll have tracked every person who died, but not every person who had/has it.
Who can tell who is right? who are we to judge? there are many arguments on all sides.
No seriously, why the fuck do you do this shit?
No it's one of the best in the world, especially in the regions that have been hit by the virus
Yeah. But it's still way more deadly than the flu. The flu for under that age range is like magnitudes Lower.
Oh I agree that it would be a ridiculous infraction on social liberties, but from a purely rational perspective it is probably unnecessary. Although now I think of it that's actually one way of building immunity from less deadly germs but I imagine those will get around regardless.
Yup. also "no shortages" does not mean "this store in particular will never be out of stock, ever, even if people hoard like idiots". It means they can restock if they're out.
I don't understand not having any real restrictions and letting the virus run rampant delays the peak.
He was responding to a question about that exact thing. I thought for sure he'd say "I'm preternaturally immune to disease and my yooge bearclaw/human catcher's mitt hands kill the disease on contact and secrete a cure"
Spot on; it would do the opposite, and I don't think that's what the government is aiming to do - I just think that's what their inaction is likely to cause.
