??:the babybooners are entrenched in our government and basically bailing out and only worried about the ruling class. Us the younger generation are barley holding on
The opposition to the government is also largely populated by boomers.
I think getting angry at old people is directing anger the wrong way and the motherfuckers who are actually responsible for this mess will want nothing more than see normal people fighting along generational lines, which I think will achieve nothing.
Yeah this disease is taxing on the medical personnel in hospital...
more than 30% of the artificially ventilated persons because of sars-cov2 die...it's difficult to cope with :( If on top of that you have to be part of the decision making of the heartbreaking choices on whom get a ventilator, it is very very very hard. A bit like terrorism massacre victims, but every day... for weeks
Conservatives/Republicans are actively killing this country.
I was playing Warzone last night with a couple of guys I used to play Battlefield with, one of them is super conservative and saw somewhere that if you go outside in the sun, it'll get rid of the virus on your clothes (even though it's the skin contact that matters??). He legitimately believed this and made him feel people shouldn't worry about it. Both me and the other guy in our party had to explain how a virus actually works and behaves, and how serious this is. Mentioning that the US is now getting new Coronavirus cases faster than any other country seemed to be a sobering moment for him, as he just kind of went quiet for a couple minutes.
My town has linked to a site to help people manage some of their resources at home, and keep panic shopping to a minimum. And this is not a joke, that site is howmuchtoiletpaper.com
Dammit. Looks like we swapped. I decided to quit last week. Probably still fucked but better late than never. Went cold turkey. I'm sure the new routine helps but it still sucks. Flavored toothpicks and gum are getting me through.
It's actually not a stress reliever since it raises your heat rate. Your brain is just tricking you. Hopefully you can kick it.
I'm not advocating to hate them but I'm not going to ignore their part in this situation either. We're in the twilight of their time in power and it should not be controversial to point out the fact that their tenure will have left the nation in far worse shape than what they inherited from their parents.
Again read the news headlines the only think they worried about bailing out there buddies and one of the sticking points is compensation and buy backs. Go figure
I work in a public school as a teacher assistant and my district is closed but staff are still required to come into work. However, my wife works in a hospital and there are patients who either have COVID or who are getting screened. She's not a doctor or nurse (therapist), but several of her co-workers have been forced into isolation because of possible exposure. My gut tells me not to go in because my wife could be exposed at any time, but it seems like no one is taking this seriously.
Remember those masks that were supposed to go to italy but poland and the czech republic confiscated them because they were from the black market?
Turns out the packages had Chinese and italian flags on them and they were handed out at local hospitals.
Czech republic has now confirmed it's true and apologized to italy.

It just seems simplistic to paint with the boomer-evil brush and it devolves this thread into a back and forth about that subject.
Germany allowing only groups of two people (exceptions for same household and families) is great but when you think about the train and bus situation where they activated the holiday timetable and only half of the buses and trains are driving around then I am pretty sure they will be pretty full at certain times since a lot of people still have to go to work.
Not at all. I work in a school and I'm slightly annoyed at how my Superintendent is dragging his feet on letting people know what is actually going on.
We should probably keep the debates over generations to other threads. We all have people in these generations - young, old, etc. - that we care about and don't want them to be harmed by the virus. Let's focus on the pandemic in here.
Please don't. Not only because it's horrible for you normally, but with this virus and the impact on your lungs...eek.
This is a good idea. One more before bed then I'm doing the same, thank you.
McDonald's in Canada just shut down all their takeout. It's drive-through and delivery only now.
Old people will be dropping like flies in the thousands upon thousands around the world.
Yet, I've seen tons of them today ignoring the oz governments advice while driving; They are the most at risk, but it was if I was watching a scene from a movie before the grim reaper showed up to stop the party.
I feel so sorry for all health workers around the world. I truly do.

I have a crap ton of nurses I'm friends with across 8 different hospitals on Long island. It's all the same shit. It's not good and people need to stay home.
especially when we're the ones who put the government in place either by voting idiots in or not voting at all.
nah, no ding ding. Many of us have people we cate for deeply that are old and we definitely don't want them to fuck off. And most of them very likely never had decision making power to almost wish them dead due to politics.
So I work down the port in NJ (Newark) and I work on cars that come off the ships from Japan. There's about 150 people that work there and we can not work at 6 feet distancing in our fairly small building. The port has not closed as that is fairly essential for business goods that are necessary but are cars really essential right now? I'm very concerned about going to work tomorrow (I had vacation this past week so I wasn't there). So many people there it's just a hub for this shit. The company that I work for actually shut down their manufacturing facilities for two weeks but yet we don't get the same? Bullshit.
We're finally testing, is all. As people are getting tested, the numbers are going to skyrocket here.
Sounds like the Austrian rules we had for one week here already.
Worked really well in dusseldorf yesterday where everyone was taking a walk on the Rhine boardwalk.
Hopefully it's just the number of cases going up at this rate.
Not gonna lie, I'm terrified of the moment our own (Portugal) ICU's get overcrowded due to these cases. That's when the death toll goes nuts. Fortunately, so far, only 41 ICU cases here, but it's been rising....
