French people are big smokers in general. Tobacco stores are also excempt from the lockdown on non-essential stores and commerce...
I'd only board up the house & buy a gun if it was something like >10% fatal.
But what I oscillate between is "none of the family should go to a store / public space at all" and "stores and small gatherings are OK".
They did say "we will not prevent manifestations" the day before.
The fact they didn't follow the exact guidelines was to be expected and foolish of the government to even let them assemble at all.
Honestly... most businesses with less than 50 people are going to struggle to make it at all, especially the kinds where work from home isn't an option. The government should be stepping up here and picking up the burden, most restaurants, salons etc are just finished if they're forced to close for months on end and obviously everyone working for them is even more fucked.
He was scheduled first for 14:00 , then 15:00, then we dunno, then 20:00.... god lord lol
So my dad just texted me, very excited.
He tells me he heard that an "Oxford Physicist" is saying that COVID-19 came from outer space, via a comet that crashed in China a few weeks ago. "It all makes sense!" he assures me.
I...I'm at a lost for words.
For the record, my dad hates Trump and voted for Warren in the primary, but nevertheless he is a HUGE believer of the Ancient Astronaut/UFO bullshit.

I don't think it's bad, but keep your distance and explain that to her?
I have TVE 24h as background noise on my PC while I play Nioh 2 waiting for this thing lol
Yeah, even though our kids sports leagues were canceled for a few weeks she wants us all to go to DICKS because we have a 15% off coupon to get them sports gear and I see it now as needlessly unnecessary to go. Even though there's currently zero confirmed cases near me. If you asked me a few days ago I would 100% have said hell yeah let's go.
Sounds legit. It definitely "makes sense." In fact, it's the only thing that does. No way it could come from anything else. /s
I've been following this thread from the beginning and want to share my appreciation to everyone who has posted detailed info as things developed throughout the world. As a result I've been able to prepare myself, my family, and my organization so much more effectively. We're talking positive impact for 100s of people, so thank you.
He thinks a strain of COVID virus appeared from outer space a few weeks ago? Uhh...
He didn't say community, said country. He was also the president, not a community organizer.
It's a garbage quote and one that is really not fitting right now.
We all should 100% ask what our country can do for us right now, and the idea that it's somehow a bad thing is a terrible way of looking at the relationship between citizens and their public servants.
We don't need volunteers right now, we need our government to get of their ass and start doing shit, for us.
You know what would've helped in this situation...some kind of military force based in space.
Like a SPACE FORCE!
(*casts ballot for Trump*)
Seriously though, props to your dad for hating Trump despite that.
I hate to be the one to break it to you but in all likelihood we're going to need both before this is over.
And yet the only time I ever see that quote utilized is by conservatives to shut down discussions about universal healthcare and UBI.
Why risk this for a 15% off coupon?
And we should all assume it is in our area, even if there haven't been any positive tests yet. The US is not testing enough.
I can strongly insist to my wife we don't go but I can't make her stay home.
I know, but it shouldn't be.
We're the richest country in the history of the world, and we should be paying the people who will do the actual work to fight this virus. Because we both know it wouldn't be our politicians. Who of course will get paid, and have nice health insurance, and can get tested even if they have a cough, and I'm sure will have hospital bed if they really need to.
So yeah, fuck what I can do for them.
Well examining a 50 year old quote through modern political lens likely isn't the best thing to do to begin with. Really actually that quote is also rooted in the Cold War, which was the dominant political issue of its time.
And as this progresses I suspect actually the strategy is going to become that communities have to rally together to support the people in their community that are 65+ so that they can have groceries and other services brought to their doors.
Shutting down society indefinitely is not feasible in this way, the goal right now is to try and flatten the curve as much as possible, but in the future past that first few weeks, likely we're going to need people that go help at risk older populations with basic needs because they probably will need to be isolated from general populations well into the summer.
i mean, the simplest takeaway here is in scary times, our current president basically said fuck-all
The world really needs to put pressure on China to permanently close those wet markets once this is somewhat settled.
Time after time all kinds of shit comes out of those markets. One exotic animal shits on another and now the entire world is eating the shit sandwich

Sure, but that doesn't excuse the exemption for companies with more than 500 employees.
Oh yeah thats total horseshit and its just Trump looking out for his rich buddies.
Wife and I have already taken 2 walks around our neighborhood today, I think more and more people are gonna do the same
I wouldnt go to any gathering to be quite honest. They will have another bdays, safety comes first.
Seems like there are big differences between % of people in critical cases in countries. Does this give more credence to the two strain theory?

Hubei, Italy, Iran, France, Spain, Netherlands all seem to have lots more critical cases.
I don't think it's a data lagging issue as South Korea is pretty ahead of the time line.
If the mild strain is here in the US, speed running it is actually viable strategy for us. It'll be like a pseudo vaccine imo.
Too bad it seems like UK has the severe strain.
