Corona and other diseases

Nothing that comes out of his mouth is the truth, and the fact that he constantly peppers his speech with superlatives adds to that lack of credibility.

Unless we're talking about his opinion of himself, then we can be very assured that he's being truthful in his own opinion of his unquantified greatness and leadership.

I still wanted to see Outbreak 2: The Virus Takes Manhattan. Jean Claude Van Damme be damned.

I'm living it... The virus HAS taken Manhattan.

...

It's overrated.

No gratuitous Van Damme scene where he exercises in his boxers?

'The party is over': Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ends spring break amid the coronavirus pandemic

Somebody finally showed the Gov. JAWS.

They probably think they're being proactive in doing this. These people have been gathered since at least Monday. It may contain/prevent less now, but if it was there and spread, its already circulated enough to do real damage. Not only there in FL, but those bringing it back to wherever they call home.

Too MANY.

Well, Gamestop just stooped to a new low. They are trying to keep their stores open by calling themselves an essential service.

Isn't Reggie their new CEO?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Again... Those in the GOP and thus it is impossible for our president not to be in the loop, were briefed on what we are going through now long ago... In fact Sen. Burr sold off a nice chunk of stock right before the **** really hit the fan.

Call your reps and senators. This is egregious and no whataboutism or false equivalency will change that.

He was added to their board of directors, not an actual managerial role.

That is apparently a significant amount of his net worth, so yeah, pure greed there.

Ah got it.

Guys in that stream already declaring victory.

"There is already a cure from malaria drugs! No reason to panic."


This is the price of a credulous population that needed their first impressions of this story to be presented with facts most dire... Instead they heard "It's no big deal/It's a hoax/It will go away on its own" for, what, two and half months? Close to that?

And until they or someone important to them catches it they'll keep acting like nothing should impinge on they lives.

That's cool!

Do I want to know what a drive through lap dance is.. ?

Was wondering the same thing myself.

I was like "how would that even work?". Is ordering drive-thru lap dances like ordering off the $1 menu at McDonald's??

 

[Steyin]

Well damn, just had my salary cut by 20% and 401K employee match suspended. Glad I'm still employed of course, but man I hope everyone else is doing well and hanging in there.

If you want to see what a 2 billion dollar sport looks like playing inside an empty 100,000 seat stadium.....



First game of the year at the same stadium usually draws in excess of 90,000 fans.

Thing is... This is going to go all over.

All over.

Unless one is living in the wilderness cut off from everything it's going to eventually pretty much wash over about any place we can imagine.

Can we slow and contain it so that infection rate is spread out over time rather than hitting each country and their medical system like a tsunami.

California like everywhere practically was always going to to have a high penetration into the population.

That it is happening so fast is where the rubber meets the road.

I hope you don't have anything to worry about personally. But the percentage rising was a given.
