House passes $8.3 billion package in emergency funding to fight coronavirus outbreak
The deal is far higher than the $2.5 billion originally requested by President Trump to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.

Anything like this is almost definitely a prank. No official source has ever said anything about people falling over dead without warning.

^ what racism? She sat in front of her. Look at the reflection. I would have covered my mouth too. Also, when confronted, the lady respectfully moved away.
Some people really want their "discrimination victim" moment and nothing will stop them. I wonder what's her purple account nickname.
PS: I am not trivializing true racism towards asians. I just feel that this video is a non event from someone trying to get her pity stars.

The preppers have hit the Walmart near where I live. I saw multiple people with carts full of bottled water. The canned food section wasn't empty but there were a lot of holes.
I talked to the cashier a bit and she said that they can't keep hand sanitizer or bleach in stock. Somehow when sanitizer got delivered, some people either knew or got lucky and just bought up everything that was being put on shelves by the stocking crew.

Ok, but the average time of incubation before showing symptoms is 5 days, up to two weeks. There is so much nonsense info out there it might be best if we hold back on posting stuff that isnt verified. Or if it IS speculation, at least have some facts to back it up.
Edit: or maybe not, I shouldn't act as some sort of moderator of the thread. Not really my place I guess sorry. Carry on!

Don't call panic buyers preppers, they are the opposite of that. Preppers already have the supplies and are rotating through them to keep it fresh.
It’s okay.... I enjoyed having the probability explained to me in poker terms. LOL.

Well I’m going on a four-day bachelor party vacation for mah boy starting tomorrow doing some very pre-planned-and-paid-for activities in a very public-and-crowded kind of area pretty close to a hey-we-got-infected-here kind of city. Press F to pay respects GAFbros, hopefully the secret to beating this thing is lots of booze.

In times of crisis the general public will look up to the leaders of the country for information and inspiration to get through it all. The American public has Trump.

How is this false information? In any outbreak or pandemic, especially towards the beginning, there is a population of people that do not get tested (for various reasons, tests don't exist, symptoms are super light, etc). As such, the iceberg analogy is often used - the number of cases you can see is very small versus the total infected populous.
Now add the fact that any death related to flu like symptoms/pneumonia is being scrutinized heavily so the discovery rate (versus say the flu) I would venture to guess is higher. Add the two together, and likely the 3.4% death rate is higher than actual. Whether it's below 1%, well that's anyone's guess, but based on all available data, I don't think it's false to say that likely the rate is artificially (but not deliberately) high.

I'm listening to Clyde Lewis and he was talking about how the new James Bond movie got pushed back to November as a result of the Corona virus.
Wonder if any other big movies like Ghostbusters 3 are going to be affected.

I learned along time ago that stating any negative business issue is having a less that 1% effect is totally believed until its proven incorrect.
"These people have an issue with your product."
"Yes, but its only effecting less than one percent of buyers."
I've used it, it really works or gives you breathing room before data comes along that disproves it.

Movie theaters are still closed in China, so they'll hold off because that's a big chunk of change they will lose. Release a movie in another country and piracy will kill the theatrical release in China before the release.
Ghostbusters mean nothing to China, so I can't see that getting bumped. I think Bond movies do OK as a franchise for China as they are kind of stand-alone but part of a long running series.

Anyone else seeing some blatant abrasiveness towards Chinese on social media? lol
I saw a video of a Chinese woman with a mask slap boxing with a golden retriever and I'm like huh that's funny because the dog looked happy but the woman looked serious
I look at the comments and it's all "corona"
Then I see a Chinese girl doing a mukbang video eating some kind of sea creature and the comments are all the same
And then a video of cutting open a fleshy bag to expose a fetus of some kinda four legged mammal
"corona" "they eat anything"
I thought this would blow over quick but it seems to be growing

All the teachers at my kids' Catholic school for half-term last week took a group trip to Italy, probably Vatican City.
lol, idiots
Now Italy has closed all schools and unis for a week or two.
I live in the middle of nowhere in central Europe, in an otherwise un-Corona'd country, yet it's probably coming here now too.

...hate me...
I feel like these discretionary cancels and shutdowns are just a bandaid until the other shoe drops. Eventually there will be the realization that either you cancel everything and close every office and school and nothing will be the same (plus huge economic recession) or you take measures to enable a return to somewhat normal activity. Which will likely also come with a recession, just not as big.
At least until there is a medical breakthrough.
