Mr. Community
So what's going on with Italy, do they wait until prime time to report?

Ironically little Italy in NYC has been pretty much taken over by Chinatown.Do they have a "little italy" there? Like here in so cal we have korea town. Is there something similar there? If so, wonder if family and stuff flew in before all the lockdowns went in to place.
Shit I should have brought my Switch to work. The DC area and my office are a ghost town...
Or as I call themOk, this is epic.
For those out of the loop, it's anti-theft "spider wire".
Nothing wrong with calling it a Chinese virus. That's where it fucking came from.
Polititards gonna Polititard
Not for me. The toll road at 8am was completely empty. Like how it is on a Sunday. 495 and the GW Pkwy were a little more busy but still no real traffic. It's so weird.Yet somehow the commute still sucks.. lol
In an address to the nation, Trudeau said workers who don't qualify for employment insurance can apply to receive the Emergency Support Benefit every two weeks for 14 weeks. He said applicants can include those who are placed in quarantine or have to self-isolate, those who are ill with the coronavirus infection, and those who must care for someone with COVID-19.

- Heavy breathing?
- You've never had someone throw a drop of spit your way while talking? You know, that pinhead size drop?
- Allergy season, so coughs, sniffles, and sneezes are all over the place

These are not my questions....
No problem. They come from another forum where a Doctor in the "know" is answering questions from members.oh wait whoops, misread
Probably because it was a stupid fucking idea.Guys, is it clear at this point why UK government has abandoned the "herd immunity" plans?
Yo where's my chequeIf you're Canadian, pay attention to the next two weeks.
Trudeau will try and pass the Emergency Support Act, which entitles you to 14 weeks of benefits.
Yeah, looks like we have several people from the DMV in this thread. Pretty cool.Really? I'm still hitting traffic on 95 anyway always nice to see a neighbor ! I'm native to Buffalo but live in Alexandria/Baileys
It has to pass Parliament first, in which case, you will probably just have to register online for it and money will be given to you via direct deposit.Probably because it was a stupid fucking idea.

Vermont is changing the way it reports cases. There are now 10 cases in the state.
From CNN's Carma Hassan
Vermont will no longer report non-Vermont resident cases of the novel coronavirus, according to the state’s Department of Health spokesman Ben Truman.
Yesterday, the state was reporting 12 cases of coronavirus: 8 Vermont residents and 4 non-Vermont residents with coronavirus.
Today, it is only reporting 10 cases of coronavirus among its residents.
Damn picking up pace... 34% rise (+676 cases)
I'm not a Trump supporter by any means, nor how he has handled the coronavirus thus far but he didn't say China Virus in passing; he said it on purpose, and for good reason - The CPC is currently trying to cover up its mess and spin a false narrative. They are spreading crazy propaganda about the US military causing the virus, which they know no one will buy but they use it as a smokescreen to obscure the truth. They are also praising themselves for how they contained the virus and pushing western media to do the same. They are hoping everyone conveniently forgets that it originated in China and has somehow reached almost every country in the world. The first 2 months of containment in China was not of the virus itself but of publicity.He spent the entire fucking conference talking about the real issues at hand, every single day... he only said China Virus in passing.... it's you who decided to spend your energy on that, no one else.
So lets say we decided to do the worst thing possible.
We quarantine every old person and stop sending people to the ICU. Basically say if u are that fucked well to bad.
How many infected and dead do you think we would have ?
If we consider 96 to 99% test negative and 95% of deaths are old people where would we be ?
Again worse case scenario where we said ICUs are closed.
This is a both/and situation, since people will assuredly die if economies collapse.You need to quarantine everyone, not just old people. Its time to care more about lives rather than economics.
IF 1% of the population gets severe symptons (which is a very optimistic outcome), then there will be millions of deaths, not only from the virus, but because hospitals will basically be closed.
This virus is estimated to infect 40-70% of the global population, and right now about 4-6% result in death, and its not only old people, on a 65+ y/o they have a 15-20% death, but on an average adult its still about 2%.
I know its hard to believe something like this, but in Europe this is the standard now, everyone I know is on quarantine, no one is leaving the house, and its like that in pretty much every single country.
I will ask and get back to you.Are you able to ask questions there by chance?
If so, could you ask what antipyretics are options if one cannot take paracetamol due to Steven-Johnsons Syndrome / Toxic Epidermal Necrosis (mortality rate of 30-70%)?

The countries that get through this need to balance the need to lock down with the need to provide for those in lockdown.
Well that was my scenario. We close the hospitals basically and say if you got it you either recover or you die. Like it was 1890 and we didnt have all these respirstord and ICUs etc....
If we had millions dead do you think it would still break down along the same age lines?
Clearly we will never close hospitals but wondering if it got so bad that hospitals just closed how bad people think it will get.
I figure if it got to that point to protect the elderly we would probably lock them away and then force everyone else to just deal with it.
Where do you think money comes from?Not necessarily, Europe is basically on a stand still and surprisingly making sure no one will face financial strain, because they are working on a mutual debt system.
Bad timing White House Task Force. PS5 being shown.
I switched to WH feed. Cerny is a boring cunt and DF posted the specs. They’re not showing games.Maybe Trump will give me a $1k check so I can afford a PS5
Not necessarily, Europe is basically on a stand still and surprisingly making sure no one will face financial strain, because they are working on a mutual debt system.
Italy is already doing that, everyone over 80+ is being denied assistance, its not helping the problem, because it will affect the average adult and not only the elderly in very very large numbers. America has quite a high number of people with respiratory difficulties such as asthma or bronchitis, which makes this problem ten fold worst.
I live in Madeira, we only have 1 active case and we already closed down schools, gyms, nightclubs and bars, restaurants and pretty much everything, and we already closed the ICU and all non essencial medical procedures...and we only have 1 case. Our president dealt with this very harshly, but everyone is very glad he did, we can still go out for a walk but thats pretty much it, the streets are very empty. The mainland (Portugal) took longer to act and theres already about 650 cases and 2 deaths and tonight at midnight they will activate the state of emergency.
I know this seems too far fetched, but do not ignore the numbers, both the UK and US arent taking this seriously enough, this will spread like wildfire, kill millions and our lives will only go back to normal in 6-12 months unless they find a miracle cure that is already in the market. Japan has discovered that Favipiravir helps quite a bit, and this has been around 2014, so it might be a solution since its already aproved, but we'll see.
