LOCKED: Coronavirus

Really sucks for people in the service industry. 

I have a ton of friends....servers, bartenders, hotel workers. They all either got canned completely or shifts severely cut.

I've thought about this too. The small business loans don't mean much that they'll be available in the future when Restaurants and Bars can't pay the people for the current week. Like think about Augusta Georgia, which has nothing there besides hospitals and the Masters. They probably make over 20% of their revenue in that week or 2, and now they have no idea when it might be back.

The uber liberal obama surrogate and abortion proponent who somehow slinked her way into becoming Ohio director of Health, Dr. Amy Acton, shut down the primaries last night.

 

You forgot to add the "on behalf of the Republican governor of the state who set the 'shut down the primaries' concept into motion" part in your zeal to continue being the blindly partisan dipshit that you seem to wind up being on every single fucking topic.

Let's not forget that the Republican president appears to be treating it with a similar level of severity.

It’s pretty obvious who is running the show.  My comment had to do with providing color.

Take care.

Possible/confirmed case in Darke county of a 20yo kid just got back from Spring Break from Florida. Hopefully appropriate measures are being taken on him getting his ass kicked. 

Just got the call from my work that we will be alternating Wednesday shifts. We have 4 shifts, Sun-Wed AM(which I work) and PM and Wed-Sat AM and PM. So starting tomorrow my shifts gets to stay home and next week the other shifts stay home.

I doubt it. I think you were quite literal with your point. My dad shares a lot of you politics. He's spent the last three days railing about what an idiot DeWine is and how he's surrounded himself with crazy Obama liberals. But today his, and your, Dear Leader has commented that DeWine is going a great job and that he's a guy who "knows what he's doing".  He also said that if DeWine postponed the primary, then it was the right move. 

This must make you feel conflicted and scared.

If this shit is in Darke Co.  Ohio, its everywhere

Good website to track the cases.  Obviously with an increase in testing, known cases are rising.  Except the spiking appears to be mostly contained to CA and NY, so far (thousands more cases being monitored in those states).  Washington seems like they've kind of gotten it under control.  But probably still too early to draw these conclusions.

And the global tracker:

I've been using this Johns Hopkins site to track things:

Well, that's sort of the definition of a pandemic.

But I wouldn't correlate that with a high level of unknown or undiagnosed cases.  "Shit, if Tom Hanks has it then everyone probably does".  Except there are literally thousands of celebrities and athletes that could have been, and the handful of cases among that group is sort of the randomness you expect in the early stages of a spreading pandemic.  Tom Hanks and a few NBA players getting it doesn't mean even 1 in 100 people have it.   Based on current cases in the US, we're approaching 1 in 500 people have.  I don't think that's out-of-line with "notable" cases that have been reported.

Japanese man (in his 70's) who tested positive, who was on the Diamond Princess cruise in February, was confirmed negative in early March, caught it a second time upon returning home to Japan.

I was thinking that this is a rich persons disease.  It likely started because some rich Chinese guy needs to eat snake penis or bat testicles.  The virus went around in the rich circles and jet setters.  THats why it spread so fast, aslo celebs and pro athletes are more prone to being around international people.  Why do you think WV seems to be immune to it?

Feel free to move this to the NBA thread if needed...

I haven't seen it but apparently there's a video on FB of a bunch of savages ripping the toilet paper out of the plastic wrapping, while still on the pallet, before the guy can stock it, at Walmart.

That’s unbelievable. I thought that video would be over about 25 seconds sooner
