How are things going? 21 people have died. Those three states have probably seen triple that number die from sniffing glue since March 1.

NYC is our Wuhan province. Take the money from the Mexican wall and go full Escape From New York on them. We'll even send the President back home, a la Donald Pleasence, then shoot Kepler into the city in a couple of years to check up on them.

Call me Snake.

I was told by our friends on the Right that it isnt a bad thing to call it the Chinese Virus or whatever...it is just proper messaging.

Doesnt matter anyways...it is all a hoax and we are all panicking because the media is overblowing all of this!

My wife and I were talking about this a few days ago. She thinks this could last a year. I said even if the experts recommend it, there's no way the population lets it go that long. This ends the second football season starts in the fall at the latest.

It'll be over by Memorial Day at the absolute latest. The knucks are already triggered about big gubmint libruls trying to cancel Zombie Jesus Day, but they'll be d@mned if we interfere with their 'Murica BBQing.

As has Mass. Don't know about the enforcement procedures.

My son lives on Nantucket, and they have ordered "Shelter at home" effective 5:00 tonight. Fortunately, he has a job where he can work from home. Big influx of "seasonal" people in the last week or so, although ferries have reduced service dramatically. Not exactly easy to restock the 2 Stop and Shops that are on island.

Didn’t you know, the private sector is gonna solve this by then

It took manufacturers something like three years to convert over for WWII.

We don't have 3 years (I don't think it would take half that amount of time) but until the Trump administration authorizes it we're going nowhere. He's already talking about laxing things after the initial 15-day slow down.

The look the other way attitude you have towards this administration is mind boggling.

People going to seasonal homes is so stupid. Those hospitals won’t be able to cope much less the stores

Trump's Surgeon General Obviously Doesnt Know About the Diamond Princess and China Datapoints!

Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams warned Monday that the coronavirus outbreak will worsen this week and said that people across the country are not taking the threat seriously enough.

“I want America to understand this week, it's going to get bad,” Adams said in an interview on the “TODAY” show.

The disease is spreading, he said, because many people — especially young people — are not abiding by guidance to stay at home and practice social distancing.

“Right now, there are not enough people out there who are taking this seriously,” he said.

“The other important point is that we're not going to ventilator our way out of this problem. We're not going to treat our way out of this problem,” he said. “The way you stop the spread of an infectious disease like this is with mitigation measures and preventing people from getting it in the first place.”

Man I wonder how much they paid him to be part of THE HOAX!!!1

Meanwhile the other thread has posters accusing us of acting bummed every time a treatment looks promising

“ Nigerian health officials have just issued a warning about chloroquine, an antimalarial drug President Trump has repeatedly touted as a possible coronavirus treatment, saying three people have overdosed on it. Officials say Trump’s comments on the drug have caused demand to surge and prices of the drug increased in the area by 400% even as there is no hard evidence chloroquine treats coronavirus.”

Yeah, it's astonishingly stupid. Those places are soooo not equipped to deal with any kind of stresses. And not just hospital, but the overall infrastructure, supply chains, etc. It's only a matter of time before small remote stores get cut off because food and supplies need to be delivered to the dense masses of the people where the demand is high.

Which is funny that he's saying this because a couple days ago he sounded like a complete sycophantic idiot.

I would say it's great that we can cull the stupids on Memorial Day but we'll all be dead on May Day anyway.

Re: Covfefe-19 - Part 4- Stay the **** Home

It strikes me that the worst thing that can happen with all of this is either death on a massive scale or death on a small scale.

Based on today's population the 1918-1919 flu pandemic would kill 2,250,000 people now, and 2 + million deaths will be devastating in any number of ways, most of them obvious.

But because so many Americans are so god-awful stupid, if we actually save most of the people who would otherwise get very sick or die too many people would not take it seriously and would refuse to see how strict social distancing measures helped. They'd just say it was all a giant nothingburger, and I fear we'd be right back where we were 6 weeks ago, where nobody was thinking about a global pandemic that might kill millions of Americans or tens of millions world-wide.

Obviously I would like to believe things will be nowhere near as bad as the smart people who actually know what they are doing fear they might be. At the very least that buys us time to change our ways and better prepare for something like this.

But sadly, the best way to effectively prepare for a pandemic like this is to completely remove the profit motive from medicine. There is no profit in having all the equipment sitting in warehouses that we may need once a generation or once a century to treat a million or two more people than we would normally treat in a given month. Or to have hospitals that routinely are half empty because they have so many ICU beds available just waiting on a pandemic. If that doesn't change our only hope to combat a pandemic is to shut down.

Northern MN is begging the Twin Cidiots to stay home. I get the reasoning for going to the seasonal cabins/homes/etc (more isolated) but as you said, the system cannot handle that influx if something bad occurs.

If we were mature we could make there be a profit there.

I'm not one to save capitalism, but all we need is a government contract to keep pandemic emergency supplies and facilities in shipshape, exactly as we maintain a military arsenal. Now, in practice this would immediately become an enormous corrupt boondoggle without oversight and with politicians (certainly Republicans but maybe even some Democrats) ripping us off for briber, er, donors who deliver no value. Cough, defense contracts, uncough.

But, if we were mature, and if we didn't promote and elect sociopaths who would bill for nothing, we could do it right and still have a private, for profit system.
