@TimStone i suppose the quarantines and the deaths weren't warning enough huh

though i wonder if any of the news networks Trump watches was reporting on it. because it would be sad if everyone else in the world got prior warning except Trump because he just watched Fox News and they thought it was a Democrat Hoax and didn't report on it

@TimStone well yeh they did cover it up and that's bad but causing a global pandemic is a bit of a stretch

@TimStone do we know how North Korea was hit bu COVID-19? because i can imagine the death toll being way higher than Italy because of how poor most of the country is outside Pyongyang but at the same time, North Korea from my understanding is quite isolated in terms of tourism or even immigration from it's border neighbours so it might be way less?

According to the increasing rate of the umber of positives, politico.com/interactives/2020/…

NJ is the worst

followed by AL, MD, DL, OH

Fl is surprising, given the attention that it has received lately

Or do I read the graphs correctly?

The vertical axis has dfferent scale for different state.

Restaurants, pubs, gyms and entertainment venues are among businesses expected to close across New South Wales and Victoria over the next two days.

dam, i was thinking about ordering BBQ Chicken Wings tomorrow

also mentioned in the article but not in the tweet is that the Victorian School Holidays are being to be brought up

honest that feels like they are trying to close schools down without actually saying they are. school holidays are only 2 weeks and i doubt the situation will get better before that

So, I will admit I was wrong a while back about China not being able to handle Coronavirus

China is, in fact, as awesome as hoped

unless someone wants to try the circular logic of "China bad because they lie, China lie because they bad"?

@Studoku-ReinstateMonica China has a history of lying, to their population and the world

As opposed to ________

Even if you apply all the Sinophobia and circular logic you can think of, even if you get all your facts from China from sources with an agenda, at least they're not encouraging the virus to spread

@Studoku-ReinstateMonica they may have gotten it under control now (assuming the numbers are correct, i will always have my doubts about numbers from the Chinese Government) but they could have done it sooner has they not tried to cover it up in the first place

B.C. couple who bought entire store's meat section says they're living in fear now

lol fuck you

I don't want to watch the video to anger myself, but supposedly they straight up shove people out of the way and laugh at them so no one else could get any meat.

They should live in fear

Does the video include their address?

I too believe Bernie and his supporters (of which I am) are vilified.

It is not okay to look down upon others and dismiss them and trash them.

I came up with some bully relationships: The president <-> some people -> Bernie "bros"

I was triggered by some news/interviews/ some people that I don't dare to defy

@Studoku-ReinstateMonica there was that doctor that tried to warn people about it and then they questioned and tried to stop

The early spread is the Chinese government's fault for suppressing information from people like him

NS declares state of emergency cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/…

@Studoku-ReinstateMonica my problems are with the Chinese government because they have massive censorship, essentially one party that controls the government, and some really horrible policies like in Xinjiang. The current measures for the suppression of the virus are effective and I think we should have them here in some places tbh

> Nova Scotia declares a state of emergency Sunday morning, limiting gatherings to no more than 5 people.

did anyone post that thing about the one lawyer who infected like 50 people?

in New Rochelle

I haven't heard of it at least. Also cc @MBraedley on above article

> More than 50 cases traced back to New Rochelle attorney

pretty crazy how much it can spread

@Wipqozn Without clicking the link, I thought their food was contaminated by the virus.

I thought they were victims of the store

I thought they were doing some food business

> Ohio pharmacy board taking action to address Ohio doctors hoarding coronavirus prescriptions for themselves and friends. Some physicians apparently are even lying to get the drug that lupus and rheumatoid arthritis sufferers need

Rep Mark DeSaulnier D-CA, is in critical condition with (non-Covid) pneumonia

:/

Many people have black circles around their eyes. In many news pictures Trump has white circles. Is it because he tanned himself?

Cuomo calls on the federal government to nationalize the medical supply chain using the DPA

> Barr to Ask Congress to Indefinitely Suspend Habeas Corpus during Coronavirus Pandemic

> Disturbance: 10120 California St., The Cheesecake Factory, cleaning crew states a woman is hitting the windows with a golf club and is trying to get in

Oh no the Karens have gone violent and will get to the manager at any cost

> House Speaker Pelosi says no deal has been reached on an emergency stimulus bill and that the House will introduce its own bill

Glad there's no urgency here

@TimStone Can't they just vote the virus away? Maybe they could ask it to leave with their free speech.

Czy jesteście gotowi na GRARANTANNĘ?

If you could read Polish than I guess that would say something like "Polish Government launches a public Minecraft server to encourage teenagers to stay home"

Rand Paul has it

remember when he was the only person to slow down one of the bills with an amendment that nobody else wanted?

@Wipqozn The last few years have produced so many headlines that would seriously confuse any time travellers, or people waking from a coma

> rand paul using the senate gym and pool despite knowing he might have coronavirus is a clue in the mystery of why his neighbor whipped his ass

🤷‍♂️

> Fed's Bullard says U.S. unemployment rate may hit 30% in the second quarter

Holy shit

And yet... Somehow I don't think this'll be enough to take down tRUmp. His supporters will blame the tanking economy on the Coronavirus and ignore his complete mismanagement of the epidemic

@Nzall I mean, to be fair Covid-19 is playing a large role in the tanking economy. It be happening even without trump.

@Wipqozn yeah, but for a president who ran on a platform of reshoring jobs, giving back jobs to American citizens and other ostensibly economic policies, having booked literally negative progress since your inauguration on both stock exchange and jobs market should be political death

when the disease is under control, will job market be back soon?

I know the economy will take some time to recover, but how about the job market?

will tech/internet companies be able to have incentives to hire more people soon after the disease is over or under control?

@Tim tech companies are actually least hit because they usually already have WFH policies

> ESPN announces it is turning ESPN2 into “ESPN 8: The Ocho” this Sunday. Sports include death diving, cup stacking, stone skipping and cherry pit spitting

@Nzall Someone might be misleading then. He worked as a software engineer in an ad tech company, and said they were worrying if they still had their jobs in 6 months. I don't trust him completely because he is one of the elites who looks down on me and tell minor lies and excuses.

But I still try to understand him to my best every time

I can imagine, if their company loses clients who want advertising, it is possible that their company may face problems. But whether that is existential, I don't know

"works"

@TimStone To add to that

3/16: ron paul publishes article calling corona a hoax; 3/22: ron paul's son tests positive for corona

Former Congressman Ron Paul was a medical doctor.

holy fuck. A verified comedian just changed his Twitter username to the exact same as Joe Biden's Twitter account and tweeted he's dropping out and endorsing Bernie Sanders because he died

that's, like... not funny dude

Who?

twitter.com/BRANDONWARDELL/status/1241845626091917313

It's funny to see how Trump schedules his pressers for 3 PM, then has the press wait half an hour so it doesn't actually start until 3:30, so that when he starts answering journalist questions the stocks have already closed

@Nzall A more sophisticated word is incapacitated

I was wondering why New Jersey is the second if not the most severely infected state?

Is it because of the public health, population, or something else?

@Nzall it's a better "immediately lose blue check" bit than "italian elon musk" was

> He says he got caught up in the anxiety most people are feeling about the coronavirus and made the large purchase for his own family.

yes, that's the reason to buy more meat than you'll need to eat and risk spoiling the rest

> My own mother is ashamed of me."

> Marcotte has a big heart and has used his Dan-Mel moving company to help others in the past, giving his moving services away free of charge to help those in need during the 2017 and 2018 wildfire seasons.

i suspect that someone may have recognized them in the video and posted their business details. there may have been some doxing involved too

@TimStone i was more thinking of someone desperate to horde cheese cake

@Nzall only now they are being extremely tested because the idea wasn't to have everyone work from home. here we use Cirtix and we've ran out of sessions so the client is rolling out a new system to ease the demand on the current system

@Nzall i find that it's weird you can change usernames on any platform
