    They have it.  They probably just don't have the kits to test for it or they are waiting for results.  This thing is in all 50 states--guaranteed.

    I'm worried about those in Puerto Rico. 

    Unquestionably.

    I'm sure that this article has been posted, probably multiple times but it is a must read imo:

  2. Columbus is building a coronavirus triage center at the Ohio state fairgrounds.  The major cities in Ohio now have drive through coronavirus testing. The Cleveland Clinic will soon have an expedited test available.  Ohio State was one of the first major universities to cancel classes.  The governor of Ohio issued an order prohibiting mass gatherings, including all indoor sporting events.

    Ohio of all places appears to be relatively proactive so far and its actions underscore the need for state and local governments to take the lead on this.  Relying on the feds is clearly a waste of precious time.

  3. Every event of any significance after this weekend will be cancelled and almost every event this weekend will be cancelled.

    My country club just cancelled its annual spring break party and the local school district just cancelled the annual pancake breakfast fundraiser and there are zero confirmed cases in my city.

    All school nationwide will be cancelled within two weeks and all workplaces that don't require in-person attendance to function will be cleared out by April.

    The decision makers finally understand that they are in the kill zone demo and are starting to cover their asses.

     

  4. Rogan had epidemiologist Michael Osterholm on today:

    Main takeaways:

    1.  Hand washing and sanitizer won't do much against Corona because the main transmission is simply breathing the air that an infected person is breathing.  Not their cough or sneezing.  Simply the same air.  n95s do work but there aren't any, even for health care workers.

    2.  There is nothing you can really do to prepare yourself other than sleep and stay in good shape.  Americans are going to be particularly fucked because of the levels of obesity.  There are many people in their 40s who are getting extremely sick so its not just a problem for the very old.

    3.  Next 4 months are going to be very difficult in the United States.  He anticipates 500,000 deaths in the U.S. during that time.

    4.  Cancelling school is almost a non-starter because of the number of nurses who have kids in school.

    You’re talking about a nation of people that will send their sick kids to school when they can’t get a babysitter.  

    Which is EXACTLY why a quarantine makes sense. Parents know there will be sick kids at school and will not want to send theirs.

    Yeah.  The parents will also be at home.  The U.S. will be on lock down in April

    No need to blame the olds only on twitter for sucking. We should blame them everywhere.

    I think the boomers actually invented this approach.  Can't wait until this young generation's cocaine decade

    It would appear to be over.

     

    Probably 60-40 when you remove CA

    also, your generation should vote

    Exactly.  Wouldn't it be easier to get people who already agree with you to vote than it would be to change the minds of the olds?

    I guess it is even easier to just blame the olds via twitter.
