  1. I’ll bet money that the number of cases between now and the 13 in Austin and Texas will make postponement the right choice. Either way, good luck to all. If the NorCal hospital is any indication, our fuck ups are gonna make this way worse than it should be
  2. that seems like an unwise position for them to take.
  3. so do they cancel south by? until when can they decide? right up to the 13th?
  4. pic? couldn't find it online besides the two videos on this page but they don't seem to be talking about ebola.
  5. Honestly don’t think Any of those Europe plans up thread Between now and this summer are gonna happen. Just saying. Hope I’m wrong
  6. Can someone please shut down this sock and keep this thread to actual news, questions, and updates?
  7. Disney plus the only place to watch it?
  8. I’d think the bigger worry is that you fly out and then your trip gets cut short or you have to scramble to fly back before flights are cut off, no?
  9. Fake Christian. What a terrible human being
  10. Interesting, sverige radio or 8 Sidor didn’t have anything and aftonbladet mentioned it happened but didn’t blame corona since they’ve been reporting staff shortages At that hospital for a while now. They did say it’s back to normal today though
  11. I’m more confused than upset. But depending on a response could go either way. Wtf?
  12. Surly response: so we don’t know shit yet Human response: cool, Various possibilities, thanks for posting. side note though: did not know that sars was viewed as so .. horrible? Deadly? Guess maybe we got lucky it wasn’t so virulent? Crazy world out there
  13. good. side note, so best case scenario is this is a more deadly flu (actual rate tbd but hopefully not that much higher)? you get it, self quarantine (more so than the flu cause you can actually kill people from it; yes people die from the flu but looking at the comparative odds and how a normal subway rider would view it), get professional/hospital help, then probably/hopefully recover? worst case is that ...well not sure. you get it, recover but more than likely kill your very old or very young relatives if you don't adequately self quarantine? die instead? or is it still tbd? i'm wondering b/c it seems if it is that lethal for olds and youngs, and its an annual thing here to stay, then there will be a cataclysmic change in american social interactions/culture. "got a cold, could be corona, not going anywhere for a fortnight, kids at a hotel". or will people just shrug and get used to it, running the russian roulette for their family members? starting to feel more like a 12 monkeys situation, except this is the appetizer, and if we don't wise up, we'll get hit with the real entree in a couple years that really collapses shit.
  14. True. Did he have an eye problem recently? Or is it just that his new prescription is not tv friendly?
  15. Yeah, to her credit, as soon as she told me and I responded, she realized it was bunk. Second, sorry, no pics, like having a gf. third, sorry to VAB, my response sounds harsher than I meant. It was more that I really don’t understand thAt line of thinking but tone was more so do to it reminding me of the gf’s old man’s truly “wtf” advice.
  16. Not hating but Honestly don’t get this line of thinking. They’re using masks cause they think YOU are foul, contaminated, or putting THEM at risk. Sick people are not wearing masks, healthy ones are! To pause at an “Asian Looking” person wearing a mask seems ... illogical. Reminds me of the irrational “logic” my gf received from her dad this wknd. We were upstate Visiting some friends a half hour east of Syracuse, and My gf’s father texted advising her to not eat Chinese food for a while just to be safe. Uhh. .. that’s moronic. One, food here in bumblefuck USA isn’t being sourced from China. Two, doubtful that many minimum wage mall workers in bumblefuck USA have enough scratch to visit China. Three, even if some workers throughout the country do somehow manage to save enough money to go to China every few years, odds that that worker just got back are remote as hell. I’d be more worried about getting hit by lightning.
  17. Where was that link? Went back a couple pages and couldn’t find it. I sorta remember reading that here but when I mentioned that at lunch, got shot down by someone else who googled links saying about a week was common for other corona viruses.
  18. If it isn’t a part of your job, That’s pretty pathetic and crazy to care THAT MUCH about another country’s politics.
  19. The you sound poor, rooting for an asteroid hit, or both?
  20. Native Spanish speaker but I duolingo learnt Swedish and Portuguese, so my English keyboard gets funky
  21. Really? People are fucking weird. What a dumb reason
  22. Ending of battle star galáctica?
  23. to be fair, if they meant Adonis Creed, you could argue he'd be a good 3rd or 4th place. Definitely top 5.
