Put them in a shipping container and shoot it into the sun.

 

Even cheaper. Ship it to north Korea with spray painted "CoViD" and "FrOm RusSiA" .. Fuck 'em for all the trolls I'm sure they used convincing China and Iran that we did this

Hell, why does anyone do any cruise?  Seems every year there's a story or two about some Norwegian rat virus or whatnot causing a massive shit and vomit attack amongst all the passengers.

Eating, sleeping, shitting, puking, fucking on a moist floating toilet ... how does that ever go wrong?

Only if you got the yellow fever.  I know I’m guilty

I’ll buy your tickets for 1k each right now 

I’ve been eyeing the price drop for additional days on stubhub. They’re only down about 5% from a couple weeks ago.

Rib works for hhs/texas, claims confirmed cases in travis county./csb

Not sure why its not been released or just stupid shit wives say

Had someone I know tonight tell me their boss was called In for further testing tomorrow. And FML, fuckers run a brewery. 

Just passing on what others have said. Lots of rumors. and that is all they are. I guess. Or we all die and Aggy gets to actually say WRTS.

I think stuff is starting to leak, regardless of what city leaders want.   I heard about the Fort Bend case about an hour before it dropped.  

We have friends who teach in elementary schools there, and I just talked to them, and their attitude is “please let’s get to spring break and the district is going to clean the hell out of everything and the week will help us out”.

And as pointed out earlier, everyone travels, come back to schools and same ass grimy places. Rumors are rumors, but sometimes good sources are the key. I like and trust mine. Expect he will get back to me on Friday with the results. Unless HE is dead.

I’m interested in seeing what they do about schools. I’m assuming we’re going to see cancellations and closures within a month or so. Too bad they couldn’t make it all the way to summer first.

After watching that press conference, I’m wondering how much info Adler and Co. will actually release.  Some of it’s going to have to be dragged out in FOI requests.

We fly from Chicago to San Jose, Costa Rica on 3/22, then back to states 3/28.  What is the likelihood we hit any travel snags b/c of this thing?  I have not paid attention to any of it even slightly. 

Travel snags? There probably won’t be any. You’ll have a half deserted airplane to fly in too.

Youll also probably get sick and die.

I’d be more worried about Costa Rica barring you from entry than anything in the states.   At the least, they’ll be doing temp checks.

Meh, they are just betting the homeless are illiterate. Damn man, have faith in the City leadership. 

Oh, but the lawsuits would be gorgeous. Surly legal gang could clean up.

If there are long-term closures, we will see school coming back in the summer.  There’s no way they are going to advance kids who miss that much school.   My guess is they close for 2-3 weeks, month at the most, deep clean, bring the kids back, and do temp checks on every kid every day.   My son’s school already does a lot of checks for fevers for kids who appear to be sick (flu) - way too many parents were dropping kids off that were sick, which makes other kids/parents sick, etc..  I think they were even doing trials for telemedicine stuff right there in the school clinic.  

Hell, they may try and do some online education stuff, given how many apps and whatnot they are using these days.

Heard from someone who is in the know that there’s a confirmed case at Brackenridge. It hasn’t been made public yet.

Hahahahaha. Holy shit. That’s 3 of 10. We’re going to hit 10 out of 10 by this time tomorrow.

Eh, Costa Rica has an extremely large Chinese presence politically, economically, and in tourism. I’d bet corona is already there. Tourism is Costa Rica’s largest industry and if they start denying entry to U.S. citizens that means shit has really hit the fan. All that said, I’d be shocked if they could coordinate even a temp check deal in less than a few months. It takes forever to get anything done there.

Chicago said no more counting attendance. Get the kids online, figure out a way to take care of those who do not have access to internet, and just relax on attendance. 

Daughter is a Senior (picture already provided, go find it pervs) and this morning the attendance at her school was pretty damn low. We did get an email over the weekend about potential contagion, but fuck, there was no one there.

It's the Daily Mail, so may or may not be true:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8075633/First-British-victim-25-describes-coronavirus.html

What it's REALLY like to catch coronavirus: First British victim, 25, describes how 'worst disease he ever had' left him sweating, shivering, and struggling to breathe as his eyes burned and bones ached

Connor Reed, 25, an expat teacher from North Wales, lives and works in Wuhan

In November, he became the first British man to catch the deadly coronavirus  

Here he explains how he beat the illness that is sweeping across the globe

 

24 days to recover, but the idiot didn't take the medicine prescribed.

OK, the being only 25 and struggling to breathe part scares the shit out of me.  I may have to wear a hazmat suit on my plane to Philly next week.

Surly folks know a lot of other folks.  Does anyone know anyone yet with the virus?

Junior  Miller heard from a brain surgeon friend of his that indeed his whole family has it and Junior is the only one who doesn't, and Junior doesn't even eat Asian food so he's wondering how it's even possible.
