Info regarding this outbreak.

[line-em-up]

Because of the magnitude of the issue we're facing, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but if they think they will make this a regular practice, then people will start dying of lead poisoning because I won't play their games. I'll see what they do as far as enacting laws before I get too bent out of shape over it..

So... who thinks the CDC is going to grow much larger, and much more powerful after all this? Government always uses any excuse to get bigger.

It does all feel very Orwellian. Gov’t only grows. That’s for certain. You ever see it shrink or laws / regulations removed or deleted?

That sucks I'm sorry and I know it's not the same pay but file for unemployment immediately. If you tell them that the corona was a factor they will fast track your unemployment and you want miss a paycheck. My wife works at a hotel and resort and they have already cut almost everyone and they called a meeting for the remainder of the people and told them that they already have all their paperwork ready to go for unemployment if they have to close up shop for a while and told them they wouldn't miss a paycheck.

Thanks for the advice. I plan on filing ASAP online. Still waiting on my paper work so I can apply since the process does not start till 3/29 (from my understanding)

Just found out, I am looking at over 100 days unpaid. Everyone was just furloughed in my dept. The travel industry has taken a major hit and of course that is where I WAS working. This completely sucks because I am close to living paycheck to paycheck, UGH. Can not even imagine this would ever happen. Hope this mess is over soon. This whole toilet paper craze and almost zero food in the super markets seems to have everyone worried.

I feel bad for my next door neighbor. She has like 3 to 4 signs on her door warning to stay away because of the Corona Virus. She is elderly and has pre existing conditions. Just saw the apartment complex threatening to kick her out because she clogged the sewer pipes because she is scared to leave her apartment or interact with anyone. Just flushing anything and everything down the toilets instead of taking it to the trash can or have someone do it for her. Plenty of people have volunteer but the pure fear has got her. Crazy world we live in.

trying to find this elsewhere to corroborate, however its interesting that they're now saying they overestimated the mortality by a couple of orders of magnitude.

Neil Ferguson sucks more than Steve Bartman.

I love it. Someone’s “prediction” had to be revised after the fact. Sounds a lot like these people have a lot in common with the global warming folks.

Saw that elsewhere this morning.
Cliffs Notes for others... The study that said UK would see 500k deaths has been revised by the author down to 20k deaths.

I now have to carry paperwork with me to allow me to travel to work and back saying I'm an "essential employee". This shit is crazy.

I wrote up a writ of habeas corpus for myself on Sunday in the hope someone would try to pull me over and cite me. As it turns out the CDC considers Pool Service part of the critical infrastructure services so it doesn't look like I'm going to have any fun.

How do we get from 23k to 16MM, when places like South Korea are already slowing substantially?
