a dude in his 30s here in NYC is in serious condition. new rochelle, a town just north of the city, is quarantined. guy who lives there worked in midtown (times square/broadway theaters/super tourist-y stuff). not great!

i work in a pharmacy and it's been a disaster. sold out of toilet paper, cold/cough medicine, thermometers, facemasks, soap, hand sanitizer, and now people are trying to hoard meds and just pay out of pocket for them.

our idiot president just said cargo from europe is banned which is gonna inflame the hoarders even more (even tho his staff clarified cargo from EU isn't banned) and that all covid-19 treatments would have co-payments waived (a lobbyist for insurance companies said this was false - only tests would have fees waved, not treatments). dow futures is plummeting. worst week since the 2008 crash.

anyway this is twice as contagious as swine flu and way, way deadlier than the regular flu. america has the lowest amount of tests per capita of any nation on earth (5 out of every million people tested). we are woefully unprepared. and it is only going to get worse over the next month or so. best of luck to everyone!

looking forward to the draft being a digital event! draft kinlaw!

You mean all the Bernie and Biden supporters. Stupid people are going to panic.

Big woop. How many does the flu kill every year?

Been watching too much CNN there bud. The flu kills more young people than corona yet we don't shut down schools for that. 

Where do you guys get your information. This country has a reporting problem, spreading lies and propaganda.

I said earlier that I hope the big take away of this whole thing will be increased acceptance of working remotely.

I lied. That would be nice, but I truly hope the big takeaway from this is the realization of the dangers of politicizing EVERYTHING. Science is one of the key things that shouldn't be politicized.
