Talking about what's happening now. Asians have to be extra cognizant around black people as they have been doing the higher profile harassments. I would recommend that all asian americans have a personal weapon on them at all times in public.

Whether it be a gun, mace, stun gun, knife, etc.

What are you carrying?

I love how you label it the "higher profile harassments," i.e. "the ones I've heard of from my not-at-all politically slanted twitter sources."

You definitely have to watch out for the higher-profile harassments. Lower-profile harrassments aren't too much of a concern.

I was harassed and threatened with assault on a bus by a homeless black man last year. The guy threatened to knock me out because I bumped into his foot by accident. I diffused the situation by walking away (he continued to follow me on the bus), but now I'm going to have a weapon on me to proactively end the situation.

This shit happens way more often than you think.

There's a large, homeless mentally unstable population here in LA, even in the nice areas. Not all of them are black, but a lot of them are. And they look/seem like they will be a problem.

In terms of total number infected... we really need to wait until we have readily available testing before we can say anything is going down. It's unfortunate...

No doubt, plus the percentage of deaths typically go down as the number of infected people go up which will likely mean deaths are going up. 3.4% of 1,000 infected people is 34 deaths but 1.27% of 10,000 people is 127. the percentage dropping was always likely to happen but so are the total number of deaths rising. The USA is still way behind in testing so we don't even really know how many are actually infected.

That's fine, I thought you were alleging that black people were currently targeting Asian Americans, not that you've had a potentially worrisome run-in with a black person before. I'm glad you were able to diffuse it.

I don't think black people are targeting asians. Its just that when asians have been harassed or assaulted, it seems to always be blacks doing it. Most have been in major metropolitan urban areas and public transit (I am not frequent on public transit, I was actually getting my brakes done and took a bus down the street to get a haircut when I got accosted). Add that with my personal experience, its smarter to be situationally aware.

I live in LA, there aren't a lot of "good ol boys" with confederate flags out where I am. If I was in Tennessee or some flyoverville, I'd be looking out for white people in lifted trucks

I live in an urban setting, so it is what it is.

Another consideration is the people at the grocery or out in public as panic settles in. Its smarter to have weapons on you in crazy times like this. As unemployment soars, there will be more property crime, carjackings, break ins, muggings, etc.

Some people are upset at the fact businesses are open like Home Depot. It's kinda hard to believe that they will slow the Coronavirus with keeping businesses open like they are. All it takes is a few morons and a few people. And Trump keeps on with his 15 day shit. Even Grocery stores and Pharmacy's but I get it. Not everyone does the online thing and people need there prescriptions and food.

I went to home Depot, Lowe's, and Walmart marketplace today.
 
Social worker, 39, who was 'in good health' is found dead by her boyfriend while awaiting coronavirus results after first turning test down to allow elderly to use them
  • Natasha Ott, 39, died inside her New Orleans home Friday, five days after taking a test for Covid-19
  • Ott first came down with mild cold symptoms on March 10, but turned down an available coronavirus test at her place of work, believing she was low-risk
  • Ott's symptoms worsened over the coming days, and she went on to take Covid-19 test after feeling feverish and fatigued
  • Ott texted her boyfriend last Friday, saying she felt 'a little better and hopeful'
  • She was found dead later that evening on her kitchen floor; her coronavirus test results are still pending
  • More than 25,000 Americans have tested positive to Covid-19, and 308 have died

Update: we have HCA. Now in 4th place behind China, Italy, and Spain. Passed Germany and Iran.
Spain is in our sights, possibly by tomorrow. China and Italy will be tougher but if we all band together we can defeat them.

Didn't even take a day. Now in 3rd place. We need to at least double to catch Italy, so that might take what, another 3 days? We are on a roll, baby!
