OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting (3 Viewers)

[Minstrel]

If things get bad, mass panic will sweep the nation. People will become animals. They will loot, assault, and kill. They think they can act without consequence. Look what happened during the Rodney King riots. Korean store owners got guns and used them against rioters because the police abandoned them.

I absolutely support the use of lethal force to protect yourself in the worst case scenario.

I do not trust the government or the police to protect the public. Look what happens when there is a protest. This will be much worse.

It will be a situation of kill or be killed.

I don't think we're headed for a apocalyptic dystopian nightmare.

I mean, Obama isn't President anymore, after all.

Another NBA players tests positive.

You know, I am not sure we have all, myself included, really wrapped our heads around this. We aren't talking about a few weeks inconvenience.

The actual experts are talking of millions getting sick and massive economic dislocation. I honestly don't know what the new normal will be.

I do think states should take action now for November election to be entirely by mail.

The story behind ‘flatten the curve,’ the defining chart of the coronavirus

What can I say? Things are being impacted obviously. Not because people are sick, because people are watching the news and acting like the zombie apocalypse is here.

My wife's hair salons are slow, some of her clients at the gym are cancelling their workouts.....

The roads are still packed and people keep wrecking their cars so I'm going to stay busy. We did have a meeting at work and they told us we have to stay home if we get sick and if we have the virus we have to stay home for two weeks.

The funny thing is that my brother's wife is a teacher in Washington. They cancelled school for now. Good job dummies, wonder how many poor working people are going to have to use their parents as daycare?

Yep, they'll probably make more elderly people sick this way.

I never get sick so if I think I'm dying I'll report back if I can.

Oh yeah, I have wicked allergies this time of year so I sneeze all day long. Run!

Parents will be able to stay home with their children sent home because of school closures via a new federal law passed overwhelmingly in the House and soon to be passed by the Senate and signed by the President.
Having schools close is a recommendation of the CDC who seem to know something about the subject. Better to inconvenience some parents than to spread a deadly disease that's going to kill a lot of people.

Does this simplified graph really need explaining? Good Lord, might as well teach people to play with blocks.

You'd think that with so few people flying it might be safer than ever.

Is your home also a liberal cesspool?

I have two public-school-educated teenagers, so...close.

I hope you disinfected the case of that disinfectant spray bottle after you touched it with your bare Wuhan fingers.

I'm trained in sterile technique.

Getting your tubes tied does not count.

Just passing on a survival tip.

If you can not find hand sanitizer in the stores, or, run out. Some household products with a high alcohol content can be used.

One example being overlooked is some of the vanilla extracts. However, there is a side effect. You will smell like cupcakes.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Go to boutique pharmacies in rich neighborhoods. Found some Hibiclens on friday in Beverly Hills.

I love cupcakes. This sounds astounding. What happens when I take a bite of my hand and I don't run into that rich buttercream frosting?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

They banned large gatherings, unless you’re plundering stores, or apparently at o’hare.

Although everything I had scheduled was cancelled, I did get my hair done, so I will have good hair for my dinner date with Lucia.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Sounds like the airport in Seoul when I first went there in 1980 except they gouged me for graft money before I could collect my bags.

So a good friend and ex-coworker of mine has been in Europe, Rome 3 weeks ago, Paris this week and was going to Ireland for St. Patricks day, he’s in his mid 70’s and last I heard friday, was completely unsure on if he was going to make it home or not. Scary thing is he gets sick all the time. So Im fairly worried about him. I hope he has made it back and is in one of those crazy lines...

When we run out of toilet paper, and with each passing day that looks more and more likely, I'll try anything.
Tell me, based on your experience, does it work?
