SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

Went out for the first time in a week. It was one of the most eerie situations I have ever seen. Downtown Indy was mostly desolate except for all the homeless who had basically taken over the nice park areas of downtown. I’m right by Eli Lily’s offices and they had a drive up line of testing for medical workers only. I will not be going out again for awhile. Stressed me the fuck out.

Yes it seems like that old folks home getting wiped out served to give WA an early heads up.

Inslee is going to address the state at 5:30PT today.

Florida wants anyone traveling from New York or New Jersey to self quarantine for two weeks upon arrival in Florida. Not sure how they would enforce that.

Grunching. Red states are also hotter and less densely populated. So they could weather this better by pure dumb luck.

So this is how this is going to play out, in 7 days trump is going to start pushing states to reopen, governors like cuomo from blue states are going to tell him to fuck off. Red state herp a derps will reopen. Then all the magaderps in red states are gonna die to own the libs.

They should make sure to die before the census, if that is their plan.

Some of them probably also have less hospitals and ventilators. A big flaw in the thought process of all those rich tards hiding out in say rural Idaho.

They’ll check Florida passports at the border.

Just an excuse to post my favorite SNL sketch of all time

Yea my sisters are both hospital pharmacists. One is at a smaller hospital. One doctor came in and tried to take the whole hospitals supply with one script last week. They gave him 1/3 of their whole supply. This has been rampant everywhere. A few states mostly put a stop to it this weekend by not allowing prophylaxis scripts for them. The bad actors will probably still write scripts for fake rheumatoid arthritis or something. They have already hoarded away enough supply of these already low supply drugs that even if they do work, they aren’t going to be widely available. Unless you find one of these asshole doctors and buy on the black market.

Did your correspondence with @anon38180840 amount to anything?

He actually messes his hair up before he goes on camera. I’m not kidding. It’s part of his act.

I think it was NYT that did a piece on him a year or so ago. Or maybe it was last month???

He’s going to announce an end to social distancing in like a week.

People are saying that nothing like this has ever been seen or done before.

Wow, I can’t believe they’re saying that!

No, my sister wasn’t willing to go on record because of fear of losing her job, so we just kind of dropped it. There was a Washington Post article a few days later about the general idea, though it was friendlier to the doctors than it should have been.

Literally any other candidate who was running in 2016 would have handled this better:

Y’all: my favorite infectious disease podcast just released a six-part series on COVID-19. I’m pretty sure this will be a must-listen series for people in this thread. The hosts are extremely needy and well-informed on the topic and they’re not afraid to get into the weeds and give you all the sciencey details.

Fuck these GOP clowns. They knew this pandemic was coming before they voted on impeachment.

Rand Paul was running in 2016.
