Meanwhile in Ohio, we’re scheduled to have our primary tomorrow but the governor is trying to postpone them but it’s not clear if he has that authority so we’re all waiting on a last minute court ruling to see if we all line up at polling places and give each other coronavirus tomorrow.

France should have but didn’t postpone an election yesterday. I would have had the vote if not for Brexit, so finally all that shite has come through for me.
(They ended up postponing the second round anyway, so it was extra pointless)
The more I read, the more I believe that given how this spreads through droplets, the best thing we could do right now to slow the spread would require everyone (whether symptomatic or not) to wear masks. Yet you can’t even find one in the country right now.
That rich Chinese guy is sending us some!
Damn here in the Netherlands the official policy is now ‘controlled exposure’ through the non-vulnerable part of the population, to achieve herd immunity in a couple of months.
Am I crazy for thinking this herd immunity theory is unscientific wish-thinking?
Edit: the measures are still rational, we are near a lock-down.
AKA the Suzzer plan!
Do you think the first thing he did when he got the results was tweet about it? Chances are his family already got it from him before he was tested.

Yeah, actually that’s exactly what I thought he did.
If it spreads asymptomatically then yeah they probably do have it.
Gotta say I’m feeling the stress today. Getting a bit overwhelmed.
Narrator: the public absolutely had no right to know.
What university are you at?
We haven’t received any message like that, but I’m guessing it will come.
I’ve been telling my supervisor that we were probably going to be “shut down sometime this month” at the beginning of March and he laughed at me.
They’re crazy if they think people are gonna pay $20 to watch some weird revenge fantasy movie
Cut down on your social activities for a while and keep calm.
Need the detail, but the Macron said they wouldn’t let any business go under and seemed to be effectively suspending business rents and loans. They have also already extended the period we have each winter where you can’t evict people for being behind on rent.
However, I just read we will literally have to download an official bit of paper saying why we’re outside (only for one of the official reasons), and will be fined if we can’t produce it / are taking the piss. The minister was asked if that was even for buying a baguette and he said yes. I get it, I guess, but that does sound alarming. French bureaucracy bloody loves bits of paper though, but rarely looks at them very closely.
Oh, and they’re going to vote what sounded a bit like a dictatorship, but I’m sure we can trust the guy. More details soon.
Do you have an ID card?
