SARS-CoV-2: Electric Superflu

How do you forget the garlic?! I can picture myself weaving my way through enemy lines with bullets, exploding grenades, and shrapnel missing me by inches the entire way only to finally reach safety and realizing I forgot the damn garlic and turning back to do it all over again

I @ him in response to story I posted about landlords kicking nurses out of their homes.

I know what it is, that’s why it’s so depressing to see it actually happening due to a lack of resources is really sad. Like I knew it would, I mentally prepared for that news to come, but it’s still tremendously upsetting to be in that moment where it begins.

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I object to the banning. If we want to keep this a high-content information thread, then excise him and his enablers’ posts (including mine) but he hasn’t done anything to deserve a ban.

If we’re going to ban him we should just have a banner at login that says ‘no conservatives allowed’ and be done with it.

Ugh. Yesterday’s big number coming out of Washington may have been because of a backlog of tests, but 493 today sucks.

Yeah having right wing family members is tough right now. My dad is a huge Trump supporter. He’s super high risk just like my mom because he has a shit heart so luckily he has been taking this seriously, but somehow still thinks Trump is crushing it. Like how do you not see this mans incompetence has significantly increased your chance of dying, my moms chance of dying, and my sister who is a nurse practitioner who can’t get PPE chance of dying. I just wanna fucking scream at him but I know it won’t do no good so I just avoid politics around the derps.

And being a driver deserves plenty of respect. How many idiots would be out there driving around drunk as shit possibly killing themselves and innocent people if there weren’t people willing to put up with their insane bullshit and drive them home. Honestly the only thing I provide for society is taking money away from Trump supporters :rofl:

I think you should do something nice for yourself. Eat your fav meal tonight or one of them if your options are limited, go out for a walk if you can do it safely away from people, smoke a joint, eat a fat bowl of ice cream, and watch tiger king if you haven’t already :sunglasses:

Not gonna happen. We won’t even be near our peak in 2/4 weeks

I was amazed at what taxi/Uber/Limo drivers go thru for what I though was a lot more money than it is. It’s a tough fucking racket

Stay safe our there dude. I suppose people need rides and you’re doing a good service, but I’d strongly suggest self quarantine if you can afford to. Good luck!

If people really want him back, fine. But seriously I don’t see what he provides other than acting as a virtual punching bag.

He kept posting here despite multiple people asking him to knock it off.

I think we should start a “inso is a slumlord, ask him anything” thread and isolate him there. If he posts his garbage stuff elsewhere then ban him.

Of course he can post elsewhere. Just not on the shitty derail that everyone asked him to stop.

With the Czech Republic having a much greater testing capacity, they’ve now loosened the requirements to be eligible for a test. So long as you’re a healthcare worker or exhibit just one main symptom of coronavirus (a fever of higher than 37.5C (about 100F), dry cough, or shortness of breath), you can ask for a free test. This will likely lead to an uptick in daily cases as today will likely be the first day we’ll be over 300 new cases in a day. Perhaps finding milder cases will result in stopping the spread of the disease earlier than before.

The PM will request an extension of the state of emergency (here a SoE can only be called for 30 days and can only be extended by the Chamber of Deputies* with a simple majority afterwards). In all likelihood, there’ll be a one week extension of the lockdown. It’ll probably be extended on a weekly basis.

*Chamber of Deputies is the Czech equivalent of the House of Representatives.

USA#1 hit 100K cases. Don’t think I’m ponied here?

I should stop tracking this, it’s not good for my mental health. No sign of this slowing down at all in the US.

I don’t see any way the following re-open before a vaccine or herd immunity:

  1. Any kind of theater
  2. Live poker
  3. Gyms
  4. Nail salons
  5. Bars
  6. Sporting events, concerts, etc.

Basically anything where you’re spending more than an hour in close proximity to other people. Bonus for touching everything like gyms and poker.

I can see them at least trying to open up restaurants with half seating, outdoor seating, etc. But that might not work either.
