It's as if news reports out of Italy are not available and free to read by all.

It's easier to shove your thumbs in your ears and your tongue up Trump's ass and go with the Democrat Hoax Theory.

It's almost like they've been practicing this technique for three years now.

It's text book narcissism and its going to get people killed.

The only stat or fact I'll ever need to prove the seriousness of this bug has occurred in the past 24 hours. Ireland, which coincidentally happens to be chock full of Irishmen, HAVE FVCKING CLOSED ALL PUBS!

You can now be charged with manslaughter in Italy for evading or escaping quarantine. Austria has banned all groups larger than 5 people.
China could do what China did, because China.

We have the market corned on idiots with a microphone. Me thinks the bounds of American "freedom of speech" & "movement" and the "right" to peacefully assemble are going to be severely tested in the next couple of months.

All I know is that this virus is making the DS great again

“We have 12,700 ventilators available.”

97% of Chinese patients on ventilators died.


Read the analysis of the data from China . This Harvard MD interprets lancet and JAMA studies without political filter on Twitter.

DS has been pretty good ever since Hank left.

Not exactly shocked by this...Governor's office will announce that bars, restaurants, and entertainment facilities will close tomorrow.

Really? What about restaurants that also do take out?

Take out and delivery services are still good to go...just no dining in.

In some EU countries, it's delivery only. Grocery stores and pharmacies only. Everything else is shut down. No take out. Grocery stores are being managed to only allow a set number of people inside at any given time. I saw that a couple of US Costco's have now started to have law enforcement presence as a show of force and to maintain "order".

Here in WA, supposedly several mobile quarantine facilities have sprung up in the past 48 hours. There's supposed to be one on Aurora somewhere and one in Issaquah I've heard about. I say "supposedly" because it's second hand. Like I said earlier, they're looking at empty office buildings, stadiums etc. for triage centers.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a full US lockdown in the next 48 - 72 hours including air travel. I wouldn't be against that. Unverified whispers abound - so who really knows.

All I know is it's going to be a long couple of months.

Gonna be interesting to see how tribal casinos change their operation in the face of this virus threat. Last week a number of them offered increased sanitizing stations, encouraged players to wash their hands often and emphasized stepped up cleaning/disinfecting of their facilities. One cancelled all gaming promotions that would increase crowding. Another shut down its buffet.

Imagine they could ignore the emergency mandates from the state, and be the only game in town. Most of their daytime patrons are high risk elderly. It would be bad business to have them show up, get sick and die. These folks are gamblers, however, and they will likely "roll the dice" on the risk to their health and show up for Senior Monday, tomorrow.

"BINGO!!!" hack hack drops dead

Typical darkside, I ask a question and I get bashed.

Lol! Go back and read you post. It wasn’t really a question it was an, “I don’t know why were are freaking out because...”.

I didn't see any question, I saw a firm belief in shitt that will get you and others killed.

It's ok to not believe in science or the experts, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Do NOT get your information from Trump's press conferences, there are lots of actual experts out there talking about how to protect yourself and your family...and "I don't think it's a big deal" is probably the worst possible thing you could think right now.

Idiots like Evo telling you "the flu is worse!" are just that...idiots. Fuckin fools.

All of that dipshittery comes from the narrative that this is a plot to ruin the stock market so that Trump loses re-election and Socialism will take over the world...none of it comes from science, common sense, or any real source.

Yes. And as a result, I expect restaurants to close soon too.

Once that happens, the only place society can buy food is grocery stores.
And as in Italy, yes they will be open, but the social distancing requirements while you shop will mean they only allow people into stores in a slow trickle. That means there will be huge queues getting into stores to get what you want. Just like what is already happening in Italy.

So go get all the provisions you think you need now, today, for the long haul... so you dont have to wait in these lines and get sick in the coming months.

Its not panic buying, its buy to be prepared so you dont have to go out and endure your new grocery shopping experience and possibly get infected while doing it.

Looking at the latest math and graphs today is not a pretty sight....to put it mildly. Stay calm, but buckle up.

I'm just glad Frank isn't here to show us all of his charts, graphs, and expert analysis. He could atleast keep pace with Toff, which was nauseating.

I'm pretty sure Frank's theory is/was this will all blow over when the weather warms up 4 weeks from now...

In my county In California after tonight we are essentially in lock-down


In the six Bay Area counties, non-essential gatherings of any size are now banned, along with non-essential travel “on foot, bicycle, scooter, automobile or public transit.” People may travel for shopping for necessary supplies, accessing health care, and providing aid to family and friends who need assistance, and for non-residents, returning to their home outside the Bay Area. Airports, taxis, and public transit — including BART — will remain operational, but only for essential travel and people are expected to keep six feet apart when possible.

I guess I had better grab some chicken and veggies for when the [Bleeeeep!] goes down. I don't care about restaurants,but definitely gots ta have my chicken!
