Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

Just because there are only two confirmed cases doesn't mean there aren't "many" more. Testing simply isn't being done, despite lies about all the beautiful tests being available.

Last I heard 400 million people have died from the corona virus.

This song never been more real...

Fail un-funny shitposting to get post count up.

We've been stuck in te house for a week now. I had to stop working, my kids are at home. Yesterday they decided everyone has to stay at home as much as possible unlessyou have to go work or buy food, see a doc. Cant go in stores with more then 4 at once. Everything is closed cept pharmacists and food stores. 2 more weeks to go at best... but looks like it will go on longer.
Frontiers with germany, france and holland are closed, cops are making cars stop and sending people back home, checking if everyone in the car is in close family range.
Making jigsaws,gaming and renovating the house i guess...

Of course they are available. Politicians and celebrities have no problem getting tested. You and I? Not so much.

Other than drinking great beer, no.

I hope it's safe to make my lasagna tonight... I mean, with all the Italy virus thing I keep reading

NY in lockdown! Let me out!

Once upon a time, Italy only had 2 confirmed cases, now they have more than 40000 cases and adding 6000 more everyday. With death rate climbing up everyday too.

This mentality is exactly why this coronavirus never end despite governments put ***tons of effort to slow down the spread. Thanks people!

Virus is reported to be on the loose amount communities. You don't have to meet Chinese, Italians or Ship Riders to get it. You can get infected as long as you still have human contact.

Since they don't have enough testing kits, they just gonna ask you to stay home if you think you are infected unless your doctor order you to get a test asap.

So it's possible that you might be infected but you wouldn't know about it because you would only have very very mild symptoms.

Work policies:

1. No facial hair
2. No one besides upper most admin are allowed in my area
3. Temp is taken when I get to work, if 100.4+ get sent home
4. Specific questions are being read to callers if they demand a deputy be sent to them, otherwise, calls for service taken over the phone.

There will be more as this progresses. People aren't capable of refraining from doing piss-ignorant things even at Christmas or Thanksgiving, so I'm sure they'll not start (or stop) now.

Schools are closed, University is closed, students are being sent home, dorms to be cleared this week. Stores are finally limiting buying, parks and recs areas are shut down for events, still open to the public.

Shout out to all the dumb motherfu@%^rs out there, thanks for keeping me employed!

It isn't overly exaggerated.
This frustrates me.
People really dont understand what we are up against.
Schools are 4th or even 5th tier concerns right now.
If the global economy is a 2nd tier concern, you should all have some sense of just how severe this is.


If there is an illuminati and global elite of reptilians trying to reduce global population because we're all cattle to them, many of you are proving them right with how casual you're taking this all.

Do you understand what the cost to the economy is when they tell people to distance themselves socially, and work from home, issue 1,200 USD cheque per citizen, or gaurantee the entire workforce through subsidies?

Do you know what this means?
we're in the worst situation globally that we HAVE EVER BEEN.
That isn't sensationalism... People, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS, are going to die.
This Virus was forcasted to hit 1 Billion of the global population by May 5th BASED ON CHINA'S DATA!!
What that model didn't account for is absolute trivialization of the disease by the US for 3 months!

The BEST and most conservative death rate is 2%. But in Italy it is way higher than that.

That's not even talking about the long term complications that the disease will have survivor's health.

2% of 1 billion people are going to die...

The vaccine will take 12-18 months (at super aggressive corner cutting pace) to start production. It will take another 6-12 months to make it accessible to people.

If 1 billion people are infected by May (conservative), it will take 1 month for the rest of the world to get infected.

1 billion infected... think about what that is going to do to the supply chain globally??!!!

Food, materials, pharmaceuticals, energy, transport, EVERYTHING goes, everything crumbles.

What's going to happen when nations start starving?

This is it, people. wake the hell up. Are you all so socially programmed that you can't work it out?

Are you waiting for public officials to come out and plead with you? THEY HAVE, they've been pleading with you from the start.

Indeed.

The IMF and WTO are talking about this right now with all major central banks. They have the ability to bank roll the world for 18 months. but it won't be pretty.

All currencies collapse basically. We revert back to a commodities world where the currency has to have intrinsic value.

When people are trying to get basic materials to live such as food and medicine, digital and paper currency are worthless.

Also, quantitative easing 5 just happened, in a zero interest rate situation. how that plays out, with the dropping output in production = no one ever even considered modelling because it was never entertained as a plausible scenario.

It is funny how they give a freeze on mortgage payments when over 80% of NYers are renting and there has been no word on a rent freeze. These greedy people rubbing their hands thinking they still gonna get paid. I hope nobody pays anything for rent and let the landlords just go after the government. People keep saying just chill in your house! Look at this new trendy thing we made on youtube as we self-quarantine! Like its some kind of game, yet businesses are dying and the market is ***. I wonder how people are so optimistic when they are calling for 4~5 months of this stupid crap isolation, no work for that long?

They are doing it for profit, so I could honestly care less. They have price gouged the market and brought rent up to astronomical levels in comparison to what they paid for the buildings or apartments in the day. Let the government take care of the owners, everyone is suffering and it isn't fair that renters get the stick while the owners continue to make profit while they sit in China.
