Not only what's happening in Iran is shocking. In Spain too. And my guess that the numbers are yet to explode in the US, Germany and France. It's gonna be x3 quite fast.
After seeing what happened in Italy and France, Germans might act more responsibly and suffer less.

I don't know if the less congested and traveled south and Midwest USA will suffer less or not. Depends on how slow they are.

Cuomo saying we need double the amount of bed, we have 53,000 in total and 3,000 ICU. Christ.

New limits in place, only 50% or less of a company's workforce can meet in person. Trump heeding Cuomo's advice and sending the USNS Comfort to New York, it will take in non-infected patients to free up space in hospitals.

My roommate’s girlfriend works for one of the big labs, we’re both working from home. I’m listening to her conference call right now about how there isn’t enough material to complete tests and that lab Corp and quest also don’t have enough material or man power to test for the smaller labs....

I can’t help but think the president refusing those who tests is going to go down as one of the most catastrophically terrible decisions in US history.
President as in our dear leader orange Julius or CDC prez?

No worries, the super-genius in charge has the situation under control:

When Trump was rolling out CEOs a few days ago with the hope of shoring-up the stock market (that worked wonders, of course), I guess he forgot to invite the CEOs of Staples and Office Max.

If you would care for some sick comedy, try reading Breitbart - apparently, this is China and the Democrats fault. The dear leader is blameless.

One guy even went as far as blaming Bill Clinton's administration for all this mess.
No, thanks! I think I'd rather read one of Andy's posts.

Apparently floating hospital is undergoing repairs in Norfolk, and won’t set sail for weeks.

Representative Mario Diaz-Balart, republican from Florida, is the first congressman tested positive.

Same, bought no food or toilet paper, just booze. Felt like the most responsible person in line.
About as responsible as this mong:

Well done.

From a David Sinclair newsletter on the Chinese Virus:

- "Stanford on the front-lines predict: peak COVID-19 cases will not be until July 2020, with a total number of deaths in the USA ranging from 500,000 to 1 million."

- "If we had instituted a nationwide lockdown last week, we may have seen infections die down over the next 2 months"

- Reinfection extremely unlikely based on monkey studies

- "Fatality rates vacillate between 0.7% and 6% depending on the number of tests that are taken and the number of critical care units still available in the region. The R0, the number of people a carrier infects, is between 2 to 4. That means that for every 1 person that contracts the virus, 2 to 4 will become infected."

- "In the US, we expect a doubling of cases every six days. That means we are looking at about 1 million cases by the end of April. Then 2 million by May 7. Then 4 million by May 13."

- Healthcare workers and cashiers are most at risk. Also janitors. Loggers face the least risk in terms of contracting the virus. @Post Ironic

- "Somewhere between 33% and 75% of us will catch this disease, unless we can delay it until a vaccine trial is successful, which is another 18 months away, assuming it does work."

- "Genes 1 and 10 may inhibit oxygen uptake by attacking red blood cells. Genes 1 and 8 are two that are mutating. Usually, RNA viruses mutate themselves out of existence and I hope that’s true in this case."

I see all of this happening around me and I feel an overwhelming sense that I need to do something, but there's nothing that I can really do. It's so frustrating. It's not like a hurricane where you could physically help with cleanup or something, this is an invisible enemy that can't be killed conventionally. Mentally it really does something to you, it's unsettling. Nothing to do but wait it out and deal with the fallout whenever this ends, be it months or even years from now.

Exchange between the orange moron and the reporter around 9th min of the clip - that's what happens when you spend 90% of your time playing golf and the other 10% tweeting.
