"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will start adding fresh capital to money markets on Thursday to pad against coronavirus risks and ease stresses on the Treasury bill market.

The extraordinary funding measure will first involve a $500 billion injection at 1:30 p.m. ET Thursday, the bank said in a Thursday Statement. The cash will be added to money markets through a three-month market repurchase agreement, or repo, operation. One-month and three-month repos for $500 billion each will be conducted on Friday and continue to be offered weekly through the calendar month, the bank added.

The central bank will also expand its $60 billion reserve management purchases to buy up "a range of maturities" roughly matching that seen in Treasury assets outstanding. Securities targeted include Treasury bills, floating rate notes, and nominal coupons. The first such purchase will begin Friday, according to the bank."

We have no Lysol or equivalent in Eastern Europe.

Closest is bleach spray. But it will really damage clothing.

What about isopropyl alcohol etc? No way eastern Europe doesn't have nearly 99% alcohol everywhere. Plus Lysol has bleaching agents in it anyway.

Going out masked for the first time today, the roomie has a doc appointment so I gave him one of my 95's for the occasion. Put his initials in and everything, Want to tell ours apart, lol.. .Crazy times. After today we're hunkering down for awhile. Then I can just sit here and hit F5 until my brain explodes like Scanners.

I was thinking Listerine in a mister might work too. Tons of alchol and germicide, but no bleach...?

Shit is getting real in bong land

Twitter

Anywhere between 5,000 and 10,000 already infected.

 

[Non-Expert!]

Private rant here ...

At a children's physical therapy clinic. (Mission non-essential). 2.5 year old running around here with a deep, dry, barky cough.

Mom is sitting in the waiting room with a face-mask on, while dad surfs the web.

I am so pregnant, it is like I am wearing a basket ball in front.

LA County. Humid rainy conditions, ideal for viral spread.

Kid coughed in my face.

Feel like crying and shouting in rage at the same time.

"A Chinese government spokesman said Thursday that "it might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan," pushing one of several popular coronavirus conspiracy theories in China.

Zhao Lijian, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, called attention to the admission Wednesday by Robert Redfield, the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that some Americans who were said to have died from influenza may have actually died from the coronavirus (COVID-19).

"When did patient zero begin in US? How many people are infected?" he asked. "What are the names of the hospitals? It might be US Army who brought the epidemic to Wuhan. Be transparent! Make public your data! US owe us an explanation!"

In a short thread on Twitter, a social media platform inaccessible in China, Zhao demanded to know how many of the 34 million influenza infections and 20,000 associated deaths during this latest flu season were related to COVID-19.

The coronavirus, now a pandemic, first appeared in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, capital of hard-hit Hubei province and the epicenter of a serious outbreak that has claimed the lives of thousands, the majority in China....."

Everyday, I hope that some chinese nurse or doctor drinks a whole bottle of fukitol and shows the world how bad things really are.

I thought that by "monkeys" they meant thai people.

But Listerine isn't clear usually in Europe, it's purple or green, even the "clear" one still leaves marks because of the additives, (white T shirt accident that stained it) and most of it has also gone alcohol free now in the EU. (Not sure about eastern Europe ).

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

Kid coughed in my face.

How progressive of you to allow that.

On a serious note hope you and your your kid are fine.

Monkeys be greedy as fuck. They are so used to having the food fall out of the sky, they forgot how to fetch for it themselves.

Ok, yeah, I just use the old school generic stuff that dries pretty clear...and I don't own white clothes either...bummer the europeans took out the alcohol. Good luck, Europe

The first name I recognise, that is the mouthwash right?

And over 50,000 homeless people in LA county with little to no desire to get healthcare. I get that life situations are different and all, but you live in a desert with large numbers of literally crazy people and ultra violent gangs.
Do have ANY family living in a rural area?

Panic buying supplies can lead to riots very fucking quickly in major cities.

Gotta love all the fearmongering today of all days. Most of us here have been awaiting our lord nurgle's blessing with anxious ferver only to be seen as paranoid. Now, of course, the herd of 300 lb diabetics, modbid lolcow obeasts, and trash-eating hedonists start to worry about staying alive. No one cared about staying alive when it meant you would eat vegetables instead of deep fried chicken biscuits or run instead of get a scootie puff jr to wheel your fat ass around.

With that italian triage form going around it's fun to bring up a "who here will get care under these rules" game. The 48 yo smoker with heart issues? Nope! The diabetic? Eh....how well do they self-manage? We've got people sitting around trying to figure out what to tell the docs in order to score a primo spot in the mechanical ventilation line when it hits them.
