Moderate UK Update:

The NHS is at War, quite simply.

In the last 24 hours: 2.6 million masks were shipped to hospitals.

10,000 bottles of hand sanitiser.

Ventilator Capacity increased.

1,400 UK manufacturing companies (Likely in the SME bracket) have stepped forward ready to change their manufacturing capability to making more ventilators.

We had an email at work on Wednesday asking if anybody had any previous experience in Medical equipment engineering , quality control , procedures etc. We're not going to be retooling to produce stuff directly, but I think they are offering to put out anyone with relevant experience on secondment to places that can use them . No idea if this concept has come from us, or top down from the government.
 
More data casting some doubt on China's numbers. China's phone carriers are reporting Jan/Feb figures and it seems they've hemorrhaged users: China Mobile lost 8.1M; China Telecommunications lost 5.6M.

That's obviously because America is racist and spread the virus on their shores. These people were simply enemies of the glorious state and sent to be reeducated in a mass learning pit of progress.

I knew things were bad when people started unironically talking about how things were getting better in China and using China numbers. This is the kind of info that's interesting.
What's the guess? People too poor to afford phone service? Government cut off people? They fucking died?
Could it be bad data or something as simple as they switched to another provider?

Now that's concerning. You'd think with everyone stuck inside the cell phone usage would go up, not down.
There may be reasonable explanations for this, such as the companies shutting down "non-essential" towers to save on calling out maintenance personnel, but the animal part of my brain is screaming that those people are all fucking dead and that the Chinks are covering it up.

What the fuck is wrong with you
 

Italys public health system has collapsed. They're in full triage mode now and have to select which people to help and which people to let die. If you have a heart attack in the middle of this, chances are the ambulance might take a few hours, if it comes at all so deaths coincidental to this happen and they aren't even counted. They've also overtaken chinas number in shortest time which now even reports no new cases. The morbid thing is the chinese sending doctors to italy to be able to put a spin on this for their home propaganda. They should've denied these doctors entry into the country and I hope the chinese government will bleed for this.

In the meantime Italians still ignore curfew rules and tons get arrested and fined. Same situation in other european countries with curfew.
 
This is sad. Tempe is extremely chill and seems pretty at-risk to economic collapse, maybe moreso than elsewhere.

Lol at “proclaimed” in quotes tho

That's exactly what it is though. The Mayor of Tempe issued a proclamation, that's all. I was like, WTF? Who made him King? Where's any rules or regs around it? What if I say Fuck Off and decided to keep the doors open? Do they send the police to shut me down and throw my old sorry ass in jail? That's exactly why "proclaimed" was in quotes because really, what fucking weight does a proclamation carry? I mean, I can proclaim I'm the biggest shitposter in the world, but it's still meaningless. Ugh.

Sorry, this whole thing has been exasperating for all of us. Slappy gonna need a couple doubles from the bartender tonight. Oh wait, the fucking bars are closed, too!
 

It makes perfect sense, the last thing basic utilities need are for huge swaths of their workforce to get sick and be unable to work.

The core industries at this point forward are electric, gas, internet/cable, supply chains/trucking, and garbage service. I probably missed a few, but if one or many of those fall, we're all in deep shit.

Ohhhh FUCK YOU, CNN.

Jesus H. Christ, what ghoulish people. And people still don't think that the news media is doing this to influence the Election in November? "Hey, if we can stir up more panic and a couple thousand Americans die from this, it will all be worth it if we get Drumpf out of office, right?!" is probably what these gargoyles are thinking when they say stuff like this.

The news media is undoubtedly an enemy of the American people at this point. Fuck them. Seeing this absolutely makes my blood boil. This is what evil looks like. You can't convince me otherwise.

And this really isn't even about Trump at this point. The phrase "Unsubstantiated Hope" is what I'm so disgusted about. You know that phrasing was used to get more people anxious and panicked. Evil. Absolutely evil.

Bear this in mind. Chinese people are exceptionally good about getting around those filters when stuff really pisses them off. If they can call out the children of mid-level government officials, they can definitely call out that the state is lying about their parents' death.
