you and the rest of the world are going to find out how "different" 70 years of societal races-to-the-bottom of various sorts and ballooning managerial establishments can truly make a nation. the answer is not "more efficient."

Oh well. Roll on the Republic of Gilead then. I've always liked religious conservatives and I bet I could pass as one if my life depended on it.
 
This looks fucking terrifying:

New York has too much density of population, it has almost the same amount of people living in belgium, that is 11 millions people in 30 872 kilometers square, when NY has only 782 kilometers square for 9 millions people, for how busy the metro's , streets are, i fear that NY will be a huge disaster in term of infections, this is incredibly high population in a very small area.
 
We're going to be eating dog food out of cans and washing our asses with garden hoses while these fuckers continue with the petty bickering like absolutely nothing is happening out here.
So why are both sides against any bailout right now? Is it because of Trump and don’t say the banks get bailouts that not what I mean.

Meeeeeeeeme Recaaaaaap!

First off we got a nice tutorial on the new fresh challenge helping people bear the quarantine here in spain.


Hello, good afternoon. We will try to beat the challenge I saw through wazzap. I think I can do it. Ok? So we need a broom, and a glass, full of water. Needs to be topped. I'm using one made of plastic just in case I fail and it falls. So now *gets on top of chair* I gotta grab the glass with water, put it on the roof, and we use the broom to hold it in place. Wait... hold a minute *gestures his wife to help him* hold it for a little bit, straight and strong! Is it pointing upwards, yeah? If not it'll fall. *gets off chair* don't let it fall for a moment. And now you leave your wife here. 10 or 15 minutes, and we go! She stays there and that way we can rest from her for a bit. Just till tomorrow, stand there a little bit.

Second meme for the day. Here we have a llanito (person from gibraltar) attempting to tell his fellow gibraltar population to self isolate already (as gibraltar, being a british colony, has refused to follow spanish example, which for the record doesn't seem to be causing them many issues. Which is likely due to how isolated they are. Only contact they have is with Cadiz and they get no turism (and Cadiz is right now objectively THE least affected area of spain, despite the 2 hospital outbreaks, which is fucking weird, my best guess is people really did build up immunity with a carnaval outbreak and didn't even test for it, it seriously makes no sense) point is, no need in translating since the message isn't what's funny. What's funny is the spanglish, so try to find the meaning yourselves and have some fun.

Also we got this from our britbong pals.


And finally here's another doc. It's a hospital's PPE protocol they sent me asking if it was good or they should worry. I have no idea how private or public this may be I honestly never gave a shit. Still haven't gotten my grubby little hands on the document supposedly proving neurological damage.

It LOOKS terrifying, but there are two important facts to remember:

1. The US lags FAR behind in testing. Many of the cases that should have been detected weeks ago are just now getting results. Likely US cases were beginning to ramp up 1-3 days before italy, but nobody was testing.

2. While the absolute number of cases is higher and growing fast, the US has a population of 330 million, compared to 60 million for italy, and is a far larger country with more medical resources. Our total case number is going to end up higher then italy, significantly so if the virus turns out to be more aggressive, but per capita our confirmed cases is still far lower. To match per capita we would have to have 294,0250 confirmed cases today. The graph does not take per capita into account, so any country with a significantly higher population then italy will look way worse even if per capita cases are lower.
New York has too much density of population, it has almost the same amount of people living in belgium, that is 11 millions people in 30 872 kilometers square, when NY has only 782 kilometers square for 9 millions people, for how busy the metro's , streets are, i fear that NY will be a huge disaster in term of infections, this is incredibly high population in a very small area.
Hyperdense cities like New York are disaster zones just waiting to happen. Honestly surprised it hasnt been hit harder by previous diseases.

Also why I would never live in such a location.
 
Let me distract you from the impending shitstorm tomorrow. Whore with face disfigured by too much plastic surgery in a failed attempt to look young posts a ridiculous video about "quarantine" on Instagram:
Quarantine the Holland Tunnel between your rickety legs you geriatric prostitute. You know maybe not, keep them open. Corona-chan would be doing the world a favor.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT THE FUCK MAN

"A senior Democratic aide said other major problems include:

  • No money for state and local governments
  • No additional Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds, also referred to as food stamps
  • No Occupational Safety and Health Administration language to protect workers
  • No expanded emergency leave provisions
  • Only three months on unemployment insurance -- Democrats say it's an insufficient length given the scope of the crisis
  • No money to help with the treatment of the uninsured
  • Does not provide adequate relief for the 44 million federal student loan borrowers
  • Language says corporations must keep employees "to the extent possible" which means they can keep bailout money and still fire workers"
 
For Italy maybe, the US is 6 times bigger than it.

Yeah. Also, the US has more hospital beds per capita than Italy does, but the numbers are going to explode in the US in no time. They surged by like 10k cases today and it will not stop accelerating for quite some time.

Let's just hope the US Healthcare system is up to the task... and when it comes to that: How does this work out for the regular Joe?
I mean, is he going to end up with a hospital bill that'll make him yearn for the bullet or how does this work out? Especially given the average situation when it comes to health insurance.
 
Right, your reasoning is that when there is a scare resource that people actually depend on it is clearly not a misuse of that scarce resource to waste it on a speculative prophylactic application against coronavirus, that unlike its actual usefulness in chronic cases that has been demonstrated by the CCP, and unlike its use for arthritis and lupus, has absolutely no basis to support it.
Its cheap, easy to make and the main user are not in danger right now because there is no travel.
 
I disagree a little bit with pence on the "if you don't have symptoms, you don't need to be tested" maybe for now during the quarantine as most people stay home, maybe just in that case, but there are absolutely asymptomatic people or "healthy" carriers out there, you need to release the quarantine little by little by testing almost everybody for it, or else you'll get new clusters waiting to happen. It would be stupid to precipitate a release of the lockdown if you still have people around with the asymptomatic disease still contagious.

The republican bill was awful so they have a point
 
I don't know if this has been posted but I found this interesting:



I wonder if some 'lost art': objects lost in ww2 or sold into private hands and lost track of is going to resurface at this time?
 
If things couldn't be more hilarious, Pelosi is now going to introduce her version of the bill to the House, where it will probably be rejected by the GOP and Trump.

absolute fucking state of the US Government
Didn't Lincoln arbitrarily imprison people without trial for standing up for their rights and their states? Didn't Andrew Jackson defy judges?

This seems like a situation where you would want your leader to actually, y'know, lead.
 
I wonder with regions with shit weather like Wisconsin are going to see less infections in a few weeks as most people don’t go out right now. I’m not saying the states would get hit less but having bad weather will slow the infection rate.
Personally I doubt it. I've lived in Wisconsin and bars are huge. Considering they didn't shut them down until a few days ago, there's a pretty decent timeframe for the virus to spread. If this was January may be a different story, but it's already above freezing, so that's good weather

Fuck the SNAP people; 75% of this country is fat and they could stand to miss a few meals, plus the hoarders have plenty of food already. Fuck the uninsured; Obamacare was supposed to take care of that. Fuck the student loan people; they had enough money to go to the beach and spread kung flu. Fuck the language; you can't mandate that companies keep people employed forever, it's just unreasonable. Fuck OSHA; I don't even know what the fuck that has to do anything. And fuck the state and local governments, because fuck everyone else.
