Man I already saw news reporters on TV wearing their masks like absolute tards (shit was on his second chin/neck), this is fucking golden though. I trust these people with my livelihood 100%!

There is no such thing as a clause about "shouting fire in a crowded theater" in the first amendment. That came from a WW1 challenge to the draft that was overturned in the 1960s as unconstitutional.
Another cultural meme that needs to die.

Since some idiots are treating this like “our WWII”, how long before we erect a “Tomb of the Unknown Coofer” or something like that?

Ah yes. I too remember learning in history class about WWII, the conflict in which almost everyone survived any given battle and the deaths were heavily concentrated amongst the octogenarians in the Service.

There's been a big push to paint the protestors with "lol haha dumb white rednecks" or imply its just all karens wanting to get their hair done.
It strikes me as incredibly desperate, even by leftist standards.

I am not against Corona-Bonds, but it seems to me like some people want to use the pandemia to give Eurobonds a piggyback ride to smuggle them in.
Eurobonds in general are a terrible idea, the north bailing out the south isn't the only way to solve their issues, it's just the most convenient for the south, since they can waive their own fiscal responsibility and have other nations deal with it. Corona-Bonds on the other hand, would be a logical step to combat the outcome of the Chinese Flu, but before I'd accept them, I'd either prefer the EU to just give them money without any bond-shenanigans. Hell, I'd even welcome it, if the EU slashed a portion of the debt, while they're at it, but Eurobonds are a no-go.
Somehow, I don't really trust your assessment of the situation.

I'm not saying that, but the moment we start issuing Eurobonds, any incentive to even remotely pretend to give a shit about one's economy will evaporate for any net recipient nation in the EU.

Look, I have to put up with people telling me the following on the daily:
1. Trump needs to help us! With what, exactly, they can't say
2. Cuomo needs more! More what, and from whom? Again, can't say.
3. Don't blame Cuomo, he doesn't control state state government! Uh he's the governor, he certainly does.
4. The federal government needs to help with THE VIRUS! Again, how to help is not something any lefty I know can elaborate on.
It's all I hate Trump, Drumpf failed us, Brumpf can't win, OMFG PEOPLE ARE DYING, rednecks are going to kill us! They seem completely unaware there are many states between here and LA/SF and that Michigan isn't redneck country. What works in NYC isn't going to work in Lawton, OK, where your closest neighbor is a longhorn in a barn.
When someone asked me if I even watch CNN I told them I don't have a TV. The look on their face was priceless, as if I said I didn't have running water or a toilet. I just can't talk to these people anymore, I can't.

You can't really project your voice into a giant ass hall with a mask on but cutting a hole in the mask just for show is pretty high grade stupidity. The people not even bothering to wear a mask for their speech deserve credit. They aren't even trying to ham up a performance.

Of course you don't. You're german. But jokes aside let me state. I already mentioned rationally, from my point of view, it was too late to help the south anyway and you'd be better off getting ready for the upcoming tradewar. Because we will be on opposing fields.
But not even pretending? Yeah the Moncloa Pact was already going to break EU legislation. Only question was wether or not they were going to pretend to be nice about it. Nationalist rhetoric was already heavily on the rise. And Podemos hasn't been subtle about their hatred to the EU. I expect the pact to be fairly blatant about insulting the central powers. So I am being honest when I thank you. Result would be about the same anyway. It's nice knowing beforehand our politicians won't have to loop around qith rhetorical bullshit. Spexit is coming that much is obvious.
Hahahaha. Oh you think there'll be much left after the south breaks? Hmm let's see. With even less of a reason to listen to you Brexit will accelerate, which will cost you your most important banking partners. With spain and italy running only farms left for you will be poland and france, and france is already practically falling. Not to mention how much Morocco's incoming clusterfuck will assrape france. And oh is that a beautiful clusterfuck. Meanwhile the Balkans have the biggest hateboner for turkey and with the refugee crisis are already practically in open revolt. You think they'll stay put when you can't get your coin by draining the south? So then. Poland it is. Yeah I'm sure they won't use the balkans breaking as an excuse to fuck you over when they can. The east is not gonna hold for a second. Their ideology was already nationalistic to begin with and with the refugees they now see germany in as bad a light as us. So that leaves you with *drumroll* the north and center. So the socialists that already do practically nothing, the netherlands (fucking kek), belgium, luxemburg... what an empire. And france's already doing all it can to backstab germany anyway.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Germany's issue is you SUCK at making allies. And it will keep backfiring on you time and time again, because you don't understand how other countries think, and keep thinking they will just magically follow your comand just because you're germany. They won't. When an empire fragments it doesn't just loose a chunk and that's it, as soon as the first crack pops everything else follows suit. You don't scare anyone, and everyone's sick of your shit, it's that symple.
If the iran and south china sea shit keeps going down like this we'll get ww3 soon enough. Fingers crossed!

Moral hazard in economics terms. Considered bad because it just encourages more , increasingly worse behaviour.
It;s just occurred to me what this crisis reminds me of. Not the previous swine flu panics, or global warming.
It's Y2K .
For those who weren't around.
- There was a genuine issue. 2 digit date format code embedded in millions of locations.
- Experts knew it was a problem, but all the analyses of how serious it would be were based on (educated) guess work.
- Big media panic. All the computers were going to go crazy and kill us all. Nuclear plants would blow up. Your VCR would fail to record EastEnders.
- Different governments took it seriously in differing amounts. UK spent a lot of money, don't think the Italians really bothered.
- Lots of other projects were put on hold and diverted while this was being dealt with.
In the end it was a bit of a damp squib, and countries fared pretty much the same whether thay'd taken huge precautionary steps, or none at all. (My point here)
(Also some IT contractors made serious money. I knew of £1000/day in the UK, that's in 1999 money)

Michigan, USA
Still waiting for the official re-opening plan. The Republicans in the legislature say they have plans to reopen the state in phases and/or on a county-by-county basis. Governor Whitmer (D) expects that she will have to extend the stay-at-home order past May 1st.

6) add Brazilian hospital with 500 patients in Brazil cured with Hydroxychloroquine.
Key points from the article:
“Hydroxychloroquine should be administered at the very beginning of the disease, from the 2nd to the 4th day of the appearance of the first symptoms, such as fever, cough, runny nose and breathing more than 22 times per minute. People who manifest this condition should receive the medication at home. The drug is inexpensive and has few side effects.”

This article in Portuguese contains a scan of a document detailing the treatment protocol : https://t.co/Km0O3HtbTO?amp=thedonald.win
The coordinated effort to discredit hydroxychloriquine is stunning and perverse. And it’s a tell.
