I told my boss earlier today that I gotta care for my elderly grandma and I don't wanna give her the corona and her to get hospitalized or worse. My boss says, we're looking into it. You need to come in until Friday and we're gonna figure it out. I'm like :dwillhuh:

This is from a major, major international corporation. They are not concerned at all it seems and they are not doing anything about it. If my grandma gets this shyt because I was forced to go into work, somebody is gonna pay :ufdup:

Wow for whatever reason finding out my neice - who is home for spring break (and all other colleges it seems in this part of the state) have been told to stay home an additional week and then online only classes at least thru April 17. I was like wow. But then they postponed the NBA and Tom Hanks and his wife got it? I knew it was going to happen from what the experts were telling us but I am preparing and trying not to read every piece of news about it which only makes a brother nervous. I am fortunate that I have a roommate who works at a grocery store and I have the ability to work from home if needed.
The one thing I cannot understand was from a page ago in this thread. Why don't we have more testing kits out there? That boggles my mind.

Our hospitals, experts say, are severely underprepared for the expected number of coronavirus cases. According to biologist Liz Specht, writing in STAT, the United States has about 2.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, and if 10 percent of coronaviruses cases require hospitalization, beds will be at capacity by early- to mid-May. (And, given the lack of testing in the US, it’s not clear how many Americans have been infected in the first place.) On top of that, as my colleagues Will Peischel and Jessica Washington reported last week, in 2018 Trump cut most of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s funding for fighting pandemics. That same year, the head of the National Security Council’s global pandemic team left his post, followed shortly after by the entire team. The positions remain empty.
