am i a huge dikkhead for wanting to book these vegas trips?

i mean 40 deaths, 25 of them at nursing homes? why should healthy people be afraid to go about their daily lives this shyt still seems overblown by the media

Not a dikkhead but a dummy. How are you going to use those tickets/room nights if you get quarantined back home? If all shows get canceled and any gatherings of 500 people or more get banned?

arbitrage... avid travelers and investors have an arbitrage situation happening. i don't blame people for taking advantage

i'm not mad at 'em, it just seems more likely those rooms will soon be getting used for homeless in quarantine than coli users hitting the tables

Huge dikkhead may not be the right word but it's not the most considerate or socially responsible thing to do breh.

You can have this virus for quite a while AND be contagious without showing ANY symptoms. So you may be fine flying to Vegas and all this, while having the virus and spreading it tons of people in the airport, airplane, etc. Assuming you don't even get that sick, you're essentially making life more difficult for health care professionals that will have to bear the burden of taking care of sick people. Not to mention anyone that you directly infect that ends up having serious health complications.

Is Vegas that important right now?

The death toll is going to rise by an a lot. Bookmark this post and look back in 7-10 days and compare it to whatever it is today. The death toll seems low because ain't nobody getting tested. People here in the U.S. have it. Everywhere. Once they start showing symptoms and having to go to the hospital, they will start dying.

It ain't rocket science. Italy was a couple weeks ahead of us. We are following their trajectory. They may end up with a higher case fatality rate because they have so many smokers over there, but there's plenty of reason to expect that we could have a situation comparable to theirs.

My Country( Guyana) had its first confirmed case/death yesterday. Some diabetic lady from NY flew in and came down with severe Pneumonia then went to both a private and public hospital for treatment.

Anyway she eventually died and her tests came back positive for Corona. Now the folks that treated her at the hospital , her family and the passengers that flew with her are all in quarantine.

Our only University and some schools have been shut down. I got a cold and a very slight headache and I'm a lil bit worried

Im no doctor but Sounds like u got it, they always say it starts off with slight cold symptoms, headache, fever and fatigue.

Breh, u will be fine especially if u dont have a pre existing condition and I am assuming u under 60.

Just keep urself hydrated, rest with nyquil and self isolate for a week like a normal flu.

shame you could fukk her, get HIV and get cured, but die from the rona...

yea, im deciding against it

Basketball podcasters have been more responsible with their coverage than MSM

the meltdown in my fantasy group text was incredible.

Last place team who has been out of it since MLKjr day: "I want my money back"

If that's the case put me in the Rona Boat.

Not leaving this house for a week at least.

U.S. Labor Department allows unemployment benefits for Coronavirus

U.S. Labor Department allows unemployment benefits for Coronavirus
1 Min Read

March 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Labor Department on Thursday gave states flexibility to amend their laws to provide unemployment benefits in events related to the coronavirus in an effort to limit the damage on the economy from the pandemic.

States can pay benefits in cases of temporary unemployment because the coronavirus is preventing employees from coming to work. Individuals quarantined with the expectation of returning to work after the quarantine is over can also receive unemployment benefits as well as those leaving employment due to a risk of exposure or infection or to care for a family member.

From reddit so again, posted without comment:

Spoiler: From An Italian.........

(First thing first I'm sorry for any eventual grammar errors but English isn't my first lenguage Second, this is a repost because in another sub people asked me to post it on r/Coronavirus but it doesn't accept it, so I came here as the rules advised).

As I think everybody knows, Italy is on quarantine because of the coronavirus outbreak. That means that everybody has to stay home unless you've got valid reasons to go out. This situation is bad, but what's worse is seeing the rest of the world behaving as if nothing's going to happen to them. We know what you're thinking because we were in your place too.

Let's see how thing developed (keep in mind it all happened in around 2 weeks):

STAGE 1. You know that coronavirus exists, and the first cases begin to appear in your country. Well, nothing to worry about, it's just a bad flu! I mean I'm not 75+yo so what could possibly happen to me? I'm safe, everybody is overreacting, what's the need to go out with masks and stock toilet paper? I'm going to live my life as usual, there's no need to freak out.

STAGE 2. The number of cases begins to be significant. They declare "red zone" and quarantine one or two small cities where they found the first cases and a lot of people were infected (~22/02). Well that's sad and somewhat worrisome but they're taking care of it so nothing to panic about. There are some deaths but they're all old people with other pathologies so the media is just trying to create panic for views, how shameful. People lead their life as usual, I mean I'm not going to stop going out and meeting my friends and so on am I? There's no need to. It's not going to get me. Everybody's fine here.

STAGE 3. The number of cases is rapidly going up. They almost doubled in one day. There's more deaths. They declare red zones and quarantine the 4 regions where the majority of cases are registered (7/03). In Italy at this point 1/4 of the county is under quarantine, schools and universities are closed in these areas but bars, work places, restaurants and so on are still open. The decree gets released by some newspaper before it should so around 10k people from the red zone escape from the area that same night to return to their homes in the rest of Italy (this will be important later). Most of the population of the remaing 3/4 of Italy still does what it always does, a portion of the quarantined too. They still don't realize the seriousness of the situation. I mean yes, everywhere you turn they talk about the coronavirus, they advise to wash your hands and limit your going out, assemblies of large numbers of people are forbidden and so on, every 5 minutes on TV they remind you of these rules. But it still hasn't settled in people's minds.

STAGE 4. The number of cases is heavily increasing. Schools and universities are closed everywhere for at least a month. It's a national health emergency. Hospitals are at capacity, entire units are cleared to make space for coronavirus patients. There aren't enough doctors and nurses, they're calling retired ones and those who are in the last 2 years of university, there's no shifts any more, just work as much as you can. Of course doctors and nurses are getting infected, spreading it to their families and so on. There's too many cases of pneumonia, too many people who need ICU and not enough places for everyone. The same goes for respiraty aids (I don't know if that's the correct name). At this point is like being at war: doctors have to choose who to treat based on their survival chance, that means that the elderly and trauma/stroke patients can't get treated because corona cases have the priority. There's not enough resources for everybody so they have to be distributed for the best outcome. I wish I was joking but it's literally what has been happening. People have died because there wasn't any more space, I have a doctor friend who called me devasteted because he had to let 3 people die that day, nurses crying because they see people dying in front of them and can't do anything aside from offering some oxygen. A friend's relatice died yesterday of corona because they couldn't treat him. Chemios have been delayed until further notice. It's chaos, the system is collapsing. Coronavirus and the crisis it's provoking is all you hear about everywhere.

STAGE 5. Rember the 10k idiot who ran from the red zone to the rest of Italy? Well, the entire country has to be declared under quarantine (9/03). The goal is to delay the spreading of the virus as much as possible. People can go to work, do the grocery shopping, go to the farmacy, and all businesses are still open because otherwise the economy would collapse (it already is), but you can't move from your comune (which is like a municipality I guess) unless you have a valid reason. Now there's fear, you see a lot of people with masks and gloves around but there are still are people who think that they're invincible, who go to restaurants in large groups, hang out with friends to drink and so on. Next step.

STAGE 6. 2 days later, it's announced that all (most) businesses are closed: bars, restaurants, shopping centers, all kinds of shops etc. Everything except supermarkets and pharmacies. You can move around only if you have an autocertification with you, which is an official document in which you declare your name, where you're coming from, where you're going and what for. There are a lot of police check points, if you're found outside without a valid reason you risk a fine up to €206, and if you're a known positive patient you risk from 1 to 12 years of jail for homicide.

So that's what the situation is like now today as of the 12/03. Keep in mind that it all happened in around 2 weeks, 5 DAYS FROM STAGE 3 TO NOW.

The rest of the world apart from Italy, China and Korea is just now beginning to reach the other stages, so let me tell you this: you have no idea what's coming to get you. I know because 2 weeks ago I was the one who had no idea and though that it wasn't that bad. But it is. And not because the virus alone is particularly dangerous or deadly, but for all the consequences it brings. It's hard to see all these countries act like it's not coming and not taking the precautions that are necessary for the well-being of its citizens while they still can, so please if you're reading this try to act in your best interest. This problem isn't going to solve itself by ignoring it. Just wondering how many undiscovered cases there might be in America alone is scary, and they're in for a big, big trouble because of how their country is run.

Our government for once did a good job I must say. The actions taken were drastic but necessary, and this may be the only way to limit the spreading. It's working in China so we hope it will work here to (it's already working in some of the first red zones which we're quarantined before everybody else). Also they're taking measures to protect us citizens such as suspending mortgage payments for next months, help for shop owners who were obligated to close and so on.

I realize that these takes are really difficult, if not impossible, to take in some countries and it's really worrying to think about what it could mean in global scale. I see a very dark time ahead of us all over the world and it makes me so angry to see all these countries not taking action while they can. I wonder if this pandemic will be a turning point in our society, what do you think?

So guys, if there are cases where you live, then the virus is spreading, and you're maybe 1 or 2 weeks behind us, but you'll get to our point eventually. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take any precaution you can take, don't act like it's not going to get you, and, if you can, STAY HOME.

(Avete capito italiani? STATE. A. CASA.)

Edit: although this is tagged as unverified content, you can talk to any Italian and they will tell you that the situation is exactly this. My goal isn't to create panic but to inform people about what's really going on. I may add that yes, you can go out to walk your dog and go grocery shopping but you have to follow the 1 metre rule (people are literally avoiding each other as much as possible on the streets) and you need to have your autocertification with you. Everybody is strongly advised to stay home unless for basic necessities, and at this point whoever goes out without a real reason is an idiot. Some "campaigns" have been launched to sensibilize people to stay home (like #iorestoacasa, litelly "i stay home"). Also some factories and other workplaces like that are still running, but at least in my city everything else is closed, from shops to bars to restaurant. Also yes, there's food for everybody and it's guaranteed by the government that it will stay this way. The best way to stop the spreading is to reduce human contact as much as possible, if you can stay home!

This shyt is spooky Especially about the Healthcare system being overloaded. That's what a lot of folks I speak to don't realize.



Gonna start loading up I guess.

From the 6th:

Q But how can hospitals be preparing if they don’t know how many people they’re going to have to deal with?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’re prepared for anything. We’re prepared. We are, really, very highly prepared for anything. And in a short period of time — I mean, what they’ve done is very incredible. And I’ve seen what they’ve done back there. It’s really incredible.

Q And just from a health perspective —

THE PRESIDENT: And, by the way, NIH, what they’ve done — I spent time over there — and I like this stuff.

You know, my uncle was a great person. He was at MIT. He taught at MIT for, I think, like a record number of years. He was a great super genius. Dr. John Trump.

I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it. Every one of these doctors said, “How do you know so much about this?” Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for President.

But you know what? What they’ve done is very incredible. I understand that whole world. I love that world. I really do. I love that world. And they should be given tremendous credit. And the whole world is relying on us.

is that real?

If so we are so fuced
