Coronavirus Thread: Worldwide Pandemic

[TheDarceKnight]

One thing i dont understand. This isnt a hurricane. The situation is getting worse

Shouldnt the companies that produce products like hand sanitizer and toilet paper be ramping up their production? Why are they not taking advantage of this? People who work in those warehouses should be getting 80+ hrs a week.

They’re probably trying. I know mask companies are but are super backed up.

Talked to my epidemiologist friend that I’ve been posting about in this thread since 2/29. He’s pissed and scared tonight. He says based on the U.S. lack of effective action so far that he and a colleague at Johns Hopkins believe that in a month we could be seeing 700-1,000 deaths per day in the U.S.

For context that’s about two 9/11s a week.

hour long phone call. He kept going back to the point of “people keep bracing for this like it’s a crisis on the way but they don’t realize it’s in full swing and started a while ago.” He said the time for the measures being taken this week was 2-3 weeks ago, and that there’s still not nearly enough respect for what’s about to happen here.

he also kept saying there’s literal evidence at our fingertips of Italy, which is not some third world country, and our arrogance is stupidly making us think we won’t end up like them.

He ended the call by saying this may be the most transformative event in American (and global) history since WW2.

I’m deeply ashamed of my government and a lot of my fellow citizens today brehs.

Anyone concerned about the effect these long term closures are going to have on poor populations? What happens when these people can't afford rent, food, etc? Elites who have the ability to close down society can weather the storm. A great deal of people can't.

Will homelessness increase? Violence?

Considering we are a welfare-adverse society this is very concerning. Even the conservative economist Mankiw is suggesting giving out a $1000 to the population...it's what we are not concerned about that we should be concerned about.

Didn't Italy suspend mortgage payments or something?

this pandemic is exposing america as a house of cards.

Yeah I’m scared breh. He told me on 2/28 to start preparing because “in 2 weeks people in the U.S. will be starting to panic.” I got my prep done before the lines. You can go back to early pages in this thread. I been posted up in here more than anywhere else on the coli. This thread has been home base. My friend was off by 24-48 hours, but everything else he’s said to me daily in the past 2-3 weeks has been happening just how he said it would.

tonight’s the first night reality is setting in and I’m realizing I think he’s realllyyy right. I’ve been low key freaking out but I’m pretty sad and scared for all of us tonight.

This is monumentally stupid. The UK might have a dumber approach than the U.S. and that’s saying something

Meanwhile the other Texas Senator is agreeing with... AOC

How political philosophies change once you get infected with a deadly virus

I’m not sure if the IQ of posters in TLR is truly lower or if people post shyt, dap stuff, and perpetuate stupidity as a way to fit in to the prevailing ethos of what passes for enlightened in there. that forum is like tinfoil MAGA for colored people.

I can’t bring myself to look over there

Isn't Amazon already providing sick leave?

Amazon is apparently doing something very strange.

They are letting people come and go as please with no attendance penalty. But you gotta actually be infected for them to pay sick time for two weeks.

What did TLR do now? Cause they outcasts and pariahs to their own families and communities.
