If any of you need to poison someone and get away with it, next week or two will be the best time to do it!

he already walked back on the cargo and says trade will not be affected.

Thank. God. What a fucking idiot to not clarify that.

I've been self-quarantining myself my whole life, this is my chance to shine.

He could barely read the speech he was given. It was just awful.

[Entorwellian]

I'm almost certain he has covid-19.

They would never tell us if he did.

he's gonna go spread it among his base  when he insists on having rallies. 

it'll be  interesting though.  if he yields and cancels his rallies he's going to get into a kind of stupor w/o that validation from his base.. the cheers, the clapping the banter.. i imagine it'll hit him after  a few weeks and donny will be a sad little toddler  moping around.

If we all get quarantined, buy stock in Pornhub and Kleenex

for 30 days. hmm.. when's that squarepusher show..  oh it's  the 23rd of april. so beyond the 30 days window.   hmmm.. fingers crossed. 

We’re just talking about that now, not sure if it will be canceled or if we will get flight refunds etc. Ideally cases would taper off and it will be safe to go but I’m really not sure! Shitty buzz

If I do that, I’ll be homeless this time next month.

In the same boat where I won’t be able to make it for much longer than a month without working. 

Virtue signalling, self-pitying rant:

I’m doing my best to save up some money and have been picking up canned vegetables and such every time I go shopping trying to build some reserve. Started taking a vitamin D supplement daily after seeing those yt videos posted earlier in this thread and have been buying and giving away bottles of it to people I know. Also constantly washing my hands (which by now is making my skin crack... ) and going around with disinfectant and wet wipes to clean the counters and door handles of the 2nd hand shop I take care of in the, probably idle, hope of not becoming a transmitter. Which is starting to be somewhat frustrating, seeing how my colleague considers his hands washed after rinsing them for less than 5 seconds and asking him to please take a wet wipe and some spray to hand a couple of times per day while I’m off and being met with total silence. 
It seems, like others have stated, that general awareness of the importance of trying not to become infected even if the consequences for you as an individual are likely negligible is pretty low. Hurray for Denmark, hope the Dutch government is willing to pull its head from its ass while it’s still relevant. 
 

Totally off to touch my peen after writing this btw. Can’t wait for the first corona themed porn to pop up. Can’t be long now.

Saw a white woman wearing a surgical mask downtown, so I guess my city's finally caught the coronoia.

[YEK]

Soon the virus is going to be so common they'll stick warnings on EVERYTHING:

may contain peanuts and corona virus

LOL

Kids that wear those designer face masks finally have a reason too. Even though the guy in the joe rogan podcast i posted said the masks won't do anything.

[Zephyr_Nova]

They probably do slightly more than nothing.  It's not necessarily airtight, but surely having your mouth/nose less exposed is safer than completely exposed?

[Roo]

Oh god no. If America's favourite son dies prematurely in Australia's sin city, they are so gonna nuke us.

[Braintree]

@Zephyr_Nova It comes in through the air that you breath and those masks aren't rated to filter that.

Well this was educational and somewhat frightening 

This was great. Thanks for sharing that.

Yeah, i thought it might be something like that.  But I'm no... germ-ologist (though I clearly know the jargon).

[ignatius]

sounds like wearing the masks if you are sick  is helpful to others. and perhaps the N95 masks that are fitted properly are helpful a little but the best thing a person can do is socially isolate. don't breath the same air as other people 

so i'm getting a scuba tank and scuba mask and will be taking my own air w/me everywhere. 

i really hope these fucks in congress spill out some sick leave type aid package. the GOP cock blocked the first one the house passed so hopefully there will  be a new one. the idea of stopping payroll taxes is a big deal. big dumb idea. it basically would put a huge hole in social security and medicare. they need to just kick out some cash to people in a gov't non-taxable check based on salary and whatever qualifications make sense. 

fat chance  in this country since nothing makes sense anymore.

Negative.

Rumour at our school drop off this morning was to prepare for a 4 week Easter break....seems sensible I guess.
