Coronavirus COVID-19

George is one of my heroes, the life he's lived, having Marines remove you from your home at 5 years old to live in an internment camp, then facing this anti Asian American prejudice fanned by our incompetent commander in chief.  A real American.

Solo or duo (if always with the same partner) outdoor exercise in your neighborhood is actually encouraged here in Belgium.

Supposedly near-zero risk if you keep your distance, and in the long run it might do wonders for our sanity. Realistically we are looking at at least two months of living under the current conditions.

yeah I'm starting to lose my shit, I'm gonna start making this a habit beginning today

Making/updating your guillotine list is a great way to pass time!  If you're just getting started, here's some fun Friday fodder:

Big shout out to the homeopaths, osteopaths and acupuncturists for keeping us all safe in these troubling times.

Similar advice is coming from the balkans: https://taz.de/Corona-in-Osteuropa/!5671580/
Looks like Slivovic is the cure to the virus. The Chinese government already ordered large contingents from Serbia. Živjeli!

Good read on why Americans are resisting social distancing, sometime we are our own worst enemy.  Is any other 1st world country in such denial amongst a great deal of its population?

it's because we perpetuated a culture of unserious information handling and people are not equipped to figure out what is real. if anyone wants to address the root problem, study logical debate, and participate in its spread, which is the inevitable adaptation to the modern world. engage in arguments.

I was thinking about this recently, I wonder how badly the US health insurance companies are going to totally screw us over. Since this is all unprecedented, they are going to act like they have carte blanche to charge whatever they want (more or less do anyway). They already made it a point to correct president idiot when he said corona would be covered. I fear the hospital bills I will get should I get the virus, more so than actually getting sick with it.

Yeah, I heard the other day that projections for the big surge put it most likely Monday or Tuesday but it wasn't clear if they meant NYC specifically or the whole USA.

 

Plus Spring Break ends tomorrow, so all of the idiots who caught it when they were partying in Florida this week are going to be spreading it all over the place soon.

since all the salons/barber shops are closing, guess we'll become a planet full of long hairs just like our cavemen ancestors.

Look on the bright side, we'll all be dead before that becomes a problem.
