This fiasco really shows how selfish and greedy people can be. There’s establishments that continue to run and allow 250+ people. Parties , going out & having a good time can wait. Peoples priorities are being exposed right now.

A few weeks of containment vs. what you're describing could be the difference between a soft landing and a massive outbreak. It's proven to work if you identify who is infected you can help them and keep them from infecting others. That's not happening yet so this will affect more people than it has to. Our medical system is bracing itself for a big shock.

We haven't discussed anything but imo there's no basketball so as long as things stay in bounds I'm not going to mess with political discourse. Keeps the community in tact at a time we need it most.

Probably a good idea to keep certain topics separate, as happened with the primary thread separating from this one. Try to respect those with different opinions.

Xoxo.

That does give perspective

South Korea really stands out on the upper levels as the one that seems to be containing it

The USA could rise fast in those charts

We're on basically the same case number exponential curve as Italy, only a week and a half behind. For some reason, our cases haven't been as deadly. Hopefully, that holds.

I'm hoping ours is a milder strain. There's some speculation of two strains but still early.

Great story to go along with it, too

I need to go to the Dominican republic for about a week.

So I guess trying to get through Chernobyl... I mean JFK.. is basically a 50/50 chance of catching the virus?

I don't like those odds...

I've reconsidered my outlook. I would not go right now.

Just saw a picture of an airport waiting area in Ft. Lauderdale full of 80 year olds. It was full. I was like uh oh

we played the Pistons the next night after the Pistons played the Jazz after we had already played the Jazz 4 days prior to that, so it's certainly possible a Knick has it

Is it too extreme if I go to the store with bleach wipes and wipe down all the canned goods and boxes of rice and pasta before I put them in my cart?
