OT: The Official Coronavirus thread - Be well, be safe

[omerome]

Don't live in NYC anymore but I've been listening to the press conference and this dude had a completely different tone yesterday. Today it's a whole different vibe, things are changing rapidly. Yesterday it was about no lockdown, people have their freedom. Today, it's an enforcement with legal penalty if violated.

NYC is about to go into lockdown and soon other states will follow

Maryland basically is on lockdown now. All stores are closed at 5 PM unless it's for medical purposes, groceries or something.

I'm talking about civilians are going to be questioned on the streets about their purpose for being in the public and if they don't have a good enough reason for being out then the authorities are being given the green light to take action

We're getting there...

“Depending on the call and location, we will first make contact with the owner or manager of the establishment. If voluntary compliance does not occur, we will take enforcement action, in cooperation with the local state’s attorney.” said Maryland State Police Superintendent Cl. Woodrow W. Jones III.

The superintendent said that if the violation at an establishment involves customers or those who have gathered and they don’t leave when asked, they could be arrested.

“If the violation at an establishment or gathering involves customers or simply individuals who have gathered and voluntary compliance has not occurred, appropriate action will be taken that could ultimately result in the arrest of the individuals involved.” Jones said in the statement.

Any violation of the executive order is punishable for a fine of up to $5,000 or one-year in jail- or both, Jones said.

A lot of folks are still on the streets as if nothing is going on. Look at the kids who've been flocking to the beaches in Florida because they somehow believe they're invincible. These are difficult times. This probably should happen.

Shouldn't this thread title be changed by now?

Lawd, I hate this human POS as much as Dr. Fauci does.

No, I take that back, Dr. Fauci probably hates him even more

The sooner the better if people keep ignoring instructions and endanger everyone (it won't be just the idiots dying but the elderly in their communities). The other day, police had to ticket a juice bar in Queens and a hookah lounge in Brooklyn for flouting the rules and letting customers congregate inside despite repeated warnings from the cops. Police already have authorization to arrest if the trial summons issued aren't enough to dissuade idiots.

In France and Italy, you need to print out a form and fill in your name, date, and reason for going out, for every single trip, so that you have proof if cops ask you. People need to take this seriously. California governor said his models showed 25M people, 60% of the state's population, succumbing if he didn't shut everything down right now.

The death toll is going to increase precipitously once the hospitals get overwhelmed, like in Italy. Something considered minor right now, like appendicitis, can become a death sentence since there won't be room in hospitals for you to get minor surgery. Hospitals in Italy have to choose who lives and who dies before even getting medical care.

Peter Alexander gave the resident the biggest opportunity to act presidential without a teleprompter and he once again showed us who he really is.

We don't need a Republican or a Democratic president, we need a president. We need a leader and we are lacking in that department in trying times right now.

Yes

We'll make it through this and come out on the other side in 2021 when an adult will address the nation and Trump will be arrested, likely first by the SDNY or NY State authorities.

Last I saw, there were about 30 ongoing investigations into Trump on either the Congressional, Federal or State and Municipal levels. He'll end up behind bars

I got a letter yesterday afternoon from my job stating that I’m considered an essential employee with instructions to show it to the cops if I get stopped. So I knew this was coming

this **** is really crushing and whats hard is without sports around many of us lack an escape. i know this is the internet and you're not suppose to be "soft" here, but i hope if any of you are struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts during this that you find the support you need. If you don't have the family or friends to talk to there is this:

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255


hopefully this passes soon and we can all go back to making fun of DSjr broke ass J

At least you took the time to tear someone down.

You just offered help to those who are dealing with clinical depression while simultaneously deriding someone who's been dealing with clinical depression (due to the death of his stepmother).

FOH - man's J was broke long before his family member died. and you mf'ers are acting like talking ish about someones game isn't what we do or maybe you two don't ball with friends. cause if my wife left with the kids my mates would still talk ish about my handles.

I have been sick for a week with breathing difficulties, sore throat and muscle fatigue, but no fever. So stressful. I could not get a corona test as I do not meet the criteria, but got the very horrible nasal swab from a local physician. I came back positive with human rhinovirus. A freaking relief.

How are you feeling today?

[Knicks4eva2020]

New here. Quarantine got me looking for things to do. Sadly also a knicks fan. (Don't know why I do this to myself)

On the other hand I was lucky I had a heads up this would happen and had a few weeks heads up to stock up. Be patient this is going to take a while.

Are you familiar with this board and our social customs?

[Knicks4eva2020]

Yes I am.
1. STFU GTFO.
2. New player comes in the offseason magically he will turn into an all star because some youtube highlight video said so regardless of the body of work of said player during his career.
3. Frank can do no wrong.
4. Every other rookie sucks and can do no right.
5. Dolan is always at fault regardless of data saying otherwise. (not saying he doesnt overall suck)
6. Democrat good. Republican bad.

I think that about covers.
