My wife is a kindergarten teacher in Bridgeport, CT, at the largest school in the State of CT, a school that primarily serves low income families.

Photos show the National Guard converting New York City's Javits Center into a disaster hospital for coronavirus patients

New York is one of the world's worst coronavirus hotspots. As of March 24, the state had more confirmed cases than the whole of France.

They are frantically preparing for the onslaught, while Trump dithers, everybody fears the bungled federal response, if there is one, those resources will be needed in red states with shitty public health systems and politicians who don't give a fuck. Florida is headed for disaster and will make New York pale in comparison. Jesus Christ Captain this is looking bad, I fear Trump is gonna fuck things up until they bail out his properties, this will finish his businesses if he doesn't get Uncle Sam's money, and until he does...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took issue with the ethical choices implied by Trump’s priorities, saying, “My mother is not expendable and your mother is not expendable and our brothers and sisters are not expendable, and we’re not going to accept a premise that human life is disposable, and we’re not going to put a dollar figure on human life.”

Cuomo in 2024

is Russia holding back numbers ? ... no shock there.

Who know's?
Maybe being fucking drunk all the time works.
Those guy's drink vodka for breakfast, and alcohol does kill the virus.

Here is a fever map of the country, look at Florida and other areas in the south, that's where the federal resources are gonna go, New York will end up like Puerto Rico.

Kinsa’s fever map could show just how crucial it is to stay home to stop COVID-19 spread

Smart thermometer maker Kinsa has been working on building accurate, predictive models of how seasonal illnesses like the flu travel in and among communities — and its fever map is finding new utility as the novel coronavirus pandemic grows globally. While Kinsa’s US Health Weather Map has no way of tracking the spread of COVID-19 specifically, as it looks only at fevers tied to geographic data, it could provide easy-to-grasp early indicators of the positive effects of social distancing and isolation measures at the community level.

At the time that Kinsa’s health weather map was covered in the New York Times in February, the company had around a million thermometers in market in the U.S., but it had experienced a significant increase in order volume of as many as 10,000 units per day in the week prior to its publication. That means that the company’s analytics are based on a very large data set relative to the total U.S. population. Kinsa founder and CEO Inder Singh told me this allowed them to achieve an unprecedented level of accuracy and granularity in flu forecasting down to the community level, working in partnership with Oregon State University Assistant Professor Ben Dalziel.

“We showed that the core hypothesis for why I started the company is real — and the core hypothesis was you need real-time, medically accurate, geolocated data that’s taken from people who’ve just fallen ill to detect outbreaks and predict the spread of illness,” Singh said. “What we did with our data is we punched it into Ben’s existing, first-principle models on infectious disease spread. And we were able to show that on September 15, we could predict the entire rest of cold and flu season with hyper-accuracy in terms of the peaks and the valleys — all the way out to the rest of flu season, i.e. 20 weeks out on a hyperlocal basis.”

A man accused of licking deodorants in a Missouri Walmart after asking 'Who's afraid of the coronavirus?' was charged with making a terrorist threat .... If you see this happening, kick their teeth in.

• A man accused of licking items in a Walmart store during the coronavirus outbreak has been charged with making a terror threat.
• Cody Lee Pfister, 26, was charged by police in Missouri's Warren County after what they said was a video of a man "licking the merchandise after making a 'Corona Virus' statement at Walmart and posting it to social media."

Have a winco about 2 miles from me , noticed line outside too. But everyone of those people were not wearing any protection , so I bailed . Look like a DMV line. I am riding out supplies until absolutely necessary , then on goes the TYVEK suit ...lol.

True, we weren't gowned and masked. I might regret it but the advice I'm hearing is, don't wear masks unless you are sick. I washed my hands several times, followed the other protocols and am back home to stay for another week.

I have a SCUBA gear. Maybe the next time, I'll wear it.

Remember that time when the USA had an African American President who the republicans completely slammed for releasing a stimulus bill? Saying things like it "encroaches on free markets", and "saddle future generations with piles of debt"?

My how these fuckers are so disgustingly hypocritical. I guess the republicans are now praising giving out free money to the various corporations who have been raping us all along (particularly airlines... they fuckin' nickel and dime like the worst of them, hidden fees, outright lies). Taxpayers get to give up their own money to corporations they may not even support.

Yay capitalism! Seems to be working perfectly!

Cut the fucker's tongue right out of his skull, right there in the deodorant aisle. That'll definitely curb the licking, and prove an effective deterrent for other Trump supporting retards.

Something tells me his mouth will be wrapped around something real soon when he gets locked up. He might even get a few new viruses.

We did our bi-weekly shopping today, very happy we lysol'ed everything when we got it home.

Nope, keep your distance and hurl a can of beans at his fucking head from 6 feet away at least, step back to avoid the blood spray. Avoid physical contact, let can goods do the work from a distance...

All Georgia Schools have bus drivers delivering daily lunch to kids that want it. It's the law here.

Advice is one thing , but real world exposure is another.

Just people watch .... it is fucking alarming. Seriously ... watch the crowds , look at the lack of concern over spread ....Baby carriages , kids in tow ( coughing ) , touching fruit , picking candies from bins , cashiers not gloved handling cash , no terminal wiping , etc.
I see that everywhere . Not to be an alarmist , just wired to be observant.....

I unfortunately am wired as an inspector in my business ( what’s left of it ) and am hyper aware when I inspect homes / commercial for
pest / escrow / repair quotes , so I am always looking at things a bit more critically, can’t stop doing that apparently. So certain things jump out at me . I don’t care how I look in public donning whatever PPE I have. I “ had “ access to good PPE ( half masks , cartridges, 3m boxes , nitrile gloves , booties , “ bee “ suits , etc. ) but those have been raided by technicians and company pulled stock.

Even with business accounts at several hardware and assorted outlets ( target specialty / etc ) I am left with whatever I have in truck.

I don’t think it’s necessarily overkill , just hedge .

especially with the shit cans left on shelf .... wax beans , garbanzo , and fucking beets ... yuck

I went to the store on Monday to fulfill my list of stuff that I needed/wanted & every single can of Baked Beans was gone, like every single one & this is a place that usually has dozens & dozens of cans on they're shelves.
That really sucked because I loves my franks & beans (got the hot dogs & buns at least )

Pickled beets are awesome. Also, you can boil a beet, a potato, a carrot until soft. Chop them up into small squares along with some dill pickles. Add a touch of olive oil, some fresh ground pepper and a shot of balsamic vinegar.

Best salad ever. And man, if you EVER have constipation, it's a guaranteed cure. No runs or anything like that, just the best relief ever.
