Facebook Aunt posted:Yesterday I was at Walmart and thought I should pick up some NyQuil just in case I get a cold or coronavirus, or just want to get hosed up on NyQuil. I've waited too long. I did some final stocking up at a store in the Philly suburbs yesterday. I didn't see any signs of panic buying, but I did notice some small signs of people preparing. The ibuprofen/acetaminophen supply was looking light, all the large bottles of bleach were gone, and only one 20 lb bag of rice remainded.

Bizarrely I would agree, purely based on the cruise ship numbers with so many people asymptomatic. But seems like if you have symptoms, 1/33 isn't exactly the best odds. I also just want the number to be low.

Reminder: that rate only holds for people getting proper medical care, which only holds if we lock everything down to slow it enough for hospitals to not be overrun. We are not doing that. Once the hospitals are overrun, who knows what the rate will be, not even counting all the others who need a hospital at the same time.

Lacrosse posted:White Center is in a similar position and are similarly pissed about it. It'd be pretty funny if Kent just went "NOPE" and shut everything down as a response. The whole Washington economy would grind to a halt as the major rail lines into Seattle go dead, Amazon losses a distro center, Fedex has a major hub go offline, and all transit corridors between Tacoma and Seattle except highway 99, 509, and I-5 go dark. I don't know if they can legally do that, but if they could and did holy poo poo would it make a point regionally and soon nationally/internationally as Seattle's ports all choke to death. Didn't White Center spend most of its life as unincorporated King County and only recently became a city? After which King County proceeded to continue making GBS threads on them just as much if not more?

Bullfrog posted:how many people normally die on cruises? jw. i feel like it's more than 0 A former coworker was a cast member on a Disney cruise ship that a guy committed suicide on. He had some rage incident about not being able to meet Mickey and was isolated in his room for a day or two, and when when they let him out he jumped off the side of the boat.

Bullfrog posted:how many people normally die on cruises? jw. i feel like it's more than 0 Usually one or two - simply because if you have a thousand or more boomers in the same place for two weeks a few will die naturally. Most ships have a morgue for this reason, keep the bodies fresh.

No one should be on a cruise, anywhere. It's not like it's only the US allowing cruises still either, it's mind boggling. And now there's coronavirus to add to the list and both those things are still true.
