Honestly, if anybody still has the ability to hit up a grocery store now to stock up on food, now's the time. Easy to give people poo poo for "panic shopping" when most people only meal prep a week out, so having kids at home means you have to plan for them as well. Best to stock up on everything so you don't have to leave the house for 3 or 4 weeks.

I mean it's easy to flick poo poo to people for hoarding but most americans don't have a pantry full of backup food because everybody lives paycheck to paycheck. It's incredibly hosed up.

Also a normal week's supply of food (and TP) are not going to last a week with everyone home full time. No eating out, no school lunches, and no poopin on company time means your supplies may not go as far as you normally expect.

My wife is chinese and works for a large chinese company doing poo poo with genetic sequencing. A few days ago she was contacted by people at the largest hospital in sweden panicking that they couldn't test enough people. Officially Sweden had "changed the strategy" to only test really sick people. But that was only because hospitals started running out of test. This morning enough equipment to do 1000 tests a day landed in Sweden. My wife probably saved actual lives. China is gonna come out of this looking sooooo loving good.

Weirdly plasticky. No crumb to speak of. My cousin who is something a bread goddess pronounced it as "simultaneously over proofed and under proofed; I didnt know that was possible."

My partner gave up on trying to make regular bread since hers was coming out like that all the time. She changed to a soda bread recipe that she added some rosemary, garlic, and onion to, and it comes out flawless every time now.

She's using this one I think: https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/soda_bread_24837

Looks like a foreign actor has been attacking U.S. health and Human Service computer systems to disrupt the Covid-19 response.

Cyber-Attack Hits U.S. Health Agency Amid Covid-19 Outbreak

The U.S. Health and Human Services Department suffered a cyber-attack on its computer system, part of what people familiar with the incident called a campaign of disruption and disinformation that was aimed at undermining the response to the coronavirus pandemic and may have been the work of a foreign actor.

“We are aware of a cyber incident related to the Health and Human Services computer networks, and the federal government is investigating this incident thoroughly,” John Ullyot, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said in a statement. “HHS and federal government cybersecurity professionals are continuously monitoring and taking appropriate actions to secure our federal networks.”

He said “HHS and federal networks are functioning normally at this time.”
relates to Cyber-Attack Hits U.S. Health Agency Amid Covid-19 Outbreak

While a foreign state is suspected in the attack, the administration hasn’t yet confirmed who it was, according to a U.S. official.

“We had no penetration into our networks, we had no degradation of the functioning of our networks,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said at a White House briefing on the coronavirus on Monday afternoon.

The attack, which involved overloading the HHS servers with millions of hits over several hours, didn’t succeed in slowing the agency’s systems significantly, as was apparently intended, according to one of the people familiar with the matter. They requested anonymity to discuss details of the sensitive incident.

An HHS spokeswoman said in a statement that the agency had “put extra protections in place” as it prepared to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.

“On Sunday, we became aware of a significant increase in activity on HHS cyber infrastructure and are fully operational as we actively investigate the matter,” said the spokeswoman, Caitlin Oakley. “We are coordinating with federal law enforcement and remain vigilant and focused on ensuring the integrity of our IT infrastructure.”

Just before midnight on Sunday, the National Security Council issued a tweet warning without elaboration about “fake” text messages. The tweet was prompted by a message from an unknown sender warning that the person’s “military friends” had heard in a briefing that the “president will order a two week mandatory quarantine for the nation.”

Officials believe the message -- spread by text, email and social media -- was related to the HHS cyber attack, one of the people said. Trump didn’t propose a mandatory quarantine on Monday, even as he urged Americans to avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people and to stop eating out at restaurants and going to bars.

Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE. There is no national lockdown. @CDCgov has and will continue to post the latest guidance on #COVID19. #coronavirus
— NSC (@WHNSC) March 16, 2020

Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and other Trump administration officials are aware of the cyber attack, according to one of the people, and the hack doesn’t appear to have resulted in any data being taken from HHS systems.

General Paul Nakasone, who leads the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, is looking into the situation, one of the people said.

Kemp is sitting on his hands, still, in GA. We have over 111 infected in an explosion from 60-ish on saturday evening, if I recall correctly.

Abrams wouldn't have done this poo poo.

When Kemps office finally gave the call for USG schools) to be ready to transition to online courses after Spring Break, it caused more confusion and grief than if they just let each University handle it themselves. The only thing clear in their language was "We have no loving idea what we're doing but we all make 6 figures a year so we're qualified".

Meanwhile, our department already had our poo poo sorted out, ready to roll online for class transition and had to modify based on bullshit they passed down.

A true shitshow. Despite having the loving CDC right down the road.

Finally some answers. Everyone in my department and similar departments are temporarily laid off, although they might need some of us to come in next week to do a proper shut down of the stores. If we stay closed for more than 59 days it will be formal termination but hopefully that won't happen.

If you've have ever wanted to try some hosed up mad scientist bullshit I would say now is the time to do it. Infect the shark. You will go down in history. It would be like Frankenstein, but instead of assembling a golem made from cadaver bits brought to life with lightening you just cough on a big shark.
