That's not quite what it says.

There's nothing about being able to pay the credit card immediately; in fact it says the opposite, that they don't have enough in savings to pay it off right away. Meaning "I can't afford this, but I can incur some debt"

"cut back on expenses" doesn't imply that the person has a budget, more like "I can't afford this but I can always stop making principle payments for awhile"

10 of your 90 were "I can't afford this in any sense, a friend or loved one would need to give me money"

Reminder that the context is an Asian cruise for Americans. Even if the cruise is $1500, the flight and other incidentals are probably going to make the trip at least $2500 per person - so $5000 for a couple or upwards of $10,000 for a family. On top of getting 10+ days free coordinated for everyone, it shouldn't be a multi-page back and forth on whether that's a luxury outside the reach of the large majority of US families.

Seems like Chinese restaurants in New York are taking a pretty big hit due to coronavirus fears. Places that usually have long wait times for dim sum on the weekends in Flushing now have empty tables during the busiest hours.

Clearly this cruise cost discussion will be the spark that finally ignites the GBS class war, where the half of the forum that never managed to do anything with their lives and thinks that everyone here is a fellow sufferer under capitalism come to realize that the other half are now top 10%ers who can do stuff like splurge on luxuries like six-figure vacations for their families and donating to Lowtax's Patreon.

On the plus side, if you are currently quarantined on the plagueship, you get credit that could be used for future plagueship excursions. :v:

quote:

Each guest will receive a 100% Future Cruise Credit equal to the cruise fare paid for this voyage. The credit may be applied to any future Princess cruise booked by February 28, 2021, or any existing booking not yet paid in full and is non-refundable and non-transferable. It is our sincere hope that the refund and credit will help ease at least some of the stress that guests have experienced.

Speaking of holiday destinations; Italy has imposed quarantine on a bunch of towns after two people died of Coronavirus.. This has meant lockdown for 50,000 people but also the cancellation of a number of Serie A football matches so you can see how serious it is.

i dont think we know how serious it is yet, arbitrary lock downs dont mean anything except perceived seriousness

given the information it seems like china's lockdowns did jack poo poo and their response has been pretty weird, i dont know how to exactly say it but its odd and seems more like a show than anything

it sucks but i hope we get a proper sense of the thing from italy and south korea

Well yeah that was a bit tongue-in-cheek; ‘Italy is cancelling football matches so it must be the apocalypse’.
The Italians appear to think that they may be shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, so it’ll be interesting to see how the situation develops from here.

So Taiwan is now restricting all its medical personnel from leaving the country without special permission.

https://today.line.me/TW/article/67ZWEn

To make sure that all people possible are available in the case of a serious outbreak.

Taiwan is being a bit totalitarian in some of its actions but it’s honesty probably doing the best job in the world of containing and treating the virus.

If it happens like Wuhan, only early patients from the first 2-4 weeks could get a ICU bed, from 1 month on to region emergency was declared, it was almost impossible to get admitted in the hospital. So you strategy is, 1) don't loving get infected, stay long enough until emergency is declared; wear your mask and take your vacation if you have to 2) if you are infected, grab a car and drive to a city with better medical facility; 3) your long term goal is avoid infection as late as possible because in general the later mutations of the virus are weaker.

On the other hand, if you think the quarentiens will fail and everyone is going to get it, then you should go lick a covid19 guy as soon as possible so you can snag one of those ICU beds before they run out. Makes you think.

Typically about $560 round trip from the US for the plane ticket, and then it's pretty hard to spend $100/day in Colombia unless you're eating at the city's very best restaurants

I've been to Thailand twice for a month each time and regretted nothing. My brother went to Guatemala and I'm kinda digging a change for my next trip. I love the month off. It's amazing.

Home sucks anyway. My coworkers were saying to me 3 months ago that they hope something would happen and I'd be stuck in Japan rather than having to return to my lovely job amd my lovely boss. Wasn't expecting this though.

Its kinda shocking and I've always wondered if there was any kind of diagnostic test or useful info about a person's brain health or psychological state a doctor could get from having patients read statements like that tweet. Controlling for language and culture, not being able to instantly recognize sarcasm indicates a problem with certain mental functions.
