is the media at least bringing up Mike Pence literally caused an AIDS outbreak? That feels like a big minus for him being in charge of *checks notes* a highly infectious virus.

When 7 million people die in the US from coronavius over a year, and no one can get treated because the health system just seizes up when it's stained at all, i really hope some actual change takes place.

Remember when that comedienne with red hair did the entertainment at the annual party for washington media and the news covered it for a whole week? These people suck.

He declares the thing he wants and it’s up to whoever he’s yelling at to fill in the gaps. If there’s more to getting something done than that then he gets bored and wanders away to watch Fox News and complain on Twitter to feel better.

FlamingLiberal posted:I don't think it was ever containable. It's a virus where people can be infected but be asymptomatic for up to 14 days, and the only way to confirm that you have the virus without symptoms is a CT scan, which you can't exactly do to everyone entering the country or having contact with Americans. Yep. We can still be happy as the orange poo poo smear continues to waft about for 4 years from one PR fuckup to another though.

Herstory Begins Now posted:i look forward to trump throwing paper towels at sick people By many accounts Trump's phobic of germs; he probably handed this off to Pence specifically because he doesn't want to deal with any possibility of a photo op within miles of an infected person, or the sheer paranoia caused by briefings is wrecking him. It's almost poetic that this is on his watch.

Experts are increasingly concerned that the small number of U.S. cases may be a reflection of limited testing, not of the virus’s spread.

BigglesSWE posted:This press conference just makes it all the more obvious that he's nowhere near fit for any sort of campaign debate this year. I hate to tell you, but there is absolutely zero chance Trump will debate his opponent. He will say he refused to do it because the Fake News gave the challenger the answers again, so he's not taking part in it.

Young Freud posted:I'm concerned. Should I get a couple of weeks worth of food now in case of large-scale shutdowns? It can't hurt, to be honest, especially if you live in a major city area. You don't need to go prepper (because water, electricity etc. will likely still be fine) but a full pantry and freezer isn't a bad thing to have right now if you want to avoid going out shopping for a few weeks. Not to mention avoiding panic shoppers if this gets any worse. Worst case you'll have a well-stocked freezer and cupboard of stuff. CDC has advised stocking up a little bit, as has Health Canada, because the supply chain can handle a bit of controlled stocking up over a panic buy in a few weeks if things go bad.

This is pretty much what Australians are being told. Grab a couple of extra non perishable items each time you shop, but get stuff you eat anyway so that you can use the extra food if nothing happens. You might also want to get some face masks and hand sanitizer too.

Face masks are not going to prevent you from getting sick. They are not at all recommended for wear by healthy people because they aren’t trained, they aren’t fitted, and half the time it actually makes them touch their face more. Hand sanitizer is a good idea if your hands aren’t noticeably dirty, because coronaviruses are enveloped. Stocking up on extra unnecessary food as preppers is a weird fetish. If you’re real concerned, by a bag of rice. Either the rice will be more than enough, or the situation is so serious your carefully hoarded food ain’t gonna do much.

Geeze I went to the most ignored / boring Ace hardware I could find and right on the front door, no n95 masks: It's going to be chaos if the CDC declares any kind of emergency and people need or should get them. Question for all the experts that are tut-tut-ing any mention of viral protection gear, what's the best alternative when there are no masks available? We're not cleaning up superfund sites or watching over ebola patients so throw all the rules and pro advice out the window. What's the next best option if you live / work / see immunocompromised people and don't want to risk transmitting or picking anything up from casual contact with the public. Bandana around your face? What would you use if you couldn't get proper n95 gear and had to take mass transit to go see your grandma for example?

Don’t wear a mask unless you’re a healthcare worker or you’re already sick. Don’t touch your face. Hand sanitize before you see them. Don’t cough on them. Don’t touch them unnecessarily.

Either the rice will be more than enough, or the situation is so serious your carefully hoarded food ain’t gonna do much. I think the food advice tends to be more about hardening yourself for supply disruptions and panic runs on grocery stores. You'll get people emptying out grocery store shelves before major snow storms and hurricanes even when the worst case scenario is being stuck in their house for a day or two. You can definitely end up in a situation where it's hard to get the food you want for a week or two without it meaning that modern society is crumbling and our logistics chains have totally collapsed. Getting people to buy a few extra cans of crap here and there is also a good way to help them feel more comfortable and less likely to buy out a whole supermarket because one person in their town is sick.
