The lag here is probably comparable with political polling. This is just what we know to have happened - this is not the state of things as we know it.

We don't need tests right now - we know it's spreading everywhere. We need to shut down. Then we need tests in abundance. Tests don't matter a lick while we know it's spreading.

If I die from this, I blame tobacco and capitalism, not mother nature.

I'm a smoker, and 42, oh yeah I've also likely got COPD. Mother nature had nothing to do with this

Yeah the US is playing whack-a-mole and by the time they've found one case there are probably 5 or 6 more. I think the uncontrolled R0 in Wuhan was like 5.6 in the first five weeks after detection. With no screening and potentially weeks of being asymptomatic we are heading for a major disaster.

I hope it is the case that a cold calculated decision was made to let 2M Americans die by very sick people at the head of the government, instead of just them being really really stupid. I guess that would make me feel better about this for some reason.

not necessary to invent cruelty to explain that, there's a cognitive bias (which I can't remember the name of) that people have a tendency to prefer situations where at least someone is making rational decisions, vs uncontrolled chaos.

If I was Pence I would legit roll the dice on this. Trump is 74 an in terrible health while Pence seems in good shape for a 60 year old and no doubt is banking on God to protect him on top of that.

Before my father turned into a turbo Fox News chud he was a good man and instilled into me that things can go tits up in a heartbeat so you gotta love life but you gotta be ready for anything to be thrown at you. It was my mother that taught me that you don't drive over bags because there could be a severed head in them. It's all about risk avoidance

lentils, legumes, and rice are not flavorless gruel what the gently caress is wrong with you??? lentils are gods gift to man

its real easy to add some stock (better than bouillon is best storebought option that's easy to store), cumin, coriander, zahtar, cayenne, saffron, basil, rosemary, canned tomatoes, whatever the gently caress and have it taste good af

Blasphemy! Grits + hot sauce, grits + little bit of sugar and butter, grits + butter and pinch of salt and pepper. Just the slightest seasonings with some good grits and it's divine. Polenta and grits are basically the same thing, grits is fine ground hominy and polenta is yellow corn coarser ground. Go to a bougiusise restaurant and they charge bank for that by just adding cheese

if it kills you because you forget to breath because corona-san got in your CNS it's really not the flu that kills you so it's more of a personal responsibility kind of deal

My Healthcare Megacorporation in NY has decreed that ALL travel, foreign or domestic by physicians must be reported weeks ahead of time and anyone traveling to a pandemic country automatically gets quarantined for 2 weeks without pay.

Also, it was real fun walking into a room with a 60 year old woman with a 102.7 fever. And hearing that she hasn't traveled anywhere, but people in her house recently were at the airport.

Turned out to be the flu (rapid flu tests are a godsend), but even wrapped in a full gown, mask, and gloves still felt a little unsafe.
