tourism is a much larger share of the world economy than you might expect, around 11%. if it stays down say 33% for the year—which seems entirely possible—it alone, not even counting manufacturing slowdowns, etc., could plunge the world economy into recession

So going by the graph above from a UK perspective assuming similar transmission rates to Italy (also similar size, population and density), we're about 12 days behind.

So by next Saturday the UK should 10x growth and the lockdowns could be kicking in (assuming we don't go full Trump).

on the one hand I have a functioning reusable n99 respirator, on the other hadn I will have to shave to make it work properly. Yeah I know boo hoo gotta shave but as a trans man being able to have an actual beard has been pretty important to my self image, esteem, self confidence and appearance so it is a big deal for me to shave most of it off, as it will be to a lot of my friends in the same position :/

Additional really bad side effect of the outbreak: No blood.

https://komonews.com/news/coronavirus/coronavirus-outbreak-cripples-local-blood-supply

quote:


SEATTLE — The cancellation of events and schools from the fear of further spreading the novel coronavirus is having a huge impact on our region’s blood supply.

Large events, like the So Northwest Women's show, provide a way for Bloodworks NW to get donors. The Tacoma Dome event drew dozens of donors just as news of the COVID-19 outbreak was spreading.

Another huge source, which accounts for 20% of donations, are blood drives held at schools. But now with school districts cancelling classes, the blood drives also got cancelled.

“A large number of donors don’t have an opportunity to give when there’s a cancellation," said Bloodworks Northwest CEO Curt Bailey.

Bailey said that in the first five days of the coronavirus outbreak, the cancelled blood drives and other appointments cost them the collection of more than 500 units of blood. Those units could have saved more than 1500 lives.

I'm having a hard time imagining how the garden hose rear end sprayer bidet works. Wouldn't you have to stand up to be able to reach your rear end with it? Wouldn't that result in watery poop splatter all over your bathroom, or at least your toilet seat? Are you supposed to snake it between your legs while you sit, putting your hands in the direct path of the poop rinse? Somebody please help my TP stocks are running low.

this is correct

quote:

He asks visitors if they’d like to wash their hands in a bathroom near the Oval Office.

He’ll send a military doctor to help an aide caught coughing on Air Force One.

And the first thing he often tells his body man upon entering the Beast after shaking countless hands at campaign events: “Give me the stuff” — an immediate squirt of Purell.

Two and a half years into his term, President Donald Trump is solidifying his standing as the most germ-conscious man to ever lead the free world. His aversion shows up in meetings at the White House, on the campaign trail and at 30,000 feet. And everyone close to Trump knows the president’s true red line.

“If you’re the perpetrator of a cough or of a sneeze or any kind of thing that makes you look sick, you get that look,” said a former Trump campaign official. “You get the scowl. You get the response of — he’ll put a hand up in a gesture of, you should be backing away from him, you should be more considerate and you should extricate yourself from the situation.”

The president’s admitted germaphobia has been a fixture throughout his career — from real-estate deal rooms to casino floors — and it’s now popping up in more public ways. It could create another round of tactile challenges as Trump launches his 2020 campaign, during which he might try to steer visitors toward his signature thumbs-up selfies and away from handshakes for the next 16 months.

The president’s hatred of involuntary bacterial emissions burst into the open last month when his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, started coughing in the Oval Office while ABC’s George Stephanopoulos was interviewing Trump. “I don’t like that, you know. I don’t like that. If you’re going to cough, please, leave the room,” Trump said before shaking his head.
