If Trump has the 'roni, we probably won't hear about it publicly.

It's incredibly hosed up that one of the best movie stars of all time, my man, Tom Hanks, has the bug.

In American culture, "saving face" is very important. It's why Trump can never admit he has the bug.

Really amazing job by the Dems (probably Obama) to create c19, have it start in a small Chinese province, so Trump doesn't take it seriously, and ultimately is infected by it

tom hanks is going to do what trump never could and bring the world together as the public face of the epidemic. once all of the other candidates are dead from coronavirus he'll handily win the presidential election as a write-in.

Let me get this straight.

Of the 112 total cases in Australia, I'm supposed to believe that two of them are Tom Hanks and his wife?

It's everywhere. Celebs are the only ones who can get priority access to tests.

I'm legit wondering how widespread it really is now.

Last couple weeks of February my friend and her kid were sick with fever and her mom (mid 50s) was hospitalized on a ventilator and it was pretty touch and go. I babysat the kiddo and wound up like I was just on the edge of getting sick for several days and then was fine.

My state still has no confirmed cases so I assume it was regular flu, but....?

The only way we’ll find out if Trump has the roni is if he goes to the ICU or he dead.

They're extremely shook by the Tom Hanks news, still lying their asses off trying to minimize the reality and severity of roni but visibly making GBS threads their pants at the same time

We just got notice today that all employees must be set up for remote work by Monday, and the entire office may be doing precautionary work from home for several weeks. Guess it's time to set up the work desk! It's gonna be lit working in the bedroom with 3 cats

I'm glad to see my province is testing every single person presenting with cold or flu symptoms

Its overwhelmingly likely at this point that the number of people in the US who are infected is many orders of magnitude higher than whats been represented in the data/statistics so far (and not just because Trump has put a moratorium on testing).

I'd wager there a double digit % of goons posting right now who don't know they have it.

quote:

Today Dutch cases jumped from 382 to 500. The governments advice is still to avoid shaking hands with people but go about your business as if everything was normal. Starting to think they are using this as a chance to get a bunch of 80 plussers off the Healthcare network.

Kidney Stone posted:

And Denmark has now got 514 confirmed cases. 10 of those are hospitalised, 2 in critical condition.

All universities will be closing for two weeks from Friday, and all schools for two weeks Monday.

The government has urged people not to congregate with more than 100 people at a time. Nobody is getting on trains without a seat reservation.

People are always confusing the Dutch and the Danish. In a year it'll be easy to tell them apart - Denmark's the one with people living in it.
