BANDAIDS DON'T FIX BULLET HOLES

I’ve got a trip to Utah in a week. Debating on cancelling. Any of you shifted travel plans?

Canceled my spring break plans to meet up with my dad and step-mom. Didn’t seem like a good idea with there having been cases on my campus and my dad and step-mom are both medical professionals at a small town clinic so getting them sick would be a huge hit to that community.

There's someone in a low-infection area I was planning on visiting this month. :S if it was just me I'd probably go, but I'd be concerned about either bringing something back to my folks, my had-a-heart-attack coworker, or my allergic-to-everything housemate.

Where I work is planning on stress testing their remote access servers.


At the end of next week. So how are we aggressively responding to this again?

Seema Verma on CNN right now and it's 100% bullshit and spin, they're still lying to downplay this.

We're hosed.

The political appointees have actively given the finger to expertise for years, doing the Donnie thing where they trust gut and luck. Now, they're in a foreign position where they're forced to communicate information given to them by health experts.

The health experts are saying that we're hosed because of decisions made earlier by political appointees. The political appointees don't know what to say. All the while, Donnie is watching his TV, waiting for the TV to give him the love that his daddy never did.

Yeah, we're hosed, but at least non-federal organizations have realized it and have shut down mass gatherings to slow the spread a bit.

I'm divorced and remarried, so our kids are a bridge to three households. Household 1 has a nurse who works with transplant patients every day who are in various states of purposeful immunosupression. Household 2 has a dermatologist who works with skin cancer patients basically daily. Household 3 has a nurse who visits different hospitals/units as part of the system's electronic medical record training/helpdesk team.

Our kids are kinda bummed that they're not going to be able to do poo poo over the next 3 weeks off of school because none of us want to be patient zero either for any of the many different patients these three come into contact with, or from any of them. If we were all computer workers working from home, we'd probably be a lot more open to them hanging with friends, going to the gym, etc.

When Mr Nice and I were going back and forth a bit on this last week? this was kinda part of what I was alluding to that was likely to happen IMO, ie that the non-federal DOH's etc would step up more and keep things from the worst-case.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

I'm pretty much waiting for an email that we're shutting down. March Break + 2 week school closure after that fucks so many people.
Plus, our primary supply chains are China (hosed), Luxembourg (lol, hosed) and Vermont (??? hosed?) so when those dry up methinks it's hard to get anything done.

A dip in consumer spending sure, but we don’t have a choice when it comes to buying a lot of their poo poo. Maybe the trade war pissed them off more than we thought. I think they make an ungodly amount of the world’s pharmaceuticals and medical equipment.

China is at least as hosed as the US will be so that's still pretty dumb. Huge segments of their economy just stopped. And the US economy tanking will be a second wave of them getting hosed.

My old school extended spring break by a week, and all classes are going to be online once everyone “returns”. They’re making their final decision next week on whether or not rear end-in-seat classes resume. This is coastal NC, but there are already a pile of cases throughout the state.
