Ohio governor just closed gyms, bowling alleys, and movie theaters. Advised peeps 65+ to stay home. Extended tomorrow's voting into June.

Also said he didn't have the authority to extend voting into June, and a lawsuit would be filed tomorrow about it.

Once the death spiral is stopped by a total lockdown, aggressive testing and tracking of individuals and clusters of infections can keep things under control, at least within the capabilities of hospitals. Except for the cult South Korea has had things sorted, just need to stay vigilant until anti-virals/vaccines are developed or it goes extinct on its own (global travel makes the latter a fantasy, mind).

Switzerland's federal government just escalated the crisis and has now taken control of the response, usurping the cantons' authority (which is a HUGE deal). All "non-essential" businesses are now closed, that's everything that's not a supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, post office, bank, gas station, convenience store, etc. Everything will stay shut down, nationwide, until APRIL NINETEENTH. They're also putting 8000 troops into service, mostly those with medical experience. They've stopped just short of full Italy-style lockdown, but that can't be far behind if people can't just voluntarily stay home even though there's nowhere to go.

To put this in perspective, this is like if Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Georgia all got together and said "holy poo poo we need a centralized response to this, give more power to the federal government NOW"

How likely is a domestic flight freeze in the US?

I think it's more likely that domestic carriers keep trimming schedules to the bone until there's basically nothing left, due to demand that gets smaller as the pandemic goes on longer. The federal government probably won't ever institute a domestic flight freeze, some states will, and a bunch of carriers will be de facto closed except for certain major routes cause shareholders want to get paid still

China can simultaneously playing hardball on the virus, and lying out their rear end. Both of these are in the CCP's nature.

So your position is that basically freezing the entire country did nothing to suppress the exponential growth of infection, making China unique among multiple Asian countries? Do you want to elaborate?

Trump just did a thing

On Saturday, the House passed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act after negotiations with the White House. The bill, supported by President Trump and headed to the Senate, aims to provide money to most American workers stuck at home due to the coronavirus. If the bill is approved by the Senate and signed by Trump, it would grant two weeks of paid sick leave at 100 percent of the person’s normal salary, up to a $511 per day cap. It would also provide up to 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave at 67 percent of the person’s normal pay, up to a $200 per day cap.

Word is, he 'signed off' because he knows it won't get through the senate. We shall see though, and if it doesn't we shall take loving names.

If you're actually at home and have yeast, bread is genuinely very very hard to gently caress up. Flour, salt, yeast, and water is all you need for bread; you can add a lot of other stuff, but those four will do you.

The Jim Lahey No-Knead Bread recipe swept through the baking community, and it really is that good and that easy. I sometimes knead enough to form a gluten skin, but you don't have to. Follow these directions and you will have bread.

I hear that, I flew home just two days ago (Saturday)

If you're traveling to a major airport then I think it's very unlikely that you'll be stranded by the end of this week. There may be some risk with smaller airports just because the demand may not be there to keep flights going, and carriers have been steadily cutting back routes virtually everywhere so the twice-per-week flight to upper peninsula Michigan or whatever is at risk of becoming a lot less frequent. But for now there's enough demand to support most routes, tons of people are flying right now (lol we're hosed)

And for those without yeast, making a sourdough starter is really easy. You need flour and water to start it, and more flour to keep it fed. It's like a pet made of dough that you occasionally use to create delicious bread
