A New Jersey woman gave false name when she was tested for the coronavirus. The test came back positive, and now no one can find her.

The woman was tested for the new coronavirus at East Orange General Hospital on Saturday and the results came back positive. But when health officials went to her home in Newark, they didn’t find her. She had given a false name and address.

Now, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka pleaded in a video address for her to contact her health provider and go back to the hospital. Newark officials are also submitting an application to get a court order to force the hospital to provide them with video and any other information about this woman’s hospital visit, Baraka said.

“Because you gave a false name, because you gave a false address, you put yourself and many, many people at risk. Not only just in the City of Newark, but all of the surrounding cities in this state as well,” Ras Baraka said in the video. “We are searching for you and we are looking for you.”

lmao tomorrow we're going to get some amazing press releases from the city that Oscar T. Grouch and Mr. Bird are wanted for questioning after a positive test result

In seattle our socialist council member, a noted blowhard and grandstander, said that we should nationalize boeing and use the factories to make buses. At the time I thought it was idiotic, but now, maybe it's the way to go. Especially if the buses are full electric
the thing about socialists screaming their heads off like a nervous wreck is that they think the world is already really dysfunctional and messed up. now we're in a situation when that is just obviously the case for everybody so proposals like this don't seem radical, really.

one of the most disconcerting things about all of this is cspam is reliably six weeks to six months ahead of the curve and is, if not always right, pretty good about at least laying out the potential outcomes of most news cycles

but beyond knowing that millions of americans are gonna die, no one here has any loving idea what things might look like in six weeks lol

I don't think you can. I think there's a good chance in 2 years you're going to see a feel good story on 60 minutes about the one nursing home that managed to keep locked tight and dodge the whole thing.

The us has around 330,000,000 people

Let us assume half of them get infected

So you have 165,000,000 sick

Under good conditions the disease has a death rate of 2%

That's 3,300,000 dead

Under conditions where the hospitals aren't overloaded to poo poo

If you want to save money, hi-point pistols are notoriously heavy, ugly, and relatively difficult to disassemble for cleaning, but are reliable and extremely cheap. They cost $100-175 new, vs $300-500 for glocks

well yeah, but they can be had for less and I was going for a reasonable qualify/performance for budget + not actively unpleasant to use kind of thing (since it's wayyyyy more likely to be used for the occasional range day than to deal with a coronavirus-induced home invasion)

there are all sorts of other options that may be more appropriate/desirable (I opted for a DA/SA CZ), but you're not going to be too wrong with either of those
