monkeytennis posted:Not looking too great in Beijing atm Nah. The lockdown is strict, and that’s good. The infection numbers themselves are like any medium American city’s. California had seven counties post confirmed infection numbers above one hundred on Tuesday. In Florida, there were eight counties above that number. Those are for one day, and none of these places have contact tracing nearly as thorough as China’s.

Guy pulled mask off my face at store, I instinctively punched him in the throat. (self.legaladvicecanada)quote:I was grocery shopping this morning when a guy came up to me and started going off about the flu or something, I couldn't understand him very well, and then pulled my mask off. I instinctively punched him, which because of his height I got him in the throat and he fell down. I yelled at him not to grab stuff off of people's faces even if there wasn't a pandemic. Then I calmed down for a second and realized I assaulted someone and panicked and grabbed my mask and left the store, which in hindsight may have been a very bad idea.

Americans will just get used to this like they’ve grown accustomed to gun violence and being bankrupted for wanting medical care, and I’ll just have to survive out of my house until a vaccine becomes available. And at that point I’ll have to move. When every.person in the entire country has lost 1 friend or family member to this virus. It has to hit real close to home for everyone for them to accept an invisible danger is real. Humanity is hosed.

You can still fly to the US from most countries, and if you're a US resident or a family member of one then there's basically no travel restriction. But just lol at considering flying to america right now

Fartbox posted:Can you fly to America yet? I can't find any updated info about it I got an email from the state department yesterday: quote:Visa services are still suspended. The travel restrictions from Schengen countries to the United States under Presidential Proclamation 9984 still apply. Individuals who meet one of the categorial exemptions under the PP 9984 (i.e. spouse of U.S. citizen/LPR, parent of U.S. citizen/LPR child, etc.) need to apply for a B1/B2 visa in order to document that they meet the exemption. If you are planning to travel to the U.S., please visit the CDC's Website for Travelers. So if you're not coming from China, Iran or Europe then maybe? I have a nephew who's studying in the states and we talked to someone in the Border Patrol on the phone and they said they didn't even know if he'd be allowed back in if he came home over his summer holidays. So it seems like nobody really knows anything about when all this might change. edited formatting and added links that weren't pasted on my phone found out that the state department forces two spaces after a period using code:greazeball fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Jun 17, 2020 |

Everyone is loving aghast at the lovely decisions that the US has made and are frantic with worry about how badly the US people are about to be hosed over. But the US leaders actively decided to sacrifice tens of thousands of people to minimize the corporations' stock losses. The poor countries didn't get that choice.

The US is just one example, any country that experienced a large outbreak has experienced a significant increase in excess deaths over a normal year.

I said that other transmissible disease rates have gone down because of the restrictions.

Humanity is hosed. There’s already people posting that someone close died and “well, that’s life, it was probably something else, the doctors just said it might be Covid, we have to continue living and going out and they were weak anyway etc” Politizicing health issues, maybe not a great idea

Doesn't help that meatpackers in the USA are largely poor and often undocumented workers who can't afford to take a day off work, let alone get healthcare, lest they end up in a concentration camp.

QuarkJets posted:You should get that sentence tattooed on your forehead. Not sure which one of us is reading the charts wrong, but that says a high of 39% excess in one week in April, followed by 37,32 and 28. With May being even lower at 22-15. Still big numbers, but not 30-50% from April-May. Quite literally 15-39% in April-May. We shouldn't stop protesting. Most people I am with haven't even gotten more than a cough or a runny nose in the weeks we have been out and about.

remember when we all said "how the gently caress is fake wrestling an essential service??"quote:In another sign that professional – and collegiate, while we're at it – quote:Alarmingly, this news broke right around the same time that WWE issued an edict banning face masks at tapings for wrestlers and production staff, according to veteran wrestling journalist and insider Dave Meltzer, telling employees that, if you want to wear a mask, just stay at home. Wrestling reporter Bryan Alvarez confirmed this news on Twitter. https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2020/06/16/wwe-suspends-orlando-tapings-after-wrestler-tests-positive-for-covid-19

So in the far future when (if) the president starts admitting things are getting worse again he's going to blame it all on China... again. Since they have a few new cases now, anything that happens here will be a direct result from GYNA.

boar guy posted:AEW just has some of their jobbers/agents be the crowd for their live shows. it's worked fantastically well It's great because sometimes the heel wrestlers typically poo poo on the crowd. Chris Jericho calling people by name and trashing them is great stuff. WWE however has this weird way of making the show work. When all this started and they got the greenlight to operate in Jacksonville, employees in the stands had to duck and hide when the camera would show up in their direction, and all the wrestlers that had a promo to shoot had to pretend a full crowd is there, right down to then pausing for a crowd pop AEW is embracing the reality of how surreal all this poo poo is, and WWE are just straight denying it. I'm sure there's an allegory in there somewhere.
