This is gonna kill a minimum of one in a thousand people in the country before all is said and done (probably a lot more than that) and it's remains mind blowing to me that the chud line of 'we just have to learn to live with it' is something that tens of millions of people believe.

My chud cousin that finally got it has been about as big a dipshit about the whole thing as you'd expect from somebody who thinks the whole thing is no big deal.

He went to work sick, stayed long enough to expose everybody, and got sent home.

My mom said he showed up at my grandma's house to go deer hunting this weekend saying it was blown out of proportion because the only symptoms he had was no sense of taste or smell.

I'm skipping out on my birthday this year because I know his whole dumb rear end clan will show up like they did the day after they got back from Florida

where do they expect people to hear about these apps they're supposed to download? are they taking out facebook ads or tv ads?

I heard about it bc I'm subscribed the NYS doh newsletter, I watch almost every daily Cuomo news conference, and I check local reporting for positivity rates of zip codes near me. but I also didn't download it bc I barely leave my apartment.

Yeah, that's assuming the government immediately starts doing the best things it could do to stop the spread and help people. At this point "100 times worse than 9/11" is a hilariously optimistic scenario.

2977 people died in 9/11

USA currently at 224,282 official deaths from COVID

65k deaths to go!

I wear a light cloak, try to optimize carry load, keep a fist aid kit and four masks on me at all times and look like I'm straight out of Vancouver. To be specific, the bits with low-budget post-apocalyptic science fiction.

Inner larper what the poo poo is that. Only conflict left is between going wasteland survivor and full cyber goth.

Yes a fist aid kit, never know when that's coming in handy. gently caress fixin' typos.

Why did they sneak in or why are they not allowed to? They snuck in maybe because they live here normally. 600,000 Kiwis do since you don't need a visa between the two countries.

But they weren't supposed to be allowed to enter the state until are lockdown is over. The federal government is a bunch of chuds and don't care. They're constantly on tv trashing our premier for doing the right thing. Murdoch media does the same. They hate that he beat the virus.

The other thing to note is that they might actually live in Melbourne and were just returning home but we don't know since we don't have a record of who they were, they just flew into Melbourne and immediately left the airport. The premier had to write a letter to the prime minister and ask that border force look up their names and pass that info along so we could check in with them and make sure they were aware of the current lockdown restrictions.
