Also this is actually Carl Zha's family (for the China thread goons), he is a minor tweeter celebrity.

If this were me/my family I would lie and say there were people at the party I didn't know who may have been in China.

If this gets even mildly out of control in the US we are going to see some poo poo.

I don't get the Ted Cruz reference.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...and-his-family/

When Ted and Heidi Cruz returned from a honeymoon in the Caribbean, Ted went to the store by himself. When Ted arrived home, Heidi was surprised to discover that he had purchased 100 cans of Campbell's Chunky Soup.

"Different kinds," Ted Cruz said. "Some chicken, some beef, you know. ..."

The next morning Heidi Cruz woke up before her husband, drove to the store and returned the soup. She called her mother, who asked if she planned to cook. Heidi said both she and Ted are terrible cooks. So she promised to go back and re-buy the soup.

Apparently Ted Cruz still likes soup. In a "25 things you don't know about me" with US Weekly, Cruz wrote, "When I’m away from the family, in Washington, D.C., my dinner is a can of soup. I have dozens in the pantry."

A friend in San Francisco said that people evacuated the building next to his because it was discovered that someone there had two degrees of separation from someone who had covid. The workplace asked that person to work remotely, and that turned into panic and evacuations. People getting twitchy out there.

Employers are taking much more extreme measures than the government. That's where we are now as a society.

Employers who can still exploit a workforce working from home. On top of that tech workers see themselves as a privileged class and might get unruly if they think their employer isn't looking out for their safety.

Oh yeah, to be clear, if you're engaged in any sort of customer-facing or physical labor position without union protection you will be immediately sacrificed.

Hey losers. How's it going in pandemic land? I'm posting from the only country in the world that has succesfully contained this, the Netherlands. No, don't mind that number that doubled yesterday, that doesn't mean anything. In fact, after seeing that number, we can say with confidence that we were already expecting that number. Anyway, none of you losers is ever going to see what succesful containment like we have looks like. Well, actually, you could come see what it looks like, anyone from anywhere in the world can travel to the Netherlands to come and see unimpeded, really.

Protip for the beleaguered Dutch government: if you don't test anyone then the bad number can't go up. Just a bit of American ingenuity you can put to use. No need to thank me.

Well unlike the US they took this poo poo really seriously and actually locked down their border with China and started a nationwide movement to suppress any transmission. It's a huge setback for their efforts.

The best apocalypse handguns to own are going to be .380 / 9mm because the ammo is insanely abundant and even a goon can carry 100s of rounds in their Nintendo fanny pack.

.44 and .357 is going to be hard to come by unless you made your own stockpile, but they will be heavy and burdensome.

The optimum rifle rounds will be .223 and .556

Shotguns are a terrible choice because they're close range and you don't want to primary that unless you're in an indoor defensive position.

Some of this information may be inaccurate so I have the upper hand when my gayboy berzerkers descend upon your goon fort.

OK but what's the coolest ammo to fantasize about using in this scenario. Let's cut out the bullshit.
