The people on the best position to survive this are the ones who buy a bunch of food at the store but then it just sits in the pantry or fridge forever because they're lazy and just keep ordering takeout

Seems like they're quite likely to catch something from their overworked and underpaid delivery driver.

i could actually see it tbh, there's probably some actuarial work that shows that better testing leads to more informed outcomes which leads to overall savings.

My favorite part of all this is, that for weeks they've been saying it's not a big deal, then all of a sudden they started mashing the panic button in the last two days as they realized that you can't just tax cut your way out of this

I think Trump catching the corona changed a lot of minds (well, perhaps one) on the severity of the problem.

Hotels being commandeered will affect people who live in hotels for years because they are on the periphery of homelessness, and they don't have credit for a whole year's apartment lease, so they have to pay in smaller installments at a higher rate. Most of those hotels will be going underwater soon anyway, and I'm not against the idea, but I wanted to point it out anyway

True, but I suspect it's not going to be the econolodge out in the industrial district that will be commandeered, but rather the six hotels by the conference center siting at 5% occupancy because randomcon20 was cancelled.

that was explained by the fact that the ny school board feeds over 100k kids who are homeless and without schools running they'd all be at risk of starving

Pretty sure that's an excuse, our schools are being closed but they're promising to still make free meals available for the kids who need them. In the summer they set up free meals in the parks, no means testing needed.

Haven't heard Trump speak in a very long time and holy poo poo, what a piece of human garbage. The constant blaming of everyone else for his own mistakes and the constant self-congratulations for minor poo poo that he somehow couldn't manage to gently caress up is insane. Also, he is rude, condescending, evasive and I don't think he really understands the questions. He comes off like a slightly broken Chinese room that only returns vaguely related gibberish answers.

Yeah, Blindsight was a good read.

Children's museum- closed. Science & Industry museum- closed. Schools- closed (although free meals will be served still, fyi De Blasio). Kids are going to go a little stir-crazy soon.
