Hand sanitizer was sold out at the local Wegmans but isopropyl alcohol wasn't (yet). They were starting to run low on some of the generic meds so I made sure to stock up on those. Funniest thing was all the chicken noodle soup being sold out but plenty of the other soups on the shelves.

Yeah explicit or otherwise this is definitely Pete reading the writing on the wall and trying to trade in his run for getting into the good graces of the Party Establishment by clearing the field for Biden. Even if it's not a spot in a Biden administration he'll probably be able to use this to angle for some spot in the DNC down the road. He'll do pretty much anything to leave Indiana forever.

Nick Soapdish posted:And look forward to the fact that if Joe is the nominee and wins we start the whole process going again immediately Lol like he's going to stick to that promise, only thing that's going to keep him from running again is an out in the open health issue. Not totally surprised though, people are getting rattled by coronavirus and the stock market tanking and the majority are going to flock towards the 'safe' option.

Y'all are overlooking Rick Scott as a pretty decent ghoul for 2024, he doesn't have the Never Trump stink and would be totally down with satiating the fascist tendencies of the GOP base if it meant he could loot Medicare and Social Security.

Numbers are going to start climbing quick now that they're finally handing testing over to local authorities. Wouldn't be surprised if there are pre-symptomatic carriers in every major US hub city at this point.

About a week or so ago a 55 year old co-worker came in to work with a face mask after some stateside business travel, said they thought they might have picked something up at the airport. Everyone rightly told them to GTFO and go home to recuperate and not spread whatever they caught. We got an email yesterday notifying us that the co-worker unexpectedly died the previous day, and after talking to some folks today it was apparently due to sudden complications from pneumonia / acute respiratory distress syndrome. As far as anyone knows the person was healthy without any notable risk factors and now it's got people spooked. No word yet on any testing to see if it was just regular influenza vs coronavirus. At least I didn't have any face to face interactions with them in the past few weeks but now I'm glad I've been avoiding big meetings and dousing myself regularly with soap and isopropyl alcohol.

shame on an IGA posted:Trump's dumbass "It's only 530 cases! Thousands die of the flu!" got me curious so I plugged the last few days numbers into a spreadsheet last night and extrapolated the growth rate. Based on the patterns so far outside of China it's doubling every 3-4 days or so - at that rate it'll be around ~100,000 confirmed cases in the US by the 31st with ~2,500-3,000 deaths If there's no significant change it'll be a couple million by mid-April though.

https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1237814760663420929 A little deeper analysis into the whole 'lol young people don't vote' narrative that's taken hold, it looks like a bigger factor was older voters coming out in much larger numbers and swamping any increases in the youth vote. For a big chunk of the Dem electorate Joe is the 'safe' candidate, especially among older voters, and I think that looking back the the late Feb stock market collapse and breakout of COVID-19 will end up being identified as key drivers in swinging things in Biden's favor. Still remains to be seen whether that fear will be enough to overcome Trump in November though, and it's not a great basis for a long-term governing coalition.

Don't need to convince employers to adopt WFH/quarantine procedures if the companies goes under first.

The Villages also has something like ~70,000 senior residents with a median age of ~70. It's like a giant live-in Disney World for rich retirees, and pretty much a ready made buffet for Covid.
