So we have a press conference yesterday to announce absolutely nothing, then another today to announce absolutely nothing except the closure of bars and restaurants. It's a start I guess but meh.
Anyway my gig tonight is now cancelled. That's fine with me, I fucking hate singing home for a rest anyway

My country (India) has found the foolproof way to stop the spread of the virus.
We just arent testing a lot of people. No tests. No positives. No Virus. USSR aint got shit on us bro.

Public businesses where you get a lot of foot traffic and chance for infection spread. If say you're doing one on one care work and neither of you is currently infected and are maintaining social isolation other wise you should be fine. Plenty of people who live at home still require care workers in attendance.

Leet Spain.
Ain't some countries forcing a early lockdown are doing more harm than good?
I mean, if the hospitals are not overburden or close to be, there is no need to a complete lockdown as it won't help to treat the group risk infected. (Which def. is not the case of stpain, Italy etc.)
Another thing, this crisis is more about supply than offer. So I doesn't matter if government injects trillions in the economy if no one is going out buying and no one is manufacturing. What we should do now is prepare the economy to be in a better position when the economy begin to warm up again. Or we won't have many healhy business around.

Get this shit you savages:
I am using this due to Psoriasis for years and it's better than any toilet paper.
I ordered one for my new bathroom but the builder is stuck in Norway. May have to figure out how to install it myself at home. Had a look on Youtube and it doesn't seem an impossible task thankfully.

Reports from Oregon:
My brother said he went to Walmart yesterday morning and there was a single National Guard at the entrance, not doing anything or saying anything and that only a few other shoppers were inside, with many of the shelves empty. - He's been known to tell tall tales so I cannot confirm.
There was about 40% less traffic on the way to work yesterday. It's still a little relaxed here in my county but still feels eerie. I also listened to the FFVI world of ruin song on my drive. Expecting there to be less today.

The part with the mutations is completely out of touch with reality. So it's just a nice attempt to fuck with people. But apart from that some of it was true anyway, so respect if it was really posted like that.

Viruses mutate all the time. Thats why we have to make a new vaccine for influenza every year. I'm not sure if coronaviruses are mutate faster/stronger, but somewhere I read that between China and Italy outbreak the virus had mutated already over 13 times.

I'm not talking about the 0815 basics that everyone knows about viruses. I meant the "when the virus reaches Brazilian bats it mutates and becomes much more dangerous" part. It was just too much. The guy posting this should have left that out.

Well idk about that lol
but something just came to my mind regarding sumemr and another potential high risk situation: Mosqitoes
In Summer lots and lots of mosqitoes will fly around transferring the virus from one human to another...is that possible?

Very unlikely that this will ever happen. It would be a whole new virus. The chance is almost zero.

It could be cancer caused by HIV and Ebola at the same time. You'll probably experience multiple organ failure in the next 60 minutes.

I've been feeling sniffles and feverish all week from anxiety alone I would not take it serious, I would walk to my nearest drive-thru testing if that was a thing. Stay calm and download Animal Crossing.

It's never been a better time to be a gamer. Ori, AC, full Xbox reveal, two week gaming holiday. I haven't played Rocket League all week unfortunately, been busy with home office work. But I'm imagining a heaven of no queues and easy wins against all the kids off school.

True.
And not sure why everyone is flipping out. I mean, there's a Spanish Flu, and nobody is shitting their pants about that. Because of it maybe, but...

As someone who suffers from health anxiety I can confirm that you can worry yourself into a fever. Also, allergies can cause a fever.

I would be enormously surprised if the xbox came out before all this shit calmed down. Not an ideal time to be releasing any product.

New York governor: We have "no plan whatsoever" to quarantine New York City
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there are no plans to quarantine New York City, despite rumors and fears.
"We hear New York City is going to quarantine itself — that is not true," Cuomo said at a news conference, adding that cities would need to get state approval to make such orders.
"We have no interest whatsoever — and no plan whatsoever — to quarantine any city," he said.
Earlier today, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he is "absolutely considering" ordering the city's residents to shelter in place during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Right now we have taken a series of steps to reduce the number of people who are circulating around," he said. "But we're going to look at all other options, and it could get to that for sure."

As the coronavirus continues to spread, millions are under lockdown in Europe as some Asian countries close schools and non-essential businesses, and curb travel. Follow here for the latest news and live updates.

A couple of entirely random thoughts circulating in my tiny brain.
1. We really ought to be going to some kind of rationing system sooner rather than later, as we did in WW2. However, how the fuck do you implement that in the world of online? That time a voucher physically existed and you'd take it to the shop and be allowed your purchase, but that's not feasible with online shopping - the potential to double-spend tokens is huge.
2. We can't get to hairdressers under lockdown. We're all going to be hairy motherfuckers with hair to our ankles or we're going to be doing it DIY - not sure which is scarier. My wife has made it clear that I won't be allowed near her hair!

The UK government's chief scientific adviser is saying it will be a 'good outcome' if the UK deaths total less than 20,000.
Wow.

So, fewer deaths than yearly pneumonia average?
Yeah, considering the supposed deadliness of the virus and the extreme measures taken worldwide, 20k deaths would be a great outcome.

Do they have a "little italy" there? Like here in so cal we have korea town. Is there something similar there? If so, wonder if family and stuff flew in before all the lockdowns went in to place.

Girlfriend works in events, finally got the grim news. Voluntary redundancy on the table from now until 10am tomorrow when they start making cuts. 10-15 people losing their jobs (about 1/3 of the work force), everyone who stays will have shared responsibilities and a 20% pay cut. She's putting a case together now to fight for her job tomorrow. Grim.

New answers from the Doc.
Any concern with nasal steroid sprays like Flonase? Thanks!
What's your thoughts on asthma meds such as albuterol or symbicort if your showing signs.
Im generally not a hypochondriac but I've had a tightness in my chest today and have been needing to take extra deep breaths since it started. Early 30s. Good general health.
Worth noting that I had a physical Friday and nurse practitioner didn't comment on lung exam. Flu and TBAP adminiatered(I posted on the thread Saturday about that). Lab results were fine. LDL barely above optimal. White blood count a little low. Creatinine slightly elevated.
Slight cough/congestion that I've attributed to seasonal allergies. Needing to clear throat and the like.
Breathing/tightness has not prevented me from ADL but it's there. Any chance this could also be allergy related? At what point would you become worried and to call someone?
I generally get allergies this time of year but not asthmatic responses.
I use Spiriva and Advair for COPD. Any concerns about continuing to use these two inhalers?
Finally his update for the day

I feel so bad for my friends back home who are in hospitality. I worked in the industry for 10 years and by a stroke of luck recently left to take up a government job overseas where my salary and position is protected until this craziness is all over. But so many people I know in the restaurant, bar and hotel trade back home have already been laid off or had their hours slashed to unlivable standards.
