Where do you think money comes from?

This is the first time we have a modern time crisis similar to a world war, obviously there will be great loss, but what they are trying to do is pretty much if everything stops, it will minimize the need for money. If loans stop, if you dont pay gas/water/rent/social security/taxes (which is what they are doing in France, and Madeira as well), you have no loss, you arent making any profit, but you're not incurring in heavy loss because you are not paying your fixed costs.

Whatever we do, will change history and will result, in a long term, on a very positive note, this is a real challenge, this will require creative thinking in order to fix a problem of this magnitude, we cant look at this like we look at all other things, and how we usually fix issues.

I'm taking a PS5 break

Im watching it and I think the Coronavirus press conference might be more exciting at this point

I'm in a hospital in TX today and some hospital staff just came through the waiting rooms turning all TVs away from news channels saying they were not allowed to have news channels playing. That's pretty disturbing.

Honestly probably smart.

The media is disgusting.

I switched to WH feed. Cerny is a boring cunt and DF posted the specs. They’re not showing games.

yeah he is seriously boring not really selling me on this without games
I am sure all of that is hot shit but boring

maybe I'll use my check on TP after all maybe a bidet

Well if they'd said that as they did it, I'd have laughed and agreed. But this is a state run hospital, so it's pretty weird.

It’s a hospital. If you’re there you’re probably in rough shape. You don’t need more bad news.

Hé can’t say it’s a hoax anymore so he is accusing China (even if China must react because it’s not the first time).

He never said the Coronavirus was a hoax, just that the Democrats attacking his administration for mishandling things was their "next hoax." I feel so lame for doing damage control for Trump. The guy lies enough to not need to make up more bullshit to attribute to him.

Nothing wrong with calling it a Chinese virus. That's where it fucking came from.

Polititards gonna Polititard

I wanna know when it's gonna be ok to call it the plague. It's a funny word. It is a plague now, isn't it. But the word sounds inherently racist, like from a bygone time.

I'm gonna start calling it the plague. Similar to Islam is right about women, it's gonna cause cognitive dissonance.

Trumps response to the Chinese Virus was *Chef's Kiss*. Makes me like him even more.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

Exactly, it’s not his fault, it’s the Chineses.
Hé can’t say it’s a hoax anymore so he is accusing China (even if China must react because it’s not the first time).
He doesn’t want to be blamed for anything.
He is perfect.
What a fucking joke.

The Chinese could have not tried to hide it. It originated in China. It is a Chinese virus.

Half way through the day already at 10k new cases not sure. Refreshing for a guy like betrayal but not for me.

I'm the wrong guy to talk about hope. All you have to do is click to the tracker and scroll down the list and see what the future holds.
At some point all of those countries with +10 cases might reach Spain or Italy levels if they don't get it together.

Hopefully we are learning faster on how to avoid the trend.

Reading about alot of people stuck abroad on their vacation spots complaining they can't get home.


Horrible situation, not downplaying that, but, maybe, just maybe you should have paid attention the last three weeks?

You are looking at them with optimism bias. We are going to cross or get really close to 20k “new” cases today.

Trump claims calling coronavirus the "China virus" is not racist
From CNN's Betsy Klein

President Trump was pressed Wednesday on why he is calling coronavirus the “Chinese Virus,” amid instances of bigotry against Asian-Americans.

He did not indicate that he will stop calling it that, and claimed that he is using the term because China tried to blame the virus on US soldiers.

“Cause it comes from China. It’s not racist at all, no, not at all. It comes from China, that’s why. I want to be accurate,” Trump said.
Pressed again, he said, “I have great love for all of the people from our country, but as you know China tried to say at one point… that it was caused by American soldiers. That can’t happen, it’s not gonna happen, not as long as I’m president. It comes from China.”

Italian official warns "soon" they won't be able to assist those who get sick
From CNN’s Sharon Braithwaite in London

Gov. Attilio Fontana of Lombardy, Italy, made another appeal to the people: "You must not go out, you have to stay at home."

"Unfortunately the numbers of the contagion are not decreasing, they continue to be high. Soon we will not be able to give an answer to those who get sick," the governor said.

Fontana then made a plea to Lombardy citizens.
"We are asking you to make a sacrifice in order to save lives. Every time you leave home it's s a risk for you and others," said Fontana, adding that if people continue not to comply with the restriction he will ask the government to implement "even stricter measures," the governor said.

• Allergy season, so coughs, sniffles, and sneezes are all over the place

Also, picking your nose, rubbing your eyes, fingering your cheek, thumbing your ass, scratching your meatus.. all it takes is an infected doing one of the above and touching a doorknob.

Even being a hardcore libertarian, one needs to put that aside to see what can be done right now to reach the most efficient solution.

After things are solved, we can resume studying the best models, but right now is not the time for that. I wish people understood this.

Agreed but people are hard up about government assistance of any kind because "it's not in the constitution". Mfw.

Edit:

Holy shit +1000 cases in one day in NYC this is getting hairy.
