My parents, while generally rational, are insanely entitled boomers. My mother has a full pension from public school teaching so they just spend a ton on trips and poo poo. They live in a giant retirement condo (150 units) and everyone else there is an entitled white boomer (or older) too.

Yeah, 27,900 cases on a Thursday and Louisiana and bunch of other states hasn’t even reported yet. It is accelerating. We will be back in April next week. Edit: We May have been around 29-30k if all states had reported today. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 02:31 on Jun 19, 2020 |

a.lo posted:why this a controversy only in the states? it would have been a problem anyway but the health authorities hedged the benefits of masks for the general public against the inability of the us to procure masks for medical professionals. basically the early argument messaging about masks was schizophrenic and was focused on managing consumer behavior for mask hoarding over the actual public benefit of mask adoption. now we're hosed and it became a political issue and were in the coolzone

I cannot loving believe Republicans stripped the governor of the power to declare a shutdown. At what point does it become clear that this is biological terrorism? We're living through the American Holodomor.

We are about to find out what this would have looked like.quote:One study, published last week in the journal Nature, found that if large-scale shutdown policies -- such as ordering people to stay home and closing schools -- were not implemented after the coronavirus pandemic made its way to the United States, there would be roughly 60 million more coronavirus infections across the nation.

It will lead in Red states for a while and then blue states will join it and I don’t know if there will be a meaningful lockdown or if it happens only after everyone is already too afraid to leave their homes.

There will not be any more lockdowns imo. Maybe on a city level if it gets really bad somewhere, but not on a state level and not nationally

Population times infection rate times fatality rate Since March it's been pretty clear we are gonna go with 330 mil x 60-70% so just plug in your guess for fatality rate and get ready

We just had 2 people test positive in the homeless population -- but they don't live at the shelter I work at. Still, population says it all, it isn't like they are quarantined by shelter. Muwhahahhhajaaa They are going to test 300 people and NOW ALL staff has to wear masks. I've been the only one wearing a mask for this entire time, so gently caress you all.

Ahahahahhaanaa our local homeless orgs are facing the unique issue of having money to house people in apartments with cash paid up front, but no apartment managers or landlords will accept them because of credit checks and poo poo lmao, so until we magically find someone willing to house the homeless for FMR they either remain at huge risk in the shelter or camp out until it's discovered and cleared out
