My dad's in-laws think this is a great time to come up from Iowa to go snowmobiling and keep telling my stepmom that it's all overblown.

It's almost funny that pretty much the only population vulnerable to this thing (olds) are also the ones most likely to think it's all hype, no big deal, etc. I guess they have to think that way or the cognitive dissonance of their years of voting against any socialized healthcare or worker protections and for cutting all government funding and safety nets will catch up to them.

Apparently real estate agents down in Boca are getting driven around the twist by old New Yorkers wanting to escape south, so some old farts are worried.

People think the virus won't be able to thrive in hot areas. They are basing this thinking on literally nothing apart from "flu season is the winter".

My old man has cancer and has mostly self isolated for the last 4+ months due to chemo... He's good. Me? I'm pretty sure I caught the kung flu and it loving sucks. Home isolation for two weeks at minimum.

Was getting prepackaged gelato to go and there was an elderly woman in line who was upset they weren't giving out tastings/samples today. I mean, there's already a confirmed case in a nursing home here but roll those dice, lady. Had a coworker bitching that the local gym was canceling classes and observing an occupancy maximum set by the "big brother" governor. I said "yeah,what an rear end in a top hat. Who does he think he is, a doctor?" he is https://www.wtvr.com/gov-northam-declares-public-health-emergency-to-enforce-10-patron-limit egyptian rat race fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Mar 18, 2020 |

It's gonna be a fight to have isolation measures persist into the summer. Everyone's gonna have grown bored with it and want to hang out in the sun and have barbecues etc. Even having heard of gramps dying sans ventilator in the hallway of / tent outside a hospital in April / May probably won't prevent that.

Yes, a joke where you combine the word "flu" with the words "kung fu", which has absolutely nothing to do with China, is less racist than calling it "the Chinese flu" Sure
