This got brought up in the Disney thread, but the Chinese Disney parks seem to be down for the duration. If someone already dropped it at WDW or Disneyland, poo poo's gonna spread pretty quick. Any of the amusement parks, really, in Orlando or LA. No matter how clean they are, it's impossible to disinfect at that level of commitment.

Unpopular opinion - this will fizzle out regardless if drastic quarantine measures are taken or not because the infection rate is actually much, much higher than reported but the death rate is accurate, making this less deadly than models state. Please tell me what a moron I am for literally wishing death on people by saying these words out loud, shower me in graphs, etc. I know I'm going against the grain but this happens every single year. For every single infectious disease. There's charts and graphs from scientists that show why this one is the big one and it just never happens. It's already petering out in China of all places.

American deaths won't reach six figures and I'll :toxx: to it

If anything kills enough it eventually fizzles out.

This is not the yearly sickness that flops around.

Hi fellow GA goon.

The Athens GA mayor has issued a "call to shelter in place" but it isn't mandatory. He also announced a ban on restaurants and bars having more than 10 patrons at once. All the local parks are closed too. Last I heard from friends in Athens there are 8 confirmed cases in the county.

So glad we have an idiot election-stealing governor in charge.

Hello fellow GA goons. https://www.facebook.com/groups/augustatoday/permalink/2810417235703260/ Augusta has 9 cases and growing. This is Augusta only. Plant Vogtle likely has tons. Fort Gordon has released no information but is holding multiple soldiers and not letting them go home per a friend in the hospital attending them. Good chance we're about go explode over here.

Police should not have the power to force people to stay in their homes, so I'm glad there's no enforcement policy (in regions that I know of).
Some people will not self-isolate. That's just reality. No one, especially here, is going to change that with their logic and reason.
The people who do self-isolate are measurably helping themselves and others, and that will have to suffice.

It won't and people will die because of it.

First recorded compassionate use of a drug currently in clinical trials remdesivir with good results. Very good documentation of the day by day slide of the virus. I'm sure its been posted it's from March 5th but just in case.

This very well could just be a one off, but if you have someone sick from this people need to know.

The studies are great. The problem is that studies aren't going to save people dying right now. And a lot of people who don't want to believe this is as scary as it is are citing them as proof it can be cured by a pill.

This is largely because they are idiots.

What the gently caress do I do here? She’s pitching fits about me “telling her how to live her life.” I’m honestly thinking about calling her facility and needling them about telemedicine/nonessential personnel.
