bollig posted:Switzerland is sort of botching this. The Federal government had a press conference and shut businesses and stuff. And have really tried to emphasize "stay home" but are in no way enforcing it. The total number of cases is unknown because they rely on the cantons to report. There are like 3 different official tallies. It is astounding how many old people are out and about. This country certainly has a "meh I'll be fine attitude" which otherwise gives confidence but couple with "well I've got to live my life" means just a slow reaction to this thing. looks like there are several other smaller counties in EU doing essentially the same thing. locking down but with so many exceptions. got to wonder if it is but just going to end up making things worse by starting the economic damage earlier and making everybody even more complacent.

Ralph Crammed In posted:One of our neighbors asked in group chat if anyone had any eye protection goggles like for home projects or fireworks protection for her husband to use, who is a doctor. So it's not just America that is woefully under-equipped for this. yeah, it's a massive problem because most of the worlds production is in China. so once China shutdown everybody was scrambling for supply.

I work for a medical device manufacturer and the factory is running like clockwork without all the office staff on site. granted production is about a quarter of normal but staff levels have been reduced accordingly. turns out if the operators are left to get on with their jobs they are actually quite good at them. certainly feels like at least some of the absent staff make negative contributions by disrupting others.

in an alternative reality where the virus leaked from a lab and China admitted it there would be a theory of instead came from a wild animal. with the exact same people arguing for the conspiracy and using it as an excuse to hate on the Chinese.

Blistex posted:Every time Trump makes a point of telling the media he talked with another world leader (usually in the context that he was sharing his invaluable advice), that leader should make a point of tweeting back the next day that no such conversation occurred (even if it did). they don't want his attention. they are busy exploiting his incompetence to lessen the US influence on the world to their advantage.
