    Of course we should have. Everything should have just been put on pause and everyone go on hard lockdown. Everything before the pandemic will always seem alarmist. Everything after seems inadequate. Not a single country handled this well, not a single state handled this well. Relative to each...

    I'm listening to a news report my aunts listening to in the kitchen. They are saying people have made cards to show businesses they are exempt from any ordinance requiring a mask. It says stuff like they are protected under the disabilities act and shit like that. They say they look super legit...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    When the coronavirus first emerged, the world took it as seriously as we could expect. Most people understood the threat and were not primarily concerned about the repercussions of a lock down. Now, cases are quickly rising to april numbers, but this time the gravity of the situation seems to be...

    Yeah, I havent talked to my uncle so I can't tell if things are getting worse from his perspective. Given the recent data and local reports that hospitals are deferring patients I couldn't imagine its still calm and steady. I do remember deferring patients from the ER before, but I don't...

    Ha, keep reading, it turns into a roller coaster. You can see how the emotions start rising as this thing goes on, then I believe you can see confusion and apathy set in. I went back and did what you suggested a few days ago and you're right. This is definitely going to be something to look back...

    So at a short glance again theyre saying the structure of the virus is more rigid thus increasing its efficacy of penetrating its host cell. Since we could see the rise of the mutation I have to ask what other changes has the virus made and what affects do these systems have as a whole. The...

    I looked all over on the johns hopkins site I linked and couldn't find anything having to do with age. That information would definitely be good to have and it surprised me that it might not be there.

    I was under the impression that the US was doing absolutely horrible. Looking at the deaths per 100k the US is around 36 whereas the UK is at 64 according to johns hopkins with a few other countries in between. The case fatality rate for the US is 5.3% whereas its 14% in the UK. That really...

    Yeah seeing that it's back in NZ is demoralizing to say the least. And no, I didn't read the full press release as I was just focused on what you had quoted, but I went back and read it. Complacency set in here maybe a few weeks in so I don't ever see our country unified behind this. I really...

    I hope so too. It just confuses me though you know? You hear thousands are infected and hospital ICU beds are at 80% capacity, but I mentioned to someone earlier that some hospitals maintain that rate year round due to everything else. My uncle's telling me things are fine and slow in the...

    Yeah I dont think they have either. And you're right, there is no... idk how to put this, scientific standard? It's how I've been approaching this from the beginning. I knew they were saying don't wear masks in the beginning because they wanted to preserve them for hospital workers. From what I...

    It's not a surprise to anyone, but the decision has been made to press forward regardless. Like I said, the most we will see going forward is maaayybeeee a miami and tampa lockdown. I'm telling you, had the media handled this differently there might be more sympathy, but while parts of the...

    who here has the biggest, richest hangar? GO

    Okay fine. You guys got me. Yes, I have the most biggerest and glorious fleet anyone outside the UEE has ever seen. My fleet is so massive it can create its own gravity without a generator. I can land every ship on yella and it would throw it out of orbit. We dont go through wormholes, they go...

    If you pre-order Star Wars Squadrons....

    EA? Yeah I'm gonna give it a minute. Getting hyped for anything from EA at this point is like a woman going back to her abusive husband in hopes "things can change". Then you add that lucasfilm has had its hand in it as well? Wew. Not like they ever burned anyone.

    Ah, yeah. For me (I can't speak for everyone here) Im used to hearing "fired" for the former, and "let go" for the latter. When I hear "made redundant" its usually in the context of " X jobs have been made redundant and those people had to be let go". I was reading what you were saying as "HSBC...
