Louisiana was at 103 confirmed cases one week ago.

Today, we're at 837.

Hospitals are begging Congress for cash or else they may close.

We should be afraid.

I hate to get political in a time like this, but goddamn, if this doesn't wake people up to the horrors of privatized healthcare then we are ****ed.

This is definitely a wake up call for the voters.

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ that's what i've been thinking, too

edit: forgot that two "^" makes a face

If this isn't it, then they are truly doomed

the UK is on lockdown and greggs is shutting, this has been the worse birthday ever

Just gonna drop this here

coronavirus but it's a brutal deathcore song

The factory I work in is closed for two weeks (or longer), so I'm being forced to stay home, while still being paid. I don't mind making $800 a week for doing literally nothing. My mom has lung problems, so I can't go outside and risk getting it and passing it onto her, so I'm spending my time in the basement. I wouldn't mind if this became my permanent job, but I don't think the company can afford to pay all 4,000+ workers forever, sadly. It'll probably end up being closed for a month at the rate things are going, but as long as they keep paying me, that's okay. I'm not worried about getting the virus because I avoid people like the plague. According to our Prime Minister, staying home and avoiding crowds saves lives, and makes you a hero, so I've been a hero for 28 years, and I didn't even know.

Myself personally I've accepted that theres a good chance of me getting this. We're an "essential" business so I'm still working every day. However, I also get majorly sick about 5 times a year and minimally sick like once a month.

So 3 weeks ago when warnings went out, places started running out of supplies and there was a major attack at a grocery store. There are still fights at the grocery stores almost daily, but usually minor.
2 weeks ago when some people started taking it seriously, our business took a hit. We only have 6 cases in my county, but all the counties surrounding us have 30+ and are on strict lockdown. Our business right now is only making 1 3rd of the sales it should be, and a lot of businesses are either closed or struggling to stay open. So far. We've been very fortunate. Of course, stopping the spread and letting people heal, making them stay home for 2 or 3 weeks would cost the business a lot in those weeks of being closed, but people not dying is more important, and overall we'll lose more if we keep going on like this instead of taking action. However, GA Governor Brian Kemp sucks ***. I did not vote for him, and everyone who did regrets it. He is doing nothing, he said he'll let the individual counties decide what to do, but they're all doing such vastly different things. He said its up to each individual citizen to stop the spread, and that if they want things to get better its their responsibility. Sir. You are the governor. It is literally your responsibility, if you want your state to heal, you have to take action. Literally what do you think your job is? B**** a** prolonging this. People WILL NOT stay home willingly, its human nature. Our state has 13000+ cases

This is the same govenor, who campaigned using promises of deportation, driving a bus that said "follow me to Mexico " on it

This just in: our president is a moron. (Who could have guessed that one, huh?)

The businessman would put economic health over the well-being of his citizens. Are you surprised?
This man just denied NY state 15,000 ventilators for coronavirus patients as we've run out. Apparently they're "too expensive" and "we don't need them". Now our mortality rate has accelerated because we lack support for those in critical condition who lack the machinery to literally keep people breathing.

Yet he thinks all this will be over in a week and he wants to lax social distancing and get everyone back to work because "this costs too much". Literally fuming

Get off your high horse and contribute something meaningful to the topic.

Let me rephrase that.

What in God's name is this man thinking that killing millions of people will help the economy. Nonetheless people in NYC, mostly workers are ****ed. This man is delusional and he's only going to make the economy worse. Since he's known for going bankrupt in the past. It's time for him to make this whole country go bankrupt. If you vote for him this upcoming election I never want to associate with somebody voting for a murderer.

edit: i just saw iceclaw's comment. i legitimately don't like trump, but i think i'll be using a different phrase from now on

Trump is quite literally one of the dumbest people I've seen.

im not the biggest trump hater (indifferent) but yeah hes doing pretty bad with this whole outbreak thing. like wanting people to go back to work because they "want to" is just inaccurate to how people with jobs feel. they want to work but more importantly they want to work in safe conditions. people dont want to work at all right now because of sanitary laws being so loose and pretty much nonexistent.

but apparently he just got finished talking with people about getting more ventilators after not wanting to buy more. so thats a thing

Thanks for the clarification iceclaw

Cuz it's not the first time we've brought up posting that. It's kind of a canned response.

Well, between US' delayed response and "little flu" in my country, there's a guarantee that tourists will just start re-infecting countries that just got out of trouble. Urgh.

I'm so glad I got out of Georgia. I'm in Louisiana now and JBE is handling this so much better.

Bless the states/counties pushing penalties for public gatherings despite mitigation efforts. Some people are just too lax about the whole thing

Speaking of 45....

Not to toss in my two cents where it's not wanted, but im going to be honest: I had decent hopes that he'd at least do this one thing right.

But when I heard the words "Wouldn't it be great to have the churches full on Easter" I was just...Dude...Bro...Broski....Brohemian Rhapsody ..... How idiotic can someone who runs a country be. I knew he was **** but I was hoping this would be where someone proves we're not all ****ed.

So much for that! He's going to wind up killing millions for the sake of a holiday that's so commercialized it's more about a rabbit with a thing for eggs than it is about a religion. I know people love their Jesus but it's a little much to try to send so many people to him.

uh? hate to burst your bubble, but they’ve always been mating? like they have a specialized breeding program and everything.

the problem with panda breeding is that there’s only a two-day window in which they can actually mate and even then there’s only a small chance that they’ll conceive. on top of all that, pandas will apparently show signs of pregnancy regardless of they’re actually pregnant or not.

so they might be doing the nasty-but it could mean absolutely nothing.
