Great, internet and cable have been out since about 2:30 and my Verizon service has been very shoddy

This is the beginning of the end

Never knew I needed Classical Gas on accordion until today. Al Yankovic is an American treasure.

I had never heard of the song Classical Gas before. I was very confused

he buried the lead. What the **** is a "coronavirus party"? is that wear people try to give each other coronavirus?

591 deaths to only 178 recovered?

why do I feel like the recovered should be much higher than the deaths?

I said this previously... he’s not the type of leader for a situation like this. I can see arguments where people say he’s a good leader in other scenarios, but not this one. His words and actions have been a net negative. No, not everything has been bad. But when we were at a point where it was ob...

Anyone in education have an idea about what will actually happen the return back to school date happens? Will kids just take some finals and be done with the year?

Have we even confirmed that those who get it are then immune to it? From https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/can-you-get-coronavirus-twice The bottom line? “Based on all that we know so far, once you have the COVID-19 infection, you can’t get it again,” says Dr. Loghman...

This is probably a dumb question, but are there people who are completely asymptomatic throughout the entire 2-week period? If so, do we have percentages for them compared to the others? The only stats I ever see are ICU/death. I saw a graphic (I think posted in here) that this number is around 30%

I tried looking on Google for an answer but didn't really find anything What, biologically, makes some people (~%30% of the population I think it was) asymptomatic to the virus? I'm guessing it's some particular gene that doesn't allow for the virus to replicate? I kind of down this rabbit hole a fe...

my hockey rink is still open and pick up is from 10:15pm-11:30

I signed up around lunch time, went to the rink at 10 and...they closed due to the virus

I have to say, I don’t know how people deal with stress like this for long periods of time. It’s one of those things where I think being single may make it all easier. I constantly worry about my wife and daughter getting sick even though we’re doing everything we can to isolate ourselves. I may wi...

One third of all US cases are in NYC. That seems bad.

Nice, more good news

Living in squalor for a decade is not what I would consider "handled well"...

I was mostly being facetious with that point. hence "I think that whole world war thing might've helped him"

I asked this a while ago and didn't get any real answer...has there been a catastrophe that was handled so well that everyone was like, "huh, ya know...that wasn't so bad?" FDR, but I think that whole world war thing might've helped him I'm not sure I follow... FDR inherited the US's economic state...

FDR, but I think that whole world war thing might've helped him

if someone is looking for something to do, how about a 5 year retrospective on our expansion draft rosters? viewtopic.php?f=8&t=428&p=48082&hilit=expansion#p48082

our teams aren't looking like cup contenders

Yes, Tampa once again look invincible.

yeah all the cups they've won in the past few years are intimidating

Hope everyone and their families stay safe through everything.

On the opposite end, I’m probably going to drink a lot less now that I’m social distancing myself

I might do a full month of sobriety

Alcohol consumption according to the Osterholm guy increases chance of a serious case of Wuhan.

I mean, I’m no medical professional but don’t almost all ailments get worsened by alcohol?

Alcohol is a poison, when you drink it your body dedicates resources to get better.

The rumor on Reddit (take it fwiw) is that PA will order shelter in place on Saturday.

So you can't leave your house?

you can leave your house to go jogging but they'll shame you on CNN

That's scary. Also: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7SIRXCEIENFW3JYGVU4MNGVY24.png&w=1440 I think this is a little misleading because it groups the 20-44 age range when the other ones are only 10 years wide

ITT a lot of people that don't seem to know the difference between 'social distancing' and 'shelter in place'. 7 million people in 6 Bay Area counties have been told to not leave their houses for non-essential activities. Jogging is a non-essential activity. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/17/us/shelte...

Have people been shamed for going for a walk or jogging? Fresh air is a good thing right now as long as you aren't in a group of people IMO. They were shaming them because there were so many people jogging and walking very close to each other. I posted the vide of the CNN clip. I really don't know ...

this is what I'm talking about with the "shaming"
