The macro factors and likely government solution lines up for a potential failure of our currency. Another neat little thing to add to the list of possibilities.
What financial tool is being used to support this? Are they just printing whatever they think is needed?
Did anyone post the story about German pharmaceutical company telling Trump to piss off? Cliffs:American born CEO meets with Trump. German founder/chairman says no to profiteering & fires him. Trump gets mad & calls it fake news. Viruses don't watch Fox news so you cant fool 40% of them. They have no idea what to do besides lie or write a really big check and here we are.
i can't get around the FT pay wall but i dont really think it matters https://www.ft.com/content/4e89ec5c-6565-11ea-b3f3-fe4680ea68b5
Can you send me a PM with the name of the Urgent Care that she went to in SC? I work in corporate for one of the largest in the state and need to know if one of our locations handled this so poorly.
Anecdotal and I know it’s frowned upon to ever share this stuff, but our department has seen a drastic slowing in call volume over the last ten days or so. We average 13 EMS calls per day out of one station and we’ve been averaging three of late. The ED docs at Hillcrest Hospital (CC system) said the room occupancy has been less than half for the same time frame. Not quite sure what to make of that, but probably some combination of fear of being at the hospital now and people with less-than-urgent needs deciding against going.
I’m all for shitting on trump but is this being reported elsewhere besides the Bangkok post via Reddit? Is that even a legitimate news source over there?
Seeing that here as well, thankfully. People are staying home for non-essential illnesses, and calling ahead of time. I'm worried that this is going to happen for the next week or so, then people are going to get a false sense of security and it will explode.
I think in the face of financial ruin nation wide, losing value on your currency isn’t a concern. Also I think the thought is that they are getting to keep their job through this, so recovery will be much quicker than having to come back from a massive recession.
Another tale from “people are not fucking taking this seriously enough” I had to go grab a few things from the store this morning so I go super early when no one is there. Fortunately I can walk to it. On my way back there is a 30 year old ish looking guy with a gym bag walking towards the gym Id be going to today if not for a pandemic. I first shake my head because it’s dumb of him to be going. However he then pulls out a tissue and blows his fucking nose and puts in back into his pocket. He then further uses his hand to wipe his face. Yea no chance in hell I’m going to my gym any time soon. I think I have to place my membership on hold. Oddly enough had my gym taken the steps to shut down in advance I’d keep my membership going out of appreciation.
Miss Dept of Health hasn't issued an update on cases or how to handle the virus since before Trump and the Gov declared a State of Emergency. Our Gov is in quarantine as he has been in barcelona the past week for his daughters soccer tourney. They fly him back suddenly Friday night.
1 v 1? I will and we can wager $100. Or if you have a squad, we can run a 3 v 3 seven game series for $1000.
Literally what my wife was told when she went to an RN for a sinus infection on Wednesday. "It is good to be aware, but I'm much more concerned about the flu. It has killed a lot more people than the Coronavirus." Between this attitude by people that should be more informed, the response of our public officials, and our general lack of empathy it is really hard to argue that we are not about to get exactly what we deserve as a society. My parents think that I'm a loon for suggesting they not go to church today (60s with medical conditions.), and, if they insisted, please do not shake hands or hug people. It is terribly depressing.
1v1. Loser donates $100 to a charity of the winners choice. Other posters can make side bets and donate to the winners choice I get to be the Lakers can’t play until later
someone was asking for a cite about something related to this iirc i have no idea if Die Wielt is a legit outlet but that's who it is sourced to
Just had some Chobani Sweet Cream coffee creamer. Good buy. Highly suggest. 10/10. Thanks pandemic for opening my eyes to this goodness.
This occurred to me as well, especially when young people (who should trend more educated and open to climate science) continued going out to bars this weekend. People don’t change habits easily.
My favorite take is girl who is mad her church is closed because it’s god will when we die and they should remain open. I see the bridge is out I’m driving directly at but heck, gods will I guess lets see what happens!
My wife is an RN. It's bad enough we are resigned to the fact she's going to be exposed and will likely bring it home at some point. Worse yet, they've had to put hand sanitizer and surgical masks under lock and key because patients and their families are constantly stealing them from the hospital. This sort of selfish behavior is going to hurt a lot of people, including potentially my wife and family. It makes me angry to no end that people being treated are stealing from the professionals trying to help them.
Thank you Nice. Amplifying this for H/T Just a bit of blood. Not a worry unless you are coughing up actual blood I tend to agree. It’s a low risk thing. Well, not like I’d disagree with Fauci anyways Reinfection is very unlikely to be a thing let alone common Proof that doctors can be idiots, too. Even when they know better. Especially if money and their stocks are involved. Why are you around people? That’s nonsense. A company in the US, Moderna, has the same tech as CureVac. We don’t need to go to Germany for this sort of technology. Moderna has already launched a Phase 1 trial Wasn’t he downplaying this just last week?
