USA must work with China ... enough is enough of those games with people's lives.
All countries have to work with China, all together.
Time's up.

Forget Easter, forget Mardi Gras, ...now's not the time to make it worse.
Friday, March 27, 2020 ... a tough day in our world ...

Pondosinatra · 03-27-2020, 10:29 PM

Gah.

Time to start drinking yet??

LordoftheRings · 03-27-2020, 10:48 PM

I thought you were coming back in two weeks to check the numbers ...

I hope I'm wrong ... not in regards to your future verification but with my own numbers.
I'm startink to thing that I downplayed them a little.
I've never wish to be so wrong in my life than now.

I'd much rather play with Box Office movie numbers ... Avengers, Joker and all.

Agreed.

We’re at 101,000 cases now in the USA. China is still at 81,000. We need China to help us!!! We can’t seem to stop the spread like they can!!

Be careful what you wish for.

So, my brother just looked out the window and noticed that you can very clearly see the mountains all the way on the other side of the valley, which you typically can't because of all the smog. The streets and roads are much emptier than usual. Just more reason for me to dislike personal automobiles.

MrHT · 03-28-2020, 02:00 AM

The world is so different now. I took the elevator in my apartment building to the lobby to check my mail today. It stops on the 5th floor and opens up. Some lady walks in, sees me and quickly exits the elevator. Apparently, people think I have Coronavirus.

I guess maybe I should take the stairs, but then again, I may run into someone there and scare someone off.

Geez, the world has changed. When will the world go back to normal? Please say Easter!!

Yep. I'm hoping this will result in more working from home, and more localism.

As a 30 something. I can proudly say I've never been part of the jet off to Vietnam and take a selfie in a rice paddy field, to look cultured and worldly crowded.

Making a better world starts from home.

I get the sentiment....but on the flipside...if more people spent more time in other parts of the world, we'd have less war. Hard to want to kill someone when you realize they're just like you.

Most people in the US have never been outside of their state, nevermind their country.

Pondosinatra · 03-28-2020, 02:48 AM

You see I have trouble believing the official line as to how this virus spreads...

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/cana...ce-of-a-major/

So what....the one infected guy at this funeral went around sneezing on everyone?

At most he maybe shook some hands, hugged a few people.

I understand. But I've never left this island, and never wanted to kill anyone else.

Great example during the recent (and never ending) Russo-phobia...

Russians are evil!

Have you ever been to Russia?

No.

Have you ever spent an afternoon just hanging out with the locals, knocking back a few beers and just hanging out?

No.

So why are they evil?

What, you some kinda commie lover?!?!?

You should probably learn how it's transmitted then. It's primarily carried through respiratory droplets that can spread simply by breathing or talking, not just coughing or sneezing. So yes, that one person can easily spread it to many others in a crowded funeral home.

And yet you keep hearing that it's 'not airborne'...
