There's gonna be hell to pay when this is over and the world is not as reliant on them for critical supplies.

While I agree with you, we've looked the other way for far too long (decades) and allowed it to continue at our expense so a few could profit.

The last time I heard this many ambulance sirens piercing the NYC night was 9/11 . #COVID19 is slamming us...8000 cases and counting, hospitals full, #Trump declared us a national emergency zone. Things turned radically today....our surge has started. http://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/st...94881273540609

I agree that this should have been much bigger news than it was. Sure it's too early to tell if this will actually work, but a little hope doesn't hurt.
Of course, the media all but ignored this.

Starting to think a certain silver spoon business "tycoon" needs an education on finances, pharmacology and mental health, for starters.

I want to share that on fb with my friends. But I don't want to see people react to me if I do.

Keep politics out of this thread please.

[Batman1980]

Got it, sorry.

[rdodolak]

Do as I say and not as I do. This is a disgrace and an elitist thumbing his nose at the common folk... de Blasio should step down.

Illinois is under (Stay at Home) order starting tomorrow

No worries, just need to keep it more on topic.

So do we actually have a count on how many states are in actual lock down and stay at home orders?

[Batman1980]

I thought it was California, New York and Illinois but I've been goofing off all day so I'm probably wrong.

You seem to be correct as it seems to be at three, for the moment.

And locals on facebook are constantly posting racist or otherwise insensitive messages towards China and mocking both the practice of social distancing and the people who want to get tested. A lot of locals just seem to find it an annoyance and aren't modifying their daily routine other than not going to places that are closed.

China isn’t a race

Anyone else feeling like the cleanest motherf*cker on the planet lately?

From constantly wiping down my car upon entering and leaving, constantly wiping my hands, wiping down parcels and groceries in makeshift triage areas of my kitchen, cleaning personal effects (keys, cellphone, clothing, etc etc..) several dozen times a day, and developing my own personal decontamination system upon entering and leaving my apartment, invariably resulting in Silkwood-esque showers a couple times a day, I'm squeaking with every movement at the day's end.

I'm clean from basement to attic.

Speaking of which, for those so obsessed, I saw rolls of toilet paper on the shelves tonight people, and I don't exactly live in the boondocks either.

Don't be supporting those black market tp pirates. Practice patience.
