What concerns me the most is that because of the incubation period we're basically always at least a week behind. So however bad it appears to be next week, it's already that bad now.

It's funny they moved the Tax Deadline. We're all at home. We could be working on our taxes right now.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson instructed cafes, pubs, bars and restaurants to close on Friday "as soon as they reasonably can and not to open tomorrow,” in order to stem the tide of the coronavirus.

The closure also applies to “nightclubs, gyms, cinemas and leisure centers,” he added during his daily press conference.

Johnson said the measures will be reviewed each month to see if can be relaxed. “Some people may be tempted to go out and I say please don’t.” He said he was confident the "tide can be turned" but people need to stay away from one another.

It was not immediately clear if the Prime Minister’s instruction was backed by legal force.

Too late

The Brits really really aren’t taking this seriously. And I mean the man on the street.

Health officials have been clear that we'd see a huge increase in US numbers this week as testing was expanded; it's how we've behaved in this past week, and will behave in the coming weeks, that will dictate how this all turns out. Let's not freak out about huge projections just yet.

Chicago pizzeria posted a "Gov. Pritzker, Screw You" sign after being forced to close. But the owner is a franchisee, and the chain terminated her franchise agreement.

I realise this is a 4chan thread so proceed with caution, however data from mobile phone carriers suggest China's true COVID-19 death toll may number in the millions: http://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/2492 ... -deaths-in
