Y'all are good people here

I see Aus has adopted the move of NZ (I think) and are forcing everyone entering the country to self isolate for two weeks and has banned cruise ships docking

Before this is over, I am going to need a t-shirt that says "I HAVE ALLERGIES."

Fucking hell.

850 new cases in Switzerland today. They’ve probably got the best health system in the world and still

Breaking - Spain reports 2,000 new virus cases and more than 100 deaths in 24 hours.

The new figures raise Spain's number of Covid-19 infections to 7,753 and its death toll to 288.

The government there has imposed a near-total nationwide lockdown, banning people from leaving home except to go to work, get medical care or buy food.

Yup. Julia’s parents are on lockdown in calpe. Scary.

A friends mom in vail here is in the hospital right now with something ... waiting on results. Definitely has pneumonia and waiting on results for COVID which takes three days.

Trump has now included the UK in the European travel ban as even he knows their plan for dealing with it is moronic. Ireland too cos we have an open border with them.

Wouldn’t be like him to say one tiny and do another. Not at all

I wonder when Trump tweeted 'covfefe' was he trying to warn us about covid 19 but got his spelling wrong?

Can someone explain to me De Blasio’s decision to keep NYC schools open? It can’t just be that nurses and first responders need daycare given that Chicago, DC, LA, Boston are all shutting down for multiple weeks

Some rumblings that Massachusetts might have a curfew or even more severe restrictions soon.

There are a lot of people going to bars or taking their kids to games right now who will later be bitching on social media because someone they know had to wait for 6 hours to get a serious injury looked at, is having to let a medical condition go unchecked, or had crucial cancer surgery indefinitely postponed.

I haven't really seen any systematic response offered by those cities in terms of what they're going to do about childcare for everyone in the system, not just first responders. They just seem to think of two bad options, it's the least worst. That being said, all of those closures are going to be extended, if they do them; it seems certain that in four weeks we'll have far more spread of the virus than we do now.

It’s stunning how evident it is that no organization or community ever bothered to consider how to deal with an event that has been so obviously coming that we’ve made five thousand history channel series about how it might look.

Seattle public schools may be shut down, but for now they’re asking food insecure families to go to a small handful of centers to pick up food for their kids. Everything about that doesn’t work. Everything.
