If you watch the video, it's not as bad as the headline sounds, but it's still fun to think of Trump as a clueless idiot.

Trump pays that person who said "probably not" tho

Not for much longer

Why?

The WHO says this has a 3.4% fatality rate.

yes based on 'reported' cases

the thing is there are probably a million unreported mild cases at this point

Im in a hospital (not for a corona check). Been hearing a lot of talk in the lobby. Seems like everyone and their Lhasa Apsos are here thinking they have the corona virus.

Agreed, and many deaths that are just listed with pnemonia as the cause. There will be an amazing documentary about this in 10 years.

i really need to go buy more ramen i only have like 8 left

I went to the supermarket yesterday and there were a few shelves looking a bit bare. The worst hit was the toilet paper area. Does this thing give you the shits?

It’s the supply chain. If drivers are affected and store staff then shops may not open or have stock.

Yeah it's either dime, doug, or mcparadigm.

Well, this is a few blocks from where I work:

Have there been reports of homeless people getting infected? Seems like a particular vulnerable group to this (everything, really)

If the masters of social distancing can't stop this, the rest of the country is fucked.

There’s a case a few blocks from my work too. A health worker in an aged care facility.

If those are the funniest things that guy has seen in a long time, he needs to get out more.

So I finally got called back. Asked a battery of questions.
They sent an ambulance n brought into an isolated unit. A whole battery of questions off a nurse. And then a whole lot more by a doctor. They’re keeping me in 48-72 hours to run tests and get samples n stuff. Irony being I feel much better than yesterday and especially much better than the weekend but here we are.

Our very own dime about to turn Ireland red on the worldwide freak-out map!

Hope you’re doing OK though and glad to hear things are on the mend.

dime deserves a lifetime achievement award for still RMing while in an isolation unit for an international pandemic.
