Disneyland in California is closing until end of March! The California Governor has made it so that only essential gatherings are allowed and no gathering over 250.

Things are getting to be so ridiculous!

[Kitalpha Hart]

And the people with no proper health insurance and are paycheck to paycheck are gonna get shafted
I think Disney World also announced closure

This is an excellent case for Medicare for all, proper actually useful Medicare, not what we have now, and a guaranteed income. Say everyone 18+ gets 30k/year, untaxable, from the government
Be so useful for if you're stuck unable to work at times like this because hey no need to worry about paying rent because nest egg unless you spent it all like an idiot. Also be useful for "you treat me like shit I quit" because hey nest egg don't need to worry about having a job or sticking at a shitty one so bad bosses have to either shape up or get fired ovo

Yeah, not this year. I don't have enough money anyways.

Schools are closing for two weeks after March break over here.
And I think our PMs wife got tested and her results are positive for the virus.

Yeah, I agree

[Kitalpha Hart]

I have no idea what grade schools are doing here. Pretty sure I heard the school bus earlier so may be new day same shit for them
But we'll see

[npixelz]

Yeah. This is a crazy time

[Kitalpha Hart]

It is
And I wonder how things will pan out

[npixelz]

Hopefully it all goes well in the end

[Lemon Cheesecake]

ugh! Now they are closing schools and trying to make people work from home if possible or change Uni classes to online. All the public events for March into April are cancelled...and people are standing in line for hours for toilet paper!! What is this country coming to!?????

[npixelz]

Yeah, it's getting pretty crazy

[Kitalpha Hart]

Preventative measures
This thing has a two week incubation period before symptoms start, and that's two weeks where you can pass it on
From what I understand, China's new case rate is going down because their government made everyone stay home
After all, can't pass it on if you don't catch it by staying home
The tp thing is insane tho

Hopefully some good will come out of this...
like figure out some protocols (so people aren't panicking!) for one!
or ... maybe the big names like googl and amazon will find a way to give us all better internet!
or ...people will finally have better protocol when it comes to spreading their germs (like cover your mouth with something other then your hand!) or keeping facilities clean etc.
or setting up public health services for those people without insurance during a pandemic (they can get tested or get a vaccine at no cost or a low payment) instead of overloading our hospitals and urgent care.
or???

GOVERNMENT FUNDED TAX FREE GUARANTEED WAGES SO PEOPLE CAN STAY HOME SICK AND NOW WORRY ABOUT FOOD, RENT, ETC ETC ETC

[Vivianne]

I need to verify this with another source, but the virus can be spread even after a person recovers maybe???

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'm fortunate I have sick pay...

So, why did Prime Minister Trudeau say he was told he was only contagious if he showed symptoms????
I thought the whole thing about this virus was you can be a carrier and show no symptoms? Isn't that why everyone is being overly conscious?
However, Trudeau is self quarantining himself,for two weeks I hear, because his wife has the coronavirus...what about their kids???? Are they sick? Are they quarantined as well???

[Vivianne]

Sadly, a lot is out of our control. I think we're at a point we can only minimize fallout, and rather unsuccessfully.
