Coronavirus

My government is doing absolutely fuck all. We’re stuck with a bunch of managers basically, who’s only interest lies in short-term money saving measures.
Long term consequences don’t matter at all. They’re probably replaced before any shit hits the fan, so why bother.
Tonight they’re going to talk some more about whether schools should be closed or not.

It’s the schools themselves that are now seriously considering closure.
Since kids contract the virus but show no symptoms, they are the biggest risk when it comes to spreading the virus.

If this thing turns out to be really as bad as they claim, we’re way too late.
I work at school so… :crossed_fingers:

We ended up spending a week at a hotel the last time Tornadoes ripped through Alabama leaving us without power

Well he did shut down air travel even when the Democrat’s bashed him for doing so. Really doesn’t matter what he does someone will disagree and it’s political. Would be nice to see the way American’s came together right after 911 but I think those days are long past in this country.

There’s an old brain teaser that goes like this: You have a pond of a certain size, and upon that pond, a single lilypad. This particular species of lily pad reproduces once a day, so that on day two, you have two lily pads. On day three, you have four, and so on.

Now the teaser. “If it takes the lily pads 48 days to cover the pond completely, how long will it take for the pond to be covered halfway?”

The answer is 47 days. Moreover, at day 40, you’ll barely know the lily pads are there.

That grim math!

When something dangerous is growing exponentially, everything looks fine until it doesn’t. In the early days of the Wuhan epidemic, when no one was taking precautions, the number of cases appears to have doubled every four to five days.

So, yeah… we’re too late. :grimacing:

So glad we pulled out of the stock market 6 months ago before this was ever a thing.

Ya, yesterday I’m watching the “D” Tribes inquisition on testing thinking WTF? So get back to work and do something about it. Excuse all the doctors from testimony and let them go back to work. If all you can do is whine about somebody else not doing enough, we don’t need you.

Can we believe them? If so, well, maybe it won’t be the Captain Trips it’s been touted to be?

Sorry, I guess I’ll be going now… :cry: :man_shrugging:

It’s very scary. I live less than a mile from the airbase in Trenton, Ontario where they keep bringing back all the Canadian cruise ship passengers. Let’s just pray this can get under control soon.

If you went thru my pantry I already have 95% of those items. Some items probably more than suggested. I never realized I was a survivalest. That’s my wife’s normal shopping list for a month.:wink:

I guess we all are. Some of us just prefer to survive with Door Dash rather than a prepper cave. :wink:
