    I only keep going on about the government decision because you keep hinting at it that they are idiots for taking it.

    Are you a folder or a scruncher?

    Yeah. I'm in real estate software and I'm not immune. I'm lucky to be able to work remote, but who's buying a house right now?

    Multiply that by like every industry. I don't think anyone won't be affected soon. Hope for the best.

    I say we don't buy anything more from China til the shit down the fucking wild animal meat markets though.

    Also, apparently the Senate never thought about having to do remote voting in case of an emergency before.

    What do these clowns do all year?

    Or scenario no.2 the first country to implode has shots of its parliament building on fire On CNN, maybe a few mid level politicians assasinated. Every other world leader sees that, oh shit that could happen to me, ok, every one back to work, worst of the crisis is over, even though it isnt, our society, our kids are most important, all them back to school

    But im just a cynic

    Doing disinfecting of office buildings where there was no contamination seems a little overkill to me. But our offices are getting cleared out. I moved more chairs and desks today..
    Our office complex had a great Child Care Center infections of a few years back. Everyone was getting Staph infections, illnesses and rashes.. No disinfection. Took a bobcat to the entire floor and rebuilt it. Nobody has been reportedly sick over in the child care since..

    Think there are a lot of people that think the lockdowns are so we can eradicate it completely, and there will be a certain backlash just on that when they find out thats not the case

    Dont seen this one not claiming 2, 3 times the amount of lives as seasonal flu well into the future

    Doesn't the disease sort of 'time out' though?

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if people would not go out (and when they do wear masks and gloves) the sick would eventually get well as the disease runs its course, and it would dry up on steel handrails and such after time. It seems logical to me.

    That's why its important they are not only told what to do, but also know the exact reason why. In my country that happily is the case :)

    It will take years to work out how much air pollution is a factor, but it will definately push the need for green energy. And push a population spread. These cities of 10, 20 million people are a time bomb as well as an eyesore

    yes you can time out a disease by lock down.. its not going to spread.. however, as the Virus gets away from its epicenter it weakens. This is why the rate is lower in the Americas. High Pop with mixed numbers of other underlying conditions. Including the flu and common cold.
    If this thing can be beat I say we should be able to volunteer to get it, and get it over with.
    I am willing to take that risk.
    I heard if you just hang upside down like a bat it only last 12hours..
     
  20. It's because you don't know who might pop in for a visit.
    Remember it only takes a minute for someone with this virus to infect others.
    The same with gastro and colds. It's an airbourne virus
