So wait. You are leaving your girlfriend alone in quarantine when she is infected and you have the symptoms (but are attributing them to allergies)?

Thus, you yourself are admittedly a possible super spreader by not following the rules you want everyone else to?

I don't have the symptoms. The only symptom I have is a very slight cough that is entirely consistent with the allergies I get this time every year. It is not persistent or uncomfortable.

I also am literally not allowed to not go to work.

Question about Americans and the $1000 checks thing:

Have they said they are going to give this to every tax paying American, or only those who have lost their job? I havent lost my job, but I might be furloughed in a month. Just hoping I dont miss out on it because Im currently still pulling in a check

Theyre still negotiating the amount and the frequency and such but everyone with a social security number should get money

A cough isn't the most common symptom of allergies. A cough is usually a symptom of allergies with a runny nose due to postnasal drip. Sore throat and cough are symptoms of Coronavirus and you have contact with an infected. You should get tested.

Also in your own article.

Last I heard was everyone who paid taxes on 2018 and it phases out at 95k filed in taxes in 2018. But, they may have negotiated from there.

Ridiculous negotiating

I just read one where it says $3,000 for families and another that says $1,200 for eligible adult and $500 per child. Says democrats are the ones who could vote it down, but they expect it to pass around 3pm today.

well my hospital has officially made it a rule that every single employee no matter what has to wear a mask their whole shift which is nice. Also makes me wonder how theyre getting all these masks for like 20k employees!

---

Damn!

The prime minister of my country announced a traffic/movement ban. Or lockdown I think it is called? Basically we can only move around in order to go to work, shop for food and medicine and go to the hospital. And we have to send a message to a service from our cellphone and announce where we have to god and have our ID's at all times too in order for police to see if we do as they say.

Obviously this hasn't happen before. I think it has happened for a few days back in 1967 where we had a military coup that lasted for almost 7 years but I am not sure too.

Anyway that is. Seems so strange. I live in Greece too.

2:00 p.m.: Cuomo calls on New York City to open streets to public
Gov. Andrew Cuomo called on New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and other leaders to come up with a plan to reduce density in parks, after he saw large gatherings in the green spaces over the weekend.
Cuomo called the crowds at the parks "reckless," "arrogant" and "selfish" because of the greater risk and said the city needed to take immediate action. He gave the mayor and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson 24 hours to come up with a plan and suggested they consider closing some streets to vehicular traffic and open it up to pedestrians.
"Get creative. Open up the streets" he said at a news conference.

Clear illustration of these measures working:

Kentucky hasn't done shelter in place yet and new infections are still growing, but they've substantially reduced the spread of the virus.

It is endlessly amusing to me that during a global pandemic KySportsRadio tweeted a color coded coronavirus graph comparing us favorably to Tennessee.

I went to CityMD get tested. I told them I'm a first responder and my girlfriend tested positive. They still told me hospitalization is necessary to get tested.

Hahahaha!

Oh Wang

i had to get the guide pulled up man.
a pic ain't enough.

i need the whole thing.
i'm also slightly disturbed by the rules on who you can have sex with.

if the next safest person to have sex with is someone you live with and you can't bang someone outside of it, does that mean it's telling people to go bang grandma? to literally become their own motherfuckers?

PA is refusing to release the age and whether the patient had underlying conditions who died in Allegheny county recently (probably multiple now). Which, of course, has led people to believe that it is because it is a healthy, young person and to panic more. lol

My mom came by my apartment to let me know that she asked my dad to Purell his hands after pumping gas and instead he rubbed his hands all over the machine and ate a sandwich because this is all fake

RIP my dad

---

I guess your dad just doesn't believe in germs or bacteria or viruses in general? Those pumps are plenty gross even without a pandemic.

So Ohio just announced stay at home and all my fast food friends are pissed. Since they can continue to do just drive thru and carryout, even though it's far from sanitary.

Not that I'm the biggest fan of Donald Trump, but it's pretty fun to see people still pretending TDS isn't a thing when you see people openly rooting for enough old people to die by election season that Bernie can be president

Is it really TDS if they hate Biden as much as Trump? This conclusion doesnt seem to follow the premise.

I mean, Im not gonna say that I dont agree with this condescending disdain towards a life threatening illness potentially affecting Mitt Romney

But its probably not appropriate of a POTUS?

Hey Wang, is Tucker going to tell Trump to start ordering production of medical supplies tomorrow night? That would be helpful
