and very hard to protect yourself against unless wearing gloves

See this doesn't compute to me. Wearing gloves seems trivially easy.

reread it and it will make sense.

it is hard to protect yourself against(meaning catching it from surfaces) unless wearing gloves.

doctors scrub their hands because they are putting them on and into sick people. of course it helps for all of us to do that.

Personally, I was saying from the very beginning. This is probably transferred mostly via air and the "make sure you wash your hands" is just to give peeps a false sense of security. If you don't think you breath in others people's air just going into a place where people smoke. This will also give you an idea how long other people's air lingers and travels throughout a room.

i was outside, walking in the middle of the street to avoid people, and i was wearing an n95 mask, and i smelled some foul cigarette smoke, and saw an old lady standing on the sidewalk 10-15 feet away from me, and it was strong. she had blown the smoke right at me! wtf

A handful of travellers from Africa who caught Ebola and bought it back the United States.

My guess is it looked like a good idea to just ban all the non-white folk to Trump at the time.

being proactive. if you do nothing and it spreads you are the devil. if you do something and it turns out too drastic you are racist.
its a fine line.

Basically, I can see a lot of the individual states of the unions setting their own rules for quarantine/trade/visitation that may not be received as well by the collective. Likewise, the bidding for PPE and other equipment is often becoming a battle between States as opposed to being governed by specifically either the US Federal government or the EU. Particularly given that the approach to COVID-19 changes so much from State to State, I can see the "deal with it early" crowds and the "not deal with it early" crowds differentiating in their views that could easily cause long term conflict to the point of separation or flat out war.

I don't think that any separation is a favourite, but I would probably on at least one of the two happening in the next two years at 10:1 (remember that the odds of the WSOP being cancelled or postponed were 20:1 two months ago).

4th April...

Backdoor cover due to civil unrest as opposed to COVID-19 is potentially on...

New prediction:

USA#19 will do so poorly in the coming months, the rest of the world will open up international flights and EXCLUDE the US because we are such a bunch of shitbirds.

We will be the covid problem children of the world.

The NFL season will start on time and shut down after 2 weeks when 90 percent of the Miami Dolphin's test positive.

Now that's what I call a visionary call, and back on April 1 even!

Along a similar line to this, I predict any mojor sports that re-open in 2020 will re-close nowhere near completion and be scrapped because of infections.

Football, Baseball, Basketball & Hockey. All of them.
