Wait a week for Trump to announce his team just made a huge discovery that he had suggested they look into.

Skynews is legit right?
Yeah not sure, but what could be the downside? It's not a common thing to lose your sense of taste and smell all of a sudden.

The more I read about this, i am 99% convinced that I had this in October last year. Lost my taste, smell, pneumonia, 103 degree fever, upper respiratory infection, couldn't breathe, wheezing, and a cough that lasted 6-8 weeks. I'm still feeling the effects 6 months later. It could have been the flu, but I got a flu shot and tested negative for both A and B.

Went to the store 2 days back to get some fruit, I thinks it’s cool that some older people are wearing masks. However, if you are wearing a mask, the side to your mouth shouldn’t be loose. After listening to a rogan podcast, the masks are kinda useless if the sides aren’t tight to your face. People just looking ****** stupid.

Btw, I hate to be mean but I feel people here are a little too worried. I’m from ny so maybe your state is different, but it seems like almost anyone that can work from home is working from home due to law/ company protecting itself from lawsuits. I really find it odd people are scared to go to the grocery store. Just maintain distance from people, wear gloves if you must (overdoing if you ask me but if older/ weak immune, go for it), and wear a mask that is tight to your face.

I’m more worried that this is going to blow up the economy due to fact so many people with crappy jobs lose them and now earn nothing vs a laughable small wage anyways (bartenders, waiters, etc). Even people acting like going out for a walk or bike ride where you aren’t even in close proximity to other people..... dudes take it easy. If you are telling me someone can’t go for a walk... you are nuts.

Btw I love I can finally say I’m happy not to live in nyc and rather live in upstate ny. Think I would be more worried about this if I was in a big city but where I’m at, there might be 30-40 cases now which doesn’t really worry me.

Good thing we don't live in a ****ed up country like that!
It's the age-old riddle:

Which came first? The Putin or The Trump?

Yes this seems downright cruel. Even in the UK we are using empty hotels to house homeless folk. We're also using empty hotels to give NHS workers a place to sleep in between their 40 hour shifts.

Nice knowing y’all.
science will prevail, bro. though we are going to take some horrendous losses first. In two months will be good treatments, summer remission, fall second wave, then vaccine. Don't underestimate our medical people.

hmm...conflicted here. Obviously I want those homeless to have a place to reside. I would understand those in power to not want to have homeless trying to claim squatters rights because they have been holed up in Caesars Palace for 3 months. There are no easy solutions here guys.

27, Im guessing that is just pure speculation with regard to shutting down any cross country transit? I'm hitting the road Monday morning toward Indiana, but I could leave as early as Sunday night if I felt it was that imminent. I just think going from people out shopping and getting ice cream to full on lockdown in 48 hours seems pretty unlikely. But I have no idea.

Science has been hard at work to kill the coronavirus for decades, and has, thus far, made no progress.

I think we can talk about stepping up efforts now. Until now corona has been mainly harmless.

I figure they have postponed much every project except corona. Saving humanity and the Nobel prize is up for grabs.

That seems weird. Some will obviously work less, but others will work way more. You have a link?
