Quote: In Northern Italy, 60 volunteers who thought they'd never suffered COVID-19 gave blood. 40 of them tested positive for antigens.

I was finally allowed to donate blood today, after years of being turned away. They seemed pretty desperate.

So when is America open for business?
Depending on your source, either Easter or the end of May.

So when is America open for business? If you are of the campaign contributing class, it never shut down.

FOX, Trump... such a consortium of idiocy has, historically, never been as well documented as this.

And it's idiots like this (not saying you Odinz, just the person who created this meme) are the reason why we have so much low-information trash online.
If anyone with more than 2 working braincells and actually listen to anything Trump and experts say, it's that warmer weather will slow the virus spread, not eliminate it.
Just like other respiratory diseases, warmer weather curbs the spread because the disease cannot live outside it's host for longer periods of time in warmer/hotter weather than cooler weather.
But anyone who wants to make cheap points off of stupidity, then don't blame society for when that stupidity gets you and your loved ones killed.

That video is pretty damning.
Doubt you would say that after watching it.
This video responds to anyone who thinks Trump and the republicans, their media are competent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh4uS4f78oYeah, I watched your highly edited biased video that portrays your viewpoints, and what was said wasn't as bad as the past 3 and a half years of "Russia Collusion/Ukraine/Impeachment/Emoluments/Orange Man Bad" media hype that is shown on networks who couldn't even combine ratings to match Fox's daily ratings, and some networks would have to go for 2-3 months before they can match Fox's weekly numbers.
But that's not a topic for here. I just said that the misinformation (aka facts I don't like) that you posted is the reason why some people are dying due to their relatives/friends/co-workers stupidity. It's because of mindsets like this that the pandemic is gaining ground instead of plateauing today. Like the Spring Breakers of a month ago.

But the problem is when the passengers themselves try to create the turbulence.

"Stop flying so high, it's making me sick!"
"Why are you pitching left? It's obviously supposed to go right!"
"I could be a better pilot than you, even though I have no training on how to fly!"
It's like flying with a bunch of mother-in-laws!

Yuck, I should do some searching for my area see if the numbers have changed, that one case I heard of was a week ago.
Edit: 3 confirmed, no deaths, all 3 are stable and home quarantined.
400 cases in my state, 10 deaths. The confirmed cases doubled in 4 days. From 8 days ago.
Now:
8 confirmed cases in my county, no deaths.
NV up to like 1500 confirmed cases, 45 or so deaths.
By Viciouss 2020-04-05 17:14:57
460 cases in my county, 6 deaths. It's mostly young people getting infected here, and it's not killing them.

That explains a lot then. After this is all over and if we are both breathing, I’m going to go to Austin and buy you a beer and a steak.
Or invite you to San Antonio for some good food, instead of that hippie junk food you guys have over there!

The restaurants are all open for takeout here but wow are they *** up our orders. We got wingdaddys the other day, ordered 5 dips, got charged for 7, were delivered 2. The math here doesn't work.

If there is one thing that is bad about a good economy, it is that the level of service from jobs that uses minimum wage labor falls, because since nobody is hurting for a job, employers can’t be choosy about who to hire and will take the lowest denominator.

yeah if using the CDC as your source, weekend numbers aren't certified until Monday morning.
So, today was the first case of the virus being confirmed in my rural county.
This last week has been pretty insane to start. Most grocery stores have been emptied, toilet paper is non existent. Bars, hotels, and casinos have been shutdown as of yesterday, our town relies heavily on these sources of income. There are now rumors that our mine sites will soon be shutdown as well. I plan to withdraw a substantial amount of cash from the bank tomorrow morning, and hit every store I can get my hands on to get some groceries before the hoarding gets any worse.
I have heard of California being on total lockdown, as well of rumors of people even being imprisoned for attempting to leave the state.
Curious to hear how other parts of the country are getting along, surprised there isn't an official Corona-Virus thread here yet.
Crazy stuff.
