I don’t think we have any deniers here, but if you know any, send them this.

They'll have quite a few less pissed off customers with their current plan.

My mom works for one of the oldest and most successful biotech VC firms in the world. My dad is an engineer at Boeing an spent 30 years in the Phantom Works division (Boeing's Skunk Works). They are smart and know how this math works and are deflecting this as paranoia. My dad is a Trumper and my mom hears it incessantly. When I told her we were effectively boarding up MIL and when she does come back, she will be driving back staying at off-line hotels, etc. she said I was crazy. They just flew up to ID to see my 85 & 88 y/o grandparents who are regularly sick and weakly acknowledged that they probably shouldn't have.
No matter if you know how the math works. No matter if you know the potential end results. If you don't want to believe it, you probably won't.
i made a similar comment about a boomer purge for the impending election.
i'll take my king asshole crown any time.
"It's a 'Mr. Death' or something. He's come about the reaping? I don't think we need any at the moment."
Shit. That reminds me... brb.
At the end of the day, whether you think its paranoia or not or if thats what someone believes this is, you just have to be smart about it. Screen your visitors and guests, be clean and don't be a fucktard. If you're in a high risk area or something, don't insert yourself into the risk. At least up here we have the right to refuse unsafe work - I'm sure there is a way that this all falls under that clause, should you feel you're at risk, at work.
Corona virus or not, if you're sick or have symptoms of being sick, you shouldn't be going to work, visiting people with vulnerabilities or travelling....

I have had these same thoughts. Welcome to the club.
True...but what if you travel one way and then get sick? Where are you going to self-quarantine?At the end of the day, whether you think its paranoia or not or if thats what someone believes this is, you just have to be smart about it.

Guess I'll need my membership too. I've posited that Donnie & Co wouldn't actually coordinate a national response until it starts taking seed in the Republican strongholds. Right now the worst outbreaks are mostly isolated in the Democratic states hes been trying to punish for years anyway.

"But the effectiveness of such interventions will depend on public compliance, and the public will have to trust what it is being told.
How the Horrific 1918 Flu Spread Across America
The toll of history’s worst epidemic surpasses all the military deaths in World War I and World War II combined. And it may have begun in the United Stateswww.smithsonianmag.com
That is why, in my view, the most important lesson from 1918 is to tell the truth. Though that idea is incorporated into every preparedness plan I know of, its actual implementation will depend on the character and leadership of the people in charge when a crisis erupts.......

I was stunned. This official had not actually told a lie, but he had deliberately minimized the danger; whether or not this particular patient had the disease, a pandemic was coming. The official’s unwillingness to answer questions from the press or even acknowledge the pandemic’s inevitability meant that citizens would look elsewhere for answers, and probably find a lot of bad ones. Instead of taking the lead in providing credible information he instantly fell behind the pace of events. He would find it almost impossible to get ahead of them again. He had, in short, shirked his duty to the public, risking countless lives.
And that was only a game."
You mean to tell me a shot of bleach with an essential oil chaser isn't going to prevent coronavirus?
i just texted my wife about the WHO pandemic declaration. she responds talking about peel and stick tiling.
I think that's for when we run out of peel and stick tile.I thought we were supposed to use clam shells?
Fuck, I feel a little sick today, throat feels weird, dry cough every now and then, stomach not totally cool. Im at work but am basically self quarantined here. Guess margaritas yesterday didnt help. Im going to yell at the lunch truck to bring me a burrito soon. I wont let him touch anything of mine. "Just leave it on the door step to my double wide"
Stay wherever you are and get medical advice...Hopefully you have travel insurance with medical coverage or something.
If work travel, I guess make sure that you're employer is aware of the risks and if you get stuck, have them cover your extended vacation.
Or spend two weeks hiking the Appalachian trail in solitude.
Pretty much my wife and our DSO every day she WFH.
