I thought international organizations were powerless/pointless. It's almost as if abandoning any attempt to maintain influence in them allowed...

LF is right. We've been shut down for two weeks and it'll probably be a few more at a minimum before any aid is coming. We use a moderately large...

Not sure if this will work without translation, but the Israeli equivalent of SNL put out a song titled, approximately, 'Family in isolation'. It...

The UK having a higher per capita rate of testing depends on what the other countries the news source decided to cherry pick for their graph are, the...

Here we go again. Slapping a label that says "this isn't cocaine" on a bag of cocaine doesn't magically transform the contents of the bag. The govt's...

Don't apologize to me, apologize to the corona virus.

My apologies, I must have misread the table. Its late, goodnight.

This is bollocks. Mitigation is stage 4 of the government's plan and has never been reached. It attempted containment then went on to suppression. ...

Portraying your own govt. as idiots is not a great way to save face. This is borderline Orwellian. The UK deliberately pursued a strategy of...

That's assuming we messed up. Seems to me to be scrambling to find a face-saving way of not saying "no thanks, they're produced in this country...

Speaking directly to the servile cretin demographic: 1243728576509140993

This would be super persuasive if England's first response to this news breaking hadn't been to come up with extremely poor excuses for why they...

Interesting chart. Freaky how much nations have more than China did on a per capita basis. America catching up fast.

No.

You're still carrying the water for your Dear Leader? Pathetic.

Exactly my point. The purpose is to stop its spread - to do that you need people to stay at home, not to send children to stay with their...

An interesting article regarding what pandemics can teach us - and perhaps, to ponder on how much we actually learn. "The Lessons of the Pandemic",...

The purpose is to stop the spread of a *novel* virus that no human being has ever seen, or has immunity to, but is deadlier than seasonal flu, for...

The real world facts match my beliefs. Nations that prematurely shut down schools without thinking through the consequences spread the virus far and...

You might "think or believe" that it was right to delay school closures, so parents could get things in order, but that's a political decision, and...

I'm saying what I believe. There's no nationalism involved. Hazir made a mistake was I not supposed to correct it?

Rand, there's no shame in admitting that your government was slow to respond, or that mitigation efforts were ill-conceived. Practically every nation...

If that is what the article says the article is wrong. We are buying off the shelf AND buying newly created ones from other manufacturers. Because...

I'm feeling pretty bad because I'm a "hugger" but live alone. Might have filled that physical need from my cat, but she died. Or my kids, but they...

Don't call 911 in an emergency. Have the presence of mind to call 311 during your *health* emergency. Maybe that's just in New York. There's...

wiggin was polite in his response to Lewk's question. Good on wiggin, he rose to the occasion. :up: Now I'm gonna be the nasty bitch: We don't...

Yes, of course. But the federal response hasn't been so nuanced -- they're sending money to almost every household -- because it would take too long...
