He seriously looked like he had Corona when he was giving that speech.
I wonder if they are hiding that fact.

I didn't watch it until you mentioned this. He is struggling breathing and has other stress markers going on. It could be just that he's not used to reading off a card, preferring to ad lib, or it may be he's sick. How long ago did he pose with the Brazilian official? Takes about 5 or so days to show.
 
2 cases in my city. Schools closing now.
Let's get ready to rumble.

It was last weekend, so the timing is about right

There is something to be said for the Chinese option of mass building hospitals.

Just use better materials so they don't collapse like the Chinese one did.

I think its just off the card reading. He's a bit out of his depth dealing with the crisis and is trying to look more traditionally Presidential but its not a natural fit for him. Coronavrius is an enemy which he can't face the way he usually deals with things.

idk why but this makes me laugh a lot.
The visible confusion on his face that I imagine is very satisfying.

Absolute lockdown is not possible because in this day and age, no city is capable of surviving without trade. There are multiple stocks required by any settlement. Of these, livestock and humans are most susceptible to the COVID19. Hence, it is necessary to strictly regulate the flow of these stocks to significantly reduce the chances of spread. Goods, however, should still be supplied and used sparingly. Production will significantly slow down and hoarding will only weaken the defenses of cities. Panic buying will only hurt you more than give you gain. Imagine misplaced stocks. It's like loading up fats and carbs on your tummy instead of in your boobs. Imagine hospitals running out of sanitizers where the disease is more likely to spread. You in your household of 3, however, has a mountain of it. Cargoes can still come in and out of cities but people handling these goods shall be treated as front liners. They should be equipped and protected. Being a hoarder means you're the type of person who lets people die for your selfish gain.

Capitalists hoarding for economic gain are ass shit opportunists. Buy stocks if you wish to maximize profit out of this. Capitalizing on human frailty is plain ass sadist. Meanwhile, people politicizing this are also flatly idiots. This is a crisis against humanity, not your political opinion. Fudge off. You are no worse than that asshole who screams and throws an axe for access to one roll of toilet paper.

Stay sanitized. Practice good hygiene. Get some sleep. Stay healthy.

Unless of course you're like Hitler and you like people dying, then by all means, carry on.

You would be surprised what people will do when desperation kicks in and there is real fear, locking down a big city even if it only has a placebo effect can certainly happen specially when the governing authority decides to save face. One of the problems with westerners is the lack of experience and the need to always stay positive even if it meant collectively putting their heads in the sand until it is to late to act making the said problems much worse. The best thing most people can do is social distancing and staying home when possible.
 
My SO just called to say all his St Patrick's Day gigs were cancelled and he expects his job to be put on hiatus by mid-next week. *sigh*
So, there goes a high percentage of our income for however long.

Also, don't expect movie/TV releases and seasons to come out on time.

He's panicking a little over the shut downs and told me to call the pharmacy and get an extra prescription of my medication.

Not a bad idea. If shops and pharmas shut down its worth having a little spare if you can get it.
