Oh, just you wait - we're not more than two weeks out from the Fox News narrative being the emergence of a COVID-19 strain in the US that is FAR MORE DEADLY than what anyone else has had to deal with. Most likely because Obama, or perhaps the orientals.

So much worse than even Dear Leader predicted. Because he was given faulty data....and off to the work camps with those responsible.

And then, naturally, when testing rates (very belatedly) approach responsible levels, and the mortality rate evens out since we're not testing only those with live, severe symptoms, this will be retconned as a DRAMATIC VICTORY FOR TRUMP.

You could set a watch by the bad faith.

It was part of his master plan. Securing only our southern border kept the virus to manageable levels.

Current US logic: use the kits on 5 healthy people: KC is COVID Free!

You mean the part about "work camps?"

Ahhh fuck.

Just canceled SXSW.

Boomer and Gen-X hipsters gonna be pissed!

I was supposed to attend a Rah-Rah conference for all outside counsel for a Fortune 500 company at their headquarters next month. They cancelled it today.

At least some good comes out of COVID-19.

bu...bu...muh (Jew-hating) Roger Waters!

$500 million loss to the city of Austin. In taxes alone.
Many hundreds of businesses rely on SXSW AND ACL. Without one, they are fucked.

Heard a report that there is a confirmed case in one of the Lexington hospitals.

Probably the one Mrs 99 works at.

Maybe Kudlow can drop by and tell you that it's contained.

Are those responsible for the decision in witness protection yet?
Example number 1,783,917 of why I say we live in a highly overrated country - No one really knows what the fuck they should or shouldn't do in terms of the virus - including our "leaders" and the "experts".
Might as well shut down the entire country just to be safe.

Might be a good year to attend. Crowds will be down. Could be fun.

Yep. Serious issue.

I shouldn't have made light of it.

A huge blow to the country's second-largest state economy.

Not good.

It will undoubtedly have a serious ripple affect...starting in Texas. For now

First confirmed case of coronavirus here in Omaha a few hours ago. A woman who just returned from the UK.

It's here.

Yup, the news just confirmed it. She's on her way in for the night shift.

I'm getting a hotel room.

My wife called this evening. Confirmed case at Children's Hospital in Dallas.

Older people are now being told to basically confine themselves to their homes unless it's necessary to go out.

If there is a God, he/she/it is either laughing at the world or crying right now. Can't figure out which one. I'm doing neither - I'm just angry. Very angry. Blows my mind that we don't have the ability to prevent this shit from happening.
