    Yes, I think looking to Italy/Germany as models will be the best option. Like the whole Germany is 1 week and Italy is 2 weeks ahead of US will give us an idea of what to expect. I mean assuming tests are still being run and no shortages

    Actually if you find a way to Great Britain or England, you could travel to the US.

    Great Britain is not on his list.

    No, because they check where you have been before.

    Hopefully disappeared because she was smart enough to know they would come for her... and not disappeared because they came for her.

    What is going on in Italy? The virus seems to be exploding there despite a fairly rapid response.

    Death toll in Spain increases from 47 to 84
    The death toll from coronavirus in Spain has jumped from 47 to 84 in the last day, according to Reuters citing the country’s health ministry.

    Yeah...well it looks Spain will be the next after Italy to get hit hard.

    The Ministry of Justice has put some new laws here, because of some brainless selfish bastards.

    If you dont follow the orders of CDC for self - isolation => up to 3 years in prison.

    If this leads to a death of a person => up to 10 years in prison

    If this leads to the deaths of multiple people => Life in prison.

    Since some people lack the basic sense of responsibillity towards other people time for the law to intervene.

    Wow. This is harsh but understandable. This is the only way to get the unknowledgeable to get the point of how serious this is.

    They also have made may new laws about work rights.

    Each parent now gets 15 days off work paid by the state to take care of their children if they are younger than 15, but not both parents at the same time. Because the country has closed all schools.
    Also if you are ordered to self isolate, since this is forced by the state and its not your fault, the state pays for your loss and you dont even lose your sick leave days from your job.

    So if someone even with all this, in a time of national emergency is walking around ignoring the CDC he should go to prison. Every citizen can call and report them.

    I mean we just came back from being almost bankrupt. But better bankrupt than dead.

    they are just waaaay behind measuring true case load so it takes a couple of weeks to see the quarantine work, just like in China.

    Jay Williams had to stop the discussion on Get Up! this morning, & take a moment just to express how furious he was over the internet hate Rudy Gobert was getting over this. "We've all done ignorant things!"
