    Most of the churches in Houston (catholic at least), have done this recently. Most of the other major cities did it before Houston.

    I "attended" mass online this weekend.

    I think that this is the time for Albert Einstein famous quote:
    "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
    The craziest thing is that there were 2 mayors that went to this kind of parties.
    At least we have some great chocolate, time to make some chocolate pudding and watch some good movies.

    That's why you must make such announcements and take measures in the morning, effective immediately so the idiots have no idea of the ban and are caught unprepared.

    I am expecting to see also hundreds of thousands of idiots escaping quarantined cities like it happened in Italy and China.
    Like Spain the country must be quarantined all together.

    France : 89 deaths, 921 in ICU.

    I think we are beginning to get a clearer picture on the time each country will be hit now.
    It looks like Spain is in hell and France is about to enter hell.

    Greece has 5 deaths total, none today and 13 in ICU (+2 from yesterday). The CDC said that they estimate there are about 2-3 k infected in the population which I think is an underestimation.
    But it seems like we are still at least 2 weeks behind.
    RIGHT?

    I'm surprised to hear that, I thought doing so without FDA approval would be an automatic nomination for Dr.kevorkian's Award, a suspension or complete hospital shutdown even with patients consents

    on a side note:
    medical staffs were instructed today to carry emergency card along with photo IDs in case there is potential of Road blocks or check points :s

    It is in accordance to the EU directives to give chloroqinue. Along with HIV and other anti arthritis medicine.
    Only in the severe cases.

    They haven't tried the japanese drug yet.

    Whats utter bullshit is the FDA and CDC requirements for being able to test someone. Im in the process of opening a drive-thru testing center at a church but I was notified today by Medicare that BEFORE I test someone they have to show symptoms and need an order from a Healthcare Practioner (PA/NP/MD). Now where the **** am I going to find a doctor that wants to see these sort of patients in a crisis like this? Also they dont want the patients tested UNTIL THEY ARE SHOWING SYMPTOMS. Do these fk tards not realize the incubation stage is 2-5 days and they could be spreading the disease in masses in the meantime?

    This country is ****ed. God damn fkin red tape. We need to be TESTING everyone and get ahead of this ASAP. Im so pissed off that the government can still not get their **** together. Its utter bullshit.

    Has anybody had to do any domestic travel over the last few days? I'm in a situation where I need to travel by flight domestically and wanted to know how the airport scene is. I would imagine both the airport and the plane itself will not have very many people. Before I get lectured to stay home this is a critical situation and unavoidable, I have to do it. I would duck the trip if I could. Also if anyone has tips for how to protect against the virus while traveling I would be interested to know.

    How is the Corona beer brand doing in terms of sales relative to the overall marketplace? Taking a hit or steady or selling more? Genuinely curious.
