Then you'd have hundreds of thousands of dead.

A couple more and it creates a Democratic Majority in the senate for a week.

I took out zero student loans. F*** fairness. Get us through this alive and without everyone in the country bankrupt. Figure out fairness later.

Please take a look at all Italy’s attempts to find a middle ground. It killed thousands.

One big question - do guys get a year of service time? Does Bryant become a free agent if there's no 2020 season?

A worthy read on the current knowledge of the pathology of this thing. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2020/03/biography-new-coronavirus/608338/

If anyone out there gets one of the worth-their-weight-in-gold tests somehow, please do not go to the gym while awaiting your results.

Until more is known about the progression of this virus and how contagious people are when, there's a huge liability risk even trying something with no fans. They already have a bunch of known cases around the league and almost certainly transmission by Gobert during games. What happens if one of their 60 or 70 year old coaches, or maybe even one of the famous players, dies?

All that is great. That’s what good people are doing. However, if you are going to a beach, or hanging out on park benches, or actually going to your barber or to the last open sit down restaurant right now... That would make you a bad person. We know enough to say that. If you are doing things that enhance the risk of transmission you are trying to murder people. You could kill dozens. You are trying to be a murderer. If you tell your barber you need that haircut now or you insist on sitting down at Panera Bread you are playing Russian Roulette with everyone around you. If I put one bullet in a revolver and held it to the head of whoever is next to me and pulled the trigger because I feel good if I do so... I would be a bad person. Do what you need to do to support your neighbors, but if you increase the risk of transmission by coming into contact with them or things they touch, you are trying to kill them.

Now that you remind me this was supposed to be done weeks ago. Wonder what got in the way.

Wtf? There’s a rattlesnake ridge in Washington that I feature in my natural hazards class due to an actively moving slump landslide. That can’t be the same one right?

The Department of Justice has asked Congress to create legislation that would allow a judge to order a person jailed indefinitely without trial as long as the emergency continues. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/21/doj-coronavirus-emergency-powers-140023 And yes, I support that measure.

The virus can survive up to 2-3 days on plastic surfaces. Every time you sit on a park bench you become a transmission method.

Unfortunately no longer supported by data. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/coronavirus-digestive-symptoms-diarrhea-almost-half-of-patients/

When we go from the current measures to true Martial Law and arresting people in groups in a few weeks, I hope then maybe, just maybe, you'll start to realize that killing a million people so you can get a haircut is an unfair trade.

I realized there is a better metaphor for this. The Endgame is distinctly different if Thanos only gets 5 stones. It’s that last stone finishing the gauntlet that changed the story.

is he rich or an NBA player? This is America, normies don’t get that privilege until they’re near death.

The massive undercounting might be a reason why we're so steep as we're slowly filling in the gap with some occasional tests. But, if people genuinely don't know whether or not they have it, or they don't realize they were just in contact with an infected person because there's no tests, they don't know whether they should quarantine, and that will also accelerate the spread. Both are probably contributing.

We've got to stop it first. Note this fact:
