Damn it took this long for New York to declare state of emergancy?

Also, NYC still has schools going, but nobody is showing up lol, attendance rates are like ridiculously low

I live in NYC and most schools were closings, some schools just wanted to wait until they have legal confirmation to do so.

We just got the first confirmed case in my city a few hours ago (it’s all over the local news) BUT I have sources at a local hospital who say there was already someone quarantined a couple weeks ago so idk what to believe

Too late I’m getting ready to go out to the clubs tonight

Some advice from a Chinese liddo:

1. Take this seriously enough, but don’t panic. Sometimes what we suspect might be COVID 19 symptoms such as headaches and chest pains are just results of our excessive paranoia and stress. (I’ve been there myself)Stay at home, avoid unnecessary contact, and you’ll be fine.

2. Don’t indulge yourself too much in news about the virus, for it might cause vicarious traumatization (in simpler terms, our empathy for those who suffered might induce too much sadness and negativity in ourselves). Try to focus on something else. Watch a movie, read an interesting book, or stream Stupid Love.

Chinese liddos have been there months before, so this is all speaking from my own experience. Stay safe, send love to each other, and we’ll pull through together.

Finally, my anti-social tendencies come with an excuse

72,000 + recoveries out of 145,000+ cases is actually very comforting. That's good news.

A lot of scary  articles out there. This one came out today and concerns Italy and how their health care system is reaching it's breaking point. They have no choice but to play God because of limited resources/personal.  The US "could" be here in a month. It scares me cause I'm an old dude.

ROME — The mayor of one town complained that doctors were forced to decide not to treat the very old, leaving them to die. In another town, patients with coronavirus-caused pneumonia were being sent home. Elsewhere, a nurse collapsed with her mask on, her photograph becoming an icon of overwhelmed medical staff.

This chart can be very helpful in deciphering symptoms between the common cold, flu and Coronavirus. Don’t know how to post the actual picture here. Maybe someone else can?

Michigan and New York both have declared states of emergency. Perhaps others as well. 

Oregon too. Washington had more cases than us so I wouldn't be surprised if they did. 

[Delaytica 7,615]

Oregon schools are closed until the end of March (for now). WA schools closed thru April 24. (If you don't know, Washington state had a large outbreak in a nursing home)

I live in Portland, OR which is close to WA . Majority of large social events have been cancelled. Majority of childcare is cancelled. My busses have seen a LARGE decline in passengers and tonight (Friday night) the streets are empty downtown...

Grocery stores have little to no toilet paper and cleaning supplies. My friend in WA went to 4 stores (2 Walmart, 1 Fred Meyer, 1 Safeway) and all sold out of tp.

Last time I checked, masks were sold out on iTunes.

I AM SCARED BY HER POWER

IS HER NO 1 DEBUT ON LOCK?

I want to recommend everyone to check the subreddit r/COVID19, its the best one for expert opinions, no fearmongering, clickbaiting titles, etc etc, and they are following all the incoming treatments very closely

[Snorlax 4,236]

I'm so scared hunties!!! Not of getting corona, but the economy collapsing!!!

[Bubblegum Bitch 18,929]

I like this COVID-19 situation. It perfectly shows that modern world is not as strong as many people could think.

My sleepy ass opening this thread and wondering why Chromatica Discussion has only two pages and no talk about Gaga...
