NY Governor Andrew Cuomo said he is working to get 9,000 hospital beds in the coming weeks. He and the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut are working together to make sure they can handle the load.

NYC mayor Bill de Blasio says he is expecting the crisis to crescendo in April or May. Everything shuts down tonight... bars, museums, libraries, movie/Broadway theaters, restaurants... the whole city is gonna go bankrupt and small businesses are doomed unless some sort of UBI stimulus or eviction postponement is put into place.

I also developed a cough/sore throat yesterday and kinda felt a fever going this morning but I'm feeling better as the day progresses. Had to get my doctor to send a note to my job, a major retail pharmacy, to make sure I don't get in trouble. My boss was urging me to come in despite my not feeling well. Corporate America, baby! You gotta love it! We also don't get paid sick leave so hopefully me and my coworkers don't get it despite doing upwards of 500+ transactions in the pharmacy every day for the past few days (MUCH higher than usual). We've almost certainly come into contact with it. In fact, the city's task force said they are suspending tracing of confirmed cases and for us to just assume we've come into contact with someone who has the virus.

We're pretty much doomed. However, funnily enough, my working for a giant corporation that I hate is saving me from financial ruin, because they'll stay open no matter what. Gotta get outta here in the next year when all this blows over though. Cannot state how pissed I am at my boss for getting mad at me for not wanting to possibly endanger my numerous elderly and immuno compromised customers.

San Francisco mayor just issued shelter in place, lol. Don't leave your home unless for essential purpose. Errthang shut down.

Crazy times, folks.

We're getting closer and closer. Lots of incremental steps being made along the way to condition us for the coming national quarantine. I think it happens in the next 48 hours. If you need something for the next 8 weeks, better be getting it.

France just banned all non-essential movement.  Army will be used.  Aka martial law for 2 weeks.

While younger generation disregards mass gatherings rules here in US.  

It's why bannings and martial law have to be used. If people just had the sense to listen to good advice such measures wouldn't be required. But, dumb people will be dumb and most young people are dumb about things like this. At 37 with a wife and a kid I have a completely different perspective on the world and life in general now than I did when I was say, 20. 20 year old dumbass me would probably be out there partying it up right now. 37 year old me shakes his head at such dumbasses. Wait a minute... I see some kids in my lawn I need to go yell at now.

Where is this taken from? We experienced a lot of different phases, so this graph is as inaccurate as it gets

Not to mention we have 5.4 times the population that Italy does so that is going to skew that graphic. Italy's rate of infection would be considerably higher based on that data.

Well the data from the Chinese CDC(take that for what it's worth) indicated that 20-29 had a mortality rate of 0.2%. That kind of fits with the "won't happen to me" mentality that exists with that age range anyway. So does selfish and dumb behavior.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
