People who are homeless are exempt from the order

It means that the order is non-enforceable.

You can’t find beans or rice for the most part. But lentils and quinoa are still on most of the shelves! Good stuff!

Next thing I hear (here) is I'm on lock-down. Fuck them. I am taking the dog for a walk around the police station down the street and see if they want to arrest me.

Where is here? What I read, is that outdoor walks are still OK

There was a single lonely bag of wild rice on the shelf, which, quit frankly, I should have grabbed. Did snag some quinoa, though... Just heard my S.O. snagged some brown rice at Ranch 99; it's healthier, too.

o. when do they shut off the cell towers and the internet, and the armored vehicles start rolling into the neighborhoods?

Nope, gotta keep those towers on...
The massive volume of data collected has enabled the authorities to pinpoint clusters of infection to better target their quarantine and disinfection efforts, and send members of the public text-message alerts to inform them of the past movements of infected patients in their area – even down to the names of shops and restaurants they visited.

The same people who want you to panic about global warming are now going to make you panic over something that has killed 69 people in the USA.

Don’t drive a car, 38,800 were killed in crashes a couple of years ago.

To become more accepted among liberals corona virus self identifies as AIDS. Because inclusivity!!!

This is Trump’s fault as much as someone firing their shotgun through their front door at someone that was on the other side screaming at them is Biden’s fault.

They’re both just a couple of fucktards.

Nah the market will be fine.

Italy has roughly the population of California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington combined. These four states currently have around 1,200 cases. We're at about March 2 on the Italian trajectory; take a look at where we're heading.

I don't really know where to turn for help, so I am posting this here on Patrick.net first. Unlike those dodgy mortgage bonds issued by the banks during the Great Recession, there's no statute of limitations on this. Please feel free to copy/paste this to other sites that may bring in legal help for me. I will be checking back later to answer any questions you all may have.

You mean this has something to do with health care?

I hope you're right. I'm not feeling it..... This is pretty unprecedented stuff in modern times. WWII with the economy shifting to a war economy is probably the closest thing and this virus is killing the last of those people that remember it as we speak.

People really haven't been hit yet. People haven't had to start breaking into their 401k's to stay afloat. Governments haven't seen their revenue plummet because there's no sales taxes coming in from massive industries. Most only hope is that people were loose with cash prior and will come out of this spending like gang busters because they saved a ton by not getting Starbucks and other frivolous shit. All though it likely might make some people wake up to their spending habits, which could be a bad things for the economy.

The big problem is most small businesses are generally 30 days out of going under with no revenue or dramatically reduced revenue. Not sure how a lot of them survive this.

The last three memes have had Yellow fabric.
See that's why the left can't meme, they don't have color coordination.

He needs to talk to Rin.

Wash and reuse your toilet paper.

That would make my ass worse off than it was before.

Trump is too busy breathing through Putin's dick to worry about your dick.

If America Runs Out of TP, It Is Perfectly Reasonable to Wipe Your Ass With the Disembodied Limbs of Libbies!

What a disgusting thought. I mean, how are you going to flush the limbs? Better to use the living tongues of liberals to clean the starfish and save both water and paper.

No disagreement.

You use the shit-covered limbs to finish beating the libby to death before you clean, gut, cook and eat it.

What!! You kill before eating? Your s'posed to eat while alive, like monkey brains. Or at least cook alive. like lobsters. My god, you are a softie.

WTF is going on here, why would a black guy be making TP in China ;)

I don’t want to make it dirtier.

There are 69 deaths in the US, about half of which were in the same nursing home. Almost nobody under 65 died, and I think the one or two people that did had severe chronic illnesses to begin with and qualified for AARP membership themselves.

Problem is that you do not understand exponential growth of pandemic. Here is a quiz- A single lily is the pond spawn a new lily every day and each spawned lily also gets to spawn a new lily everyday. It takes the 100 days to fill the whole pond. So how many days does it take to fill approximately 6-7% of the pond.

I think you are just trying to save your face when in reality you lost the argument long ago. Everyone understands the situation and cooperating with government. Trump so far forgave student loan interest, sent help to states to handle this emergency, and will be sending out checks to people affected. We got this. World isn't gonna collapse.

@Misc that is a LARGE block of text.

Could you summarize the situation in like 7 lines?

It's like we had a Tox+ E.coli pandemic instead!

Everybody, everywhere, has shit flying out they ass!

Me too! I thought it was just moi!

Since so many people won't be buying any more toilet paper for years, I'm sure that the factories will catch up.

Low IQ/High BMI people at my local grocery store all week.

"What if facilities have to shut down if workers become sick?"

How many 80+ year olds work at these factories?

Basically, the Charles Schwab corporation was letting people trade on margin in their IRA accounts, right down to charging margin interest. The IRS isn't going to bust them for it. I was due a large amount of $$ if they did bust them. I am looking for a law firm to sue the IRS for the $$ due me. I am looking for help from anyone who knows a law firm that could help me. --- thanks

LOL

The coronavirus APOCALYPSE is here.

APOCALYPSEFUCK was right all along...

You ants will all kill each other and die...

I'm SCUM!

We need the coronavirus to mutate into a virus that makes people turn into zombies... that attack humans and other living creatures...

Who than become infected and also turn into zombies...

I'm sack of shit... I still didn't die!

Today I “sheltered” in my car and drove up hwy1 to San Francisco.
There was plenty of parking near the Golden Gate and it was nice for taking pictures.
Chinatown was deserted, North Beach had a few people here and there, some pizza places were open, bubble tea and a taco place, so no problem finding food.
Union Square was deserted and eerie, just a nut yelling and a couple of homeless.
I think in a week people will start going out, in a couple of weeks people will wonder why this was imposed on them, and by the third week they will be pissed off at the whole thing and our nanny state.
It’s absurd that the government may give us $1000, but they have Trump over a barrel, if he vetoed it he would be called mean and insensitive to the poor.
A black female I know in S. Florida is pissed at a 9pm curfew in Palm Beach and blamed “whites trying to tell us what to do!”
I laughed “I’m white and I don’t give a fuck what you do.”

Its actually the yellow man. Once this passes, I hope someone in US administration will have the guts to resoundingly condemn the Chinese for eating wild animals and putting an end to this barbaric medieval practice. At a very least a UN resolution condemning and banning eating of wild animals. The Chinese have truly outdone themselves this time and yes they should be ashamed.

I think Trump is painfully aware that the garbage Media, Democrats and Never-Trumpers are itching to make this into a Katrina and sink his presidency as they did with GWBush. We have already seen it by the usual suspects at Patnet.

You all do not get it. This is way way bigger than Katrina. It is a paradigm shift.

It's a virus.... a fucking virus. Stop watching Hollywood movies on this and look at the data. Jesus... I'm starting to think the virus is humans themselves....
