Tax day now put off. Even the filing date now (filing date is the latest part):

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced that tax day will be delayed from April 15 to July 15. He made the announcement on Twitter on Friday, days after announcing a deferral on tax payments but not on filing day.

“All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties,” Mnuchin tweeted.

At @realDonaldTrump’s direction, we are moving Tax Day from April 15 to July 15. All taxpayers and businesses will have this additional time to file and make payments without interest or penalties.

Time to postpone the property tax too.

Not karma: just density, public transportation, uncontrolled immigration, outsized homeless population, etc.

Those second two definitely are the results of Democratic policies. So it could definitely be karma.

China had 3200 deaths out of 81000 cases in a country with 1.4b people which is .04% death rate. Korea has 51b people had 8600 cases with 94 deaths which is .01%. Granted S Korea does more testing but given that line of thinking and getting the results of doing more testing, it seems to me this lends to a DECREASE in the mortality rate. Italy- not sure what's going on there other than they have a LOT of elderly, people kiss each other upon greeting, they live in close proximity to one another and spend a lot of time outdoors together. Even with all that said, so far their rate is still only .08%.

Exactly. And all those deaths concentrated in the old and infirm to boot.

Deaths always go down during an epidemic while cases rise because A) It begins to move into the young and healthy who are highly likely to survive it and B) Increased Treatment Experience.

Last time I went to WalMart, only saw 3 people wearing masks. All of them black.

Drama Queen Disability and Workman's Comp Prepping. Same thing happened at our post office during the swine flu scare, gloves 'n masks and posturing. The Filipinos, Chinese and white people just kept on working, no masks or gloves.

I think you may have missed his joke. The "Black men wearing masks" were bandits.

Lol, perfect!

OK, from now on it's "corona food" and "coronatown"!

After all, if it's wrong to say "China" when talking about the Chinese virus, then it's wrong to say "China" in Chinese food and Chinatown.

Shit keeps getting more real in Italy:

Lombardy, at the epicenter of the epidemic, said about 100 soldiers would soon be deployed to help local police enforce the lockdown, and called on the government to impose new measures to keep Italians at home.
