Trumps going to have a major issue with Florida. He's clearly trying to frame himself against the Democrat governors in states with major cases like WA, CA, NY, and LA. He's going to stand up and claim everything is perfect and it is the Democrat governor's fault. He'll get lunatics like Dan Patrick in Texas to follow along. It's just to shift the narrative away from him and to pin the economy on the Democrats.
But Florida, with its Republican governor and rapidly expanding outbreak isn't going to play nicely with Trump's figmental world. So either DeSantis is going to oppose Trump or he is going to allow Florida to go off the cliff.

He'll find a way to make sure Florida is the fault of Democrats. He'll probably say other states got in the way, or something. Democrats not signing bill to help Florida! New York stealing precious facemasks and testkits from Florida! They want people to die!
The thing is that GOP governors even in the rural states are going to have problems in their cities, and an overwhelmed healthcare system kills much more than just COVID victims, it increases mortality across the board and triggers a panic response across the community because they can't believe it could happen to them.
Trump's just going to shift blame on the states and the Democrats, it doesn't matter if they are GOP governors or not it's never ever going to be his problem.
My Rewe has been cleaned out for the last two weeks almost. No bread, no pasta, very little canned food, no toilet paper / kitchen rolls / tissues obviously, lots of other empty shelves. Feels like this is really starting to impact my health; my diet is awful on top of not being able to go to the gym.Most bread was gone when I went to the Edeka mark at 8:05 am but I got what I wanted.
I guess it wasnt enough that my aunt in Puerto Rico is already dead of this virus, but an uncle who lives but five miles away from me was admitted into an ICU facility with respiratory failure while the rest of his family, four teenagers and his eldest children are placed under strict quarantine.
But nah, lets get some speedrun strats going so all the wage slaves can choke to death, kill their families while the elites can sit safely on the sidelines and make bank, because thats the fucking american way.
Is there a test to see if you've had the virus and are immune?
China is lifting the quarantine on April 6th. That's good news. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202003/24/WS5e7991d0a310128217281917.html
Even if you disregard the death rate among younger people, there's still a 20% hospitalization rate among all infected.
Is that a good thing or not? Like is it a good idea to have a Virus in your body like that even if it seems harmless?
He is going to lift it in most states and just hopes for the best. NY etc. will probably stay locked down. Trump and Corona is like someone trying to cross a highway with 4 lanes... he just closes his eyes and starts running, hoping he makes it through.Prediction: Trump will say "I'm unilaterally lifting restrictions! State of emergency is over!"
Then some dumb people will try to restart business. A ton of people will get sick.
The Chinese and the Democrats will be blamed, simultaneously.
The Netherlands are not fucking around it seems. Gatherings of more than 3 people are banned until June.
Dutch gov't bans public gatherings until June 1 due to coronavirus
AMSTERDAM — The Dutch government on Monday said it would strengthen an existing ban on public gatherings and extend it until June 1 as the Netherlands grapples…nationalpost.com

yep. Good. I think they're handeling it pretty well. But the coming 4 weeks will be crucial in trying to make this work. Hopefully the naieve people get it as well now.The Netherlands are not fucking around it seems. Gatherings of more than 3 people are banned until June.

Always doing the right thing? 🤔
We have tons of viruses in our body. Some are harmless, some are beneficial even. For viruses that is the end state as it makes the best conditions for their living.Is that a good thing or not? Like is it a good idea to have a Virus in your body like that even if it seems harmless?
It's difficult because a til-June ban is asking for a huge second wave. They lift the lockdown, people begin mingling again, then BAM one foreigner comes in with the virus and everyone starts getting it again.The Netherlands are not fucking around it seems.

Have they closed non-essential stores and workplaces? If not, they are still running behind.The Netherlands are not fucking around it seems. Gatherings of more than 3 people are banned until June.

So...
Is California doing it right? Because their numbers are way less per population than other states and they started off as one of the hotbeds...
To some extend.Have they closed non-essential stores and workplaces? If not, they are still running behind.
They haven't completely, but a lot of stores have closed themselves and to be frank, most people stay away anyway or follow the SD rule.Have they closed non-essential stores and workplaces? If not, they are still running behind.
There is no lockdown, people are free to move, go to work (not preferred), sport and what not: just not in groups and at a distance of 1.5 meters. The June 1st date is also more to give clarity for bigger scale events (festivals, memorials etc. that happen in April/May), because those require multiple meetings, planning and cost alot to cancel. Horeca, schools etc are still banned until April 6th as of now and that ban can be lifted or relaxed (not saying it will) earlier than June 1st. It can also be extended in shorter increments or beyond June 1st. The virus and the extent to how the measures are working is leading for this, of course.It's difficult because a til-June ban is asking for a huge second wave.

The testing isn't where it needs to be here in order to really say yet.So...

Our containment is very "light" and unfocused compared to China.Extrapolation directly from my ass is we (in France) should be ok by end April or early may then, as confinement began one week ago...
Yeah - Totally agree.The testing isn't where it needs to be here in order to really say yet.
Our containment is very "light" and unfocused compared to China.
Oh, so it's social distancing? That's fair enough. Putting a firm date on it is a good idea wrt larger organisation movements.They haven't completely, but a lot of stores have closed themselves and to be frank, most people stay away anyway or follow the SD rule.

Fuck ! I saw him live in 2016 in Le Havre and in 2017 in Marciac. I'm sad.First celebrity death due to covid here in France.

South Africa cases rise to 554 as nation prepares for 21-day lockdown
South Africa's confirmed number of coronavirus cases rose to 554 on Tuesday from 402 a day earlier, as businesses raced to make plans for a nationwide lockdown from midnight on Thursday.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the 21-day lockdown in an address to the nation on Monday, saying Africa's most advanced economy needed to escalate its response to curb the spread of the outbreak.
South Africa has the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in sub-Saharan Africa, and public health experts are worried that the virus could overwhelm the health system if infection rates rise steeply.
