Re: Coronavirus
Went to the grocery store for fruits and yogurt; the parking lot was packed. I turned around and went back home...not worth it.

Re: Coronavirus
Each year 250,000 people in the US seek help for pneumonia (meaning there are more that don't) and 50,000 die of pneumonia in the US every year.

Re: Coronavirus
My parents waited two hours in line this morning at the grocery store.
I told them they probably got the virus waiting that long in a store packed with idiots like themselves.
Re: Coronavirus
Had breakfast at Chick Fil A with my sons. They're no longer using trays. Everything is served in to-go bags. I guess that will stem the tide of coronavirus.
They still say "my pleasure" every time I say "thank you", so I said "thank you" about five times. It's the little dance I do with the Chick Fil A people. It's a passive aggressive thing on both sides. Everyone sees through it.

Re: Coronavirus
What are they supposed to do, Trip? If everyone would just buy groceries as they need them like usual there wouldn't be huge crowds and empty shelves.

They were panic-buying stuff, like toilet paper (surprise!). This wasn't their usual jaunt to the grocery store.

Many states & big cities have shut down schools, but not NYC, despite a Chinese Virus breakout.

Re: Coronavirus
I'm just pointing out the stupidity of asking an entirely profit-based industry like Pharma to behave "otherwise" for goodness sake
Its a level of naivete and simple-mindedness that surprised me...
and
my thoughts on "how" companies should behave is irrelevant
the rules are already in place the standard is set
profit first - everything else second

Re: Coronavirus
Of course its profit 1st for any lasting business, everything else 2nd. If a business doesn't make a profit, they don't stay in business.

Re: Coronavirus
Get ready for domestic restrictions next. Banning large public gatherings is going to slow down the spread. But 3 things where you still have people crammed together spreading the virus : commercial passenger air travel, busses, and trains/subways. Going to probably have to stop those for at least a few weeks.

Who cares if people die because of our shitty software that we know is defective and life-threatening
Profit over human life is as old as PG&E and beyond
Who cares if people die because we dump poison in their drinking water
by now expecting anything different is pretty stupid
BTW:
PG&E headed up and largely sponsored the bill that limited humans ability to hold corporations responsible
So poisoning and killing humans is now even less of a concern as corporations are now "not as responsible or accountable"
Thank goodness
