Shake hands? That’s so American. He should immerse himself in the culture!

I think the main reason the numbers haven’t exploded is that there aren’t enough tests.

Nothing says “Welcome to Hell!” like a Trump rally.

Bethenny’s shame-the-rich theory may be admirable, but her arithmetic is awful. If 607 billionaires each donated $10m, that would be $6.o7b, not $6.7b. She’s off by $630,000,000 (which is a lot of money).

Very off topic, but that photo up top look like it should have some Street Fighter characters fighting on it.

Given how easily this disease is spread, I have to believe that there are tens of thousands of undiagnosed cases in the U.S.

I think people must be paranoid about pandemic supply chain disruptions. It doesn’t help that the news has been recommending people stick their pantries with dry and canned goods like you would if you were expecting a hurricane.

“I feel like people are just buying anything they can because they think everything will be gone. The fear of scarcity and missing out seems to be driving the panic buying.”

Yup, people seeing all the toilet paper gone on tv (why toilet paper?) and think, I’d better some toilet paper before it’s all gone! 

I mean, I’m not young myself - I’m 53 - and I get that you get set in your ways and run out of fucks to give as you get older. I think it’s going to take a lot more deaths before people like this have to take it seriously, and the scary part is that if we get to that point, it’s going to be too late.

We had enough, so we didn’t buy any. It was very…

Postcards from Hospice: Sometimes You Have to Walk Away Before You Want To

Is anyone else getting the impression that a lot of the older adults we’re supposed to be protecting with all this social distancing think it’s all a lot of nothing?

if i were his family the state would have a nice fat lawsuit coming their way

These saved my life in 1990. A drunk driver trying to make an offramp sent me into them at ~50mph in a flimsy Rabbit GTI. It was the ONE time in my life I was driving without a seatbelt. We were all seriously bruised up but fine.

These are the kinds of articles I love Jalopnik for. Super interesting read in to a subject I don’t think many of us thought about prior to today.

And all of those really stupid warnings on everything is because some idiot did whatever the warning says not to do.

It’s very sobering to realize that almost every major safety innovation in existence today was likely the direct result of human lives lost in some tragic way.
