Greenland still no cases.

Walmart is taking this serious enough to offer their employees emergency paid leave. Walmart. Also Olive Garden. They’ve never done this for the flu. If they’re taking things seriously maybe you should as well.

Demand is down because the coronavirus is slowing down the economy already creating price pressures. Which is why the Russians/Saudis were having talks. However, instead of all parties agreeing to slow production, they said fuck it. We’ll increase production.

Oil is cheap because demand is lower and indicates a global economic slowdown.

Yay?

I would argue that in the short term (12-18mo/until we get a vaccine) it is bad to terrible because there is no immunity to slow the spread. Once there’s a vaccine that the elderly and healthcare workers and those of us who believe in herd immunity get and the spread slows it will be similar to the flu.

While Coronavirus fears are certainly a factor (and absolutely the underlying reason), everything I’ve read indicates the sudden decline was because of the Russian/Saudi oil tift. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/08/opec-deal-collapse-sparks-price-war-20-oil-in-2020-is-coming.html

I’m not much of a country music fan but I love their non-apology video.

While inspired by and about Maine’s divorce, opening with the Daisy Ad makes it clear it is also very much a political statement about our lying president and the rest of the republican party.

Thank you! Some news show even recommended water. Why? It’s not an earthquake. If it gets so bad the taps stop running that case of water isn’t going to get you far.

I second (fifth) O’Keeffe’s. A teacher told me about it a few years ago and that’s my go to work lotion. Rather than petroleum jelly for overnights, I recommend

So you’re saying I should move to Greenland before they close their borders.

It’s an objectively bad movie but absolutely okay that you love it. I absolutely love Strictly Ballroom and recommend you watch it if you haven’t. Or even if you have.

Oh my god. I forgot about that. We used to go in college on a hung over Sunday afternoon and make nachos covered in Wendy’s chile. I don’t even remember what else they served but we went there on the regular. We’d also go to Ponderosa so we could sneak out a few of their small trays as they were perfect rolling joint.…

Except Bloomberg. They’re both bad but Bloomberg is worse.

First, he’s a social democrat not a “scary” socialist. Supporters (assuming you are a supporter) should be clear on that to maximize his support .

I’m sure many employers are. I work at a hospital and I’m sure there will be many plans and precautions.
