There was another video of municipal officials conducting a surprise check on a grocery store to check if they were not jacking up the prices of essential commodities. The policemen patrolling swung into action and whacked the hell out of the officials for breaking quarantine and standing so close to each other.

'Worst-affected nation on the planet! Thank you, Rasmussen!'For those keeping score, the USA is now the worst affected nation on the planet. They overtook China a day before Italy was due to do it. They just cant be second best at anything can they

"Nobody has done this Chinese virus as well as we have. Tremendous numbers all around."
Yeah, I am basically just copying from worldometer here.
Should we be more worried about the US?
A high end grocery store in Toronto was caught selling Lysol wipes for $30. The Premier of the Province was livid and called them out in his daily press conference. Hope he shuts them down the cnuts.

Go Team
You shouldn't be noticing her Yorkshire puddings.
Would be a useful statistic in the coming electionsFor those keeping score, the USA is now the worst affected nation on the planet. They overtook China a day before Italy was due to do it. They just cant be second best at anything can they
Someone was doing something similar on my streetDid you feck?
Why would we need to be worried about a country with a completely screwed up healthcare system, an almost total lack of testing, and a population who think they know best and refuse to be told what to do?
Bloody feckers should be shut down for good
I feel like a more useful metric would be positives per test per capita.For those keeping score, the USA is now the worst affected nation on the planet. They overtook China a day before Italy was due to do it. They just cant be second best at anything can they
Also a country full of people who've spent their lives fantasising about how their guns will save them when public order collapses.
Six times the normal price!
Apparently in France more than 60% of people in ICU are above 65 years old, that age group also represents more than 90% of the deceased.
Guy on RTE saying go online and spend, spend, spend so as to keep the economy going.
I would of thought it otherwise be careful with your money as you don’t know what’s going to happen.

Thanks. Gone further with my GP and have been told im not serve enough to be on the list. Which is worrying me because I know at my worst Im at risk more than the average person. Seems like I might have to go back to working a job that isnt strictly important as I'd struggle getting no money. Athlough im sure im not the only one in that boat .
Bet hes not spending his own money.
I think so, especially with someone like Trump at the helm.
Keeps talking about getting oxygen to them fish???
Think I’ll keep my oxygen for breathing thanks..
Yes, with uncertainty saving money seems sensible.
However, I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting crazy offers from some shops already. Especially photography stuff. So if you do have cash to spare, in the next few weeks there are going to be some real bargains out there.
Can I just say that I initially scoffed when I heard about the NHS clapping thing organised for tonight.
Hearing it tonight genuinely made me and my other half emotional. We've rarely felt valued in our jobs. Thanks to whoever did it. We joined in obviously, loved it.

Because the party currently in power has constantly underfunded the NHS for a decade. The majority of the electorate, i.e. those clapping, voted for them.
The US now has the highest number of cases, more than China.
America is winning again.

Might have a look to see if I can get a bargain although there isn’t anything l really want at the minute.
Exactly. I’m sure Tory voters feel pleased that they’ve done a nice thing though.
The public cant get us PPE. I'd like both, but hearing that tonight gave me a huge swell of pride, something I haven't felt for quite some time. It was enormously, and unexpectedly morale boosting. This has helped so much until we get adequate volumes of PPE.
That said there's always people who will turn this into politics. To them I say feck off with your negativity and let us have this....for once.
The same people who agree with the Tories and feel the self employed are getting what they deserve right now because some fiddle the figures.
You deserve it.
feck everybody else, this whole thing has shown us how many arseholes there are around the world and that's depressing.
But frontline workers buck that trend, and tonight shows there are people willing to just say thank you. Maybe we aren't doomed as a species, maybe the lesser amount of good ones do actually drag the rest forward.
I was referring to actual yorkshire puddings, chiefo.You shouldn't be noticing her Yorkshire puddings.
Huh?
I keep thinking back to that guy who bought all the hand sanitiser that got shamed over social media for trying to sell it at a big profit. I too, share the shock in our lack of compassion and eagerness to take advantage of serious health situations for our selfish gains. But at the same time, a lot of us live in societies where we are routinely told implicitly (and explicitly) that businesses are more important than people, that we are totally responsible for our own inability to better ourselves, and that you need to look out for yourself because society won't. And as I think about that, the guy with the hand sanitiser seems a lot less despicable.
America just seems to have advanced further than other countries on that scale. That's why they can have presenters and politicians on TV telling the older population they should be grateful to throw themselves on to the fire to save the economy.
I heard quite a few stories and watched some videos today with a common theme.
A guy from Liverpool fan TV, saying his sister tested positive and now her whole family and his whole family have been through a two week sickness. 7-8 people with only one tested, but certainly all infected.
Then I read about a fully recovered Arteta talking about how his wife and nanny have been unwell, and his three kids won’t be escaping it either.
These are just people related to the small number that have positive tests.
It makes you wonder, by extension, how many people are slowing getting through this with their families?
I don’t know, these kind of stories are growing and it is giving me hope that we really are further along than we think and that a lot of people are getting through this quite well without hospitalization.

Spain's death numbers today are grim.
And now the US is the showing as the most confirmed cases in the world... but yeah, let's "reopen by Easter".

I keep thinking of The Ring...."seven days"....shit will get terrifying in a week
He had flu and went for a night out with friends, when it was well known where in the midst of a pandemic that presents with flu-like symptoms.
criticising a decision that puts people in serious danger doesn't equate with telling someone not to go for a walk

Also asymptomatic people. My Fiancée is convinced she's had it, she had a fever and a cough all last week but despite being isolated with her I've not felt ill at all.
