That’s around 20% of Italy’s deaths in the past 24 hours.   

And realize that these early cases are getting maximum medical care available from doctors to medical equipment.  Their system is being stressed and a lot of people are dying but their system hasn’t been completely overwhelmed yet the way it happened in China before they went full Totalitarian.

Yeesh, and we are already pushing 3,500 total cases as of this afternoon.   
Tomorrow or Tuesday looks to be our first 1,000 new cases in a single day.  

I’m thinking our numbers will explode more than just ‘growing to 1k/day’ if the testing is actually widespread

It's interesting to read the differences in this board (overall) and TigerDroppings.  Over there a large number are taking a completely different view of the situation than this board.  I probably need to take a hiatus from posting over there because I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall.

Hopefully the bar/restaurant closures are the national norm by the end of today. 
Can't have air travel if the crews can't eat at the layover. I'm not dragging four extra bags like some 80 year old cat herder flight attendant. Shut. It. Down.

Doesn’t matter.  The government will protect these morons from themselves.  Sadly that’s necessary.  Fucking morons.

Yeah, when grannies start getting turned away at the hospitals, you’ll see some serious shit.  

And we will be hitting 2,000 new cases and more a day by the end of this week.

How urgent is his surgery?  If it's stable CAD they may wanna wait.  If he ends up needing a respirator or and ICU bed for any extended period of time, shit could get hairy.  Several local hospitals have cancelled all elective procedures early this week already. 

I'm supposed to get my nuts cut at NorthShore Glenview this Friday (and then sit on the couch with frozen peas on my smoking testicles while I watch March Madness, but alas...), but I don't know whether that makes any sense at this point. Messaged my urologist on Friday and haven't heard back. Still off my baby aspirin regimen until I hear that it's canceled.

Pornhub wants my email to get premium access. I didn't do it. What exactly do I get with Premium that is so awesome?

well, i don't know because i refuse to pay for porn that's ubiquitous on the internet, but i would imagine it's something like the difference between an amateur and a pro drinker. sure, the cheap beer will get you drunk, but once you graduate to the liquor, it's all over.

Your mom's vids are in 8k.

Yeah, you can actually smell her through the screen.

TexAgs was the same way for a while, but either the Houston Rodeo and Montgomery cases spooked them, or some aggy doctors that hopped into the fray have got them on the “this is really bad” bandwagon, such that they have an entire sub forum now

I'm surprised that you didn't just plan on watching Texas play. No sense in feeling like your nuts were cut off twice.

I'm willing to bet that TexAgs has a pretty high per capita population of preppers too. You know they've got raging erections.

That and a shitload or olds.  But yeah, bet they’ve got a lot of preppers.   And they have plenty of vets who are familiar with viruses tearing through herds.

I'd be consulting with the Germans right about now.  They're doing something to minimize losses despite comparable total case numbers.

Well, at least they are already set up to dispose of the bodies.

He has no influence in the administration whatsoever. Never gonna happen.

Still think it’s the biggest surprise, that for all of the fears or the Alex Jones crowd, the feds have been deliberately staying back.  There has been a lack of guidelines on shutting things down.  

I’m guessing Texas will shut down all schools this week.
