Trudeau's wife is experiencing symptoms and he's self-isolated himself.

Yeah I just saw that. At least the Trudeau's are young and fit unlike most world leaders.

She tested positive so good chance Justin has it too.

The Anaheim Convention Center had several events get cancelled. I have no idea when I'm going back to work.

Australia's cabinet has a minister who was in a meeting with the PM and likely infected everyone. Bearing in mind this is the same fuck whose climate policies helped contribute to Australia burning, this disease might take out some fuckers who are really prominent in actively destroying the world. This loser is also not going to quarantine himself and is instead going to go to church.

COVID-19 is in Portland. A woman in her 20s so no chance I've made any bodily contact with her.

Governor here recommending but not requiring events with over 250 people be canceled. Me and Pops Kamala might still go to that Led Zeppelin tribute band next week yet. :-\

The Jazz have come into contact with more people than just about anyone because of the nature of their jobs, so confirming if they have it is pretty important so they can start figuring out who else might have it. Also, you test people to find out if they have it or not...that's what tests are for. And at least two of them DID have it.

Mayor of Miami has tested positive for coronavirus. He was part of the delegation that met Jair Bolsonaro at The White House with Trump.

Looks like some of the libtards here's hopes of Trump contracting corona might come true!

Apparently one of the Utah Jazz players went to the Boston ENCORE Casino (for just an hour) but interacted with 7 staff members and thus the casino has shut down and are telling their employees to stay home on paid leave.

That's my bigger concern is these athletes/actors/general populace who tested positive going out to local areas (whilst infected) and contaminating those areas with knowledge only coming well after the fact.

Brian Kemp is an election to fill a vacant seat on the Georgia Supreme Court and says he'll appoint the judge himself.

Might be a preview of things to come. Ay yi yi.

And Louisiana postponed their Presidential Primary.

Have to wonder if Florida, Ohio, and Illinois will do same thing. They're scheduled to vote next Tuesday too IIRC.

Trump is about to declare a national emergency, he wants to speed up the distribution of testing kits. Presser is about to go live, should get more details soon.

I'm ready to call it: if Ivanka has it, then it's for sure that Tang the Conqueror has it, too.

If they don't have it yet, they will still be among the first people to get it. These people aren't cancelling in-person meetings, which is really insane to me. It goes up the chain like so.

patient -> doctor -> supervisor -> hospital director -> regional health director -> state health directors -> bureaucrat connected to the people connected to the administration -> health crisis team -> Trump administration


Depending on some things it can skip a few of those steps.

My job just announced our office is closed until further notice. They told us to prepare to work from home for at least 4 weeks.

Things are crazy in Ontario right now with store shelves emptying. I've got enough food and supplies to last awhile and am camping in effectively immediately.

My plant just sent out a memo telling people to sit away from each other at break and lunch time. Encouraging people to eat in their cars. And no more meetings with everyone. They also claim that my department is going to keep truck drivers from entering the building and vetting them about their travel. Not fucking happening.

Wow that's a long break in Boston. We have students on Monday and are then off until 4/13. We're supposed to create packets or Google classrooms, but that won't be very applicable to me since I teach students with Multiple Disabilities.

I also have an apartment about 300 feet from and uphill from a Kroger's and I am actually concerned with the panic that is seemingly going on here in Ohio. No eggs, TP, or chicken and milk last night. And when I went there at 5:30 am this morning to buy chips and pop for a party at school the UScan line was about ten people deep, which I have never seen before.

I was at Kroger just now. Ample milk TP eggs and some bread. Meat was scarce though.
