The United States and Germany are vying to produce an exclusive vaccine against the coronavirus which is being developed in a German laboratory, Die Welt daily reported Saturday

According to the paper, US President Donald Trump is trying to poach German scientists working on an experimental vaccine against a global health threat that has now killed some 5,500 people with a view to having an exclusive licence rolled out in the United States.

Such a vaccine would be "only for the United States," a source close to the German government told Die Welt, though Berlin would reportedly is looking to make offers of its own to biotech firm CureVac, based in the German state of Thuringia.

My hotel's already been hit hard. We are down to just 10 arrivals for today, 8 for Tuesday with 11 people due out, and 9 & 5 respectively on Wednesday... friggin' surreal to see such low numbers for a 275 room hotel.

We would have a much better chance against this virus if the president dropped dead

 

[tekcop]

Nah. Then we'd just have Pence in charge.

As expected, bars and restaurants are closed in Ohio with other states soon to follow.

Bars and restaurants are going to lose a ton of business on St. Patrick's Day which is insane to think about. I have a friend who is still going out regularly (she's been to several parties at bars the last two days) and doesn't seem to take kindly to this self-quarantine thing.

Neither did Italy.

This is why studies said that 40-70% of the population will get infected.

My girlfriend's InfoWars loving dad, who is on dialysis, was doom and gloom thinking that he was definitely going to die. So it's either a good sign of people like that are taking it seriously or maybe he just thinks we should declare biological warfare on China.

Massachusetts is closing down all bars and restaurants (except for takeout) on Tuesday until at least mid-April.

NYC public schools are officially closed until April 20th (and possibly the rest of the school year). I think they'll announce bars and restaurants next any day now.

The bright side of that hopefully means I get more BZ in chat!

Also all gatherings are limited to 25 people or less I believe.

California governor Gavin Newsom called for bar closures and for restaurants to reduce their capacity by 50% earlier today. Apparently it is not mandatory, so you might guess that many of these dipshit bar owners don't take it seriously and have decided to remain open anyway.

So Disney fans and tatted aging Gen Xers wearing bowling shirts and wallet chains are going to get hit hard. OK.

Went grocery shopping to top off on stuff for the next few weeks. Things were pretty normal actually, though I experienced #Toiletpaperpocalypse first hand with a completely empty aisle and there was no chicken at all.

Now the isolation begins.

Word is the national shutdown starts tomorrow. Hospitals and health centers are being notified now.

Idk if it's possible to do a full scale national shutdown like in Italy or Spain. I think Governors are gonna have to make the call for their individual scause lord knows President Agent Orange isn't going to do the right thing.

Mayor Marty Walsh is shutting down all major construction sites in Boston which is huge since Boston has almost as many construction sites as Saudi Arabia at this point.

Canada is closing its borders to everyone except America for reasons Trudeau didn't do a very good job of explaining.
