The virus usually exponentially grows after the first week of announced cases, which just ended. These clueless fucks are going to get a lot of people killed.

Speaking of getting worse. The Seattle Dragons had over 20K at the game.

Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle has pushed their convention back from next week to some time in the summer (as of now).

A coworker's husband came back from San Francisco and has cold-like symptoms. She's working from home for the next week or so, but we'll see.

Or organizational meeting in Tempe scheduled for next week was canceled today, though.

Coronavirus is delaying the release of the first ever Otis action figure. This truly is now a worldwide, high impact crisis.

Biogen conference at the Wharf Hotel got hit... https://www.bostonherald.com/2020/03/06/bio-hazard-60-head-to-hospital-for-coronavirus-testing-in-boston/

Had a few Biogen people staying at our hotel two weeks ago but no idea if they were actually from out of town or locals as I didn't check any of them in. IIRC there were like 175-200 people at the Biogen event.

"Someone from Tennessee and two Europeans attended the Biogen conference and then traveled home testing positive on Thursday, officials said. The five Bay Staters were tested after Biogen identified them as having close contact with the three sick out-of-towners at the event, officials said."

We are already getting cancellations by people with kids worried about traveling and getting some events at the hotel/around the area cancelled as well.

We are totally unprepared for the next few things that will happen as a result of this. Like everyone being sent home from work and many of those people not getting paid. Or small businesses reliant on consistent business from customers collapsing because there is none.

Went grocery shopping and the toilet paper aisle was full and pristine. Obviously this means my area is completely unprepared and we will be burning corpses in the streets by spring.

So, if it makes anyone feel better, the terrible people nobody likes are also extremely likely to get sick.

Coronavirus: Cases in Spain grow rapidly as South Korea reports big reductions
The total number of global cases has surpassed 106,000, including more than 3,800 fatalities. Over 60,000 patients are reported to have recovered. Get the latest updates from around the world:

South Korea reports decline in new cases for fourth day

South Korea having a declining rate shows what proactive measures and the right government response can accomplish. I feel like the US Dept of Health includes the current admin's neglect in predicting those high rates.

Stories about Trump’s coronavirus fears have spread through the White House. Last week Trump told aides he’s afraid journalists will try to purposefully contract coronavirus to give it to him on Air Force One, a person close to the administration told me. The source also said Trump has asked the Secret Service to set up a screening program and bar anyone who has a cough from the White House grounds. “He’s definitely melting down over this,” the source said.

Well Coachella is happening in a few weeks. I can't see how having it would be a bad idea.
