OT: All Things Coronavirus Covid-19 - Part XI - MOD ADVISORY POST 1

[Roll 4 Lines]

The thing that I'm wondering is why it's worked out. The Nordic countries haven't been hit hard, whether they've instituted lockdowns or not. Is it because there's not as much travel from other countries, so the virus isn't getting there in the first place? Does it have to do with population density? Do Swedes naturally social distance?

I think one of the important things is figuring out why certain countries have had success and why others haven't. It's great that Sweden has done well, but can any of it translate to the U.S?

I think those Swedish chicks are so hot they kill the virus!

maybe she had her parents membership card with her and was buying for them as well. I want to market basket and got two things of TP when it said one per customer but I was doing two totally separate orders one for me and one for my parents last week. They were fine with it because I paid twice and did two separate checkouts.

I am with you in terms of people not caring and hoarding stuff but if they only took two you never know the circumstances behind the situation so just take a deep breath and tell yourself they are probably doing it to help someone who can't do it themselves. At the very least it will help with your stress level and keep your blood pressure in check.

A little musical stress break. This kinda speaks to what is going on now. Tears For Fears - Curt Smith and his Daughter acoustically recorded 'Mad World' April 4th from their quarantine life in LA.

Did anyone see/ hear the Crosby, Stills and Nash song Helplessly Hoping done by many different people in many different countries ? I thought it was awesome. It is amazing that it sounded so good all things considered. I hope David, Stephen and Graham heard it.

Assuming this is a Costco, I don't know if all warehouses are set up the same, but at my workplace (Halifax Costco) our registers won't allow more than the allowed qty on the receipt. The only way a person can purchase more is to go out, come back in, etc.

it says 1-2 on various signs. When u go to the register they take the extra away. Other than that idk.

registers still take away the extra ones even if two. And different memberships. At least from what I seen.

In a small town on the New Jersey shore, the Manasquan police arrested a group of deer for violating the Governor's orders. They were in the middle of the street, not social distancing, they didn't wear masks, and they were in a group larger than 10.

The courts are closed in NJ, so when their case is scheduled is not known.

The arresting officers were all promoted.

Stay safe, save a life....yours

Maddow is a tool. What 5 countries tho. Italy is one, China? The USA is a big country of course we will have more cases. Do people actually believe the #s China is giving us as well?

immigration should be close. Telling people to stay inside but keeping immigration open? Nope if ur locking down businesses then lock down immigration.

A doctor who led a federal agency helping develop a coronavirus vaccine says he was removed because he questioned the promotion of hydroxychloroquine treatmentent. His name Dr. Rick Bright.
This per the NY Times.

Smells like Trump at work.

The 5 countries with the most cases. Spain, Italy, France ,Germany and the UK.

Why would you be afraid of Immigration if the US is the one with the most cases. This is just another distraction, instead of speaking about Trump incompetence.
