Uh-huh.

We're already beyond that point. We should have been on full lockdown at least a week ago.

He should absolutely be putting those measures in place, and so should the entire country. They work. Instead you have fuckwits like Florida just figuring out in the last day or two that, oh, hey, maybe we should think about closing our beaches.

Real talk though, Kyousougiga is a heartwarming (and batshit crazy) story about the importance of family, so that'd be a feel-good pick.

Boku no Pico.

You heard it here folks, hurricanes follow the same exact tracks every year. Who needs sophisticated modeling being run on massive computer clusters to determine cones of uncertainty when you can just stick your head outside and see if it's windy?

Are you being deliberately obtuse, or does it just come naturally to you? The start of the very first small-scale clinical trials does not mean we're going to get this thing in just a couple of months. These things take substantially more time, as the efficacy and possible side-effects of any vaccine have to be thoroughly understood before approval, and then the actual production has to start (which even for the seasonal flu vaccine, something we understand very well, starts months in advance of each flu season). Even if your random guesses happened to be correct, it wouldn't make them any more based on actual comprehensive understanding. No, I don't need a meteorologist to tell me it's raining now, but I sure as fuck need one to tell me the most likely path a hurricane will take, or the probability that a given frontal system will produce severe weather tomorrow. But hey, novel vaccine development is just as simple as sticking your head out the window and looking up at the sky, right?

Get ready for FOUR WEEKS OF GIANT HAND-FIGHTING ACTION!!! (Also the fact that Kubo's going right back to Jump to serialize something else finally murders the "oh no his editors ruined Bleach's ending" excuse.)

Subtitle: "...because I didn't socially isolate and avoid crowded places."

If you're not a virology expert, you don't really have any place speculating about timelines. Let the people who know what they're talking about do the talking.

...literally every single consulted expert is saying that a vaccine will take AT LEAST 12 to 18 months to be ready for mass distribution. Where are you getting this incorrect info?

Pretty much every epidemiologist consulted has said that blanket travel bans accomplish very little at this point. The virus is already widespread across the country. The concern isn't spread via someone from Europe, it's spread via close social interactions, hence social distancing. As you said, it's comparatively easy to screen people at airports; the real challenge is finding out who has it in a community (which is made exponentially harder when the asshole-in-chief royally fucks up the initial response). The only real chance a travel ban would have is if you went all President Madagascar and locked down every single border before the virus started to spread, but that would have been impossible. And no, you should ABSOLUTELY NOT automatically go to the ER if you have a fever. That is a fantastic way to either expose yourself to illness or expose someone else. Stay at home, call your primary doctor, and follow their advice. If they recommend some sort of testing be done, they'll let you know how it should be accomplished. There's a reason hospitals and cities are trying to set up drive-through testing stations: they don't want infected individuals putting others at unnecessary risk. Obviously if you're in any sort of immediate respiratory distress, then go the ER or call 911.

Someday I will stop laughing at these. It is not today.

If the virus is already endemic in the country, shutting the borders accomplishes little. It's too late at that point.

Pence should be an expert at epidemics. I mean he directly caused an HIV one in Indiana.

Jman is literally the only person who cares about that show either way.

Nothing about what they've said is an over-exaggeration.

derp

Oh shit you got me now son.

Aww, triggered by a few downvotes? Poor snowflake.

Even worse is needing to shit right after you take a shower.

We've barely seen a flake of snow this winter, and it's going to be almost fucking 60 next week. Fuck this year.

Poke what are you even talking about.

zefrank is dormant for two years and then starts slinging fire like this. It's a beautiful thing.
