They should be open for delivery IMO. Dine in should be temporarily banned. Bars being shut down is also fine IMO.


Can places that have never delivered suddenly start a delivery service? For example, Ruby Tuesday.

Here in Spain, the shopping hysteria started on Monday, and there hasn't been any serious shortages problems. Yes, at times the supermarkets are missing products, but it only takes them hours or a day max to restock. I suppose it's not too different in the US.


I did my shopping this morning. Only things I couldn't find that I wanted were toilet paper (I still have some), and premade pie crusts.

Italy's population is older than China's I guess.

could be, still that it’s daily death toll has peaked beyond China’s has (that was reported) is alarming

Asian countries know how to deal with this shit. White people cry like a bitch when their freedoms are taken away. Cam could have his entire family drop dead and he'd still bitch about the government restricting rights and regulating the markets.

yeah this isn’t the time to exercise individuality to make stupid personal decisions. one of the drawbacks of the American ethos. doesn’t explain the phenomena in Italy and other nations in Europe though

That, and also that Wuhan has a sixth of Italy's population.

well yeah but it spread out of Wuhan to other parts of China too. i guess it’d be more fair to compare a region of Italy like Lombardy to Wuhan here

i bet your lips are orange from trump's bronzer...


Everything I said is true, lol.

- Obama did draw a line in the sand on Syria/Assad, and then did nothing when it was crossed.
- Trump did warn the Iranians to stop their aggression on his twitter feed, between Christmas and New Year.
- Trump did order the airstrike that took out Soleimani.
- liberals did denounce this airstrike and warned that this move would destabilize the region and draw the U.S. into yet another war.
- as usual, they were wrong.

now gtfo

I wonder how much these kinds of measures are gonna help. Cash availability is nice and all, but will this really save jobs?

I would prefer a rule along the lines of "government orders hospitals and medical centers to test every case where testing is reasonable and will pay for it" as well as "the government will provide sick pay for 2/3 weeks for everyone who had tested positive for coronavirus and therefore cant work because he/she/zhe has to self-quarantine".

It’s part of the redistribution and consolidation of wealth from the working people to the parasitic wealthiest.

How does the federal government deincentivizing the hoarding and sequestering of wealth into static low risk assets and instead making it more profitable to invest and spend, redistribute and consolidate wealth towards the top?
When the ultra rich and the banks actually have to put their money into the economy instead of locking it away in vaults, that's bad for the working people?
