I think a fair proportion of the world will tolerate the stress caused by this thing if it takes TRUMP out. Wouldn't that be funny? It would be, but there's no way it's going to kill him, not with the access to intensive care he can buy. Fuck Fart will come back even stronger, with a new Resurgam slogan - the Yellow Peril can't defeat Donald of Orange. I'm much more down with Mr Occupants' solution to the world's woes.

shit, I hope he's okay. I want him to live to a ripe old age. I think we should put him in a stall at the zoo so people can throw overripe tomatoes and banana peels at him for the rest of his days. His Admin's response to this thing is beyond ghastly.

The overall problem is how stretched medical services will be, I wouldn't want to develop a 'regular' illness or emergency in the next couple of months.
They've already suspended non-urgent surgery and outpatient admissions in Wales....

I watched a lot of CNN's feature on it last night. The main message is 80% will get mild case, 15% will get more seriously and 5% really seriously.
I've been travelling on the Bay Area's light rail system all week back and forth to jury duty in Oakland. The first time I've taken it in 25 years that I've been able to find a parking place in their front parking lots in front of the station.
Mid-week, I went to the supermarket and people were stocking up on bottled water. I told my son that and he asked, "Don't they have faucets at home?"

I'm just here to coin the term "Sloophemism".

He'll win a landslide re-election on a pledge to sue China into bankruptcy. I say that only half in jest.

Mid-week, I went to the supermarket and people were stocking up on bottled water. I told my son that and he asked, "Don't they have faucets at home?" I just hit several stores looking for distilled water for my CPAP machine (which has a built-in humidifier). I don't HAVE to have the water, but the machine is substantially more comfortable with it. I wonder how many of the people who have denied me my comfort understand that distilled water isn't really meant for drinking (and - as sloop's son notes - even if it were, they probably wouldn't need it).
And yes: not a roll of toilet paper to be found anywhere. I figure I've probably got a week's supply of that, though. With any luck by the time I run out the stores will be re-stocked and the people who have already bought a six month supply won't decide they need more.

I'm blaming Ray's old curse on Liverpool for all of this if the Premier League season is declared void.

So, here's a trick I told my ex. She couldn't find toilet paper at supermarkets or drug stores and I told her to pick it up at stores people wouldn't think of. Every convenience store and liquor store that sells some household convenience items like razors, aspirin, etc., sells toilet paper too. I stopped at a 7-11 on the way home and picked up two 4-roll packs for her.
