So coronavirus is definitely going to kill a few of us.

Yeah the people in the princess ship are going to end up ok so long as

1. You have a balcony
2. You are not the CEO or a Doctor where you absolutely had to be back to work in 10 days

They getting a complete refund

They getting everything free while they were on the ship including shopping,excursions and booze

They getting compensated X amount of $$

They getting another comparable cruise in a similar cabin in the future

They are picking up travel arrangements back home


If you had to be back for work you are fucked but I guess this is a shit happens situation

If you have an inside room they only letting you out above deck for 2 hours a day in cycles.... and you need to wear gloves and masks.

not sure if you read the articles; the masks/gloves rule is totally unenforced, there is absolutely no real quarantine area in place, people lean over balconies to talk to each other with no masks, its just a complete star spangled shit show.

so two people died who were on that ship

too lazy to search/look but has anyone mentioned the 2020 Olympics yet?

What are the odds they have to move it from Tokyo to somewhere else?

LOL Team Trump pushing for the Americans on that cruise being flown back to the US against the recommendation of the CDC, only to later have revealed that over a dozen of them were infected without the other evacuated Americans on that flight knowing it.

The olympics has aids already.

The mechanism for transmission appears to be so aggressive and unknown it's literally irrelevant what you do to protect yourself.

Imagine boxing deontay wilder but you get to take a self-defense course right before the bout. Like the self defense course, these masks are worse than useless.

Tomorrow (Friday) stock market close should be interesting. Doubt anyone wants to leave their loot in the world's biggest casino over the weekend while this thing spreads like wildfire through the planet.

Stock market > 1% down tomorrow and 20% + before this thing shakes out.

Still not a trending topic on Twitter - your best barometer for how serious this is.

One of the U.S. State Department’s evacuation planes was loaded with 328 Americans on Monday when new lab results came back showing that 14 of the passengers had tested positive for the coronavirus. The CDC’s principal deputy director, Anne Schuchat, recommended that the 14 passengers be taken off the plane and receive medical attention in Japan. But Trump officials like Robert Kadlec, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at HHS, disagreed with the CDC, according to the Washington Post.

Kadlec, who previously worked as a special assistant to President George W. Bush and serves as a member of the Trump regime’s coronavirus task force, reportedly argued that the planes that had been chartered by the government contained seats which could be cordoned off for any infected passengers. This news wasn’t shared with the other healthy passengers on the flight, many of whom only learned about flying with infected passengers after they landed in the U.S. and saw news reports.

Yeah we had been stable at 15 cases for a few weeks. If these new 12 infected the other passengers, and that leads to any serious outbreak, that’s going to be a real issue. Given how contagious this shit appears to be, putting 12 infected patients on a plane seems crazy.

Macau is opening right on schedule.

It’s a Wynn for everyone

Encore! Encore!

Buy the hope

Sell the reality of the open


Boston Encore announced revenue dropped too 2 days ago. That was cause of aids not virus


Why isn’t this thing zero?

Once again on this issue, clearly the CDC didn’t like the cut to funding in Trumps latest budget. I found this excerpt particularly interesting because I could see this turning into a pretty damning campaign ad if this thing ever catches fire in the US. The DNC might start smuggling Chinese here.

It reads like a list of cases we had contained at 13 for weeks in this row and now these new 21 cases brought to you courtesy of the Trump administration.


The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will now track confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in the United States in two separate and distinct groups: those repatriated by the US Department of State and those identified by the US public health network.

What this means: By these new metrics, there are now 21 confirmed cases among repatriated Americans and 13 confirmed cases among Americans first identified on US soil, said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Disease.

in the last few days, really for the first time, im seeing hugely established personalities on twitter losing their fucking marbles over our total inability to respond to this appropriately.

note that 90% of the people i follow on twitter are republican day traders / hedge managers. and they are all caps locking at @realdonaldtrump, and they are all terrified.
