LOL! Do you think there's a video of that?

You should also wash your hands before and after wearing gloves, it's not like gloves are germ-repellent. Where do you get your data? Scholars are still discussing why Italy has been especially hit, so I don't understand where you're coming from. Also, the infection rate in NYC has unfortunately become twice the infection rate in Lombardy in the space of a few days. It's really hard to measure how many times an entire population bathes (also: it's not related to the virus). I have no clue if Italians bathe more or less than other people. One thing is for sure: each one of us could never live without a bidet in their house LOL your imagery dates back to 1950s.

My heart breaks for these human beings. Not only did they have to endure immense suffering, now this. I just don't know what to say. Early on in this health emergency, I would not refuse to shake hands with anyone because I would never want for anyone to feel 'rejected' or 'infected'. As a Millennial gay man I did not live through the AIDS emergency era but somehow I can empathize a little bit.

Yeah, but I thought the tweets were talking about Netflix's growth in the next few months. You enjoy the documentaries but apparently you're already a Netflix user. I don't see how the platform will attract any new consumers without new products. Because they'll definitely run out of them. We'll see

I don't see how Netflix is supposed to grow and profit if it can't produce anything new, really. People will get tired of the same old pretty quickly.

I'm loving everyone's contribution from all over the world. Very interesting. Thanks guys.

Gloomy ads like that one don't work. Look at Bloomberg's recent campaign. Some of Hillary's 2016 videos. Or watch the film "No" (Chile, 2012). It explains really well why these ads don't work. Trump did make a fool out of himself with those statements but that's not the right way to show his contradictions.

This type of gloomy ads have literally never worked.

REVOLTING.

It's not like you have until 8pm to go and enjoy your life. The danger is already there even before 8pm. Everyone should stay at home, everywhere in the world. Because we are all on the same boat. Better late than never! If the people won't listen, the government should enlist the Army. SARS was not as infectious as the new coronavirus. Hence it was pretty much restricted to some world areas.

I agree. You're feeling guilty because for now there are just a couple thousands of cases. Unfortunately every positive person infects on average 2 to 3 people. So you can do the math. You'll stop feeling guilty in no time. You did the right thing for yourself and for everyone else. I think circumstances like this bring out people's true colors. May I give you some unrequested advice? Be adamant about this. Tell your mom she can't go to work, period. Tell her boss she's not available. Period. Come up with an excuse or something. Time will show you were right.

That brought tears to my eyes. @DRW50 thank you for clarifying - I'm loving your contribution to this thread ❤️

the second tweet must be a hoax right? Tel me it’s a hoax.

Thanks! You also need to test a lot more than Italy or the US are doing right now...

I only read the title to the Forbes article and let me tell you: China and South Korea have largely contained the virus though massive lockdown and an App tracing people's movements. Apparently you need both kinds of measures to get results. To suggest lockdown is pointless is dangerous IMHO. As for the shoppers, I don't see what's so strange about panicking and wanting to stockpile. It's very human to get worried and provide for one's loved ones. It's the owners of the shops who should put a limit on purchases (let's say 2 hand sanitizers per person). The same goes for mask producers. There's a high demand for masks, then produce more. I know it's not that simple, but the narrative here has been pretty confusing.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. This is the most important act ever.

Omg YES.

As far as I know you definitely can get re-infected. They don't even know what long term damage this thing will cause to your lungs.

I'm glad they're okay but... I'm not sure that two people who are infected can stay together. It doesn't make much sense. It's a highly infectious virus. It's not like two people will recover simultaneously only because they are a couple. What if one of them gets better while the other one infects them all over again? It's either that picture was taken before isolation or I may be wrong. If anyone has more info, I'd love to know.

I'm happy to hear that. Keep it up and keep enough distance from people

There is something we can do to manage anxiety. Stay at home. Tell HR you gotta work from home from now on if you can. Or make up an excuse and miss work. I know it sounds crazy but in a few months time, it will be apparent that was the right thing to do. Guys, don't wait for them to tell you you've got to stay home. They'll tell you to stay home when the situation turns 300% serious. Right now it's already 100% serious. So you might as well stay at home, starting from today, as much as you can.

I was on the same page as you around 2 weeks ago. I was wrong. Please, stay at home as much as you can. Work from home, or get ready to give up a few weeks worth of pay. It's going to be worth your health. I wish someone had told me this 2 weeks ago.

Yeah video unavailable here.

I'm not a doctor but as far as I know, yeah, you can relapse. Catching the c.v. and recovering doesn't make you immune. As for lingering body damage, I hope not. It affects your lungs mostly, so maybe if you've been a smoker your whole life I guess you'd better quit smoking for the rest of your life... Anyway, it's really serious and dramatic but being diagnosed with covid-19 is not a death sentence. Most people do recover. There have been cases of 90 or 100 year olds recovering from it. It's all so new. As for the rest, let me add: I wouldn't wish this disease on absolutely anyone in the world but if Trump is in such denial about it, it's only a matter of time before he catches it.
