Well yeah, the article mentions this. North Korea is a highly repressive society, which can both be about not reporting cases but also, placing an order that no one is allowed to leave their residences unless given permission.  If the "Dear Leader" hands down a mandate, it is not made an option whether to comply.

 

Many of the South Pacific island had a virulent bout with measles just last year, so the idea of social distancing to prevent the spread of contagious diseases is likely still fresh in their minds. Lesotho is an emerging country that has a decent literacy rate (85% for women). Perhaps because they have had to deal with crises with tuberculosis and there are likely still people who remember the ravages of other diseases (including HIV/AIDS), they may also have taken COVID-19 seriously.

When I first started hearing/reading about this, I thought (hoped) it was a few people spreading false accounts and determined that I should refrain from posting this anywhere but this account tends to have more legitimacy than any of the other accounts I've seen.  I still hope this is somehow untrue because this is truly despicable. Knowing France's colonial history (as well as England, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands) it would not surprise me at all, if true.

I realize this pandemic is worldwide, but with the lack of coherent response domestically, I will just say that there is a VERY special place in hell for Trump and the GOP. And I have to believe - right now - hell exists. If anyone deserves to take a trip there, it's these pieces of s-h-i-t.

WHAT?!? He really said THAT. That piece of ^&*W!!

 

How can anyone support him now given that more and more people are saying he's known since December of last year.  Just...ugh.

 

Good to see that this whole thing appears to be bringing people together. I woke up this morning to seeing that China will be sending vendilator (sp?) to NY as well as Oregon. And we are finally taking Lockdown a lot more seriously here in San Diego. 

 

Not liking the news on the postal service due to that is the last job that I'm currently involved (laid off at my other job), but it is great to see people are coming together. Hopeful.

    • What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi
    • Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.
    • Danny: Don't drink it. Just hold it. Rocco drinks three laced cups.

    • OH, I AM.   And it looks like it's a pretty good episode so I might watch later on this weekend after work cuz I see a lot of scenes with people I actually like. Very happy to see Rocco/Danny appear to be getting story, too. 
    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied
