Tattoo artist. Clients still calling. Limiting the amount of people I see a day. I have a private studio instead of a storefront so I’m off the radar. Downside my grandmother is in a nursing home and they said no visit until further notice

Your place is the most sanitized place in america
I know an artist who's giving me the medical grade disinfected sprays for my own house
not even for the virus, im a germaphobe

Shits getting shut down for good reason. The Government isn’t being honest about the numbers with the public. I work at a government facility where people are being Isolated the numbers being reported are bullshit at least for Florida. I see a dude who is 35 with that shit looking awful he isn’t going too die but I wouldn’t wish that shit on nobody
This is not the new plague. 60 million people got h1n1. We should go by those numbers. We should expect millions of infections and millions of recoveries.

Covid 19 is not an automatic death sentence. With proper medical attention we will continue to see >85% survival rate.

This total shut down is a result of fear out of control.

Swine flu and covid19 are two different beast. There Were antivirals to facilitate recovery there are no antivirals with covid19, with h1n1 worst case Scenarios had 50k dying 12K died. We don’t know shit about covid19 no Real strategies no effective treatments...nothing....worst case Scenario 1 million deaths.... you can’t downplay that shit just look at South Korea taking major steps and Italy not doing shit early having 300 deaths a day.

I honestly feel the total shutdown/panic we are seeing here stateside is due to who is our current Commander in Chief.

If Obama was still in office, the response by the Government AND US citizens would be dramatically different.

Since we all know an idiot is in power, people are "realizing" we're fucked.

We may not be as bad, but I feel the incompetence of this administration, the sensationalism of the media and peoples own ignorance is causing the panic we are seeing.

Moms shutting down her home daycare tomorrow.
Only two kids been attending, we figure the parents ain’t taking any chance.

The state issued a closure for state operatio daycares, home daycares could stay open at own risk.

I went over yesterday, had to check my temperature before stepping inside.

The shut-down is 100% because the leadership did nothing.
It's really that simple
So comparing plagues doesn't make sense.
If Obama was president he'd been taking precautions in December.
Making changes as far as screenings to get into the country in January
There would have been cdc INCREASED BUDGET NOT CUT
There would have been instructions to governor's on how to fight it
He wouldn't have flown planes and planes full of COVID infected people BACK to America against CDC warning
He wouldn't have MADE PEOPLE take docked cruises after the fact
There wouldn't be a need to FORCE PEOPLE to social distance cause a plan would have been in place.
All of these things would have been taken care of to make sure our daily lives weren't interrupted.
We'd have ACCEPTED the masks and treatments China offered us in January
We would have been monitoring it from the jump
We would have done the complete opposite of what he's doing.

We're going to be OK
It's just that the time came for someone with sense to lead us out of some shit
and he COULDN'T
AND SINCE HE COULDN'T HE MADE THINGS SO MUCH WORSE.

I still feel sorry for people who don't live in states with proactive governor's
ones that subscribe to trump who aren't working to make sure that you do all the stuff NOW so you don't pay for it later.

The H1n1 pandemic lasted a year. About 12500 people died in the us.

Were we quarantined with the global shut down of all business?

This is some ol bullshit.
I'm still trying to figure out what makes this one different? Is it the rate of spread? Cause the actual death rate numbers aren't that crazy compared to all the other stuff people die from every day.

lol @ listening to sports stations where there are no sports
Le Batard and Bomani are the only ones who are unaffected by this shit
and that's why they're the best.

I know! All my presets and bookmarks are sports cuz.

And you right, bomani had a great podcast recently.

Sidebar... am i conspiracy theorist? I think the nfl moving on with free agency was a deliberate attempt to distract.

Are we comparing a year's worth of H1N1 to two months of Coronavirus? This is what I keep hearing, and the argument is fucking dumb.

Bruh there were not any h1n1 specific antivirals at the ready when it struck.

It was hit and miss at first.

This is SARS 2. Can we go by that?

Yet people are predicting a year of coronavirus spread with 3 months of that data. :dunno:
Its almost like we want to see the worst case scenario happen. Ebola and Swine flu let us down....didnt get that movie like pandemic that we hoped for.

The Mrs. Just got 20% of her salary cut. Canceling 401k match and some other shit. All I heard was 20% pay cut. :smh: My gig is still going. Still going into work too. Not gonna lie, that 20% is going to sting. We were going to try to have a kid this year. But were gonna put that shit on hold for obvious reasons. We had a vacation planned and the plane tickets were already bought. May have to axe that. We should be ok with just that cut, but if my job does the same then shits gonna hurt. Condolences to the fam that got laid off. I think allot of companies are gonna use this to slash overhead, even if they're doing ok.

Exactly. I don't think people understand how many people die of the regular flu even though we have a vaccine for the most vulnerable and actual treatments. :smh: This shit is 10x more lethal, apparently not seasonal and there is no vaccine or treatment for it...
