World leaders can do everything right, but it’ll never be enough to control STUPID FUCKING PEOPLE

Stupid, selfish people are the reason this will keep spreading.

How we treat and that we eat animals is why it started.

No one should forget that.

How China you mean. Let’s not turn this into a vegan push. To each his own.

So far the coronavirus has cost me 3 Pearl Jam concerts With friends and family and a ncaa tournament trip with my dad. Not to mention a spring break girls trip for my wife and daughter. And a few other big deals for my family I don’t care to mention specifically.

im concerned about the health of a few specific people close to me. And sad for those who have been effected in the most awful way.  This is just all bad. And no joke, the world needs to figure out how to hold China accountable for their continued nonsense 

What exactly is it China is to be accountable for here and what is their "continued nonsense" in relations to this? 

With some of you focusing so hard on them in here, instead of how your own government is handling it, I would like to know.

Watch and learn....

Thanks all for answering.

Kind of hard to believe we don't have anyone freaking out and that is good.

I have a very sick Aunt in the hospital whom I go see but am afraid to get close because I travel frequently into the city.  I've been using the purell stations and using the 6' rule. 

Good luck with your aunt. I might have a family member who could be at higher risk but it’s tough to know for sure.

with a lot of things shutting down today- NCAAs, St Patty’s Parade, SUNY & CUNY schools, maybe it’s time to shut all the schools down and all the sports leagues. Why are the kids going to school if major things are shutting down? Seems risky now for any school superintendent to keep the districts open in light of this.

It seems like things are about to get very weird.

You have to remember that schools being open is where kids get their only 2 meals a day.  The city feeds a lot of children whom would otherwise starve.

It is a very tough predicament to be in.

I can’t remember who posted this the other day but I’ve been sharing it frequently. Very disturbing stuff.

I appreciate your opinion and I respect your choice to be vegan. Let’s leave it there.

In the event our district closes there will be a “meals on wheels” service to bring breakfast and lunch to those kids.  I understand nyc is completely different.

I have zero doubt that the city will not have the resources to accomplish that.  It will get out of control.

I am glad that your area has a contingency plan.

Well this has gotten wayyyyyyyyyyyyy bigger than I thought it would.

Anyone know where you can pull real numbers from?  That Hopkins site was sketchy for me.

Yeah we had meetings yesterday to discuss various plans.  My particular class will be pretty easy to teach remotely.  My textbook can be accessed on their desktop and pretty much my entire class is online.  They were talking about having a "wireless bus" driving around the poorer neighborhoods that don't have access to the internet.

Eye on the TV
'Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be like
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used a poison
In his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun until someone dies

Don't look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
"Why, oh why?"

'Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I live
While the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Were writers of the stories told
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same, so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down
Drum on grave and ground

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie
La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head out of your hippie haze
And give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is
So it's always been

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

I know this is the case about families relying on schools to feed the kids. But I worked in a school where 98% were on free lunch and those kids survived summer break, Christmas break and spring break. Taking 2 weeks off for this  virus will be no different.
I know it sounds cold hearted, but it’s true.

The bigger burden will be families, particularly single moms, who rely on school as a form of child care for the younger grades.

I suppose Canada is 1 step behind and will follow suit. Seems like my country has been doing the security walk following in USs footsteps. 

I just got the "I come from downtown" reference now that I know you're from Canada.

Let's all handle this with will and determination
