I've been on a Covid News Blackout the past few days...shit was starting to wear me down. I've been texted 'umpteenth' times in the last hour about the President's speech. Anyone able/willing to offer a condensed version of what he said? Are we staying in national lockdown for the unforeseen future?
That's not 'proof' at all.

BLUF: stand the fuck by. POTUS said we’re about to face a very difficult next few weeks.
From me to SS and our family: may God be with us.

Yeah that's pretty much where it's at. Expect all states to enact stay-at-home orders if they haven't.

A bunch of stuff. Population density is why NY is fucked, but they also took ZERO early mitigation steps. Another part of the equation is when your first confirmed case of exposure was.
Got you beat by 4 inches bitch!! My 15 and 17 year old got you beat.
Yeah but I'm only human, not some style of shaved down yetti...
The federal government here is moving to ban and heavily penalise anyone caught exporting face masks and hand sanitiser to China with up to 5 years prison.
Aussies caught sending supplies to China could be jailed
As CQB mentioned yesterday about the Chinese company, Greenland stripping us of supplies, there is also another Chinese company here called Risland that sent 90 tonnes of medical equipment back to China at the end of February on a corporate jet. Our medical community are facing PPE shortages at the moment.
Fuck ‘em.

Are you guys going to be able to manufacture PPE and other supplies to fight the kung flu? It sucks the Chicoms are stripping the shelves of supplies you guys desperately need. Y'all have my condolences.
@R.Caerbannog I honestly don’t know what % of our medical supplies are manufactured domestically. The New South Wales premier has just called on any manufacturing company that is able to make any of those items to do so. A food packaging company in South Australia called Detmold announced it was going to make 145 million surgical masks as well as respirators. Some distilleries here are converting production lines to produce hand sanitiser etc.
We have some great unity going on here at the moment and businesses, big and small, are helping where they can.
Hopefully some lessons learned from this...and remembered.

No worries, Brother...before long, we will have to take a travel down the new "silk road" to buy those things....
