This entire thread is all the proof you need (at least in the US) to stop watching cable news and reading newspapers.
They have been so fucking far behind events as to be almost entirely useless.
 
I got this email from Sephora this morning. They pick now to do something about those disgusting testers and it's not near enough. Anyone who would go play in those testers right now deserves to die choking on a makeup sponge.

I work with senior housing here in the Midwest and the only change in policy was using wet wipes on the doors twice a day, like wtf! Not like that's going to help considering our vendor is running thin on paper supply. Honestly, I feel like senior apartment complexes are a much more dangerous hotspot than these nursing homes because these stubborn old coots "must" get the most out of their liscence before they forget how to drive or die

The sources said strict travel and traffic controls and fears of being infected with the coronavirus have discouraged many employees from returning. But Foxconn has offered free shuttle-bus commuting, meals and accommodation for workers in addition to thorough disinfection operations at plant sites, the sources.

Terry Gou, founder of Apple’s major manufacturing partner Foxconn, said on Thursday the resumption of production at its factories in China had “exceeded expectations” after a prolonged halt due to a coronavirus outbreak that had disrupted supply chains.
Foxconn, the world’s largest contract electronics maker, has most of its production in China, where many of its suppliers are also located, and as a consequence was hit hard by the virus-related curbs that have hurt demand and upended supply chains of manufacturers globally.

Small update on the retail front: there was a lineup of 50 people waiting for us to open, people are panicking now.

I went to buy a bag of flour and another can of Lysol on my lunchbreak (things I need to buy anyway) and my boss grabbed them out of my hand and said I couldn't buy them because "the customers" need them, as if the people who work here and spend our money here don't need things as well. I'm pretty livid.

Your boss is a cunt and I agree with everyone saying you should quit. Like next time he pulls that, just turn around and walk out on him. Retailers are going to be desperate for available workers real quick and I personally enjoy the thought of morons like that being immediately hit with regret.

Big Ten Network on Twitter

“The Big Ten Tournament has been cancelled. The conference issued the following statement Thursday morning: https://t.co/EOAxKsmmx1”
twitter.com twitter.com

Basketball tournaments are being cancelled, expect this is the first of many today. Ivy League cancelled the other day. Would be a HUGE deal if they decided to cancel the entire NCAA D1 tourney. That's never happened. So far plans are just to have it without fans.

One thing to note is that these regional games in the NCAA tourney take place in NBA, NHL arenas. Which as we know, the NBA already has two infected players, so any arena has the possibility of being only a few degrees of separation from someone who tested positive. In the last 5 days, all the teams have played each other like links on a chain.

Coronavirus patients may be contagious for weeks longer than first thought, study says
https://miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article241124531.html (http://archive.vn/qI9U2)

Researchers looking at cases in China say patients could spread the virus for up to 37 days after they start showing symptoms, according to the study published in the British medical journal The Lancet.

On average, survivors still had the virus in their respiratory system for about 20 days and could presumably continue to spread the disease, researchers found.

I hope this plague forces people to realize how dumb flying halfway across the world for in-person meetings is in a world of web cams and wireless internet.

Unfortunately it doesn't work like that, and never has. Who would you cut a deal with when looking for a potential business partner?, someone that wanted to facetime you in the middle of the night, or a company that sends it's execs out to meet and greet and comp you?

You could say the same about telephones ffs.
 
Friend works as a security guard at a supermarket. Says in the last 2 days people have started to seriously bug out. He went from making maybe 1-2 stops a week to stopping people from stealing almost 2-3 times a day. Not even sure what they're stealing, all the hordeables have been sold out for days.
