Round trip flights are as cheap as we'll probably ever see in our lifetimes. Planes are reportedly pretty empty too.
I'm really considering taking a short vacation somewhere 
My luck though they'd cancel the return flight because of the virus and I'd be stuck somewhere. Or I'd get the virus outright.

I just bought round trip to LAX for about half of what it cost me last year and I got better seats with baggage fees included and shit. Hopefully there are still planes flying in May.

Since you mentioned it. There is a new Jewish car out now.
Not only does it stop on a dime, it picks it up! 
There is a new Japanese Jewish restaurant too. It's called "Sosueme's"

Our hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid-19, they are running 200% capacity 4/ We’ve stopped all routine, all ORs have been converted to ITUs and they are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma or strokes. There are hundreds of pts with severe resp failure and many of them do not have access to anything above a reservoir mask. 5/ Patients above 65 or younger with comorbidities are not even assessed by ITU, I am not saying not tubed, I’m saying not assessed and no ITU staff attends when they arrest. Staff are working as much as they can but they are starting to get sick and are emotionally overwhelmed. 6/ My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front of them and they con only offer some oxygen. Ortho and pathologists are being given a leaflet and sent to see patients on NIV. PLEASE STOP, READ THIS AGAIN AND THINK. 7/ We have seen the same pattern in different areas a wethat ek apart, and there is no reason that in a few weeks it won’t be the same everywhere, this is the pattern: 8/ 1)A few positive cases, first mild measures, people are told to avoid ED but still hang out in groups, everyone says not to panick 2)Some moderate resp failures and a few severe ones that need tube, but regular access to ED is significantly reduced so everything looks great 9/ 3)Tons of patients with moderate resp failure, that overtime deteriorate to saturate ICUs first, then NIVs, then CPAP hoods, then even O2. 4)Staff gets sick so it gets difficult to cover for shifts, mortality spikes also from all other causes that can’t be treated properly. 10/ Everything about how to treat them is online but the only things that will make a difference are: do not be afraid of massively strict measures to keep people safe, 11/ if governments won’t do this at least keep your family safe, your loved ones with history of cancer or diabetes or any transplant will not be tubed if they need it even if they are young. By safe I mean YOU do not attend them and YOU decide who does and YOU teach them how to. 12/ Another typical attitude is read and listen to people saying things like this and think “that’s bad dude” and then go out for dinner because you think you’ll be safe. 13/ We have seen it, you won’t be if you don’t take it seriously. I really hope it won’t be as bad as here but prepare.
If you don't want the of COVID-19, no worrys my man, you will get it in some weeks as an involuntary suppository because its spreading FAST and the government is doing fuck-all to stop it.

Hi folks,
An other "live report" from Italy, here. I think that you all know that here is the second day of "quarantine for all" , one cannot cross the border of his/her municipality without a reason of work or healtcare (and u need a paper even for that), 50-60% of the shop are closed, no meeting whatsoever, everybody must respect a fixed distance whit other humans when in public , every public thing must be closed at 6 p.m, and so on. I'm learning (or at least, I think I'm learning) some "tips and tricks" and I would like to share with u (I'm also interested to hear your opinion on my reflection). The first thing: it's like a psichedelic journey (of course: "a bad trip"), one face his fear and his thoughts before any "material problem" (at least in my town, as of now, there is no food shortages, no toilet paper shortage). My town, my neighbors... look different. In a negative way. Worst than this, my "feeling of my body" ...is different, and not in a positive way. To sleep become difficult, to eat become a unpleasant task...and so on. Yesterday I have been concentrate on calling on the phone all of my friend, but it's not a big help cause everybody talk only about unpleasant things (u can imagine...) . It's like to be in a group of people tripping and... having "a bad trip". Today I have reduced the phone calls and the chats, and I try to be concentrated on cleaning my garden, and to my relationship with the Gods, (anyway whatever is your faith will give u strength in similar times), and it seem to work to make me spend a less shitty day....

Would love to pay a visit to my close one aswell, They're planing a lock down here aswell. Working with plants in the garden, while social distancing is soothing. its one of the best peaceful silent moment to talk & bond with God.

My brother and some collegues got sent home from work this week cause they had a cold. He works in construction with a lot of people from the most infected region in our country.
I brought him some groceries today (put em in front of his door and stepped well back before calling him) and he is sick as fuck. High fever, coughing and wheezing. He looked like absolute shit
If he's not improving tomorrow we are calling the service to get him tested

WHO has just announced that this is officially a pandemic now. In the statement it's basically saying that we're not trying to scare people into a frenzy that makes things worse but scientifically speaking we are in a pandemic and he made very clear that this is unlike anything we've ever dealt with and infection rates and death rates continue to grow.

Italy just announced 200 more deaths and 2400 new cases. Deaths are doubling every two days. If this isn’t controlled soon we could see the total collapse of a modern western democracy.
The death rate is 6.6% this is not simply due to not identifying mild cases. This is mostly due to the collapse of the healthcare system. The US is two weeks away from this disaster.
