Proves that shroomrites are one of the early birds before WHO declarations 2 weeks ago.

You can get bitcoins lots of places. I think the simplest is CoinPal. They have some checks and limits to avoid PP chargebacks, but it works. For high volume most exchanges are only accepting Liberty Reserve because it doesn't do chargebacks. LR can be a pain to get.
If you need more info on Bitcoin in general bitcoin.org is the place to go. The forums are very active and people are helpful.

Shroomerites, like mushrooms, are often first on the scene.

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
Im sorry to hear that man, sending good vibes  Its a good thing you've prepared early for the sake of love ones.

It's a pandemic now and getting more and more scary. I live in the East San Francisco Bay area and I have noticed a huge change in my area. A drive that usually takes me 45 minutes is only take 15 minutes. The roads of an area with 8 million people look like it's Christmas or Thanksgiving Day. They are that empty.
The subway cars were almost full last week. Two days ago they were less than half-full and today there were only 5 people on each train and they were spread as far as possible. Passing the Princess Cruise Ship was even eerie feeling, like living in a horror video game. When someone coughs they make an announcement "Don't worry, it's not because I'm sick." I smoked way too much weed and fucked my lungs up. Then I sneezed 3 times as I got off the subway and I could tell people were scared.
People are making their own little Corona prevention signs and posting them everywhere like garage sale signs and most people are staying as far away from people on the sidewalks as possible. I got to admit this is better than having lots of traffic because I have a lot of local travelling to do.
Niffla, and other travellers, I got really cheap tickets to Hawaii the other day. Let's talk some friends into going and throw a little Hawaiian party on the beach!
Shroomery, how is the virus personally affecting you or your city/area?

Supposed to fly to phoenix in 2 weeks, I don't wanna go! The mate is very relaxed about it all. I'm more worried for him because his respiratory stuff. Plus it's a retirement party, for a cop, a prison cop! I'm sure there will be refreshments.

With all this focus on Italy, we’ve kinda ignored the fact that most of continental Europe is going down hill just as fast

All businesses in Italy except those selling food and pharmacy goods are now banned from operating.

Prediction! 1000 cases in Holland before the week is out. On sunday you'd think I'd be tripping but with 382 cases on tuesday its not that outlandish anymore, is it? A doubling and a fart and we're in the 4 digit club.
Wednesday: 503 Netherlands
if that rate holds you'll have 1148 on saturday
if the multiplyer goes down to 1.1 it'll be more like 736 on Sunday

Most people in my area are either panicking and buying up the tp and beanie weenies and ramen, or they are just kinda living in denial. Like there is no way this is or could be a big deal. And then you have the entire group that ridicules anyone who expresses concern or prepares. I cut meat for a steakhouse, so I get to work in a 5x5ft cold room to cut steaks, isolated from everyone. Everyone I work with thinks I am crazy. My friends thought I was crazy a month ago when I told them to prepare for this to be a big thing. Now they are in shock as my county shuts down school for the remainder of the week because of a parent with a potential Covid 19 case. My wife's best friend was rude as fuck toward her because she was expressing her concerns about it. Told her she was irrational and Ebola this, Zika that. Havent heard from friend since. I think people are just so plugged into this society we live in that they think absolutely nothing can disrupt it.
Tl;dr Middle TN is a shit show

Most public events in DC have now been cancelled for the next month. The larger clubs and music venues are shutting down after tonight.

We have to flatten the curve. Most of the population will be exposed to this virus. What’s important is to spread it out over six months instead of two

People keep comparing it to the cold and flu but the cold and flu start their season already homogenous to the ecosystem, rather than in isolated pockets. Six months, a year - as long as the stats line up it's not going to be good.

the longer period of time we can spread it out over, the easier it will be for the healthcare system to keep up with the number of infected. At some point we run out of capacity and it isn't far off. Outcome stats will get much worse if there aren't the resources available to provide care

The news from Italy is extremely dire. Physicians are being directed to simply not attempt to help people at advanced age or with other conditions. war time triage.
Quote:
Now the Italian College of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) has published guidelines for the criteria that doctors and nurses should follow in these extraordinary circumstances. The document begins by likening the moral choices facing Italian doctors to the forms of wartime triage that are required in the field of “catastrophe medicine.” Instead of providing intensive care to all patients who need it, its authors suggest, it is becoming necessary to follow “the most widely shared criteria regarding distributive justice and the appropriate allocation of limited health resources.”
Those who are too old to have a high likelihood of recovery, or who have too low a number of “life-years” left even if they should survive, will be left to die. This sounds cruel, but the alternative, the document argues, is no better. “In case of a total saturation of resources, maintaining the criterion of ‘first come, first served’ would amount to a decision to exclude late-arriving patients from access to intensive care.”
