My uncle is an actor, playwright, and director of a theater company in Locarno. He says this is because the Swiss don't have a disaster mentality switch to turn on - no wars, no earthquakes, virtually nothing major. At the time of his message (Friday the 13th!), despite Italy's all-borders-closed measure people from Lombardy were still coming into Switzerland freely and in considerable numbers, as the Swiss economy there depends heavily on Italian workforce. And, of course, you remember Harry Limes' (Orson Welles) speech in 1949's The Third Man: "You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock." EDIT: Well, eventually they'd produce Kleenex/LiLiPUT, but it would take 30 more years.

Another early warning, fascinating if not overly relevant at this point because the human race will never learn shit:

Among the billion trillion e-mails I've received from artists cancelling their tours, Bikini Kill's has been the most significant - read and you'll see why:

True - I guess I just need to bank on the slight overlap between schools being closed and workplaces not being.

I work at a Graduate School for Biomedical Sciences. So far, no panics, just smart precautions.

Thanks for catching that! I’ve shared links from a doctor/disease person saying things could become more ominous, just passing along Dr. Drew’s thoughts that things might not be as bad. Personally, I hope Dr. Drew is correct. My daughters school district canceled classes this week, so an extended Spring Break for her. If things do get worse, I look for Texas Governor Greg Abbot to postpones school into April. |

we’re in full self-quarantine now. flatten the curve and what not.
breaking the daily routine into meditation, indoor workouts, reading, online work, cooking/eating/drinking(just a little), music, watching movies, etc. great for introverts hahaha. |

basically same here. nice 'Bratl' in the oven... got out the old 4track tascam to record a bit. Trying to convince my mom via phone to take it more seriously... Austria at 1016 infected and 3 deaths now. Growth per day at 26%, reproduction rate 1,44. To put into perspective, only about 8500 tests done so far in total. |

Canada closing its borders to anyone who isn't a citizen or permanent resident.
Louisiana governor has announced the state will be closing casinos, bars and movie theaters and limiting restaurants to take out or drive-thru only. *************** The last coronavirus report from CDC was 41 deaths on March 13th. The last I saw reported yesterday (Sunday, March 15) was around 60 deaths. BREAKING: Monday, March 16, 2020 - U.S. death toll tops 70 With the panic we’re seeing reported by news media, you would have thought the death toll was THOUSANDS and climbing. 2000 deaths from coronavirus in Italy......the US has 3,000+ deaths a month from the ordinary flu. 3000 per month = 100 deaths per day from ordinary flu 74 deaths total in the United States from coronavirus Is it reasonable to think America will reach 150-300 total deaths by Friday? 500 of our fellow Americans will have died by ordinary flu by then. |

this is very encouraging “While more than 169,000 people have caught the virus around the world, almost half have already recovered, and the vast majority of cases remain mild.“ |

at least thus far, I've still managed to go to my usual gym sessions, but very obviously doing a bunch of extra wiping down of everything.

why risk inadvertently spreading contagion when no tests are available and no vaccine in sight? even if it’s not corona, spreading any disease will overwhelm healthcare facilities. let’s have a little patience... a jump rope and some pushups go a long way if you really like intensity, get going with some tabata squats and bleed for 4 minutes eta: here’s a sample with corny 80s soundtrack included https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uQH-K-j9Yig i’d triple dog dare you... but i don’t dare |

Stupid of me to take a new job in logistics. Work is slow. I’m really afraid of being laid off. If we end up working from home, I can’t see myself being of any use to these people.
Anyway, stay safe everyone. |
