I mean, sure. Can't figure out how to cook billionaire tartare without thinking about the investors.

Actually, do day traders count as garnish, or...?

It's not actually a good assumption that pete or klob supporters mostly had biden as a second choice, though. Iirc pete's were about as likely to have sanders or warren as a second choice as biden, ferex.

Klob I don't quite remember, but it's probably important to not forget that so far as Gene Eric Democrat goes like everyone running dem except maybe bloomshit is pretty okay. Lots of biden supporters have sanders as a second choice and vice versa, so on, so forth. There's fairly heavy factionalism among subsections of the heavy online/politically activated, but so far as the rank and file goes... not so much.

Note that "possibly one of the weakest ones in canon" still translates into "might be able to take down a space marine chapter or something". Touhou critters are apparently pretty crazy with the breaks off.

They’ll be dead by the time you are one of them old people.  So sure, the world will change with you.

So I heard hospitals are charging over 3k per Covid19 test.
Yea, I ain’t paying that premium.  Let the plague come.
Apparently someone put under mandatory quarantine in the US got served a 2k plus bill, too. Nevermind the premium, even just going to the hospital or coming in from out of country might get you nailed.

In other news, at least two confirmed cases in florida now that the CDC has loosened who gets tested. Shit's coast to coast now, I guess.

If images of it are anything to go by it looks like it's extra drawing from stardew's face slug the doctor was infected with. Art looks pretty jank in screenshots :-\

Eyup. MSH is probably happy :P

Or to be somewhat more clear, cirno's a character from the touhou series. Blue fairy thing, often considered something of an idiot. Probably capable of leveling a small nation on their own, like most named touhou critters.

I'm happy about a new thread title.
it gives me the mental image of cirno with p-wings, for some reason

which rapidly escalated to that, but like flower pressed in a book like some kind of preserved butterfly

i think i'm just going to take a nap now

I mean, the best control vector we have right now for general use seems to just be good hygiene practices and whatnot. Careful hand washing, not coughing on people or otherwise getting fluids in places they shouldn't be, so on, so forth.

Or in other words basically everything old people are progressively worse at. So yes, something like a nursing home is probably going to see rapid infection.

Now, with good care access (stuff to keep your lungs lunging, mostly) even old people have better than even odds of survival, from what I understand... but that's contingent on having access. And you're talking the US, where tens of millions don't have insurance, rural areas are persistently underserved, and the executive branch was trying to claim reports of the danger of the virus are an attack on the president, last I noticed. Etc., etc., etc. We probably have the capability, conceptually, but the will? Hahahaha :-\

So like. Fucked? Probably pretty fucked.

Hello there! I also play Slay The Spire, but I do wonder what's a good deck to win as The Watcher. She's the only character with whom I didn't score a single win so far.
If you're up for youtube vids, you might check out jorbs. Guy posts ascension 20 runs (most heart kills) more or less daily, and does watcher fairly often. Can see some examples of winning decks, some parts of the thought process/decision making involved in building and using them.

Since Iran isn't really doing a quarantine, you can bet the party bus is doing its tour around the middle east, at the very least.

The Corona bus is comin' and everybody's jumpin'.
Wuhan to Thailand
Thailand to Japan
In related news, apparently whoever owns the corona beer brand has issued a statement that there's no need to add disinfectant to their products to protect from the virus :-\

4152
The report I've seen (from Wapo, but bugger getting the url to work right now) has wording that suggests it wasn't the CDC that found it. They were informed by someone, so...

4153
You get three guesses, and any of them that's anything except "The Republican Party" don't count.

4154
Looks like we got our first confirmed case in the US that didn't travel or come in contact with any known carriers. Someone like that seems to have tested positive in cali.

Also appears there's little to no current fiscal support for infected or folks in need of quarantine, so hey. I guess capitalism's gift for the new decade is Spanish flu Mk. 2, ha ha ha. Also hey the CDC recently got significantly defunded and our general pandemic preparedness situation is shit so I guess we get to hope the fatality et al rate on this thing really is wildly overstated :-\

Apparently right wing media's hang up of the day is... something about flipping out over trump wanting to play gone with the wind getting (rightfully, the thing's racist as fuck) called racist? I learned that today, annoyingly.
