Since there are still a few people confused about how to best prevent the spread of Covid-19, let’s let Nick Fury direct is:

 

 

I liked Jon Oliver's ending, where he talked about the absolute - by very very far - most important measure, annoying as the words may be: social distancing. 

 

It's rather horrific to still see leaders of nations talk about the virus situation while standing directly next to others with no way more than a meter between them

Nearby town is being hit pretty hard with 13 deaths all in the same relatively small nursing home. Not very surprisingly, it's a pretty strong Christian town...(meaning they all got together for their services and whatnot when it was already very clear that wasn't a good thing to do)

Today was 13th day of new year in Iran, the last day of new year "holiday",  since million years ago there was a tradition about going out to nature in this day to avoid the "bad luck" of this 13th. of course nowadays nobody really believes in that bad luck thing but still that was always a huge tradition. but this year in past few days everybody was begging everybody to stay at home. and it was somehow successful.

 

and Rouhani was very happy about it, bragging about how successful their strategy was. something like "look, we didn't force people to stay at home, we convinced them to do so" yes we probably survived the day but what about tomorrow and Friday when most of those 8.5 millions will travel back to their towns

 

and while numbers don't show any kind of improvement, Rouhani was claiming the situation is "improving" in all 31 provinces. (while the number of deaths passed 3000 today ) but one thing is true that hospitals are not full anymore. and they are much more prepared for the possible patients in future.

Yes, I heard about it, the numbers and the speed at which it spreads are really terrible

India more than 600 cases yesterday as worldometer.......... This is a huge jump from the 100-200 case range we were in..... I hope this is not the start of a huge spike..... India's spike can put the US spike to shame with the sheer size of population we have..... ?

I’m not one to share CNN articles, but this was to good (bad) to pass up
