If I remember correctly from earlier, didn't one of those Italian mayors in Northern Italy have a "Hug a Chinese" campaign to show that they weren't racist against the poor Chinese that were being mischaracterized as disease carriers?

Yeah liquor stores are non essential unless you’re an actual alcoholic. Then they’re very essential. 

Or if you are fucking quarantined.

Might be the case. I've never had a growler full for that long, so I can't comment.

Growler is good for 2-3 days.  Maybe 3-4

if you have a good one with a tight seal.  But that's really, really stretching it.

Well furk. I want to help but I won't be able to drink 3 growlers. I'll do one at a time and hope that they can keep filling during the height of our shutdown.

Damn, UK lockdown

That's correct...and then went to their homes where, most likely, old people live with them in close quarters.

Yeah, he was the Italian mayor who proved they were, in fact, disease carriers.  

This is going to be up there with New Coke or Ayds Diet Candy marketing campaigns.

I’d expect the screw top seal to last a few days no problem, but might I suggest that if you have a bottle you know will be stored at least a week, tape the top with duct tape. 2 - 3 wraps should be all you need.

Full lockdown in UK - they leapfrogged us there.  Pretty severe one too. 

In 2-3 weeks we will see what that did.

I had half a keg of Celis left over from a party (health oriented friends I guess) and at the end of the night we poured that stuff into all kinds of bottles and drank it for a week.

I'm not sayin it was good, but it was good enough.

i don't understand this criteria of being out of the country or in contact with someone who has it... at this point what difference does that make?? isn't plain old community spreading everywhere pretty much what's happening at this point?? 
Have to ration. Not enough tests/supplies.

We continue to be on pace for it.  We had 23 deaths on 3/17/2020. By 3/20 we had 65. Yesterday we had 123. And we have 105 so far today. We very well may be near 200 before the day is over. At this pace, we'll hit 4 figures by April 1 and 5 figures by April 10. I don't know why you keep questioning the math on this, you've been wrong every step of the way.

No - I’ve been mostly right along the way. It started when everyone wanted to use a 3% + CFR and predict a million dead in the US alone. Then the chart that showed we were 7-10 days behind Italy, but only focused on cases. Then the idea that we were somehow worse at testing than Italy. Now it’s just fucking random numbers like 6 digit deaths a day, which I had to round down to 5 for you because you can’t even get that right. 
 

My kids getting back into school by June. That’s probably optimistic and might be my miss, but I think it’s good to focus on some hope and positives.

there is a province outside of florence called prato that is essentially chinatown on "one side of the tracks."  They are there to make textiles there so they can say "made in italy."  all the signs are even in mandarin.  here is a link to google street view of the particular neighborhood.  it is quite large.  you can see how everything is in both languages looking around the street.

Genuine interstate commerce clause concerns there too. I appreciate the urgency in his action, but I don't think it'll hold up if somebody wants to challenge it

A man has died and his wife is under critical care after the couple, both in their 60s, ingested chloroquine phosphate, an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks. Within thirty minutes of ingestion, the couple experienced immediate effects requiring admittance to a nearby Banner Health hospital.

Yes, a crowler properly purged with the lid dropped on foam to insure any headspace is oxygen free will keep essentially as well as normal packaged beer given a quality seamer.

Relative who works for The Mouse down there said DeSantis has been getting roasted by folks for trying to do as little as possible.   This is a way to act like you are doing something, when you’re not stopping it within state borders.  

My guess is Abbott is taking notes, and folks from Louisiana will be asked to self-quarantine or something.  

Doesn’t seem like it’d hold up in court.

Big difference is that the police have been given the authority to issue fines for being out and about without a good reason. So it's quite a bit more significant than here in the US.

If cops started issuing tickets for just being outside with no good reason here in the states, people would be apoplectic

It is "mostly what we've already done". Just with some significant differences.

Yeah, and how will they enforce it even if you flew from NYC?  You fly in, have to go to the grocery store to get food for your quarantine right?  Then what happens? are they going to post a guard...  nope.

Like it or not we (the states) are tied at the hip.  This is why we have a federal government.

But the Italian Communist Party and its renamed successor coalition have ruled Tuscany for the last 50 years, so there was a stronger affinity for China than in many other places.

We were always roughly two weeks behind Italy. Still are. Guess what their total death count was 2 weeks ago? 463. Ours so far is 572. Their daily deaths? 97 Ours? 116 so far today. Seriously, you haven't been right one time on any subject. You've moved goal posts and attacked straw man arguments. When this started, you thought it was just the flu and no big deal. You thought the CFR would go below the regular flu. Both of those are obviously wrong at this point.
