This feels a little bit like watching Independence Day, but here’s Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite, USACE Commanding General and 54th U.S. Army Chief of Engineers, at the Pentagon two days ago (March 20) talking about a support plan by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to turn hotels and college dorms into “ICU facilities” by mid-April.
The first 3-4 minutes is the Plan, the back half is press Q&A.

Of the 15 horse tracks in the USA with race meetings scheduled today, 14 of them were cancelled, and the one is already completed. Guess that means I’ll be watching Geelong, Menangle and Rockhampton tonight. (Does anything stop race meets in Oz?)

@Stargazer does that count as a death from CV-19, or due to, or chalk it up as a Darwin death?

Card starts at 10:30 PM EDT (New York) and 7:30 PM PDT (Los Angeles). It’s the only live sports action you can see right now. I wonder if their betting receipts will be increased. Or maybe people are sitting on their wallets right now...

Christ! We have got it so good compared to other countries.
I've been training a girl in India for the last week for work via video chat and things are going downhill there super fast.
She's only young like 27 and is living in Bangalore which is a solid 14 hour train from her family. Curfews and lockdowns have begun. But they don't seem super well thought out.
They are only allowed to go to the grocery shop at certain hours, so last night she had no food and she had to queue for an hour to get in (me thinks this might just spread the illness). On top of that she's just discovered because of the lockdown their supply of drinking water has been cut, the people delivering it aren't allowed to any more. She can probably boil water and live off that but by jesus any wankstain celebrating this needs a reality check.
