Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2/Covid-19 Megathread

[Valmy]

So my little embezzlement scheme ran into some hiccups. What can you do?

Mini-outbreak in Scotland has been traced to a call centre that was being used for contact tracing calls 

Check. Yeah that happened back in early March here as well. One member developed symptoms and an entire shift had to go into precautionary quarantine.

Over here they shut down a group of people organizing a football match between Covid carriers and non-carriers. I guess that's the Spanish version of pox parties

Parson's comments on coronavirus raise eyebrows
Posted online July 20, 2020 | 8:00 am

Gov. Mike Parson's controversial remarks on a radio show are getting widespread attention and some pushback, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

In an interview on Friday with St. Louis talk-radio host Marc Cox, Parson said children would get coronavirus when they return to school this fall.

"These kids have got to get back to school," Parson told Cox. "They're at the lowest risk possible. And if they do get COVID-19, which they will — and they will when they go to school — they're not going to the hospitals. They're not going to have to sit in doctor's offices. They're going to go home and they're going to get over it."

Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway, the Democratic candidate for governor, said Parson's comments displayed "stunning ignorance."

All children live alone? Who knew?

[Eddie Teach]

Wait... you're not letting yours live with you, right?

Wait... you're not letting yours live with you, right? 

I wouldn't if they were going to school in Missouri

He also said he will pardon the two lawyers who pointed guns at protesters.

Prepare for the fair hearing and trial by Fouquier-Tinville.

Remember how I told you guys the excessive lockdown stuff was going to backfire? I don't want to say I told you so, but....

Ahead of a lockdown protest scheduled in Georgia, the governor has announced that gyms, bowling alleys, salons, massage parlors, and some other stuff can open by Friday, and by Monday we are reopening restaurants.

How is the idiocy of the Governor of Georgia attributable to excessive lockdown measures? Seems the culprit here is his own stupidity.

Malthus, want to reexamine your point of view here? It seems quite a few people are finding themselves unable to stay put these days.

The Governor is still a tool.

As a point of reference, guidelines have changed significantly since April 20. Now, most of the country is wearing masks to limit the spread of the virus, and recognize the value in social distancing. When this went into affect, no one wore masks and no one social distanced.

Except in Georgia, where your governor is forbidding mayors from requiring both of those things. Go figure.

This is quite amazing.

Whilst we are being dumb maybe they could set up some kind of zombie escape game with real infected?

Wherefore?  Prays?

The language on these documents hasn't changed since colonial times

I don't really do much litigation, but I think we have actually updated the language around litigation here

Certainly in contracts you can tell an American document because it uses lots of legalese and set forms of words OFTEN IN ALL CAPS.

Yeah, pretty easy to spot American legal drafting.  It is as if they continue to be paid by the word.
