Ugh, shouldn't have answered that question from Duna in the first place. It was conflating two unrelated points: the US is much less dense than Europe on average, and this limited the damage from the administration's mishandling of it (the worst case scenario being literally Italy but an order of magnitude worse).

And, secondly, Russia (and Brazil!) have rising caseloads and are seriously behind on taking steps to stop it, meaning that, despite being less dense, may soon turn out to be at least as fucked (per capita) as the US, and arguably for similar reasons.

Especially as Russia was denying reality longer than USA.

There is still top-flight soccer being played in Russia, and some of Zenit St. Petersburg supporters were filmed chanting an alarming message on Saturday amid the coronavirus pandemic.

During Zenit’s 7-1 thumping of FC Ural at a jam-packed Grazprom Arena, fans of the Russian giants were collectively chanting “we’re all going to die.”  The same supporters group also held up a banner that read: “We are all infected with football and will die for Zenit.”

There are a reported 59 confirmed cases of coronavirus(COVID-19) in Russia

From the recent number of new cases in Chinese returning from Russia, the situation there is worse than it appears to be. And most of them are from the Siberian part of the country. The more populated European part can only be even worse.

To be fair that sort of stuff is fairly normal for football fans of the slavic countries (the english were like that but they kinda grew out of it, we haven't), the only difference right now is that the Russians haven't cancelled their games or closed them off to the public.

Imagine India being infected.
The lack of access to medical resources and sanitation would prove to be devastating.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

India has been infected for weeks?

I was assuming that was the joke, but who can tell?

Also, Forbes is exaggerating again. Where am I going to get enough variety of food to be over-eating in a time like this?

I want to hope that that's a satirical article, but it's Forbes, and life is full of disappointment anyway.

What else is there to do in quarantine anyway?

Why is this news?

Gosh my housemates would probably start making pooping-street "jokes" oh wait.
It's been 3-4 weeks of that

The goverment is allowing nonessential workers back to work tomorrow (all other standing restrictions still apply). In theory with serious restrictions as to how, and in theory only if they can´t telework. I don´t know to what extent they´ll enforce that. I don´t know either with whom have they consulted before doing this, either.

I have some serious misgivings about this. We´re not back to the baseline yet. Our number of contagions-per-day and dead-per-day, and %ICU occupation is more or less the same as it was around 20/3, which is not good. And with COVID19 incubation times it will take at least a week to see if the R0 keeps going down or comes back up again... and even if they reintroduce a full lockdown immediately, we´ll spend two weeks living with the consequences of today´s decision.
I think that, while not necessarily apocalyptical, its a risky and stupid move.
