Did the video cut out before she was physically assaulted? I was expecting that's how it would end.
Hahaha. What a bitch.

Germany, Denmark, and New Zealand off the top of my head. Each handled it well to varying degrees with success dependent on different variables such as location, size, advanced warning. Island nations obviously have a natural advantage, as well as smaller borders nations. All nations had at least 4 weeks of advanced warning, except maybe Italy, and the countries with the worst death toll have the worst centralized responses. They also tend to have right wing governments.Outside of countries who deal with China's outbreaks regularly, who did contain it?
But you are aware that the list is fairly short, right? Even at that a country like New Zealand had more time and the opportunity to see what did and didn't work. There's also an issue with simply blaming centralized repsonse when countries vary so greatly in size and population.Germany, Denmark, and New Zealand off the top of my head.

That's an extremely simplified, and in at least a couple cases flatly wrong, opinion to be espousing.and the countries with the worst death toll have the worst centralized responses. They also tend to have right wing governments.

Trader Joe's can require customers to wear masks if they want.. If people have an issue with that they should shop elsewhere.
I didn't realize you were expecting a dissertation with sourced arguments for every country. Of course a post on here is simplified, look at the audience here.But you are aware that the list is fairly short, right?

Anyone know if 911 is out there walking people through births, telling them to tie/cut the cord, etc? I'm not sure dispatchers do that.With the help of a 911 dispatcher, her husband, David, helped bring their third child, Navi Bond Patrick, into the world.
The final step required tying off the baby's umbilical cord. But they had no shoelaces or ties. So, David improvised, using his wife's hand-sewn protective face mask.
After Navi was safely delivered, hospital staff arrived and took them inside..
I was very very very happy to make the 60 min trip to the hospital and not have to deliver the baby once Mrs. ThatOneDude's water broke.Husband ties off umbilical cord with face mask after wife gives birth in hospital parking lot - CNN
Let's talk about something guys.
If you're in the hospital parking lot and you deliver your baby, there is not a rush to tie/cut the cord. Just take the baby, put it on mom's belly, and keep it warm. Go in the hospital.

So much fucking truth to this.
I wonder how it works unemployment cheque wise. Is it based on cost of living or will someone from Iowa get the same as husband in Silicon Valley where everything is extortionately priced in comparison? Not complaining because it came through so quickly, but it's not even covering rent and medical insurance...we're not poverty stricken just yet.So much fucking truth to this.
I had 3 interviews lined up this past week. All 3 were no-shows.
Why work when the gov't is kicking you so much extra money?
They've loosened the restrictions to qualify and stay on unemployment.I wonder how it works unemployment cheque wise.

Of course. That was kind of (again doesn't affect us because we aren't entitled to stimulus cheques) my thought process with $1200. $1200 here compared to $1200 in Iowa/Alabama etc is going to last no time at all in comparison. I'm sure everyone is grateful for the handout, but cost of living etc...you get my point.They've loosened the restrictions to qualify and stay on unemployment.
Regular unemployment payment is based on a percentage of what you typically made at your previous job (there is a max that varies by state). But during the shutdown, there is an additional $600/week from the Fed available until July 31- which for most states practically doubles the typical amount people receive - and that is going to folks that were let go because of the virus AND people that were already unemployed for whatever reason.
The intentions for this were good - since unemployment doesn't get you to where you were at when you were working, the extra $600 will get most people pretty close. The unintended consequence is that, other than securing health insurance benefits, the government has removed a need for people to go back to work. Now that the virus has proven to be a non-event for most of the nation, businesses are opening back up but people are claiming "fear of the virus" as a reason to not go back to work.
Tack on the $1200 stimulus money and we've created an unemployment safe haven where people can just sit at home and collect that free money.
That's the long answer.
The short answer is money in Iowa will always go further than money in California. I'm sure you noticed the economical differences from Virginia to California when you moved.
