@Totalanimefan: Man, I wanted to flip a table when he was answering questions from reporters because you can tell he was trying to cover up rumors about being near people who tested positive, and refusing to get tested.
I wish all Americans wanted healthcare for all, but tHaT’s SoCiAliSm. It’s not going to happen if Biden wins the nomination and becomes president...

I'm more concerned about what happens to retail workers. We don't have the luxury of working from home or getting paid sick leave, and we're exposed to hundreds of coughing, sneezing, germ-infested people a day--both customers and coworkers who are forced to come to work sick or else risk their jobs. I'm lucky I left my previous job (which had a ridiculously unfair point system for attendance) and ended up in a place that takes call-ins on more of a case-by-case basis. If I were still at Walmart, I'd surely lose my job the minute I got sick and there would be nothing I could do about it. Regardless of whether or not you'll get fired for being sick, though, there's not much we can do to prevent catching it and if we can't go to work, we can't pay the bills. Which are gonna be big when we end up needing to go to the doctor or hospital.
But I guess that's less of a "coronavirus plan" issue and more of a "this country doesn't care about the working class and healthcare is a joke" kind of thing. This whole virus scare just really highlights how bad it is.

Not sure if I'm worried about the virus, myself. I do have a weakened immune system and work in a retail environment, so if someone who comes to my store is infected, chances of me catching it are high. And my ability to fight things off is lower than average. But from what I've been reading, in most cases it's basically like getting the flu, and the bigger danger is the development of pneumonia or something after the fact? In which case, it's not really any different than it ever was in terms of having little to no protection from illnesses in the workplace and no money coming to me if I get sick. The only change is that there's no vaccine or general immunity established for this one. At least, as far as I'm aware.

Oof, not sure if anyone has stopped by any grocery stores this weekend, but people have cleaned all the shelves out. We’re supposed to have enough food for ourselves for 2 weeks, but people are buying everything like they’ll be trapped in their homes for a whole year...

@koneko: VA did the same it seems. I got messages from my movie theater and gym that they’re closing. At least take out and deliveries are still a thing.
I really hope America gets to testing like the other countries... it’s unnerving to know who is sick and who isn’t because we can’t even get testing...

@koneko: I was trying to stay home too and ride this out, but my cousin has this small international grocery store and he’s asked me to help out since they’ve been swamped. I’m prolly going to end up sick at this point.
I hope you and your bf stay safe! And doggo as well, though I read that the virus doesn’t affect dogs and cats. xD
