I was thinking about that clip a few days ago. That terrible doctor who got fired, and killed the old lady :(

I've never seen that clip before...

In Cornoavirus economy news, as reported elsewhere here Wrestlemania was moved to a building with no fans. Now all the side attractions are cancelling, including one called Wrestlecon. Why is this making news? Because it was being held at a Marriott in Tampa and when they notified the hotel about having to cancel amid the Coronavirus, here's the Marriott's reply:

Could someone please notify the business world that it's 2020 and shit like this is going to get out?

Tax season extended 90 days.

As you probably know many moves are underway to pause rent, mortgage payments, interest, and so on. Saw some idiots stating "They can do this now, they can do this anytime. Remember that after this is over."

Fuck, people are stupid.

Yes, if they printed an infinite amount of $$$, they could blow up the entire economy.

I'm wondering what the law/Act looks like that overrides the millions of mortgage contracts in effect.

We're over 5K cases now.

I just scheduled a meeting for 2 p.m. Friday. It's via Zoom, but I really wonder if I'll even be able to be in the office for it by then.

Officials are searching for a woman who gave a false name and address to doctors at a New Jersey hospital before testing positive for the coronavirus.

The woman on Saturday went to East Orange General Hospital, where she tested positive for the coronavirus, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka said in a Facebook video Tuesday.

City Health officials went to the address she listed, and no one there knew who the woman was, Mr. Baraka said. Law-enforcement officials are assisting with locating the woman, he said.

It's server work that will require some manual effort, so no.

Ahhh, so not just a meeting.

I thought the US would go shutdown by Friday, but so far only SF + NY are taking that step, we'll see.

I also read that casinos in Vegas are shutting down. I'm sure they're gonna get economically hammered.
Sadly, it was a fluke.

Saw a doctor tonight on Newsy (the other stations were all covering the primaries for some reason, and the other was Fox doing opinion) and he said, "Sure, grandma and grandpa can be home watching kids and even take them out to play with other kids. You know, as long as the kids aren't snot nosed."

What. The. Fuck.
