@kevinrose@typeform It doesn’t really matter because there are no tests available. Many sick people in Seattle have been sent home with an inhaler after being denied a test. The real numbers once testing becomes available will be staggering.

President Trump is unable and unwilling to lead selflessly.
We must immediately convene an emergency, bipartisan authority of experts to support and direct a response that is comprehensive, compassionate, and based first and foremost on science and fact.
@bfeld The problem is, even if you have the symptoms, there's nothing you can do about it except self-quarantine, but at that point it's too late because you've already been contagious for 2 weeks. 🤷♂️
Most people can't "work from home" and many live paycheck to paycheck. What are we going to do as a society when there is no reasonable access for regular folks to create economic value through their labor?
“Schools are closing? Where do I send my children?”
“How do I afford healthcare?”
“I can’t afford to take off work!”
“I don’t have guarenteed housing if I leave school!”
The issues the virus is causing are literally everything progressives have been trying to fix for years.
We've been told over and over that Medicare for All is "too radical."
I think it's radical to have a health care system that leaves 87 million people uninsured or underinsured.
I think it's radical that people can't afford to see a doctor during a pandemic.
Why have an executive branch if it isn't willing lead at a time like this?
All of these decisions to cancel events, close schools or postpone opening days have been made by state, local and private sector leaders.
Why is everyone else leading, except for our President?
Interesting people will tend to get increasingly interesting over time
If you keep in touch with them regularly
They will always do cool new shit
And they'll blow your mind with how far they get doing it
If you don't - deep FOMO later
